Fluid worked well for me. KingB currently shows zero vehicles in the Denver Metro.
The app seems non-functional. It won’t accept my location, but moves me to California it across town, depending on how I put it in.
There are no vehicles of any kind available in the region according to the app.

Doesn’t work
I tried this app many times and for whatever reason I can’t get past the maps. It lets me choose a van then says server error and goes white. Every time.
They’re the blue lives matter type
They hand all your info over to the police. No probable cause or warrant needed. They believe whatever the police say and violate any privacy you thought you had.
Was good now they are over priced
In the beginning it was $15/hr now they only offer daily rates for $150 it was already difficult to find available vans now it will be impossible.

We always have a great experience
Deceptive Practices at Fluid Trucks - A Cautionary Tale
If you’re considering using Fluid Trucks for your rental needs, think again. My recent experience with this company has been nothing short of a nightmare, highlighting their dishonest business practices and complete disregard for customer satisfaction. I booked a truck well in advance, securing a rate of approximately $1,167. All seemed well until the company canceled my reservation. A customer service representative named Gonzalo assured me via email that they would have more vans available at the beginning of August and promised that my replacement vehicle would be at the same standard rate. However, August arrived, and I heard nothing from them until several days into the month. When they finally did reach out, the vans they offered were nearly double the original cost. This bait-and-switch tactic left me outraged. When I contacted customer service to ask why they had reneged on their promise, I was met with a dismissive response, claiming there was nothing they could do and citing "peak pricing" as the justification. This blatant disregard for their commitments and the subsequent price gouging is the most frustrating and dishonest thing I’ve encountered from a company. Fluid Trucks not only failed to deliver on their promise but also displayed a shocking lack of accountability and transparency. In conclusion, beware of Fluid Trucks. Their dishonest practices and poor customer service make them an unreliable choice. Save yourself the frustration and find a more trustworthy company for your rental needs.
UPDATE: Fluid has since reached out to me and rectified the situation. Thanks

Hi Jasper, this doesn't seem right. If you feel you have been mistakenly overcharged, please reach out to us at help@fluidtruck.com. Thank you!
Will Never Use Again
Falsely accused of damage. Showed proof of damage and communicated at time of pick up.
Received a claim, disputed. They sent an email telling me I was correct, no further action.
4 months later billed me for damages.
Business must be down, scamming for payments.

$150 for them to sweep out the cargo area.
I returned a fluid truck with a small amount of mud in the back. Definitely a 5-10 job to clean it. They charged me $150 to clean it. Insane.
Don’t waste you time using Fluid truck
I run a flower business and do a lot of wedding and thought using fluid would be a good deal. Until it wasn’t. I picked up a truck and came back to pick up the flower arrangements. Loaded the truck and then the truck wouldn’t start. On the phone for 30 minutes and no solution but they could send someone out to look but that could be a few hours. I literally have a whole wedding in the back of the truck and I’m now running late. Finally we are able to get the truck started and we head out to the wedding. Stop and unload in front of the venue and guess what, truck doesn’t start again. Had to leave it where it was and ended up getting a ticket. Used a friends truck for the day to get other wedding necessities during the day. Finally got the truck started and moved. But shocker, come the end of the wedding the truck wouldn’t start again! They have no sympathy and refused to refund anything even though I had to compensate the wedding client and pay a parking ticket on top of gas for two trucks. They gave me a credit to use at a later date but anytime I try to rent again there’s nothing available. I’m assuming Amazon has them all rented. They also billed me for a toll even though I paid via a toll pass and have the receipt. The credit is useless and they won’t refund me instead. I’ll never use them again. Shady company and impossible to get any good customer service. Stick to Uhaul or Penske. It’s not worth the headache.

Always rented out by fed ex
Impossible to rent them. Fed ex keeps them all, at every location. The one time I found one available, the key was not in it. The fed ex drivers keep the keys. Had to go through a lengthy process to get refunded. Waste of time.
App good - company not
Denied use for some reason. No one will tell me why. Guessing it’s because my drivers license address and mailing address are different but they won’t give me a chance to fix it or anything. Kind of shady. Take all my info (copy of bank statement, DL, insurance, etc) then deny. I’m sure they will keep all my data now.

Love this service
It gets easier every time. This is our second time using.
Great Ride, Super Spacious!
I really enjoyed my first experience with Fluid Truck! Navigating everything through the app was really easy. All my questions were answered promptly by a team member through the chat function, which I really appreciated.
The cargo van drives, incredibly smooth, great rear camera and mirrors for navigating the road. I Will definitely use their service again!

Poor Customer Satisfaction
Fluid has left us feeling deeply disappointed and frustrated on multiple occasions. Unlike most rental services, they showed no flexibility or understanding for a simple booking error or minor drop off inspection policy misunderstandings. They refused to adjust the return time, forcing us into a situation where we had to pay double the amount for the final day.
Despite any technological strengths, their failure to foster trust and accommodate basic customer needs overshadows any positive aspects of their service.

Airbnb for vans
The first time I tried using fluid truck the van was nowhere to be found and I couldn’t contact the seller. Fluid truck also had no idea what to do about the situation. At least I did get a refund but it was a waste of time.
The second time was completely different, straightforward easy the van was in an obvious spot, and in good condition.
So this is a bit like Airbnb – it’s driven by whether or not the owner is smart and conscientious.
If I had read the reviews on the first one, I would’ve seen a review, or someone else had a similar experience - so read the reviews for a location before renting!

Mercedes Van
This Sprinter van was perfect for my needs. It was brand new, drove great, and was large enough to have extra room for my things! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a van. Please take good care of it if you rent it, the owner made sure it is just as advertised.
Whole rental process was super simple too, I will definitely be using this again.

Great experience
Loved the ease of use & convenience. Perfect for my larger catering's. I've used Fluid numerous times & it's been a god send. Super convenient.
Trash company
They cancelled my reservation in the middle of an order when I wasn’t prior notified and left me stranded unless I made a new one. A fluid employee Ethan Applebee came to my house very suspiciously and never mentioned anything about the van being turned off. I spent thousands of dollars yet they wouldn’t even allow me to get home. Don’t rent from this company they will scam you every time. Now they even doubled their rental Prices. What a joke. Penske or Ryder are your better options. Even Enterprise has the best option. And no I wasn’t mistaken this person actually came to my house I have 3 witness to the fact. Even accessed the vehicle from his phone. I’m guessing he wasn’t expecting me to be home. Thanks for nothing fluid truck. I guess those Amazon contracts are more important than actual working class people.

Lack of flexibility in reservation extension
Beware: Fluid Truck will absolutely charge you more than the daily rate if you choose to extend your rental. I originally booked for a couple of hours, then extended an hour because I was worried about being late on the return. I was charged for 3 hours. No problem, right? Well, it turned out I needed to keep the truck overnight, so I extended again to return it in the morning, and instead of just charging me the rest of the balance needed to get to the daily rate, they charged me a full days rate on top of what I’d already paid, even though it was the same reservation. So for a 12 hour reservation and insurance, I paid over $180. The same reservation at U-Haul would have been less than $50 even with mileage, and they have similar self service after hours rentals now. I won’t be renting from Fluid Truck again.
