The U-Haul app on an IPhone doesn’t appear to provide enough of information to start the rental. The website seems to do a better job. I needed to call the vendor to get through the rental checkout process. The rental check in process seemed to work OK.

The owner was a great help over the phone helping me with a mobile check in, I really don’t think I could’ve done it without him. Thanks you guys!!

I was so impressed with how Darby was with a few questions I had - and then was able to come through in flying colors when the cargo van key went missing. I really appreciated working with this provider.

While the van had a minor electrical problem, it was fully explained and we were comfortable take it. The person at Mahneke Motors was just great. Couldn’t have been more helpful about everything. I wouldn’t want to use anyone else.

The gentlemen at Mahneke motors was awesome, he had me checked in less than 10 minutes. he hooked up the trailer and used his blower to make sure it was clean. I would rent from this location again.

This guy saved my bacon. The original location U-Haul sent me to pick up the truck was closed on Sunday, so no one was there. Importantly, there was no truck there for me, either! I called and was rerouted to this location where the gentleman took care of me quickly (he wasn't supposed to open until 10 AM but was there early so got me out the door by 9:30). He was clear, efficient, and professional, which I appreciated after my earlier experience. He should definitely be praised.

For a place we're supposed to check in/out 24/7 via cell phone there was almost no service for Verizon, taking over an hour of my reservation time just for checking in and out. I'm not gonna lie, this made me not want to use u-haul again.

When I called he insisted I use mobile pickup because he was “too busy.” He was leaving as I arrived, and no one was onsite. I had issues with my mobile pickup, and his neighbor had to help me (no one on-site). The most unprofesssional U-Haul experience of my life.

Very good customer service...felt very well taken care of. Everything was as ordered/promised and I was given great tips regarding towing weight which saved me from having problems later. Darby took the time to go over the details with me - much appreciated!

Service was terrific, and the cargo van met my transport needs perfectly. Condition of the vehicle prior to renting was well documented with photos detailing some very minor damage by the prior renter. Would definitely recommend U-Haul rentals at Mahneke Motors.

It was a little unclear where we were supposed to drop the trailer (after hours) so we made an educated decision and hoped for the best!

Gas was marked as fuller than when I received truck. No ramp and when returned one hour later because I couldn’t use the truck I was charged astronomically.

When I signed up for this location, I had no idea no one would be there. I had to call and get my pickup changed to online pickup, which took more than 30 minutes. The person on the phone was very kind and patient. I did also get charged for moving pads, which I never had, so if I could be refunded this charge, that would be great.

Had a scheduled pickup of 8am. Shop owner didn’t show until 8:15. Shop owner was also gone when I tried to return midday. While it’s the most convenient location for me to rent from, I don’t trust they’ll be there on time in the future so I’ll be traveling further away for my needs
