Moving Truck Rental in Cato, NY at Hometown Service Center & Sales

Please consider installing CD players or auxiliary music ports in your trucks.

Great experience start to finish. Convenient location, reasonable price, great service.

The drop off location was fine. However I do have an issue with the experience as a whole. First of all, someone that I spoke with over the week ended up getting the date mixed up and had us picking up this coming Saturday. After I was told I couldn't have the uhaul for two days like I had reserved online, and that I wouldn't be able to pick it up and drop it off in Cato which the location was 5 miles from my house instead I would have to drive to Auburn NY to pick it up and then drive it back to Auburn NY to drop it off. This is about 25-30 minutes from my house. But when I got to the uhaul location in Auburn I was told that because our truck reservation was so large and the date was messed up that I wouldn't be able to get that size truck from anywhere in the local area. But that i could get a 15 foot truck and trailer that would equal the same size of the 26 foot truck we had originally requested. I had to then drive to Seneca Falls NY to pick them up which is even further from my house. They sceduled it as a one way so that I could return to Hometown Auto in Cato NY. We went to Seneca falls and picked up the Uhaul(by this time we were already about an hour and a half behind schedule to start moving. We got moved and I went to return the truck to hometown Auto and when I went to do the after hours check in on my phone because they aren't open on Sunday's I was told that I had to return to Weedsport NY. I specifically told the uhaul rep at the Auburn location and the Seneca Falls locations that I needed to return to Hometown Auto in Cato and they both said this wouldn't be a problem. If there is a charge incurred for this I feel like I shouldn't have to pay it after all of these issues. Also I was told by the rep at the Auburn location that the cost would be $120.00 but when I went to pay at the Seneca Falls it was over $160.00. I am assuming this is because of taxes and fees but I didn't realize it would be over $40 from what I was quoted. I was extremely unhappy with every aspect of this transaction and then to boot I got a email from uhaul saying I had to pay another $25.00 for an extra day even though I returned on Sunday like I was supposed to and then this morning I got another email stating I had to pay .30 for an additional mile. This is unreal!!! I will be using a moving company or Penske next time I move to avoid these types of issues!!!! I work in customer service and sales and I would NEVER allow a customer to go through everything I have.

Hometown Service Center was outstanding, especially Rebecca and Paul. I cannot say the same thing for U-Haul Corporate. I made a reservation for a 26 foot truck. When that size was not available, I received a call from U-Haul, not Hometown, telling me that I could pick up a different size at another U-Haul location that was very inconvenient and a one way that would have been more expensive. When I asked if we could just drop it off at Hometown, she said no, but would give us a lower per mileage charge. It would have been more expensive for us to do that way, so I told her I would have to talk to my husband. On Friday, I received a call that went to voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, it was hold music, no talking. Glad that I had Rebecca to help us, it was critically important.

we set up a pick up time of 10 am never received our truck and trailer until 11am . very slow
