Truck Gvw assuming in lbs. because it didn’t specify I was denied a way shorter route. It added 3 hrs driving. And all that extra fuel.

Still not happy with UHaul as they had me dropping off my trailer in another province which would have had me travelling 8 hours return to return the trailer. I had to phone to convince them that that was crazy. Your system sucks.

I reserved a 5'x8' cargo trailer from U-Haul online months in advance. 24H before pickup, I got an email saying I'd be getting a 6'x12' cargo trailer at a different, much further than reservation. I know U-Haul disclaimer covers this but, it would be much better for them to contact the customer with options instead of making the decision for the customer. Anyhow, I contacted Black Metal Storage the day of pickup and had what I needed on short notice, they are great.

Rented a 6x12 trailer a couple weeks before. Was informed the day before that they could only offer a 5x8 unless I could drive to a location 3 hours away. Not happy that I was only given 11 hours notice that the size trailer I needed was not available

No jacks on your trailers little heavy for one person to lift onto the hitch. Lifting device at your site might be nice

This is the best UHAUL dealer I've ever dealt with! Sometimes has some issues with uhauls computer system, but you can't fault them for that. Great place for storage too - very safe.

Location was great, staff were incredible and good with communication. U-Haul processing software left us in a bit of a lurch for ~15-20 minutes until our rental was able to be processed, which was annoying, but nothing Black Metal Storage could have done differently.

I wanted to rent a uhaul from Cranbrook to Nelson. First day there were no rentals available, then I get one, but the one I reserved is not available, so I get an upgrade, which 8s great, I say I want to go to Nelson, they say there isn't a depot in Nelson and th closes they can get me is Trail. I am going to Kaslo.. so, with no choice a o take it. I drive to Kaslo and backnto Trail and the nice lady at Trail tells me they now have. Anew depot in Nelson. I was charged extra because of this.

The U Haul Employees were very kind and helpful. However, it would have been extremely helpful for them to inform us that a UHaul Vehicle is considered a 'commercial' vehicle and as such is not permitted to drive through National Parks. We got denied entry at Jasper and had to turn around and take another route, which added 2 1/2 hours to an already 11 hour trip. Also, the policy that a rented vehicle cannot be guaranteed until 3 days prior to the move makes it difficult when you are purchasing an airline ticket to fit in with the move.

I came a few minutes after closing and was close to tears as my previous mode of transport had been cancelled on me last minute. The person running this location was calm, so incredibly helpful and had me laughing by the time I left. I cannot express how much I needed a good human in this moment. He went far beyond his role and completely turned my day around. I typically don't leave reviews, but I want the world to know what an amazing human they have working here! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Rocky was amazing both times we went in. When I booked the appointment to rent a cargo van for the food bank, I expressed I'd need 8+ drivers listed, and was explicitly told they needed to be present to be added. We had a bunch of us show up, and Rocky wasn't prepped about our arrival, the machines were of course not working properly, and he needed to call support and get our drivers added. Rocky was an absolute champ. He was kind, patient and understanding. He made a potentially frustrating experience light hearted. Give him a raise!!

I had reserved a car hauler for a location 8 miles from my home with 3 weeks leeway.Was told that hauler may not be available to my preferred location .I was in a bind as I had planned to leave on a certain date and taking car to Ariz.The bailer was located 3 hours away from my preferred location.So it was actually 6 hours of travel time on my dime ( gas included ) Trailer could've been delivered to my preferred location..I will be better prepared next time.. This was a rush alternative and had to accept....

The staff were friendly, but I would suggest not advertising the U-Haul rentals as reservations as they are simply rentals dependent on availability. There are no concerns with the location, the issues lie with u-haul and the mixed messaging around what a reservation actually is

The drop off location I wanted was not available as per previous booking so had to drive 2 hrs away to drop trailer. This was a un-man location which I did not prefer since no one was there to ensure the trailer was not damaged or that I had a question.
