Tips For Returning Your Truck After Hours

Remove Your Belongings From the Vehicle – Double check that you have your phone, car keys, purse, phone, and any other personal belongings before you hit the road. It sounds simple, but if you’re in a rush, it can be easy to leave something behind.

Download the U-Haul App Before Arriving – The self-return process is easier and faster when you use the U-Haul App. To save yourself some extra time, make sure you have the app downloaded before you arrive if you don’t already have it on your phone.

Have Your Account Log in Information Ready – To keep the process seamless and moving forward, we recommend ensuring you have your log in information ready. That means you know your password and which email is associated with your account ahead of time.

Ensure Your Phone is Ready for Use – This may seem obvious but be sure your phone is charged and capable of connecting to the internet. You will also need to take photos, so having a working camera and available storage space is a must for a successful self-return.
