I was sent to two different locations before I made it to this one. The two locations were abandoned, broke down houses in the middle of nowhere, and I had to go an hour out of my way just to get this truck. I should have it never been sent to the second house that was a abandon and not a U-Haul rental place and I should have been told originally to go to this location instead of the first two

They don’t even keep the Utility Dolly that the app let me reserve. She didn’t even offer to find me one. They close the U-Haul computer at 3:00pm on Friday and don’t reopen until Monday

We couldn't tell it was an Uhaul location. Wasn't marked well and only had 1 other truck around back. On duty personnel could not accept our return.

Have the truck there on time and as contracted. Give the $50 reward when not there on time as promised. Pickup time was 3:00 for 10' truck. No truck in site. Lady in the store was able to get new paperwork for a van within 10-15 minutes. (Van fit my needs better). Was clean by U-haul standards, not by Enterprise standards. "Oil Change Required" displayed the whole time I had it.

When I picked up the vehicle I requested that the safe move coverage be removed from the contract. The agent told me that she would take it off when the vehicle was returned. Upon returning the vehicle there was no-one to speak to about the issue and I received a receipt via e-mail which included $42 for the safe move coverage. The receipt that I received showed a net payment of $157.97 but my credit card was charged $163.33. Next time I'll try Ryder or another rental service!!!

I feel the process went good but when I went to the counter to receive my keys after completing the check-in through app, the guy at the counter tried to tell me their system was down. It upset me because I feel the only reason he said that was because he stereotyped me not realizing I already went through the app. Luckily I had already done it thru the app with U-Haul, knew the vehicle was available, knew he was lying so I refused to leave and told him I would wait til his system came back up Or for the $50 bucks from the guarantee. I walked to the back saw van was there came back in and Low and behold he hands me the keys. If I went to him directly to rent he wouldn't have rented to me cus he's a stereotypical a-hole. Those 5 stars is for the U-Haul app process.

Hoover Encore Citgo 3651 Lorna Rd Hoover, AL 35216 Above location is UNSAFE for a 24/7 drop location. I dropped off at 7:00 PM Monday night. Totally UNACCEPTABLE, I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE!!!!!!!! I TRULY BELIEVED I WAS GOING TO BE EITHER KIDNAPPED OR MURDERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PARKING/DROP OFF AREA WAS UNLIT, OFF THE MAIN ROAD, NO SIGNS INDICATING U-HAUL LOCATION, NO DROPBOX INDICATOR. Worker "Lee' in the store was rude, could not be bothered to get off his phone long enough to to help or to say thank you when I returned the key. U-haul needs GUIDELINES for their locations that are participating in this program. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEGLIGENCE ON U-HAUL CORPORATION. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND I AM STILL SHAKEN FROM MY DROP OFF EXPERIENCE. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, the truck was infested with ants. Ants were coming out of the vents, they were on the dashboard, all over the driver's door & seat while I was driving the vehicle. I wasn't pleased with at all. I got bitten by ants but other than that, everything was good.

The new employee at the Citgo on Lorna Rd is not to blame. He's new. He didn't know how to assist me because he wasn't trained by whomever should have prepared him. Also, none of the equipment was on the truck that I ordered which resulted in me having to waste gas in the truck to drive to another location to get the equipment I needed. This wasted 2 whole hours of my time as well on a day when we were moving to a new house and had a ton of work to do.

We got a 24ft truck instead of the 10ft we ordered. They never let us know they were out of the 10ft. They kept saying it was an upgrade but it was twice the gas and we were not able to get it into the moving space. I spent hours on hood or being transferred for two days and lost a lot of packing time so our move was delayed.

It is a drop off on the side of a gas station. They parked in the through area so it was a bit tough to back a trailer in while blocking the road. Otherwise using the app was great. I went inside and told them I dropped off and they seemed surprised it let them know.

Only issue was with online rental and contacting Uhaul for changes. Location and every employee and phone representative were professional, pleasant, helpful and on task. Online rental was confusing and tedious. Phone contact was a long wait. Otherwise an excellent experience. Will certainly use again

The vehicle wasn’t completely cleaned out, but no big deal. Overall the 15’ truck was excellent and I didn’t have any issues. I pulled a car from Birmingham, AL to Ocean Township, NJ. Everything worked great. It would be great for u-haul to equip the tow trailers with electric winch.

Truck was very dirt, moving pads were pitiful (dirty). May not be the location's fault but the equipment needed some attention. When you applied brakes, it darted left to right. Very unsafe for the average driver. Luckily, I have driven commercially and it startled me, but I was able to control and make it safely back home.

The pick up experience was good. I was disappointed in the fact I called the local number of a rental location on 31 and asked them to Confirm my pick up location as I had a tight window. I am sure it was a reservation center and not the location as I think back. He assured me they had the exact equipment at this location. When I showed up they said they did not have it and sent me to a different location.

Attendant was not friendly at all.. was almost down right rude when picking up the truck... I then brought the truck back early as I usually do.... however was not made aware there was no drop box so after moving for 3 days... I had to take the key back the next morning... Same Attendant.. I asked if I could have possibly missed the drop box or if there just wasn't one... she simply answered.. "NO"... not even an .. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience".... Thank or kiss my ass...... At the VERY least she could have said at pickedup....."if you happen to return early, there is no dropbox"....... At 1:30 in the morning was not willing to leave the passenger door unlocked... and drop key in the floor which is what the 800 number associated said that's what people do sometimes... I asked if I would be held responsible for the truck if I did that... she replied.. "I cannot confirm nor deny that"... so I didn't... even after having proof I had returned the damn truck... I was so exhausted at that time and completely overwhelmed and frustrated over the whole experience with u-haul, I'm not sure I will use you again at this time... I've used u-haul for several years and had very good experience each time... This one just pushed ALL my buttons... As you can probably tell, the wrong buttons. However the people at the 800 number that I had to call a few times were very friendly, helpful and pretty informed with the issues I had. I am VERY unhappy and disappointed with the experience this time... Thank you for your time Brenda Chappell
