I was given two different locations to drop off the truck and the transporter. I should be able to drop off all the equipment in one location.

When we picked up we were asked about how many miles we think we would use. We said maybe around 30 and she said okay well the first 10 are free! When we dropped up, we were told no one said that.

I requested a 20 Ft and it was accepted. I was not able to get the 20 Ft and they wanted to send me to Calgary to get the size I need. That is 500 km away from Creston BC. My son was to pick up in Sparwood BC as he lives there and would pick up the truck. I then got change to Cranbrook BC for pick up. Your app is actually very terrible to work with and I come from a background with IT. We must of had to fiddle with that app for a very long time to get it to work. The person on the phone was no help at all. Too bad so sad attitude. I would advise anyone using your service not to or to be ready not to get what you requested ( reserve, got a yes to, false promise of availability). Also be ready for no assistance and an nightmare of an app to work with. In another word don't use U-HAUL I have not had this poor of a service in many many years. It was behond frustrating and stressfull.

Everything went perfectly, I was upgraded to a larger truck at no cost which was actually a godsend as I had way more stuff to move than I thought. From booking the truck to the return the folks at Black Metal Storage were awesome, would definitely recommend them if you need to rent a UHaul!!

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.
