Everyone we spoke with was super helpful, they had our reservation on time and the guy even gave us a slight discount because he was required by corporate to take lunch during our pickup time of 12pm and they only had 1 guy working the desk for the day. They didn't have our dolly, but he contacted an affiliate near where we were heading and we picked it up on the way (he removed the charge for the inconvenience). Also got a quick walkthrough of how to operate the truck - pretty straightforward but still nice. Positive experience, I always prefer Penske to Budget or Uhaul.

They will give you a truck with nails in the tires and other damage and blame you for it!!!! (we noticed the nails in the trucks tires as soon as we were driving off the lot so we returned it immediately after getting the keys. On the return after having the truck for minutes the Penske mechanic did a inspection and all of a sudden the fender was loose and falling off. They gave me a $1200+ dollar repair bill on top of the normal rental fee. Terrible experience. With a sketchy manager. Im sure they make a lot of money scamming customers claiming they did vehicle damage. Do NOT rent from Penske mission valley, or any Penske. I warn you.

Twice I reserved a cargo van from this place weeks in advance, and twice they called me at 5PM the evening before to tell me they didn't have a cargo van available. First time came as a surprise. Second time I confirmed my reservation over the phone in advance yet they still did it again. Totally unprofessional and customer service was dismal. I will never consider renting from this Penske again.

It was the perfect truck for the perfect price for that moving day no one wants to do. I had a reservation at uhaul and their system unluckily completely shut down. Couldn’t get any truck and Penske was there for the last minute. Better priced and everyone working was very kind and even had fun information about what they do with their trucks that no longer will be used. Easy and fluid experience. EVEN called when my friend left his wallet.

I only authorized a $100 payment for the truck and said they needed a $150 deposit, to be returned when I returned the truck. I returned the truck and they never returned the $150. The people at this location are scammers!

Rented 1 way from San Diego to Georgia….. truck windshield was so dirty, also previous rental paperwork and trash was left in truck cab, right mirror control didn’t work ( we had to tape the mirror to keep it adjusted properly & became safety concern when towing a vehicle ) The dash display kept alerting that fuel cap intake/inlet was not working). For the high cost of leasing in San Diego, I would expect none of these issues…. I have rented with Penske for at least 5 previous moves over the years. Would appreciate a call from Mission Valley location to discuss. Thank you.

Had the truck size I needed that day and without a reservation! Better than the other rental places!

We had a great experience here! Not only was the rental process super straightforward and easy, but the staff was above and beyond wonderful! We interacted with 3 different employees over the course of the rental and each of them was warm, helpful, and super pleasant to speak to. Our van was clean and easy to drive :) Thank you all so much for your help and for being so friendly! Would definitely rent from here again

We needed a one way truck from San Diego to NY state.We rented a van and it was clear it was not big enough to fit our equipment.Penske went out of their way at the last minute on a Sunday to find us a larger truck.Thank you so much. Will rent Penske again.

Great experience, clean vehicle, the only place that offers cargo vans for long distance moves. A little bit pricier than other options but well worth it

Go with U-Haul instead! Called and was quoted one thing. When I arrived, they said it was more than I was told. I took the day off so I had limited time. We drove 2 miles up the street and the bolts on the back door fell out. Nearly fell on us so the boyfriend returned for another truck. They took his card to charge the 2nd truck given to us. Didn't do a run through on how to use the lift gate or whee to put gas. Took over $120 in gas for 1 way trip from San Diego to Oceanside and they ended up charging both our credit cards. We went back and of course got the run around and we are still waiting for Michelle to call us back to correct the problem. Highly recommend to go elsewhere. Penske should have made sure everything was secure before giving us the truck and at least show us how to use the basic features like the lift gate. Very dissatisfied
