Hailey was incredibly helpful as my plans changed last minute due to a death in the family. She was friendly and compassionate, she made the changes seamless, it was easy on a really hard day. I will be using this facility for all my rental needs moving forward.
JENNIFER TLocation is self-service, but easy access as long as you don’t require any help with trailer unhooking. Was a little annoyed no one gave me a “heads-up” that phone would be required to finalize drop-off. Fortunately I was close enough (couple miles) to retrieve my phone.
DENNIS SPlace is clean and safe. Rented here several times. I got there during working hours but the sign on the door said “closed early due to lack of help”. Fortunately U-Haul helped me with a “person less” rental. Truck had over 100,000 miles on it and drove accordingly. Steering was loose and wheel was off-center. Gas gauge was off. U-Haul said it was “Full” but it took 12 gallons to go 60 miles? I don’t think so. After filling it until the pump “clicked” I saw was full was and I definitely did not get it full. This truck needs to be put out to pasture.
charles vTruck had a significant wheel issue. Dealer would not locate a mechanically sound truck for me to drive 1100 miles. Unacceptable.
RICHARD WWind shield needed to be washed.
JOHN EWhatever cleaner is used to clean the cab of truck stinks, I didn’t care for it. Turn signal wouldn’t shut off after turning left. Other then that everything else was great experience.
CHRISTOPHER CExceptional service!!
DEANNA HFix the App. It's absolute garbage.
Zachary PDrop off location was closed when I returned the truck. Website stated that this location was open until 5pm.
MARK LClosed
RONALD MThis place was great. Customer Service was great. Everything was explained and I knew exactly what I had to do when I returned before I left.
Staci JThe only thing was we had to stop for gas, so when it was dropped off the gas amount was same as when we picked it up. The people were so nice and helpful.
zena aEven though the truck was not clean, and it had some repair issues...this location is the best Uhaul to rent from. Will definitely rent from them again!
Maritza RThis is the second time I've rented a trailer from this location both went great. And both times the same person helped me out I can't remember her name but she was very kind and made the process swift and easy. Couldn't ask for better. And I'm sure I will be back.
Gary SSite was closed when I dropped off the truck.
John KThe ladies at Newer Elements made the rental process quick and easy. They were very careful to check my vehicle’s towing capacity.
GERARD AEverything was great. No improvement needed.
Timothy BThe wrong key was in the lockbox. The store was closed on a Saturday. The store only had an email address to contact someone.
Sean MDidn't have the dolly I was charged for in the truck. This was a HUGE inconvenience.
Alisha WNo warning about self check in, uhaul app, self service. "See you in the morning". Will try to avoid uhaul in the future and will share this horrible experience with as many as possible. I met 3 customers that morning that were confused and just gave up and left. No one there to help. Uhaul sucks!
John CGreat job nice people 👍
greg hOk. You lost my account info from 2 years ago. The app check-in was difficult. Not sure how I got to it. Kept clicking a link and went in circles. Went to take pictures, when I returned, the Return was complete, couldn’t add.
Geoff DSite rep was very friendly and easy to work with
charles vLocation needs to have more 15 ft box trucks
Thomas SIt is a very convenient location, I was very pleased with the kindness, respect, speed & professionalism i received at this valpo location. All other options given to me by u-haul dispatch where way to far for me and in some not so good cities & who wants to drive a hour and a half away to rent a vehicle for 4 hours when miles matter, U-haul know this, that's how they make their money. If u- haul didn't have a convenient rental location at Newer Elements in Valparaiso I definitely would have rented with a different company. The most disappointing issue I had was U- Haul only had 2 vehicles to choose from which is sad when people drive past this location and only see 2 smaller vehicles to rent and now look elsewhere, To me a Ex owner of a trucking company knows advertisement is key to more customers. This location in Valpo has a huge parking lot with plenty of room for at minimum 10 more vehicles for customers can choose from. Uhaul you have 2 competitors in this area, You definitely need a bigger foot print out this way. Rick Swift a Very Happy Customer.
Richard SNothing! The woman who took care of me was very professional and very pleasant to work with. She deserves a raise!
Bob EDid not have dolly ordered in stock. Drive 10 miles to get one. That location did not have the truck we ordered. Wasted 2 hours.
Terry TStaff was friendly and helpful. At the pick-up location the girl in the office was awesome, she helped me hitch up the trailer and educated me on the whole process.
Rachel MAll good.
Jozef SCommunication was great! Van was very clean and in great operating condition. We definitely will continue to rent from this location!
Nicholas SThis was a very bad experience. The Newer Elements store where the truck was located opened 1 hour later than was written on the site. This put the whole job behind, costing me time and money. Then returning the truck was also difficult because Newer Elements was closed when I returned the truck. Finally, the truck smelled like smoke and not all that clean inside the cab. Overall, a bad and frustrating experience.
Brett SAlex was very friendly when returning my rental. The location was well maintained and inviting. It was also helpful that they know about water treatment, since we moved from out of state.
HAYLEY RHave the people that work there be more respectful (Ashley). She wasn’t willing to help me out if a situation that wasn’t my fault
Brian BThey were closed but had a key Dropbox.
madeline pI am still waiting for an adjustment to my account. I was over charged and was told I would receive a credit to my bank account. The van I rented was not clean and smelled in the cab. The van did seem well maintained though it is pretty new. The woman who rents out the vehicles is not friendly or easy to deal with! I will not use this location again.
ELIZABETH CVERY NICE ON EVERYTHING -
