car rental one way

U-Haul is a North American equipment rental company, based in Phoenix, Arizona, that has been in operation since 1945. The company was founded by Leonard Shoen (1916-1999) in Ridgefield, Washington, who began it in the garage owned by his wife's family, and expanded through franchising with gas stations.

U-Haul is owned by Amerco (NASDAQ: UHAL), a holding company which also operates Amerco Real Estate, Republic Western Insurance, and Oxford Life Insurance. The Shoen family currently owns about 40% of the publicly-traded stock corporation. The company rents trucks, trailers, and other pieces of equipment, but many franchisees also provide storage, propane refueling, hitch and trailer wiring installation, and carpet cleaners, among other services. U-Haul is widely derided for poor quality of service and faulty equipment; much of this results directly from U-Haul's use of older equipment in the field. However, the use of older equipment and the company's many outlets across the country makes its services easier to access and more affordable than most competitors.

Because of the company's ubiquity (there are 15,000 dealers across the country) the name is sometimes used as a genericized trademark to refer to the services of any rental company. Search by price, car type, best deal, city and more.
