Jose MEverything was great, Travis greeted me in the parking lot and he was very professional and polite 👌
ALAN BAll good!
Juan Cvery organized and seamless process
GRACE DI feel that Uhaul has a bait and switch mentality just to make a sale. I had placed my order online for the Concord CA location, the order was confirmed and then was told that Uhaul may change the location of pick up. If there were no vehicles at that location at the time of my order, it should have been stated. I made non-refundable overnight accomodations in the Concord area and had I known I needed to go to Berkeley, on a week day with commute traffic, I would have booked my stay IN Berkeley instead. This caused HUGE logistical problems on my end. This organization is large enough to state - there are no vehicles at this location for this date - period.
Liz DThere are other locations in my area, but I always rent from here as I know that the guy at the front desk will get me in and out quickly and everything will be in order.
Philip TNothing...The guy at the Berkeley 6th Street store goes above and beyond... Great service... Can't say enough good things about the man who works there...
Alan OCredit 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).
Bruce Afriendly service
Paige GFriendly, helpful staff!
Wesley SThey were friendly and super awesome! Plus they got me in and out FAST! Definitely the best U-Haul location in the area!
Michelle RThey 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..
Juan rTravis went out of his way to help me out with an issue I had. Great people & business!
Melanie CBest place to get a van ever. Super chill experience.
SUZANNE HAll good!!
Juan CAlways excellent, knowledgeable service. Always processed quickly. Travis is very professional. Always a pleasure working with him.
JOSEPH AGilman 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!
R TTwice 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.
Sam MWhen 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.
Dan LNothing. I've came to this location 3 weeks in a row and all 3 experiences have been top notch. No waiting and great customer service.
James BAll very good specially the associated
Juan CStaff member always friendly and helpful
Marcus VNothing to improve; representative was efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable!
Jon SN/A
Christopher FGreat Job Uhall!
kelly hThe facility was faultless. The neighborhood is a little iffy, that's all. Travis was unfailingly helpful and everything went smoothly.
Daniel lConvinced
Horacio BI 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.
Alex LEasy and clear exchange and the person working the desk was great!
Richard MGilman Street Rentals is the best. This time it was Travis who helped me get in, then get out of a late model van...AND ALSO update a future reservation. All very quickly. Thank you, Travis
R TTravis was extremely helpful, kind, and made the whole process easy! I’d recommend this location and Travis’ customer service to anyone!
Felipa PNothing
James BThe employee that manages that location was professional and very helpful. I really appreciate the service I received there.
HECTOR BIt 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.
Jessica SNot much to complain about it was smooth and quick
cynthia sThe customer service was excellent. Thank you!
Tami BGreat customer service!!
TEOLA CTravis does a great job. A good experience all around!
GUY WVehicle 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.
Andreas SGive that man that works down there a raise! Always prompt and friendly.
RICHARD GTravis was amazing. We were very stressed about getting our truck to move my in-laws but Travis kept us well informed and worked with us to make sure we had the equipment we needed. I would go back there a million times.
MICHELLE SStaff in Berkeley was friendly and knowledgeable.
DAUIDI NQuick and friendly service.
DANIEL CExquisite customer service, especially Andrew.
MARIECELLE LREPEAT - This is my go-to location.
Kimberly KAll good!
Juan CAttendant was friendly and knowledgeable; would rent from here again!
JONATHAN SThe 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.
PETER GThe 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.
Vineeta CWithout 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.
Ross KThe gentleman who runs the 6th St facility is an absolute rockstar. Renting from this facility is always a great experience.
conrad pSeamless experience. This is my go-to location in Berkeley-Oakland.
Kimberly KTravis was great! Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous!
RICHARD KGreat 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!!
JAMICA MThe truck was on empty….
Lisa MAll good!
