Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul

[Nuts]

It is being reported that Turo has now prohibited the Haul rd. This after UHaul announced they will enforce their existing policy against Haul rd use. Choices are getting limited.

I thought truro was people renting their own vehicles?

It is. But I am guessing Turo provides insurance which is likely how they are saying no. My insurance won't cover my truck if I rent it out. But Turo would.

I see A BUNCH of those trucks and vans on the haul road.
I wonder if the issue is damage or stink?
Either way, that will be a lot of lost revenue. It must have been a difficult decision.

I took a turo truck up there in 2024. I was just honest with the guy renting the truck. Told him where I was going. He said if I blew a tire or broke the windshield I would have to pay to fix it and I was fine with that.

I haven't rented a vehicle for the Haul rd but have for the McCarthy road , Steese hwy and Taylor Hwy. I use private rental companies and tell them where ai am taking it. They dont give you the nicest. Some have and extra fee. Some you have to convince them that this isnt your 1st rodeo. The issue is damage. Kills suspension. Windows. Tires. And much higher rate of crashes. Add to that the cost of a breakdown. Just not good business with a nice vehicle.

Any experience with Alaska 4X4's their website says they are okay with gravel roads and the prices were pretty cheap. I just don't know if there is a catch that I am missing.

I have used them. Zero issues. I actually had a reservation through them for this fall. Then I started seeing rumblings of more then one person getting hosed when they went to pick up. I reached out to make sure I was all good. I got no response so I emailed. Again no response. I canceled reservation and went elsewhere. Granted I book over a year in advance so I have time for shenanigans. Bookings go fast
