I was very frustrated when my pick up location was changed without a conversation with me. I prebooked the truck and the fact UHaul was overbooked is not my problem. UHaul should, as an organization, make the truck available to the location booked and honour the paid booking.

Really decent experience here with pick up and drop off. The central location and helpful staff made it a pleasure. However there were some minor issues: - stains on the top interior (i.e. coffee?); - the parking brake release button was a little damaged (i.e. Small square cap with "P" parking label was hanging off); - the interior smelled a lot like wet dog All in all everything had functioned fine and would rent from here again.

The problem with my booking was that I was not informed of some “Safe Move” charge which was additional $16 inspite of asking twice if there were any additional charges except the 19.95 base charge plus $1 environmental fee and the per kilometre charge. Very disheartened to have lost my hard-earned $16 as a student surviving in Canada.

Hello I have rented vans for my business many times from the above location. This time there was an untrained person who didn’t know what he was doing. Didn’t get the invoice with details, in the email as promised, when I came tin pick up the van they couldn’t figure out what’s going on. His name was Brad. All the charges he added didn’t Seem right, naturally I going to dispute cause in Gift extra gas in the van and he did not even acknowledge it. I am going to talk to the owner in the morning. Bad experience!! Iftekhar 416-871-3118

You have to remove the number of hours we select to rent the van. Even though we pay for the whole day, U-Haul charges in case you exceed the indicated number of rental hours. You shouldn't change for the first 24 hours. Similar to rental car companies.

Both of the people who assisted (pick up and drop off) were really wonderful. Great attitude, really helpful and kind. This can be a bit of a stressful situation, especially having never rented a truck before, and they made each part really smooth.

The truck had empty and partially full pop, water, and jug cans & bottles in the cab, plus some small food wrappers, from an earlier rental. The back of the truck was clean enough, but had not been swept out. I took the truck with 13/16 fuel in the tank. I returned it Full. I asked how a fuel credit would work, and was advised if it didn't show up automatically on my invoice to phone HQ. I don't see a fuel credit so will have to make that call. The should have been an acknowledgement at pick-up of the fuel level. Check-in at the convenience store location worked well when it opened, but I had the understading that I could check in remotely with my phone App. I tried to do this, but could not. I had to call the office for help. For some reason I could not sign into the App on this occasion. That said, the Agent at the store was very friendly, accomodating, and efficient. I like the swifter check-in and check-out procedures. The truck worked well.

Blankets ordered were not available there yet were allowed on the order leading to having to find last minute padding. Very bad start to big moving job. Return was painful. App refused to work. Despite KNOWING my location complained about location. No one available in phone till morning. Chat was extremely slow to respond and when they did, I could not scroll up to read all of message.. window closed and entire chat was lost without ever being read.

This location is perfect and convenient. The attendant was well trained in using the u haul system. However....I was extraordinarily disappointed after starting the truck to find the gas tank empty with a warning of 4 miles remaining. This is unacceptable and disappointing. Never have I picked up a vehicle with the warning light on and needing to search desperately for a gas station.

Always have a print out that shows the current mileage before you drive off, because I was a victim at Folkestone variety where I was given a mileage that didn't match the current mileage. I took a picture and shared it with the cashier guy but I was still billed over $100 more than I should have. I will avoid this branch for ever!!!

The only improvement I would recommend is that at least 100 - 200 miles should be given free because we rent trucks for almost everything and driving a short distance piles up.

I ended up at this U-Haul location because a different location where I made the original truck reservation forgot about my booking. Needless to say I was stressed and upset but the moment I walked into Folkstone Variety they were so pleasant and helpful. The staff were so polite and friendly and made the experience so easy for me without any hassle. The next time I'm looking for a U-HAUL I will definitely visit this location first!

The only recommendation I would suggest is to get a visible U-HAUL signage for this address as it's difficult to locate without the sign. The services and customer service were excellent, friendly, and inviting; I will definitely be using them again. Gracelyn Alexis-G

I regret not asking the name of the store clerk I interacted with at pick up and drop off, but he made the experience even easier than I've ever had when renting and returning a truck. This is a fantastic location and great vendor to work with. Will recommend and refer like crazy!

Despite being listed as 1/4 tank the truck was empty. It was also a little dirty.in the back and lost power on the highway. I did get a credit for some fuel but it was not enough, this vehicle has a large tank and that much fuel at these prices would be over $50. I mentioned this on returning the vehicle and have not yet had any additional credit or contact.
