The location Barrio Muffler and Shop charged me for a third day when I had truck for only two days. Had to contest it with u-haul.com, wait three business days. Then they were suppose to credit my account $11.65, which they did, but then charged my account $11.65 again, so I never received my money back!! Shady business practices here!! Go somewhere else!!!

The fuel was at empty when we picked it up. We were barely able to make it to the gas station. When we reached our destination they said it had 3/4 of a tank of gas when we picked it up. That was not accurate. The only thing I can think was Barrio Mufflers siphoned the fuel out of the truck. Very shady place!

There was a very large puddle of dog urine in the back of truck. It was so bad I could smell it in the cab. Had to throw a tarp over bottom of bed so as not to get piss on things. There was no gas in the truck. I was worried I wasn’t going to make it to the gas station.

I was called last minute to be told I they had to change my reservation to two days in advance which I wasn’t available for. Then the location they sent me to pick up the truck near me that was confirmed to have my truck, didn’t have my truck size. I had to drive 30 miles which in Los Angeles is very far, an hour away each way, to pick up another truck. Which cost an absorbent amount of miles and gas. That I had to pay for on my end. This was an error on U-Haul‘s behalf and I had paid for it. Not to mention it being 115° That day. By changing the pick up day they also change my drop off location to a place that I could not do mobile drop off on the day intended. Causing an additional serious inconvenience of me having to call off of work to return the truck.

Let me receive a freely, will definitely use uhaul again. Very easy process, Guys on commercial av really friendly, helpful, They deserve a bonus, my situation was stressful They made the moving experience almost delightful.

Very accommodating! When I called the customer service desk the night before asking to change my drop off location, which was not the one I chose and which was 45+ minutes away that would make me take a $50 day Uber back home, this representative was very helpful when I called his store the next day. I might add that your immediate email option for help with this matter was a joke - I still haven’t heard back and it’s been 24 hours. And I was not happy being stuck with a uhaul that frequently displayed a Tire Service Monitor light that made my trip very stressful thinking that a blowout could happen at any minute - record if this problem was reported.

I was WAY over charged for this uhaul. I have used uhaul in the past and was always charged around ~$50 and was charged $130 this time. I am very upset and will probably not uhaul again.

This was my original drop off location..somehow it was changed but I was not fully informed, so I dropped it off on commercial.. Niobe was there but I left it before time, with same 1/2 tank and put the keys in the key Dropbox. Luckily I called to discuss this as U-Haul had to change the location back All worked out well and I was not charged extra

There was no explanation of the return process when I rented it. Also a sketchy part of town so I didn’t feel safe trying to the online return taking pics of the vehicle and everything with crackheads walking around a screaming bloody murder.

Better customer service. Extremely rude and shady. Tried charging me for fuel when I already put fuel. I even. Explained it to the worker. He parked the uhaul on angle to slope it to try to. Make it look like it needs fuel. Then he said ok. When I told him I put fuel. Then disappeared and now charged me for fuel. Shady rip off. Go elsewhere

They simply received my key. It seems like they did a good job, but, for a moment, I didn't understand what was going on. They seemed busy with other customers, but they should at least say that a receipt will be sent to one's email address when one leaves the car.

The online/phone app is quite literally *useless* for picking up and returning a truck. The online instructions told me to click on a button that *did not exist* on the site/app. Spent too much time trying to navigate the site/app. And after I returned the truck and the keys **in the drop box** I was called by a Uhaul representative for not returning the truck. The representative then told me she would call me back to confirm that everything was okay once she checked with the shop where the truck was returned - SHE NEVER CALLED BACK. I will now have to waste my time to check to make sure I will not get overcharged. This whole experience was a pain in the ass - something I do not want to deal with when I have the stress of moving my entire house and family. I will not use UHaul again after this.

On this rental, the packing blankets provided to me were dirty, moist, and moldy. I was called during the move about changing my drop-off location and I told the gentlemen about the blankets. He apologized, changed my location, and I received a receipt for no balance due. Well, a few days ago I received a note that I owed $25 for cleaning fees. Since this was a very small move with a few boxes, I knew the cleaning was the blankets so I called/wrote about the dirty blankets and asked them to remove the charge. I never heard anything back and today I received a note stating $55 was charged to my credit card - $25 for the cleaning and $30 for late payment. I am very disappointed with UHaul and I hope you can fix this soonest.

If you ever rent out movers to help out don't even count that they'll show up. I waited for them to show and I called customer support to find out where my movers would be and I was left on hold for 30 mins before I hung up and moved everything myself.

More details as to mileage need to be more clear on line. It is pretty unrealistic to figure the exact mileage between the pick up location and the drop off location. I was charged for extra mileage which surprised me. We drove directly to our location, but then had to refill the gas tank and the drop off location was miles away from our location. Really unrealistic and pretty unfair.

why did I get charged for gas after I already filled it up to the section where I was supposed to fill it to? I am not happy about it and want a refund for that. I don't like that unnecessary costs are being charged without my knowldedge.

I waited more than 20 minutes because they didn't have the keys to open the box where they deposit the keys, they had to break the box to get the key to the van and it wasn't ready yet. an experience never had before, the people who worked on the spot were without masks and they didn't really care about a very bad experience, and despite everything they charged me even more than was expected in the receipt.

I recently tried to rent a U-Haul like I’ve done many times before and was denied. Went to four different locations only to learn that months prior a U-Haul representative entered the wrong license number on a contract that did not belong to me. That contracts was in default and I was being denied rental. This mistake on U-Haul’s end cost me several hours on the phone and pretty much a waste a day right before My move. Very inconvenient. You U haul provided nothing to me for my troubles.

Bogus as all hell! Dirty as hell then they charged me $25 for a “cleaning fee” only after I left the place. Received the email 15 minutes after driving away that they are charging $25 cleaning fee. That truck was clean as can be. 100% spotless. There is no need to charge $25. I called to ask about it and they hung up on me and wouldn’t answer the phone when I called back. I called literally 20 times and they refused to pick up. Then I blocked my number and called and they picked up and put me on hold never to return to the phone call. Are you freaking kidding me? I will use hertz enterprise or ANY other rental place before uhaul because of these jokers at Barrio mufflers and automotive. You need to check these guys 👎👎 2 thumbs waaaay down

Got completely screwed by this location. Will never be using this service again. Charged for gas even when I put more gas into it then when I received it and was charged a random cleaning fee. Absolute criminal way of running it. Requested clarification on the charges and heard nothing back so I will be requesting a charge back through my bank.

Personnel had us unload the car without their help. Just asked for the keys and then basically ignored us. There was little to no space to park or unload the trailer. Luckily we are capable individuals, however I would definitely NOT recommend this location.

Even though then truck was clean, they open 30 minutes late, then I was charged $47 dollars that is great, then another $12, for what, the gas was full, I did not need the dolly, and that was only $7, before I left they shop I keep asking the guy to tell me the price, and this is why, I don't like fast talker, and I really don't like having my bank card on file, with company, I don't deal with a lot, my number (619)773-3367 , email: eugenedarden00@gmail.com

The equipment was below par but I use uuu guys a lot and never had any issues. The guy renting me the truck never verified the gas. I didn’t think of taking pictures because like I said I have never had issues and I’ve used guys for years. The gas was right, so I don’t get why they are charging me so much. Also, I didn’t have the car for 1 day and 22 hours. I was actually there yesterday but it was closed. I locked my phone in the car and had you guys call someone to come help me. I was there since 9am and left roughly around 12 pm. So I couldn’t have dropped it off today at 10:45 am I’m getting cheated, robbed and the people working there not you guys, are competing fraud on my name.

Other than the fact that my reservation was changed, including going from a reserved 15' truck to given 10' too small truck which required another vehicle to move, changing the pick up location and the drop off location, I guess everything was OK.

The U-haul mobile check in was absolutely horrible. The sign up took 15+ minutes and asked every single question possible. Then the day of, it took 30+ minutes for them to “confirm” your identity through not one, but two other people. This wouldn’t be an issue if I knew they were going to do this with the 20 minute sign up process. The location was great, but I will think twice before I use u-haul again.

U-Haul charged me over $27 for gas because someone stated that the tank was down to 1/8. That's impossible as I filled about 7 gallons of fuel right before dropping off. And I had 35 miles (that's at least 3.5 gal.) left as I arrived at the gas station. Gas station to drop off is less than 1000 feet and I can send you the bank statement. I am pissed!
