Hiawatha Reddy Rents Inc

Total jerks. Here’s a few questions:
–Why is it necessary to block the entire street when you could easily pull over to one side and let traffic pass?
–When someone who lives on that street politely asks if you can please move, why did the Reddy Rent employee think «just go around!» was an appropriate, polite, or rational response?
–Since we were on a one-​way street and the truck was at the very end of the block, obstructing the entire street, how exactly was I supposed to go around?
–When I asked if it was really necessary that the truck block the entire street, why did the Reddy Rent employee think «We’re only blocking part of the street» was an appropriate, polite, or rational response?
–When I stopped to look closer at the truck, why did another employee, seemingly the owner, think yelling «writing down the license plate won’t do you any good!» was the best way to interact with the public and potential customers?
–Why would anyone think this is a good way to represent their business? There’s only so many rental companies in Minneapolis. If you want to make yours stand out, don’t do so in a negative way. If I ever need to rent something, I know I sure as shit won’t go to this company, and tell all of my friends to do the same.

They rent EVERYTHING here, at reasonable rates. Family owned and been around a million years. This is the place you need in your back pocket when you need to rent, well, anything you might need in the way of contracting/​home repair/​entertainment.
Most recently I rented a Penske truck here for a one way move. The truck was ready, cleaned, fully fueled and ready to go just as promised. Oddly, I showed up a bit early but was directed to wait until the precise time of my appointment. Still, if you need to rent everything, then here is where to go.

These guys are my GO TO rental company in town. Brian and Dot are the best… their sons work there too. Always so friendly, they always hustle to get me what I need when I need it. I’ve rented mostly trucks, but they’re good for the occasional mower, drain snake, or floor sander too. Their prices are fair and their service is top notch. There’s always someone to help remove or load your car/​truck if what you’re renting is a little heavy. I’m about to move out of the neighborhood, but I know I’ll make a special trip back just to give my business to these guys.

I don’t rent very often and when I do it is usually a truck for moving. I was in between apartments and had to rent a truck twice, once to move from apartment to storage and another time to move from storage to apartment… You get the idea.
My first experience here was really easy, the truck was $ 39.99 + Tax and suited all my needs. There was some confusion over my method of payment, they authorize a card for $ 250 for deposit then you get charged after the rental is returned for whatever the cost is plus mileage, gas, etc. The $ 250 then gets put back on your card, well in my case they accidentally charged my card, luckily they were able to refund it and there was really no harm done.
My second experience was just as easy, I asked for the same thing I had a month ago and there was no questions asked. Once I payed I notice the rate is suddenly $ 49.99 + Tax. There is no price listing I can find on the web site and when I asked about the change I was told they just moved their rates on the 1^st of the month. Seemed a little fishy to me especially since it was May 1^st and I was specific in asking for the same thing I just had less than 30 days ago. I would think at the time i was filling out paper work before actually renting the truck someone would have mentioned,
«Hey, by the way our rates changed starting this month and it is different from your last rental».
I didn’t really feel valued as a customer who came back twice in a month to rent equipment and was a little upset I wasn’t informed about the change in price. I guess I will stick to my normal process for renting when I need to… Cheapest Option Wins.

I rented a carpet dryer and a wet/​dry vac. I didn’t realize I couldn’t use the wet/​dry vac to get water out of a wet carpet, and when I told them it didn’t work for me, they took the charge off my bill. At least they said they did :) very nice customer service. I will use them for renting in the future. They seem honest, grungy, down to earth. Grungy in a good way :)

40 bucks and they down charge you if you have your own insurance. Go here and get your trucks they are always friendly and professional as well.

I’ve used Reddy Rents for two moves now, and haven’t found a better deal in town. Great service, however on my most recent move I was the last to pick up a truck in the size I ordered and ended up with one that was substantially worse than the others… to be expected, I guess? Would definitely rent from them again, but would get my truck earlier.
