Things may have changed over the years (20+) but for what it is worth here is the experience I had with U-haul.
When I called up the toll free number to reserve a trailer for where I intend to pick it up the price was about 30% higher than the price
I was given when I contacted directly the local U-haul outlet where I wanted to pick up the trailer.
I needed the trailer to haul a 1948 Desoto for a friend (+/-3500 lbs)
I was driving a GMC 1-ton.
Told the guy at U-haul what I wanted the trailer for and he mumbled something about the stupid computer probably won't know what that is but he could fix that.

Bought my own trailer years ago.
Stock reply when someone wants to borrow it is;
It needs a new battery for the break away and shoes on the left side of the front axle, if you want to fix that for me you can borrow it. (Funny no takers yet on the offer)

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
