Goodyear Elite Tire Upland is a tire and auto repair shop at 1775 W Foothill Blvd that also rents U-Haul trucks and trailers. As a U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer, we rent moving trucks, cargo vans, cargo and utility trailers, tow dollies and auto transports. Call (909) 608-7699 to reserve. We check your hitch and walk the rental with you before you leave.
What can you rent from this lot?
This lot rents the main U-Haul equipment families and small businesses use: moving trucks, cargo vans, enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, tow dollies and auto transport trailers. What is on the lot on a given day changes, so we confirm the exact unit when you call.
| Equipment | Typically used for | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| 10-foot and 15-foot trucks | Studio to about two-bedroom moves | 10-foot truck |
| 20-foot and 26-foot trucks | Larger homes, full garages | 20-foot truck |
| Cargo van | Small moves, dorms, store runs | Cargo van |
| Cargo trailers | Boxes and furniture behind your own vehicle | Cargo trailers |
| Utility trailers | Yard waste, lumber, mowers, appliances | Utility trailers |
| Tow dolly and auto transport | Bringing a car along on a move | Auto transport |
Sizes and specs in this guide are approximate. The person on the phone confirms current dimensions and what your vehicle can tow.
How do you reserve a U-Haul here?
Reservations at this location are by phone only. Call (909) 608-7699 to reserve. One conversation lets us match the size to your load, check whether your vehicle can pull the trailer you want, and set a pickup time that fits our hours. We do not post live availability online, so the call is the fastest way to a real answer.
Have these ready before you dial:
- Dates: the day you want to pick up and the day you plan to return.
- Type of move: in-town (back to this lot) or one-way (dropped in another city).
- Destination: the city you are heading to if it is one-way.
- The load: rooms, the biggest pieces, and any appliances.
- Tow vehicle: year, make and model, plus hitch details if you are renting a trailer or dolly.
The reserve page walks through each item and what happens after you hang up.
How do you pick the right truck or trailer size?
Start with room count, then adjust for the big items. A 10-foot truck typically handles a studio or a light one-bedroom. A 15-foot truck is about right for one to two bedrooms, a 20-foot for about two to three, and a 26-foot for about three bedrooms and up. A garage, a patio set or a second fridge can push you up a size.
The most common mistake we hear about is booking the smallest truck to save money, then making a second trip across town. Measure the couch, the dresser and the doorway before you call. If the load is mostly boxes and you already own a capable vehicle, a cargo trailer can beat a too-small truck.
Our full truck size guide compares each size, and the U-Haul size chooser gives a starting point from your room count. We confirm current specs when you call.
What happens when you pick up a rental?
Before you drive off, we walk around the truck or trailer with you. The goal is simple: you and the counter agree on the condition at the start, so nobody argues about it at the end. Inherited reviews for this lot mentioned dirty trucks and low fuel, and the walkaround exists to stop that from happening again.
During the pickup walkaround we look at:
- Fuel level: noted on the paperwork so you know what to return it with.
- Cleanliness: the cargo box and cab should be swept and empty.
- Lights: headlights, brake lights and turn signals, plus trailer lights once connected.
- Damage: existing dents and scrapes, which you should photograph on your phone.
- Tires: a quick look at tread and inflation, because tires are our day job.
You also get a chance to adjust mirrors and seats and ask how the ramp or door works before you leave the lot.
What if you are towing a trailer or a car?
Every trailer and tow dolly rental here comes with a hitch check. We look at the receiver, the ball size against the coupler, the pin and clip, the safety chain hookups and the light plug. If the lights do not work with the trailer connected, you do not leave until we know why.
Tow dolly customers also get a 60-second demo: how the ramps come down, where the front tires stop, how the straps tighten and what to recheck after the first few miles. It is short on purpose, and it prevents most of the loose-strap stories.
We also explain tongue weight, which is how hard the loaded trailer presses down on the ball. Too little and the trailer can sway. Too much and the back of your vehicle squats and steering goes light. The free towing inspection page covers what we check in detail, and the hitch and tow package page explains receiver classes and wiring.
Before towing, check your own vehicle for open recalls at NHTSA (opens in a new tab).
Why rent a U-Haul from a tire and repair shop?
Because the vehicle doing the towing matters as much as the trailer. When you pick up a trailer or dolly here, we can check the tires and brakes on your tow vehicle in the same visit. Worn rear tires or thin brake pads are easy to miss until the load is on.
If we spot something, you get it in plain words and split into need and want. A tire with cords showing is a need before a loaded drive. A rotation that is a few hundred miles overdue can wait. Nothing gets worked on without your approval, and the estimate is written before any work starts.
That one-stop visit means you are not driving to a second shop on moving day. Related help lives on our brake service page and the hitch and tow package inspection service page.
Should you book in-town or one-way?
Book in-town when the truck comes back to this lot, which covers most local moves between Upland and nearby cities. Book one-way when you are dropping the truck or trailer at a U-Haul location in another city. The two types are priced and scheduled differently, so tell us which one you need when you call.
In-town rentals
In-town works for apartment moves, garage cleanouts, a furniture pickup or a weekend project. You return to the same lot, and the return walkaround happens here. Details are on the in-town rentals page.
One-way rentals
One-way works when you are leaving the area. The drop-off location is set when the reservation is made, and you confirm it before you leave. The one-way rentals page lists what to photograph before a long drive.
How do returns work?
A clean return is the mirror of a clean pickup. Bring the rental back with the fuel at the level on your paperwork, sweep out the cargo area, and remove your blankets, tape and trash. If we are open, we walk around it with you and close out the contract.
If you need to return outside business hours, ask about the 24-hour customer return option when you pick up. Return steps can differ by rental, so confirm the instructions for your specific rental at pickup rather than guessing that night. Take time-stamped photos of the fuel gauge, the odometer, all four sides and the empty cargo area before you walk away.
Our hours are Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, Sunday closed. For Saturday, call to confirm. More on after-hours returns is on the 24-hour return page.
When should you book your rental?
Book as early as your dates are firm, and earlier still if you are moving near the end of the month. Leases in the Inland Empire tend to turn over at month-end, and weekend trucks go first. A weekday pickup is often easier to schedule than a Saturday.
In summer, plan to load early. Afternoon heat on a metal cargo floor is hard on people and on anything that melts. If you are towing, a morning start also gives your tires and brakes a cooler run on the I-10 and SR-210.
If your dates move, call the same number and we will see what can change. For more planning help, the U-Haul size guide covers packing and loading, and our U-Haul FAQs answer the questions we hear most at the counter.
