This location has a hidden policy cancelling your reservation if you do not show up within 30 minutes of scheduled pick-up time.

This location is very convenient and we’ve gotten to know the staff over the years. The yard has always been a mess due to lots of equipment and not lots of space. It is what it is and we will continue using this location.

Only possible improvment would be to confirm the pickup location earlier than the day before. Due to not getting my first choice of pickup location, I had a long travel time to get to the pickup location through Toronto rush hour traffic.

Staff was excellent in helping thru the return. The traffic in this area at this time of the day was horrific! Not U-Haul's fault just a heads up!

Properly inspect equipment between customers. Take equipment out of service if it requires maintenance or repairs. Properly document the equipment’s features.

The vehicle had less than 1/8 of a tank, I was told I'd receive a credit of 40$ to put more gas in. I put 40$ of gas in before dropping it off, including the receipt and the 40$ credit did not appear on my receipt. The dolly was not there when I asked, the desk person made no attempt to offer me anything else. Surely you should have many dolly's ready for situations like this?

The inside of the truck was sticky and gross with actual garbage in it & we started our trip with 1/4 tank of gas which was a very disheartening way to begin a full move day + incredibly hard to fill back to that level.

I have a photo of the gas tank line before and after and returned with more gas, and they still charged me $16 fuel fee, also when I rented the back of trailer was wide open, but was not able to see that due to how close all the vehicles are parked.

Sadly I had a poor experience here. I have used u haul before and it’s been great. I booked weeks in advance and then a week before my move I was told there were no trucks available. I had to find another location without them offering to help me find a replacement. The day before my reservation they asked me if I could move my rental from 730 to 1030. This wasn’t possible at such short notice as I had other things scheduled and booked for my move that depended on me having the truck at that time. When I let them know this, they said well we don’t have the dolly’s you requested, “it’s first come first serve”. They gave me two utility Dollie’s which are not the same. When I arrived on the day of reservation I received no instructions on how to check out the truck and no one was answering any of the lines I called for u haul. Luckily, someone came onto the lot (a non worker) at 8am and let me know about online check in. Once I found my truck it was blocked in by two trailer beds and another 10 ft truck. I got through to someone on the phone (now an hour past my reservation time) and he had to call in two guys to come move the equipment and trucks. I left the lot at 9am which affected the rest of the moving day as you can imagine. When I returned the truck and explained this to the admin staff, he said “yes that’s why I asked if you could come at 1030am instead”. However I told him at the time this wasn’t possible and then he confirmed 730. Doesn’t really make sense. Really not satisfied with the service

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. A washroom would be helpful, even a porta potty. The trucks need some cleaning.

Next time, state that the equipment such as the dollies and straps are first come first served. We booked these online and showed up, only for the location to say everything is gone (20 mins after opening). Apparently everyone already had the items out from the night before. We ended up having to buy a dolly which delayed our move.

We had to go to Canadian Tire to get a lock. Very easy, but maybe a missed opportunity if it's do-able for U-Haul to have onsite for purchase.

I had two main issues. The first was the dirt in the vehicle that left from the previous renter. There was no acknowledgement of the lack of cleanliness or offer for compensation. But I noticed you were quick to charge me $50 in extra fuel including a surcharge for a return the vehicle with apparently lower gas than picked up. Even though it is an aging, manual gauge which is clearly hard to read exactly.

Unfortunately something went wrong with my mobile pick-up (before store hours) so I had to wait to finish some paperwork before getting the truck. I also didn't like the fact that I was given a truck with 3/4 of a tank instead of a full, so when filling it up I spent more money on gas. Other than that, everything else ran smoothly.

I reserved a 5x9 open trailer which suited my needs for my pickup. The 3 units available all had broken wire harness and could not be used as I would have had no lights on the trailer. The only option available was a 6x13. I asked if I could use that instead because of the broken harness I was told yes. When I got my invoice I was charged for the 6x12. I realize it’s only $10 difference but it’s not what I ordered and the repair condition of the trailers is not my responsibility. I’ll use other UHaul locations in the future.

My truck was low on gas, smelt like cigarettes and the parking brake light was flashing the whole drive basically just beeping. Was only offered a $10 discount.. terrible experience for a customer that gets trucks all the time

The inside of the truck had not been swept. Wasn’t a problem but I always clean the truck out when I return it and want to pick it up in the same condition
