U-Haul Truck Share 24/7℠ was created in response to the sharing
economy that is sweeping the globe. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 offers
self-pick-up and self-return of trucks and vans at all hours. An
internet-connected mobile device with camera and GPS is all that is
needed to take advantage of the self-service options.
This transformative technology employs a live verify system,
which utilizes a team of trained and certified specialists who
quickly and accurately vet customers during the self-pick-up step
to safeguard the best interests of the customer, community and
company.
"We intend to disrupt the self-move industry," said Joe Shoen, Chairman of U-Haul. "U-Haul Truck
Share 24/7 modernizes the transaction and security aspects of our
business. Like Uber and Alphabet transforming personal
transportation, the self-move industry is going to get disrupted. I
intend to be the one disrupting it."
We're on Your Schedule
The millions of DIY movers
across North America can now
reserve, pick up, return and pay for their U-Haul trucks entirely
on their smartphones. No more lines. No more scheduling around the
confines of normal business hours.
Need to start loading your truck at sunrise before your pick-up
location opens? Terrific. Prefer to return your truck at night once
you've unloaded, despite your drop-off location being closed? No
sweat. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 is available at all of the
21,000-plus truck sharing locations in the U-Haul network.
Membership is FREE
U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 doesn't
require a membership fee like car share companies. Log on to
uhaul.com and create an account for instant membership privileges.
U-Haul believes it has the largest such vehicle sharing membership
base in North America.
"We needed to address the changing demands of a tech-savvy
moving public," Shoen said. "The solution is an expedited and
secure process that accommodates every schedule. It's what our
customers demanded. After a decade of work and millions of dollars
in development, U-Haul is changing the game."
Welcome to the new way of moving. Welcome to the convenience of
U-Haul Truck Share 24/7.
