    *** BEWARE*** Do not rent from the Uhaul on Van Buren in Riverside Address: 3600 Van Buren Blvd, Riverside CA 92503 Zach G - Store Manager Zach will scam you if he is given the opportunity. I'm posting this because I have a feeling we aren't the first ones that he has done this to and we are not the last. My husband rented a Uhaul van on March 11th. When he returned it a couple hours later, Zach said he damaged it, showing a small ding on the side of the van. My husband did not hit anything and there's no way that it could have been damaged. Zach was stating that my husband caused damage to the van and if he paid today it would be around $450 right then. However, if he paid later it would be about $800. Unfortunately, my husband didn't take pictures of the van before he left their lot. It was raining and he was rushing. Definitely not smart on my husband's side. When he returned, my husband asked him to show him the video of when he received the van, as it would clearly show if the damage was there or not before he left. (There is a surveilence camera set right at that spot and it was clearly showing another van parked in the same place, and also clear enough to make out those types of details). He asked to see the video as it was playing, but Zach wouldn't allow him to. Instead, he went into the office for 10+ minutes and emerged with a grainy, zoomed in picture of what could be any of the vans there (no plate or any other distinguishing mark). He asked for any type of documentation from past rentals that shows no damage. Zach said no. My husband was just asking Zach to show him anything besides the picture that Zach showed with the damage. Zach would not. It's pretty easy to presume that someone else, possibly an employee, had dinged the van and it could now be taken care of without cost or blame to the store. They were hoping that we would pay for their mistake. I contacted our insurance company to see what our options were. It would be covered, but obviously our insurance rates would go up. I contacted Uhaul corporate a couple times. I wanted to see if they would be able to pull up any history of this vehicle. They would only transfer me to their insurance company. About a month later we received a letter from their insurance that now says we owe $1,362.00. I emailed the company rep and explained everything. I explained what my husband said, what he asked Zach for, how we have no problem with paying as long as there was no history of this damage. TODAY the rep emailed me back. They stated **"I have closed the claim as pre-existing damages. I was able to locate photos of the same damage prior to this claim. I have closed the claim and no further action will be taken. He does not need to reach out to them any longer."** Meaning that Zach knew full well that my husband didn't cause this damage but still tried to demand money because my husband made the mistake of not taking pictures. We could have claimed this on our insurance. Our rates would have gone up. If we didn't claim it we would have paid $1,362. This is gross and I will be contacting Uhaul corporate again. This is disgusting that Zach thinks he can do it and get away with it. It's gross if Uhaul knows about it and hasn't done anything.

    Absolute morons working here. Came to get a hitch installed and they broke two of the pieces off that attach my bumper to the body of car. Complained immediately and had to get their insurance company to replace it. Which they did. They paid in full, but the young employees working here didn't even seem to get what an egregious mistake they made. They're clueless. Avoid these incompetent .... at all costs.

    The Enterprise Trucks location in Corona is absolutely amazing. I bought a horse trailer in March…read moreof 2025 to help safeguard my 2 horses from the wildfires in case we ever need to evacuate. But since I don't have a truck and the trailer blocks my driveway, it needs to be moved every time I have hay delivered every 3 weeks, so the only way for me to accomplish this is to rent a truck every 3 weeks from this Enterprise location. I think I've rented probably 5-6 times so far, and every time I have picked up or returned my rental, it has been such a pleasant experience. From when I first walk through the door to the time I'm behind the wheel, it probably is only about 5 minutes total. What an incredible resource this location is for anyone who needs a tow vehicle temporarily. Everyone there is so personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. They always go above and beyond to help me with my rentals, including cheerfully answering all my questions about truck brands or rental policies, graciously assisting with price adjustments when I've overfilled the gas, and having no issues with accidentally early or late pickups. They also now recognize me when I walk in, and I'm always greeted cheerfully, as well, which is nice! This particular occasion, they had assigned me a Dodge long bed, and even given me a discount on the rental price upon request as the normal day rate I'd been getting for months had gone up quite a lot for the summer season, so they split the difference, which was so helpful and a wonderful gesture. That's when I happened to see a Chevy short bed on the lot, and asked if I could have that one instead as I hadn't ever driven a Chevy before, and our home is a bit too small to maneuver a long bed easily. They swiftly and cheerfully agreed to swap the trucks and put the Dodge back and got the Chevy ready for me, including vacuuming and washing it. It was apparently brand-new and even still wrapped in plastic inside, so I was the very first renter! I know for a fact that if this location did not exist, there would be no way I could ever try out a brand-new truck in a real-world towing situation, so I'm very appreciative and grateful for the services this location provides! In general, this location always has sparkling clean, very new trucks, often in higher and more luxurious trim models, in good repair. Whenever the hay delivery people see the trucks I rent connected to my horse trailer, they are always astonished that these are rental trucks since they are such high quality. Your nice trucks are definitely your own best advertisement! There was one time you rented me an F-250 XLT diesel in a glossy light grey, and that one definitely turned heads! I haven't yet had a need to actually tow my horses anywhere, but I know that until I can afford my own truck, I will definitely always rent from this location to ensure that I can have a new and sufficiently strong tow vehicle so that my horses can be transported as safely as possible. Truly, although it is expensive to rent every 3 weeks, the fees pale in comparison to the price of a new truck, and as a bonus, I don't have to worry about any of the maintenance or other ownership costs. I've never been so glad to give my hard-earned money to a rental car company before now! If only every rental car company was as nice and accommodating as Enterprise Trucks Corona is!! Thank you again for everything!

    I am a military servicemember who rented a 22-foot diesel truck with an auto trailer from Penske to…read moreconduct a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move from CA to AZ. I had multiple issues with the rental equipment and service: 1. Lack of Proper Instruction: At pickup, I was not given any in-person operational guidance for the truck or trailer. I was told to watch a video instead of being shown how to safely load my car and how to operate the truck. 2. Safety Issue - Headlight Out: The passenger-side headlight was burned out, making the vehicle unsafe to operate at night. Much of my driving had to be done after dark due to PCS timing. As a result, I drove the entire trip with my high beams on. 3. Non-Functional Radio: The truck's radio system did not seem to work, making communication and navigation more difficult during the move. 4. Fueling Problem & Unfair Surcharge: At drop-off, I was charged $73.08 for a fuel shortage despite refueling attempts. The truck's diesel tank repeatedly shut off the pump before full, preventing a proper top-off. I explained this to staff, but the charge was still applied. I showed two (2) receipts as in good faith for the refueling. 5. Airbrake Malfunction: The airbrakes did not fully release, creating an ongoing operational problem, and the brake alarm would intermittently sound on and off throughout the drive. 6. Severe Lack of Power: The truck performed poorly in mountainous terrain while carrying only 8,500 lbs. of household goods and my 2017 Ford Focus vehicle. At times, it could not exceed 40 mph on highways, creating a serious safety hazard. 7. Transmission Issue: The truck's transmission was slow to shift and consistently lacked power, further limiting safe operation during the move. 8. Personal Hardship: As a single woman making this PCS move without assistance and while transporting three emotional support dogs, the truck's numerous issues pushed me beyond my mental and physical limits. I was terrified to operate it under these unsafe conditions. I was also uneasy driving with high-beams on the entire night with this truck but I had no choice because I knew CHP or AZ Highway Patrol would have given me an inoperable ticket. My suggestions are: watch all videos prior the to rental, get to know the gauges, how the radio works to keep you entertained or plug and play. Get educated on Diesel gas refueling and the DEF requirements. Do a safety inspection prior to taking off insuring tires, brake system, lights and turn signals all work! This was a huge truck to rent and I literally was a Scared e cat! And I can drive a lot of different vehicles!! Good luck tho!
