U-Haul Reno

[Boijoy]

just thought I'd post here & let you all know that the U-Haul located @ 3411 South Virginia Street, Reno will NOT rent for Burning Man & was quite RUDE about it.

[Bounce530]

Are you saying everybody on this board should flood them with calls asking about renting during that time of year?

[Boijoy]

Absolutly NOT!! here is the number (775) 825-4445‎

I just don't know why people have to be so rude about it. a simple "no" would have been just fine.

Some people do not realize how much their rudeness can cost them! ... Losing one customer today will cost you 100 customers within a month.

It just never hurts to be polite!

I've mentioned this before:
That was the Uhaul dealer I rented a trailer from in 07, they asked me what I wanted it for (which to me is like asking the races of occupants in a dwelling on the 2010 census form, none of there damn business) but I told them to go camping,
they asked where I was going and I said the Black Rock Desert.
Guess they did'nt put two and two together

They must have picked up a calculator.

yeah.. I figure when I go to pick up the Budget Truck I will have to cover my tattoo of " the man" & make up a lame ass story about moving, or building something. I just HATE fibbing. no doubt they will know where i've gone by the mileage & dust when I return it. I plan to clean it very well.. but you know there is NO way to get all the dust. & glitter.

Budget Truck Rental in Reno(Gentry Ave.)is happy to rent to Project participants.No story/fib needed.

[Boijoy]

yeah !!! because that's where I reserved.
thanks Zorro, that makes me very happy.

Glad that's all it takes!

Further advise is that before retuning it you go to Alamo Truck Wash(off I-80 Gregg St. Sparks) .For $39.95(engine wash included though make sure to remind them) and most likely an hour wait the truck will pass inspection at Budget every time.Other places could charge $100-200 for same thing.

awesome advice. I will do that. I was wondering how to clean the motor. I was thinking of using my leaf blower.

On a related but separate note, a good idea I've heard is to stop at a gas station and use their air compressor to clean your tires, breaks, and air filter. Wouldn't work for the whole under-hood though.
