U-Haul Trucks: Reliable, and Trusted by DIY Movers

Packing up your life and moving is stressful enough, you shouldn’t have to worry about your rental moving truck! That’s why U-Haul builds and maintains the most reliable fleet of moving trucks that are backed by nationwide roadside assistance, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.

Trusted and Reliable Moving Truck Rentals

Unlike other rental companies, U-Haul builds our rental equipment in-house; our equipment is tested thoroughly before being released for rental. This scrutiny results in safer, more durable, and more user-friendly equipment.

U-Haul trucks are built on brand new and durable Ford® and GM® brand chassis, engineered for a smooth ride, easy loading, and maximum safety. Every single U-Haul moving truck is manufactured in the U.S. Our technicians construct the cargo box, add our exclusive EZ-Load ramps, and combine everything into one fully functional U-Haul truck—ready to move your belongings safely.

Along with the lowest ride and deck height in the moving industry, U-Haul moving trucks are lower to the ground which aids in safety and increased gas mileage. Learn more about How to Save Money on Truck Rentals.

What Makes U-Haul Moving Trucks the Best for DIY Moving?

At U-Haul, we’re committed to constantly improving and replenishing our fleet of vehicles. On average, 22% of our moving truck fleet is newer than 3-years old, with thousands of new units added yearly. This means that U-Haul moving trucks are durable, easy to drive, and designed for household moving.

U-Haul Rental Truck Maintenance

Building reliable trucks in-house is just the first step—we also go above and beyond to keep them in top condition for your move. That’s why we have 135 repair shops across the U.S. and Canada (with 14 more on the way).

We’ve also implemented a robust inspection program that far exceeds OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and DOT (Department of Transportation) standards. These inspections come with three levels:

Level 1: Completed every equipment return (customer concerns, tire check, etc.). If an issue is found, the equipment is flagged and removed from the fleet until it’s fixed.

Level 2: Field inspections every 30 days for one-way rentals and every 60 days for in-town rentals.

Level 3: Full preventative maintenance performed at U-Haul shops at regular mileage intervals.

Onsite Repairs: U-Haul doesn’t just repair equipment at shops—we also perform repairs at local centers when needed!

Investing in Certified Technicians

U-Haul goes above and beyond industry standards for maintenance and training for our rental moving trucks. We invest in our technicians and help them acquire manufacturer certifications.

That’s why we created the Master Tech Training Program, which combines unique U-Haul training with Ford®, GM®, and Stellantis® certifications. This means our technicians can handle warranty or recall repairs without waiting on dealerships, ensuring faster, more efficient service.
