★★★★ Rusty Lee 5/8/2026 v3.10.1
im trying to pay my storage bill website wont let me

★★★★ arim Ortiz 5/8/2026 v3.10.1
this app is a disaster
★★★★ David Beevers 5/7/2026 v3.10.1
This app is terrible. I tried multiple times to create an account so I could track my truck rental, and every time the app ran into some problem and couldn't even allow me to sign in. Switched to just using their website. U-Haul, if you're going to get an app for people to use, you ought to make sure it's stable and functional.
★★★★ James Simmons 5/5/2026
Terrible! installed several times and would not open sends me back install again and again
★★★★ gang Squad 5/5/2026 v3.10.1
the worst app ever does not have updated trucks or correct rental info this site will have you wasting time.
★★★★ Ahren Alfonso 5/5/2026
this app does not work. if I could rate this lower than 0 stars I would.
★★★★ Norielle Knight 5/5/2026 v3.10.1
this app hasn't worked in weeks
★★★★ Denny Victory 5/4/2026
Too many calls. I've already stated more than once, I would call when ready!
★★★★ Keith Lutz 5/4/2026 v3.10.1
they should rebrand this as the Oops Something Went Wrong app as that's the only thing I've ever seen it 'do'...
★★★★ BO 5/4/2026 v3.10.1
takes forever to load, honestly the whole app is useless
★★★★ Scott Jones 5/4/2026 v3.10.1
can login with website but not app, why doesn't the app have option for email login, use phone number but wants profile and gives error.
★★★★ Frank and Wendy Malerby or King 5/4/2026
does nothing for my trailer hitch appointment. not mentioned in app.
★★★★ Jason Millsaps 5/3/2026 v3.10.1
Went through all the steps to return my Van and then at the end it said updating our records and would not continue no matter what. Now I have no idea if it completed it & have been on hold waiting to speak to someone for over 25 minutes! 😡🤬
★★★★ Lori Strohm 5/3/2026
can't even open app to rent a truck
★★★★ Pat Chiarelli 5/3/2026 v3.10.0
it doesn't work
★★★★ Cliff Schonert 5/3/2026 v3.10.1
🛑DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME INSTALLING THIS (U-HAUL) APP!🛑POSITIVELY THE WORST APP I HAVE EVER INSTALLED🛑I OPEN THE APP & RECEIVE (ERROR MESSAGE)"OOPS...SOMETHING WENT WRONG...PLEASE RETRY"🛑U-HAUL APP SUCKS!🛑GREAT COMPANY, GREAT LOCAL U-HAUL ESTABLISHMENT...BUT YOU'RE (I.T. PEOPLE) ARE SITTING ON THEIR BRAINS🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬!
★★★★ SFL_Crusher 5/3/2026 v3.10.0
the app works about 15% of the time
★★★★ Pepper K 5/3/2026 v3.10.0
All it says is "Oops! something went wrong" and I can't do anything else.
★★★★ LIS M MOREAU 5/3/2026 v3.8.8
DO NOT TRUST THIS APP. I HIRED SOME WORKERS FROM HERE AND GOT TAKEN FOR $1,000.
★★★★ Jeanne Lorena 5/3/2026 v3.10.1
always down
★★★★ Joe Amend 5/3/2026 v3.10.1
The app doesn't work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled several times to no avail
★★★★ Bryan Adams 5/2/2026 v3.10.0
awful application. constantly kicking me back to precious steps causing me to have to take photographs of the truck multiple times and then stuck on loading screens and having to redo the entire pick up / drop off process over and over again. maybe try using the app developers and you'll realize it doesn't even work
★★★★ Travis Johnson 5/2/2026 v3.10.0
I reserved my equipment a month in advance and then received a call less than 24 hours before saying they didn't have it and I need to drive way farther, an hour in total added just to pick up the truck size I had requested at my local location
★★★★ Nathan Moffatt 5/1/2026 v3.10.1
the app won't open. it says oops, something went wrong. no amount of clearing caches, deleting and redownloading, or any other troubleshooting fixes it
★★★★ Kristina Clouthier 5/1/2026
Doesn't work at all.
★★★★ Sidney Shakal 5/1/2026 v3.10.1
I get "Oops! Something Went Wrong" immediately on opening the app off a fresh install.
★★★★ Pete 5/1/2026 v3.10.1
Garbage. Total garbage and huge waste of time. Literally could not return my rental without calling a CSR, which took over 15 min to get on the line. App would not accept equipment photos, so the return could not be completed. Fix your app and stop wasting people's time. My experience has ensured that I will be using Penske in the future.
★★★★ Spencer M 4/30/2026 v3.10.1
I've been trying to open this app for days. I uninstall and reinstall with the same errors.
★★★★ Paulette Taylor 4/30/2026 v3.10.1
horrible app, can't even use it. constant error
★★★★ andrew cooper 4/30/2026 v3.9.1
they don't honor what they say
★★★★ Gregory A. Garner 4/30/2026 v3.10.0
Since the last update, the app simply does NOT work at all.
★★★★ Erika Alvarez 4/30/2026 v3.10.0
The website and app both have not worked in two days. This is ridiculous!
★★★★ Beepee Fromabove 4/29/2026
Lousy App. They can do better.
★★★★ D. Lofton 4/29/2026
why are you still trying to use my card? I am done with all of my business with you. U-Haul my rating for you is 👎
★★★★ Joshua Smith 4/29/2026
Well, it doesn't work, so it's an obvious zero stars for not working at all. Even after updating it today, it still just says: "Oops, something went wrong. Try again later." Well, it's later and still not working. Gave it all permissions, cleared data 10 times.
★★★★ Ludovic Gagnon 4/29/2026 v3.10.0
horrible experience we rent a week ahead and get called the day before pickup to say that they only have a truck available 300km away from our city or maybe the next week. never again
★★★★ clive morris 4/29/2026 v3.10.1
don't work crash all the time
★★★★ Tasha W 4/29/2026 v3.10.1
Just straight up won't work, keeps telling me "oops! something went wrong.," I've uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing.
★★★★ Al Rayos 4/28/2026
don't have it
★★★★ Isiah Shaw 4/27/2026 v3.10.1
I cannot sign in nor try to get into app without error. App seems to not work.
★★★★ Beautiful Beautiful 4/27/2026 v3.10.0
this app doesn't work it keeps saying come back in a few minutes to retry to log in and it's been days and it's still not working how am I supposed to keep track of my things and make my payment if I can't even use the app I'm so disappointed
★★★★ Alain Savoie 4/27/2026 v3.10.0
Worst possible app. You can't sign in. not with phone passcode, not with email, not with password. Completely useless.
★★★★ Brandon Carr 4/27/2026 v3.10.1
Does not work on my device anymore. Please fix it!
★★★★ Jake Cohen 4/26/2026
Makes you re enter all the same info you've already put in the web site. Whatever they paid for this app to be developed was too much. This app is the opposite of what it claims..it adds serious friction to the rental experience instead of making it easier.
★★★★ Taylor Renner 4/26/2026 v3.10.1
crashes constantly and now has a permanent "oops! we are trying to fix this!" screen. unusable.
★★★★ Muhammad Abdelraziq 4/26/2026 v3.10.1
simply a waste of time
★★★★ Andy Raffalski 4/26/2026 v3.10.1
The worst app in ANY electronic data repository developed by an annual multi-billion dollar revenue business. On the day I needed a truck for moving, the worst part of the truck rental was this inept app that would not open. If these billionaire entrepreneur's don't fix this app, I will not come back in the future.
★★★★ Nelson Paulino 4/26/2026 v3.10.0
The words I want to use are forbidden in most of the contiguous states...
