The truck was bigger than I was comfortable driving. The rain made the truck handle poorly and it bounced so hard I got a super bad migraine. Moving is stressful and the “drives like a van, hauls like a truck” slogan is not at all true. Bounces all over the road and will shake your belongings no matter how tight you pack them with pillows. This truck leaked and my boxes got wet yet I put more gas in than I used…your welcome.

What your company can improve on is not charging people extra for false charges. It's not ok to do thing's just because you can, it's bad for business!! I will post pictures and tell everyone I know about this uhaul company in carlisle. Freedom Self Storage 3000 Gateway Dr Carlisle IA 50047

The man was very helpful however, the place was packed with political slogans and political banners. I don't think that belongs in a U-Haul facility.

Check the equipment BEFORE giving it to the customer to make sure the lights work and the tires are somewhat balanced.

Keep the company bureaucracy out of it. I had an a problem not with the local rep nit the company reps calling after my agreement with the local rep was made and telling me I couldn't have the truck for the time I needed it. You don't call me, you call the local rep and make it right. What the company wanted wasn't feasible. I was get the truck for only overnight. 200 miles, loading and unloading with my working on Friday. Tell me how that's feasible. The bureaucracy with this and the last time I dealt with the company for some simple moving boxes makes you all look like incompetent dolts. I have no problem with the local rep. The company itself is the problem.

No one was arround to except trailer on this day, however the security guard assisted with self check in process. I would not have been as dissappointed if I had not been told a trained U-Haul severcie provider would be available for disconect and check in. An untrained security guard is not a trained severice provider.

It was a difficult task to try to get access to the truck. The fact that there was no attendant weighed heavily on this. Cell hone coverage in that area is poor at best. You need someone there to dispatch the truck!

Improve the app/web browser. It skipped half the steps, never saw the pics nor the milage and gas to compare. Better service for key location and password. Had to call in to find the key, and the doors were unlocked.

The office is a ohmage to trump and he has a podcast studio in it. In my opinion he is planning another attempt to overthrow the government. Plus there was no room in the parking lot for the equipment.

When we were charged twice they immediately corrected the situation. They were accommodating for return date of the truck. Would recommend them for your moving needs.

Again, trouble with the website in trying to "return" the trailer; it wanted to rent me another one. The staff member I spoke to stated he would take care of it and he did, sending me a confirmation e-mail. In general, U-Haul staff are great, the U-Haul website needs work.

The owner is selling Trump apparel, podcasting out of the office space, working out (there is a weight bench) and selling really strange items. This was not the location I selected to pickup my vehicle from and the vehicle was not in the condition the pictures taken showed. The interior was dirty, the exterior had damage not shown when I reviewed and had to upload numerous photos of existing damage.

We had excellent service from beginning to end. They didn't have a 15 ft truck so they gave us a 20 ft truck at the same cost. They even gave us a truck with a full tank of gas. It was a great experience and made my transition go well.

Jim has always been such a pleasure to work with. We have rented several U-Haul trucks and have had storage since since February. The facility is monitored, always felt safe, is extremely clean, never seen a rodent so I believe he has his facility well maintained and pest inspected. We have not opened our storage unit since February and there was not a single issue with our belongings.

Outstanding! customer service and immaculately maintained. Jim, the owner, couldn’t have been any nicer and HONEST to the core. When I first secured a unit, the only available unit was actually larger than what my needs were, but Jim assured me that when a unit more aligned with my needs became available, he would come bract me. And, sure enough!-he did! He’s the best!

Truck box was damaged on the inside and the previous user tried to hide it, as it was not noticeable when we were loading the truck. However, when we were unloading the truck much of our belongings had water damage as it had rained during our travels.

uHaul called and told me that the 10 foot truck was not available, and said I would have to take a 15 foot (Made my reservation over three weeks before). When I got to Carlisle, they had a 10 foot. He updated everything, it was quick, Jim was awesome, and I got the right sized truck for what I needed!

A relative referred me to this facility and so glad they did. When sons helped me move in and out, they said if it were more convenient to their homes, they’d switch their storage. We loved the use of an app to enter and exit, kiosk available to purchase lock, automatic payments, and well maintained drive areas. Also appreciated the fact the storage entrances were raised slightly above ground level to prevent water from running into the units. Thank you to Jim for the great service! I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for storage.
