# How U-Haul Rentals Work at Our Upland Lot > First time renting a U-Haul in Upland? See who handles what, from the uhaul.com booking to pickup, checkout photos and return at our Foothill Blvd lot. Source: https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/u-haul-rentals-overview Updated: 2026-09-17 Business: Route 66 Auto Repair, 1775 W Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786, (909) 608-7699 Hours: Monday to Friday 8 AM–5 PM, Saturday 8 AM–2 PM, Sunday closed **TLDR:** U-Haul handles **booking and billing**. Our counter handles **pickup, photos and the hookup check**. Knowing the split saves time when plans change. Route 66 Auto Repair in Upland is a U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer, which means U-Haul runs the booking and billing while our counter handles your pickup and return in person. If this is your first rental, this page explains who does what, so you know whom to call when plans change. The short version: book online, meet us on Foothill Blvd, and keep your photos. ## What does a Neighborhood Dealer actually do? A Neighborhood Dealer is a local business that stores and hands out U-Haul equipment. U-Haul owns the trucks and trailers, sets the rates, and holds your reservation. We are the people you meet face to face. That split matters. If you need to change your date, equipment or drop-off city, do it through [our U-Haul reservation page](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/reserve-u-haul-online). If you have a question about the truck in front of you, the lot, or the hookup, ask our counter. ## Who handles each part of the rental? | Task | Handled by | | --- | --- | | Reservation, date and equipment changes | U-Haul, on uhaul.com or the app | | Rates and final receipt | U-Haul | | Contract check-in and keys | Our counter | | Walk-around and checkout photos | Our counter | | Trailer hookup check | Our technicians, at no charge | | Return inspection | Our counter, or U-Haul check-in after hours | ## Your first rental, start to finish 1. **Pick your equipment:** Use the size guidance on our [U-Haul rentals hub](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals) and confirm current capacity on uhaul.com. 2. **Book online:** Reserve with Upland as the pickup location and choose in-town or one-way. 3. **Meet us on Foothill Blvd:** Arrive during open hours with your license. We confirm the contract and walk the unit with you. 4. **Load and drive:** Load heavy items low and forward, then drive gently until you feel the size. 5. **Return with photos:** Bring it back clean with the agreed fuel level, and photograph the gauge and cargo area. ## What's included when you rent through us - In-person contract check-in at 1775 W Foothill Blvd - Walk-around with existing damage noted - Fuel and cleanliness photos at checkout - Free hookup check on any trailer or tow dolly - Clear return instructions, including after-hours drop ## What changes because we are also a repair shop? Our bays are a few steps from the lot. If a renter's tow vehicle shows a leak or a warning light at pickup, a technician can say whether it is safe to tow today or should wait. That look is informal. A full [vehicle safety inspection](https://route66autorepairshop.com/diagnostics-and-inspections/vehicle-safety-inspection) is a paid service with a written result. The hookup check itself is free, and you can read what it covers on the [free towing inspection](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/free-towing-inspection) page. ## Frequently asked questions ### Who do I call to change my U-Haul reservation?

Pickups happen Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 2 PM. Plan a Saturday morning pickup if your move is on the weekend. ### Do I need to be a repair customer to rent?
