No one was to be there when we picked up the truck but Denise was extremely helpful through texts to make sure we knew which truck was ours.

Can’t say anything about the place other than it was there. They were closed when we did the drop off. I felt lucky there was just enough space to leave the trailer. All good but whether that was luck or planning I’ve no idea. Worked out great though so zero complaints!!

The pins in the back of the trailer to hold up the tail gate were hard to open as one was bent

This comment is not specific to pickup location. I got a pickup around 50 miles away from my desired pickup point. Though my overall km was increased due to longer pickup, it is still not covered as enough and I ended up in paying extra price. Also due to poor mileage, I paid more for Gas as well. On top of it, it also disturbed my plans on the day

In the Acton location: #1. No signs anywhere indicating that there even was a Uhaul store closeby. The GPS said it was there, but we couldn't find it. We had to ask people where it was located. The only indication of it's where-abouts was when we were told about the little drop-off key box in the dark on the opposite side of the building. The only sign was on the little 6x10 inch box in the dark. No lighting or clear signage.

This location only handed me the keys and said goodbye. There was no circle check to see any damage, and they did not tell me about the number of kilometres I get with a day rental, and if there are any additional charges that I will incur if I go over the daily limit.

I picked up the truck with 367 miles of fuel left and returned the truck with exactly 367 miles left in the tank but somehow I was charged for 10L of fuel in my receipt.

This U-HAUL rental was the worst experience I have ever had. I already called in my experience and I am still waiting for my discount/revised invoice regarding the per mileage discount I was given. The discount on mileage is $0.59/km. No one has contacted me regarding my revised invoice. I have contacted U-Haul 4 times, and called several times more but had to hang up due to the wait time. I need someone to revise my invoice as soon as possible. Thank you, Myrelle

My original equipment was not ready at another location. Called customer service and found another truck at new location. I returned the truck with same amount of gas I found it but somehow was charged for 10 litres of gas. That is not possible as I did 38 miles added $25.

-this location was so far out I couldn't get a cell signal out -the van shut off on me 6 times (i didn't refill it b/c I thought it would shut off on me) -i reserved in Brampton, not this location -I got a txt saying someone would call (no one ever did) -the person on the phone said they talked to me (listen next time I tell you I didn't) - THE WHOLE RENTAL WAS A DISASTER -I was inconvenienced having to go in the BUSH to pick up a van I reserved A MONTH IN ADVANCE... - THE VAN WAS NOT MAINTAINED (again, it shut off on me 6 times). DO BETTER!!!!

Original drop off location in the contract is no longer accepting returns. That would have been good to know and the extra drive to the new location cost me money in km and gas.

Probably would be good to warn your customer in advance that the truck they're getting is 5 feet smaller than the one they needed. I now need to drive the rest of my stuff back and forth from Georgetown to Kitchener because I couldn't fit everything in the one trip. I was also told since I was picking the truck up in Acton, even though I requested Georgetown, that I would be given extra KM and I wasn't and ended up having to pay for going over. The man who checked me in today in Acton has no idea I was coming - I was supposed to be using truck share but I guess because I was getting the 10' truck instead of the 15' truck I couldn't - he also didn't even realise the truck he gave me was 10' and told me it was 15' "My wife usually handles all this stuff but she's not here yet" Overall fairly disappointed considering the price I paid and now I have to spend more money making multiple trips in my own vehicle to finish my move.

Booked appliance mover, 2 furniture dolly, and 12 blankets. none were on truck and I was informed it was ready. What was good is I received a text so I was in communication with someone. a person came and gave me the items but I only received 6 blankets and one furniture dolly. I was surprised to have to go to Acton for the truck since I thought I booked near my house at the brampton location.

arrived at the site to find a sign that says on vacation until Aug 18th, This reduced confidence that the trailer would remain in the condition that I left it in , which was it was received in Ottawa.

What you are missing here is a way to rate the Uhaul corporate experience of actually getting the inventory that has been requested. Dealing with Uhaul corporate for booking and coordination of inventory is painful at the best of times, but we just had one of the worst Uhaul experiences ever. It included - making a reservation for a trailer that was listed as available on the website, months in advance - being told 2 days before trailer pickup that the size we reserved was not available in Canada at all and that we were assigned a smaller one - we were then told the smaller one was not available and the only options were a trailer that was so big it would exceed the weight limit of our vehicle OR a trailer that was too small to fit our stuff in - I had to take on the proactivity of finding all this out and had to hand-hold or badger Uhaul corporate staff for us to get a product that would even reasonably work. The fact that Uhaul, a company who's entire purpose is to manage an inventory of trucks and trailers, is unable to know where or when its inventory will be available until 2 days prior to the requested move date, is unacceptable. Period. Get your act together. Uhaul, through the ineptitude of it's corporate staff and inability to manage it's inventory, almost jeopardized this cross-country move wherein we transported our whole life thousands of kilometres away. If it wasn't for my actions and an unnecessary amount of stress and panic on my end, we would have been stuck with all our stuff packed in boxes with no home and no ability to leave. This is frankly unbelievable, egregious, and completely unacceptable. To be clear, the staff at both the pickup and dropoff locations were great and helpful. Granted, all the painful work had been done at that point. In short, I came away with the impression that 1) Uhaul is so poorly run that I am amazed the company is still able to operate as a viable business, 2) the corporate staff is incompetent, apathetic, and generally unhelpful, and 3) we will absolutely look for alternative options for our next move. I will absolutely be spreading the word that Uhaul is woefully unorganized and a surefire way to add stress, difficulty, and anxiety to any move. Niel MacIntyre

I returned the truck Sunday afternoon and there was an employee just arriving who took the key. The blankets were in the back of the truck, all 12 of them. The fuel tank was topped up to 1/2 per my contract.

Owner was not on property to facilitate trailer rental. Only communicated with us via text. Was not supportive or helpful. At one point he accused us of theft because they had problems authorizing our rental and would not change our tow vehicle in the system. Furthermore, having our rental switched from Milton to Action was highly inconvenient as had to drive 30 minutes in the wrong direction to pick/drop off our trailer. Disappointing experience and will not rent again from Acton Motors.

This location was completely unorganized and didn't do their job to have the trailer at the location. We were told to pick it up at the previous renter's house!! Denise was completely unhelpful, unprofessional and useless.. We would never recommend that location again.

My reservation was put together in a timely and professional manner. This is particularly notable because it was put together on a stat holiday (Victoria Day). Equipment was clean, and well prepared. The staff was very courteous, professional and pleasant. I would highly recommend this location for future use.
