Examples of U-Haul's deceptive measurements


This information is from U-Haul's web page which can be accessed by clicking on "Show all equipment". Information which did not relate to the size has been removed and the deceptive measurements have been highlighted, either by making it blinking red or with a yellow background, surrounded by red. Some items which are not deceptive have been included to show that not all of the rental items are deceptive in size, but there are other items in which the size is accurate, like the new 10' Mini Mover. Please see the U-Haul webpage for the complete information. This information is being provided in order to inform consumers of the deceptive measurements.
