Check in was horrific and took half an hour. We’ve rented before and after the photo and driver’s license it was insane to have to call friends before I could obtain key Luckily my next rental is at a location that’s open

Overall, I had an “OK” experience, I really didn’t appreciate the hoops required to jump through to pick up a vehicle remotely… My credit card information was already on file, every single one that I took were rejected at first, I had to take a front and back photo of my drivers license, then i was asked to surrender one of four additional items: a contact that’s either friend or family, OF WHOM YOU CALL? if those contacts don’t pick up and I have to provide more contacts and so on and so forth. A copy of my rental lease agreement which no one carries on their person, a passport, which I do not have, and I don’t assume people bring with them when they go moving and one other item that I can’t remember at this time. It’s not the most user friendly system. And whatever happened to being able to pick up a U-Haul from whatever location and drop it off at whatever location? Why did I have to rent a van and put over 300 miles on it instead of just going to San Diego renting a van and driving it up here with my stuff? I don’t know when that policy changed, but you need to bring that back because this “vehicle needs to be returned from whatever location it is picked up from“ garbage needs to stop. I will not be using U-Haul in the future.

Some of the instructions were not accurate. During the check in process I was asked for my passport which then somehow was bypassed and I was able to complete the check-in process. The key location was mentioned on the rear side of the truck but it was in a lockbox at the store door.

We were very satisfied with the service we received from beginning to end. We appreciate the text messages. We were running late, family emergency, and received a phone call from a staff person asking if we were still interested in the rental. We will keep this venue in mind for future rentals.

Owners were very helpful and friendly. They had the truck I needed even though last minute. Vehicle was very clean and in great working order. Will certainly rent from them again.

U haul could explain the check in process a bit more in the email, perhaps a few short succinct images instead of a blob of text

I wasn’t able to get the key return process working with my phone when I returned my key after hours—after this location so generously accommodated my urgent needs. Probably user error! Hopefully I don’t get charged extra, but the customer service was supreme!, so I don’t expect any issues.

The staff should remind customers to fill out the online docs with pictures before they leave. I left after they hooked the trailer up to my truck and didn't see the pre trip documents till I returned the trailer.

I rented an in town pick up in Santa Paula but when I got there, they did not have the rental available. I was not notified until I arrived. When they found another available truck of the same size I rented it was an in town rental in Camarillo. Camarillo is 20 miles away and after I picked up the rental I had to return it there. This increased my cost in both miles and gas for both the rental and my personal vehicle. It was a very frustrating expensive, and stressful experience.

First, I drove around the block 3 times because there are no Uhaul signs. My 20 ft truck was dirty..mostly the windows to indicate that it had not been cleaned. THEN, I get home and start loading the truck and realize that the Air Conditioner was not only NOT working, it was consitently blowing warm air and my trip had me driving in 90-100 degree weather. Incredible because I was not stuck...the ONLY option I had was to call Roadside Assistance and just could not get through. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. Then, I needed to rent a trailer and was told the only trailer available in my location was 30 minutes away. That was Not true because we went on line and reserved one 10 minutes from my home. I am completely annoyed as I had to drive 10 hours in hot weather with the windows down so that we would not roast. I would like a response from someone about this.

I was disappointed the size trailer I reserved was not available anymore and I had to go to a size smaller. I wasn’t able to fit all of my items for moving and now I have to rent another trailer and do the 3.5 hour drive again. I don’t understand how a reserved trailer is no longer available two days before pick up. I now have to pay for the gas and rent another trailer to finish my move. Very disappointed in that.

Location is nice. Staff was friendly… perhaps in the future the could not question a person if the equipment will be returned on time because “it has to be out of state on Friday”. I felt like I was not taken seriously.

This location didn’t check in the truck. They just took the keys and said thanks. I asked if he was going to inspect the truck and he said no that he would take my word for it. I was a bit uncomfortable as there was a dolly and blankets in the back. So I took pictures and a video of me dropping it off so I had proof that everything was there.
