You must check for damage inside and out including dents, large scratches, tears and windshield cracks. You agree to report minor damage in the U-Haul Car Share Guide located in the glove box (If damage has already been marked, there is no need to mark it again). If there is any serious damage that is not marked in the U-Haul Car Share Guide or the previous member left the U-Haul Car Share Vehicle in an unclean condition, please call us immediately at: 1-877-990-8227 Our vehicles have an orange keypad on them.

We'll pay gas for you as long as you help us fill it up. As a member you are required to fill the tank when it reaches below tank. Please follow these directions: 1. The gas card is located on the driver side visor. 2. Like any other credit card, use it at the pump or bring it in to the attendant. 3. You will be asked to enter your Driver ID.
