Credit for gas? What's up with you people? You're great, that's what. Uhaul is a leader in customer service! (spoken from a picky and discerning customer).

They lied to us they did not mention or sent us email saying or even when picking up truck never mentioned 70 mile limit. Then charge us extra 18 for that when we were not informed..

Gilman Street Rentals is simply the best in the East Bay. I can rely on them to have the vehicles I need, even on short term notice. This time it was Travis who checked me in....lickety split! Thanks, Travis!

Twice in a week the vehicle I picked up had a gas level so low that I immediately had to go to a gas station and fill it. The first time, I didn't get to the gas station and had to ask a stranger to help me push a 9ft van.

When I arrived, my 15' rental was not available because it had not been returned by the prior customer. I spoke with the location contact who said there was nothing he could do and to call customer support. I contacted customer support who told me a 15' truck was available at another location, but that didn't fit my project schedule, so I accepted a 10' truck instead. It took about 10-minutes to get a customer support agent on the phone. My project was completed, though more slowly than I'd hoped. A $50 credit was provided, but I was frustrated by my experience. While U-Haul did what they could, it was a frustrating experience. As a suggestion, a phone call explaining what happened or the ability for location agents to make changes would have been helpful.

I experienced a few issues with this location, and I won't be going back. While the staff was friendly, the equipment was in poor shape. The rental truck had a "check engine" light on (critical flaw), the driver side door wouldn't close all the way, and the passenger cabin was filthy and gross. These are safety risks. I decided to return the truck without using it much. I traveled no more than 10 miles total, but was charged for 40 miles. Either: they misread the initial odometer when I picked it up, or, they deliberately altered the miles in the computer, or the truck is broken, making it look like more miles were used. I'm not sure the answer, but I won't be returning. Please correct these problems. Thank you.

It was pretty easy to get the truck and not too bad toreturn it. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that I was charged for gas even though I filled it to where it was when I picked it up. I will better document that if I use one again.

Vehicle had no gas in the tank. The cap on the gas tank was missing (safety issue). The check engine light was on. I would expect better maintenance of the vehicle. The agent at the pickup location was very helpful and friendly.

The truck’s passenger-side door seal was compromised, making the long (650 mile) journey loud and a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, the truck was in good condition.

The size i rented wasn't returned and ready when my rental started, and the guy working there rapidly upgraded me to the next size up b/c i was on a time constraint. he also lent me a lock. He was amazing.

Without a rival in the East Bay, Gilman Street Rentals offers the best service time and time again. This time, I arrived one hour before my reservation...and before the van reserved for me was returned to the lot. But that didn't stop Travis from making a phone call and resolving the situation. I was in my rental within minutes...amazing! Thank you, Travis.

Great Customer service by Travis he went up and beyond and I only came in there just for a quote and some ideas and I end up getting a U-Haul later that afternoon and was able to return it. Everything was smooth, easy quick and fast whenever I need a truck. I will definitely be coming to this location!!

Great experience renting a van from U-Haul yesterday. My car had an issue and I was scheduled to pick up some boxes in Concord in just a few hours. I was able to rent a van immediately online and the pick-up was quick and easy. The man running the office was extremely kind and helpful during both check-in and check-out. All together it was a good experience that gave me a quick save when I really needed large vehicle for just a few hours.

Check in/picking up truck was easy. Gentleman behind the counter was helpful and got me in and out. Bringing the truck back was just as easy. Not too crowded, didn't have to wait in line, and they had the truck that I made a reservation for. They seem to have a lot of trucks so I would definitely rent from this location again.
