This location did not have the equipment that was rented to support my move!!! They only had the truck… I had also ordered Dollie’s and such! If a site doesn’t have the equipment, it shouldn’t show up on the website as having the equipment!

After picking up and getting to my location for loading, the trailer had a lock on it. I called U-Haul and no one answered so I drove the trailer back. No one there had a key. They switched out to another trailer which had not been cleaned.

This location did had the truck, but did not have any of the equipment i reserved with it (dolly, etc) I was sebt to another location to pick up the missing equipment and they had all their equipment already reserved. I was forced to buy a dolly for my move. I wad told i could return all equipment at the same location, but there was no one to receive things. Everyone was kind and trying to be helpful, but overall a poor experience.

The main area of the truck smelled like horse manure and wet dogs, almost as though someone is using the truck to haul animals to a farm or something. It smelled like crap. It was dirty. It's almost like customers just return these trucks and nobody checks them or cleans them. And the price isn't cheap for renting these things. I was told to look for the truck with the serial number shown in the app at the pickup location, but at the drop off location, I was asked to take a photo of where the truck is parked so that the next family or customer could come and know where it is. And I was REPEATEDLY contacted to confirm the drop-off date so that families who were waiting for trucks could obtain one. It's like asking customers to help you support your company's business and do your job for you. Terrible. I've never seen such a thing. Lousy service and was calling them repeatedly for weeks, asking for someone to call me back, but each time instead would just get the voicemail of a cell phone rather than a place of business. Nobody answered or returned any of my calls and I got no contact of any kind until one day before the pickup date for the reservation, even though I had left multiple voicemails for the pickup location and specifically requesting a call back. One assumes when there is a phone number available to call during business hours that somebody would answer or at least return a call but it's like nobody even worked there. Absent customer service and a BS pickup place, dirty/stinky truck. Never using U-smell again. Had it not been for the regional office or the main company number support team, I would be totally lost.

Having materials (blankets, packing paper) on location would have saved me the time and hassle of having to go to another UHAUL location to pick these items up. Informing me of this when I made the reservation would have been helpful and I suggest you change this. On a positive note, the person I dealt with was professional, easy to work with, and great overall.

Last two times I reserved a truck, I ordered pads and the last one a dolly. Both rentals, when so picked up the truck they had already run out of pads and did not have a dolly. This location and the K street location in DC. If I reserve something ahead of time, why does it matter that “ you had a rush in the morning and ran out” which was the reason at both locations. This is frustrating.

That location was actually set up for 24 seven I returned very safely and there was a lot of space available. I definitely recommend for free family and friend this location. Very convenient for return or pick up.

The key was placed in the lock box in a position that caused it to jam against the steel plate when you slide it open. I had to push it extremely hard to get it open.

- mobile check in was not available to me when I tried. - location opened up late (past 9am), which further caused delays in my move - I dropped off the truck hours early, but it still appeared as open contract 24 hours later. This took 3 different calls to resolve, each time the customer service rep becoming ruder and ruder.

Location was hard to find and get to. Price for truck was way above what it should’ve been and was charged for mileage when prior experience it was included.

Had a 6 hour drive from dc to Ohio. Come to find out the back inner wheel of driver said was completely flat the whole time. The location allowed me to pick up a truck with a bad tire that I had to wait over an hour for roadside assistance to fix (which Mark the roadside guy was great!). The location also did not have any Dollie’s beside one that I had asked for and no furniture pads in truck which I had also asked for. I want my money for those items and the tire problem compensated.

Terrible experience. Guy had no idea what he was doing. Area was all snowed in and truck was covered in snow. I don’t know if I check the truck out properly or not. Or even if I was able to return it. I was also charged double because I kept it an additional two hours but the rate is for the day.

It would be nice if we could be transferred to the actual local location rather than the calls going to a call center. The call center should be able to transfer calls to the actual location. We had questions that only the local location could answer, but never was allowed to speak to them.

It is easy for me to access. The sales guy was very nice and helpful. When I arrived I didn’t know where to enter the building bc there is no sign. That is there is no sign indicating the U-Haul sales office is here. Once inside the building, it was absolutely dindgy and smelled of body odor. I like that this location exists. It at least needs a sign outside of where to enter the building. Furthermore, when I was leaving with the trailer. And making a right onto telegraph Road, which is busy there is a sign that blocks the view of oncoming traffic. That is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
