We had a family member call us from another state. They wanted to use our address to rent a U-Haul truck. They said they couldn't use their address because their credit rating was not good. (A step-child ruined their credit , according to them.) We told them we didn't want them to use our address in case something happened to the truck, then it might affect our ability to rent a truck from U-Haul in the future.
We called our local U-Haul office. They told us that credit rating couldn't be determined using an address alone.
Something fishy seems to being going on here. What do you guys think?

Vehicule rentals such as U-Haul do not require any creditworthiness. Only a valid driver's license and a credit card. Be extremely careful. This doesn't sound right, I smell a rat.

I have rented a U-haul and other vehicles .The address I used had to match the drivers license I used- the main thing you need is a credit card.

Last time I rented a U-Haul truck, it was a cash deal, the subject of credit card, or credit was never brought up by the rental agent.

the numerous times we have rented a U-Haul the only thing they wanted was a credit card, and drivers license. No credit check

Renting a truck has nothing to do with your credit rating.
Many times, places like UHaul require a valid credit card, maybe they have a problem with that?
Sounds pretty bizarre to me.
