How can you claim he did not plan his move? He clearlyplanned to rent from U-Haul and only when he went to pick up thetruck did he find these terms. Yes, he could have askedeverything in advance, but people don't always do this. Wouldyou have suggested that he rent an extra day in advance and payfor that extra day to allow for problems at pickup? Or should hehave done a test rental to see what the fees really were? Howcan you possibly blame the situation where he had no choice butto take the truck on their terms as anything other than U-Haul'sfault? He had choices - he chose not to exercise them. It isn't U-Haul's fault he chose not to properly research the costs of his move.You throw in a few variables like having someone else returns thetruck when you're too busy, and they don't refuel the truck and youget stuck with the bullshit fees. Or, you have someone pick up thetruck because you're too busy and you don't get the fine print toread. Of course I'm sure you geniuses would have done it differentlyand I'm sure you pack your underwear individually in zip lock bags.The truth is, U-Haul acts like they're affordable, and yet they areprobably on the higher end of the truck rental companies in terms oftotal cost. The truth is, they don't maintain their equipment. Thetruth is, they are deceptive about rental fees. I've rented from thembefore and NEVER had to pay an extra $20. fee as a penalty to refuelthe truck. And I sure as hell never paid $.80 a mile.The truth is, their fees and charges are all spelled out, in detail,at the time the original contract is signed. Why should the renterthink that he is off the hook because he delegated the return of thetruck to someone who evidently would not be legally permitted to drivethe truck in the first place?
