That corner is difficult to navigate with a non-familiar larger vehicle. It's always a tight fit when pulling in/dropping off. The travel to the "off-site" lot was smooth.

The location was cluttered and disorganized; food was stored on the back shelf and if we had needed packing supplies they were not accessible! The owner was grumpy!

My appointment was 130pm. Uhaul sent me to the wrong place, where I was on time. When I got to the new location, 23 minutes late, the manager was calling my phone as I was crossing the parking lot - threatening to give away my truck. I also had reserved two furniture dolly's and you didn't have any. You suck!

Very nice people. So helpful! I had a fuse blown on my truck so the trailer lights wouldn’t work. The gentleman was so nice. He replaced the fuse so I could use the trailer safely. You just don’t find that kind of help anymore. Great place, will use again.

Despite the fact that U-Haul completely messed up my reservation, the owners of Gerald's Service completely took care of me and found me a truck, This was the second time within a month that the truck I reserved via the U-Haul app was not at the location I selected. Unacceptable.

Please do not rent from this company!!!!!! My husband had a stroke and I put this move together after my company let me go for taking care of him. They took advantage of me trying to get us moved by way overcharging me and even adding in toll charges that never occurred on my route. They will rip you off!!!

Nothing.Customers should reserve their rental beforehand; especially on weekends.The owners are very helpful to accommodate their customers. They will call around to help you find a vehicle if they’re completely booked.

JUAN J

The owners could not give a care to make anything convenient for you. I had to ask for them to make a parking space, go back inside and ask for the equipment I requested in the truck, they charged me for fuel when they gave it to me practically empty. There was melted food all over the back of the car and it was filled with sand. It smelled like urine and they were insanely slow to check in both times. They made me carry out my own supplies to my truck which were supposed to be in it upon arrival, and I had my hands full of personal items and was told to carry it. Horrible horrible experience, I only returned because I needed a second U-Haul and it was very last minute.

This is our favorite UHaul Center. Betsy and her husband are exceptional. The day after hurricane Milton, they were open and working hard to get customers like us, who had lost so much the equipment we needed. They took the time to listen to our story, ensure we had the equipment we needed. They followed up with us to ask if we needed the equipment longer. They treated each client I saw or heard them interact with the same way, no exceptions. I can not say enough good things about them.

Got the U-Haul a very stressful time when Hurricane Milton was hitting. This husband and wife were so friendly and helpful with our last minute rental. I would recommend them 100 times over wonderful people!
