Yep. When I moved my wife (fiance at the time) into our first house, I showed up at the U-haul promptly at 8:00--their opening time. There was a line and the door was locked. Around 9:15 a visibly hungover 20-something party girl (sun glasses, disheveled clothes jumbo coffee, smeared mascara) shows up, unlocks the door, darts in, and in a display of amazing drunken dexterity, locks the door behind her. Around 9:30 she finally unlocks it and lets people in.
Around 10:00--two hours after we intended to start--it's finally my turn. I am informed that they do not have the truck I had reserved. They offer to let me pick one up from 100 miles away. I quickly figure out that they are going to charge me penalty mileage and it will consume at least another two hours. I tell them to pound sand.
We head over to the local Ryder, have a truck in 15 minutes. While the base fee is higher, the mileage allowance is also had higher and I end up saving $50 on the rental.
