This kind of convivence is what many truck renters hope for elsewhere! At U-Haul, it’s the standard.

The U-Haul Standard: Making Truck Rental Easy

Here are a few U-Haul standards that often feel like pleasant surprises if you’ve rented a truck before:

The U-Haul Standard	What it means for you
After-hours pick up	Use Truck Share 24/7 to skip the counter and self-pick up during and outside normal business hours with your phone on the U-Haul App.
After-hours drop off	Use U-Haul Self Return to complete a return in minutes with photos and simple questions, then drop keys in the key slot or drop box.
Flexible payment options	Reserve and pay with a major credit or debit card, or use cash or check if you reserve in-store (cash deposit requires instore pick up).
No extra or young driver upcharge	Many companies charge for additional or young drivers. U-Haul does not charge for additional or young drivers (drivers must meet standard rental requirements).
Huge network and one-way flexibility	U-Haul has more than 22,000 locations supporting contactless pickup and drop off across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces that support mobile before-hours pickup and after-hours drop off.

Payment Options That Work for Real-Life Moves

Other rental companies may use pay-now tactics to get you to pay a lower price than you would at the counter, but U-Haul makes payment straightforward. U-Haul never uses those kinds of tactics, and the one price you see is the one you pay:

Debit and Credit Cards are Standard for Reserving and Renting
To make a reservation online, you’ll need a major credit or debit card in your name.

Cash and Checks are also an Option, too (with a Deposit at Pickup)
If you’d rather pay in cash, that’s allowed, but a deposit and in-store pickup are required.

• In-town truck: $100 or estimated rental charges (whichever is greater)
• One-way truck: $100 plus the rental rate

Early Morning and After-Hours Pick up: Moving Doesn’t Wait for Business Hours
U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 on the U-Haul App is designed for the reality that moves happen early, late, and on weekends. The program allows you to self-pick up and self-return during and outside normal business hours using the U-Haul App.

A few specifics the guide calls out:

• You must have your physical driver's license
• You’ll complete a live verification in the U-Haul App (including a selfie and photos of your driver’s license).
• Your truck is ready an hour before your pickup time (the “Pick Up My Truck” option may be unavailable if you arrive too early).

U-Haul Self Return: Drop off Anytime
U-Haul Self Return walks you through returning your truck after hours by:

• Answering a few questions about mileage, performance, and cleanliness
• Uploading required photos
• Reviewing pending charges
• Locking the truck and placing keys in the designated key drop box or slot

A Small Detail That Saves Time and Money

If you return equipment after hours, verifying your return in the U-Haul App can help you avoid a $20 convenience fee that may apply when a U-Haul Representative verifies equipment after store hours. (Your contract and location details can vary, so always review your rental agreement.)
