The Bad

  • Undisclosed Prices 
  • Additional Fees 

Undisclosed Prices

Unfortunately Penske does not disclose prices on trucks, moving supplies and labor. You can request a free quote on their website by providing your contact information and details about your move. Prices on the moving boxes, towing equipment, moving labor and other resources is not disclosed as well. Knowing the prices that might cost you to move is a simple way to reduce stress and compare moving services near you.

Additional Fees

To cancel your reservation with Penske or add additional days to your move might cost you some extra fees. You can cancel your reservation up to 48 hours prior to your pickup date for no additional charge. If you cancel within 48 hours of your pickup date, there is a $100 cancellation fee. If you add days prior to your pickup date, your additional days would be $50 each, and if you add days after you pick up the truck, your additional days would be $100 each.

The Bottom Line

Penske Truck Rental has over 45 years of experience in moving resources. They offer multiple resources and services to make your move easy and stress free. Also, you can find additional discount offers and deals if you qualify for them; however, undisclosed prices and additional fees will make it difficult to know how much your move will cost you and what additional fees you might face during your move.

Like with Uhaul, Penske is very reliable. The process of renting and returning the moving trucks were painless. They do the job well and it's a great option still for moving! No complaints as it's all pretty straight forward. Key is to get someone who knows what they're doing to help with the organization of your stuff to make sure nothing falls or breaks in transit!

A little on the more expensive side but overall is worth it with what you get in return. Normally they give you the truck with a full tank of gas, but they only gave me 1/2 a tank to start with.

We used Penske for moving mulch for a Boy Scout fundraiser. We packed alot of mulch in the truck to deliver to customers. The truck was comfortable and easy to drive. It was also one of the most reasonable rentals at the time. It served its purpose.

Penske was super affordable and renting a moving truck was super easy as the staff were very nice and corporative! We moved from Boston to Maryland and the truck worked like new, the returning process was also super easy! Totally recommend Penske!

I recently moved across the state and rented the largest truck available. Pick up and drop off was incredibly easy. It was a bit expensive but better than hiring a company to move me!

Trucks seem to lack the quality of some competitors in terms of comfort in my opinion, but decided to give them a shot for a quick move for some furniture I got off facebook. No issues, easy customer service.

We used Penske trucks in our last move and were happy with them. They worked well and had trucks big enough for what we needed. The only issue is they go so slow but I can understand why.

Super nice employees who were very helpful with our rental. The truck was in good condition and I didn’t worry about the safety of the items I was transferring while moving them.

I rented one recently and it was a great experience. They had a great truck with some impressive features to make a good trip for me. The price was pretty high compared to others.

I have used Penske Truck rentals in the past, but usually they are higher priced and not very convenient.

Hi used their service extensively when I moved a few years ago. The trucks are dependable and a much better value than U-Haul.

Very good trucks, but they are expensive. If you can find a deal, I’d use them, otherwise, don’t.
