VERY VERY DISSATISFIED! I had reserved both truck and car dolly for 0900 at the Vestavia Al location near me(like 2 weeks prior). Then UHaul had me go to Homewood location at 0900 for truck but I COULD NOT GET car dolly UNTIL NOON and had to go to Helena, Al for that. Ya'll had me running ALL OVER THE METRO AREA from one side of town to the other! Extremely limited my loading time. In addition, I thought it was QUITE Expensive for basically a one and a half day rental but had to do what I had to do. Should have been total of like $250. Both the truck and car dolly SHOULD HAVE BEEN READY TO GO at 0900.........AND, UHaul should be able to move them around to the location requested(Vestavia) verses me/customer driving all over town.
Dale HThe employees were personable and a joy to do business with. Highly recommend!
TIMOTHY HDropped off after closing with mobile app. My phone died half way through check in process. I went home and charged phone and came back to finish check in but when I opened app to finish it showed check in complete. Due to the inclement weather conditions I was late turning equipment in. I called and explained what was going on and that I would be late checking in. The person I talked to was very helpful and thanked me for calling ahead of time to let them know what was going on.
Joan GLocation was fine. Equipment was dirty and had broken parts. This was suooosed to be a one way drive but was told at the end of the move that I had to take it back to original location. The cost of the rental for 24 hours was crazy expensive.
Lisa HGreat hob
FREDERICK MNothing. Keep doing what you’re doing
CHARLES LU-Haul app needs some improvement. Tried to use it for pickup and delivery but just froze up.
LOWELL MEverything went perfectly
Richard BDid a night drop off. No personnel on site. Should have an N/A option
Adam PDrop off was a piece of cake, plenty of room for the 26 foot truck and the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Jonathan HThis was my first time renting at this location from U-Haul. It was easy and quick, great customer service.
ANTONIO FDid not have the requested / ordered items. The absence of two ordered appliance dollys significantly hindered my move. Unfortunately it left me in quite a situation having specific needs for them. I was provided a furniture dolly that basically was a waste of my money. I was told that there is no way to track the equipment. Disappointing consider I’ve used U-Haul multiple times in the past two years.
WILLIAM SNothing
CHERYL CNothing. It was great service
Richard DNot sure why this survey is only requesting feedback regarding the pick up location; if there was a section regarding the use of the app and it's convenience, I would not even give one star. That is the hardest app I have ever used and will never use it again.
Paxton ANo drop off key box nothing mentioning U-Haul. Had to call and get hung up one more than once was told several different solution. After almost two hours just parked the truck and hope for the best. Please take this location off for dropping off a truck. Worst ever.
RYEN PThose people in that place were awesome. They treat you like you were family best place I’ve ever ever been.
DOUGLAS HNothing. I was very satisfied with the service.
CATHERINE OIf the secondary contact information is required, it should not be optional on the website. The store indicated that information was required....I made up a name and number while in the store just to appease the clerk.
DAVID WMy original pickup location was changed to a different location, which was a 30 minute drive each way from my house.
Adriane HI have rented from this location a couple of times and it has always been a great experience. The people there are great!
Robert MThis comment applies to neither place or the rental itself. We had somone from UHaul text us and then call us about hauling a trailer behind our rental. We were glad to help. However, we spent a long time on the phone with the representative explaining everything to us and us asking questions. The offer got canceled only a few minutes after we hung up. What a waste of time. Don't do that to people unless you know the offer is a sure thing.
Jamie BThe cargo mat was not glued so I kept on tripping. I bought it with full tank of gas, but was not provided any refund for extra gas I put in. I think that’s a bit unfair because they charge you when you bring it back low.
Deepak BThank You
Mekhi MEverything perfect. The associate was very nice and knew what she was doing the second i walked up. Very knowledgeable and even hooked the tow dolly up for me, and checked to make sure all lights were working. In and out in 10 minutes.
Charles DCould ask for anything better
CARL LRenting a u-haul at this location was very impressive. Requested the truck, signed the document and drove off within minutes. I will definitely rent again and refer others.
Carol NThe truck had a horrible smell like the windows had been left down and the seats got wet and mildewed. Gave me a horrible headache and nausea. Returned it after 1 day due to the smell.
Donna BFantastic drop off experience.
JAMES LThe Clerk was super nice and helpful.
Jason DThey were awesome and courteous! Hooked up trailer to our truck. He was training a young man and was very good at showing and explaining. Great business.
Steve Mdo a pre trip with customer, check all lights,
Joe RThe cleanliness of this $19.99 unit was great. The location was great as well and close to my storage unit. Easy access was one of the main reason for choosing this area. Customer service was excellent. I would choose this location again.
Dalphia BI recently moved to the area and rented a small box truck from this place to pick up some couches. They were so nice and thorough with everything!! Great experience!!
Darren WGreat small town service! Friendly and helpful choosing proper equipment to rent.
Mark BThey screwed me over on the gas. I put EXACTLY the amount that was in it when I left but they charged me $11 for 2 gallons. BS
DAVID SAbsolutely nothing to be improved, best experience I could've ever had. ♡
jacob j100% satisfied was greeted at the door, and the staff was very thorough on how to use the equipment, ensuring that I was on the road in a timely fashion while being safe the same time. Would highly recommend this location.
Billy MThe customer service was excellent.
Rex MExcellent experience with this rental at this location. Completed the reservation and registration on line, including drivers license and method of payment, before showing up to the store. Vehicle was ready and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Same experience upon vehicle return, very fast and easy. Random charge for $2 showed up on my AMEX the next day, may have been nice to know what that was for, but no big deal. Overall I'd rent from there again for sure, couldn't have been more pleased with my experience.
Elgin DI dropped it off at night after hours. They sent me a confirmation saying that they received it, and that the ticket was closed out, made it nice and easy.
James WVery nice and quick and easy
raymond bIt was very good service. Quick fast and to the point. Easy to use and return in a timely fashion. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs it.
Brandon MIt was an excellent experience from start to finish!!!
Justin LA very easy process
Troy PThe website stated I could do mobil check out for the van and let me reserve a unit at 7pm even though the location I was going to closed at 6pm. Luckily, the staff contacted me about picking up the van so I was able to get there in time. But they didn’t know the website would allow you to reserve for a time slot after hours at a location were you could not use mobil pick up. Other than that, everyone was great and I will definitely recommend and use this location again in the future for close travels.
Briana SStaff very knowledgeable and courteous. I will use Helena Hardware again and recommend them to friends!
