Location: Houston, TX

2 Weeks ago 1/20/2004 I personally went to the Company owned/operated UHAUL to reserve a truck for an upcoming in-town move.

I made the reservation for pickup 1/30/2004 5:00pm and Return due date no later then 1/31/2004 5:00pm. The location that I went to make the reservation/pickup was at:

UHAUL Co.

of I45
16405 I-45 NORTH
HOUSTON, TX 77090
(281) 440-5113

I have the Reservation contract ‘RENTAL CONTRACT ADDENDUM’ with me and I was billed $100 on my credit card for reservation deposit (this was for 26 ft truck, moving pads and dolly). I have a witness who was present with me and can vouch the reservation.

Now on the day of 1/30/2004, I got at the store at 4:50pm to pick up the rental and once they looked up my reservation, I was informed I had to return the truck prior to 7:00am next morning.

The person who had taken the reservation informed me that they had a new manger that had just started after my reservation had been made. And that he had made this change so the truck that I had reserved is suppose to be in prior to 7:00am and out for next reservation, and then back by 3:00pm for the next reservation. I was not informed of this change and no reason was given to me as to why this change was made.

And off course the manager was NOT available to comment.

I informed that my reservation is up until 5:00pm next day, not 7:00am, I can not move middle of the night, plus I informed the desk employees that I had made arrangement for some Friends to help me move and they are coming at 7:00am 1/31/2004. Not at middle of the night.

So at around 5:25pm finally I get the truck and the following morning I get a call from the Manger, telling that the truck should have been back at 7:00am and that he was going to charge my credit card $100.

I and few of my Friends worked really hard to get the work done early, because we felt sorry for the other renters.

    Keep that original contract safe. It's your life line. Cancel the credit card, or get the number changed so they can't add charges on. They will do it. Keep after their customer service; don't budge an inch. They were out of line, and the mgr was out of line.

    I agree with the manager "Jacob". Your lucky he didnt charge you for what the truck was worth which im sure was much more that $10,000. Be grateful...if you came and rented from me and didnt return my truck i would have done alot worse.

    Taurus - if it went to small claims court, the consumer would win. It doesn't matter what you would do if they rented from you, tough guy. If you did the above and worse you'd lose in court too.

    YOU WERE NOT CHARGED, DUMB ASS!!!! READ THE PART THAT SAYS , PAID TODAY IT WILL SAY $0. CREDIT CARD HELD- $100, HELD NOT CHARGED. YOU ARE A MORON!!! READ NEXT TIME YOU PIECE OF CRAP!

    hey moody, UHAUL doesn't lose in court. U-Haul's ass is covered on so many different levels nobody can win. No lawyer will take a case against U-Haul. and it says in the document holder, line 6, customer will return the equipment to u-hauil at the timd, place and condition agreed to within the allowed mileage stated. Any operation of equipment outside of time agreed and allowed mileage stated is without U-haul consent and addtional charges will be assesesed. Customer expressly authorizes U-Haul to apply any and all additional charges, including lost revenue, on the credit card used to pay for the rental or used as meaningful assurance when re... more >>

    Regardless of what the discussion was when you rented the vehicle...what did the RENTAL AGREEMENT state when you signed the document (ie when you got the keys)? Did it state a 24 hour reservation? You had to sign an agreement that said the terms (ie did the manager change the time?)
