THE TRUCK I RENTED FROM U HAUL WAS UNSAFE AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED FOR RENTAL. I PAID $795.00. THE LEFTHEAD LIGHT WAS SO FAR OUT OF ADJUSTMENT THAT I COULD NOT SEE THE CENTER DIVIDER, THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK, THE WINSHIELD WASHER RESEVOIR WAS EMPTY. I PAID AN ADDITIONAL $110.00 FOR U HAUL'S SAFE MOVE- SAFE TOW AND BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. CONTRACT # 00035048
