The mobile process was very complicated and it took us a half hour to get everything set up and approved before we could get the keys to the truck. Please bring back a human at the counter.

There was nothing wrong with the location or anything that the local store can improve. The app and the website were a nightmare to use, and it was the only way to book a reservation at this otherwise convenient location. 1. The website doesn't accept all valid US mailing addresses as billing addresses. Since this will be public, I will not include details here, but I have explained it to a customer service rep. This made it impossible for me to book. 2. My friend was able to make a reservation, but when she added me as an authorized driver, the form to input my driver information would not submit. The image OCR read my driver's license accurately and filled the form correctly. There was a red box around my name as if there was a validation error, but no explanation of what was causing the error. Hitting the submit button only refreshed the page. We eventually called the help desk who manually checked us in. 3. It would be helpful if we could have been prompted to add the driver information during the reservation process, before trying to check in. We were outside in the heat trying to take pictures of our IDs and reenter billing information that was already entered. This was not very user friendly. 4. The customer service employee, who helped us when we called, was courteous and helped us really quickly. Without him we would have given up completely. 5. The website mentioned that there would be straps inside the van for us to use to secure the cargo. There were no straps. It would be helpful to know what supplies we need ahead of time, so that we aren't scrambling for alternate solutions at the last minute. 6.

I scheduled to pickup at 8am at a different location and do mobile pickup. Upon. Arrival the app said to contact support who told me I could not get a truck. They then sent me to a different location. When I got there the app said pickup was at 9:15. I had movers arriving at 9am. When I could finally check in, the app would not register my photos of the truck. I again called support who told me to take normal photos on my phone for my own record and just take the truck. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD NOT CONSIDER USING U-HAUL AGAIN NOR RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS. Not a good experience, not what I paid for, added stress. The temperature outside was also above 90 but the trucks AC wouldn’t not work when accelerating.

was charged a cleaning fee despite returning a completely empty and clean truck. Said there was furniture in the truck but all I hauled as sports equipment like bats and balls. Either some clerical error or outright fraud. Have called twice to dispute.

Truck windows were filthy. Employee could provide only very limited information. Online check in was not very easy to use and required a call to a service rep to correct an issue with the rental. Reserved size truck was not available.

With the exception of the customer service rep, the entire experience was a nightmare. Ending with being told to put the big fat key in a drop box that doesn’t have an opening through which it will fit. The whole process was broken.

Overall this was an excellent pick up location, and the employees were very helpful. Two things that could be improved are: 1. We weren't allowed to park our vehicle on their lot when we picked up our rental; we had to park on the street. It wasn't a big deal for us, but it might be for some customers. Maybe that information could be shared when making a reservation, or the Reston Mobil can rearrange some things on their lot to allow for customer parking. 2. I could not fit the rental van's key through the slot of the dropbox upon return. Fortunately, I was returning the van during business hours and could just give the key to an employee, but it would have been a very stressful situation otherwise. The drop box needs to be repaired/replaced to ensure the keys will fit.

I tried to call to location many times but no one would respond. The door to the gas station was locked and only by luck the lady who was working walked over while talking to a friend on her phone.

Owner of the location consistently hassled me for the truck parking location during the rental time period. I had a 24 hour rental and they told me they were going to charge me to remake keys prior to the 24 hour window of returning the truck expired.

The location and staff were they high point. The mobile experience was a low point. Too many variables with application settings and location services. Either find a way to improve, change, or cease offering.

Reston Mobil location was professional, courteous and well informed as to équipement and contract terms etc. We really liked the pick up and drop off expérience. It would be nice if the counter service was available until 5 instead of 4 pm. But it is not a significant problem because after hours drop off is available and I have done that before with no issues.

First, i reserved the truck from the Chantilly location and was notified a few days before pickup that i had to go to Reston. Reston did not have the equipment i requested in my order (furniture dolly's), I called U-Haul and they sent me to Sterling. They did not have the dolly's either. I decided to purchase them from Home Depot, and on my way there, i stopped at the Chantilly location (Westfax Rd, i believe). They did not have dolly's either, however, i was able to PURCHASE what i needed. What upset me the most was that they had 10 15 foot trucks in stock, yet i had to go to Reston. The staff in Reston was less than helpful/

The lady that checked me in took 30 minutes because she said my home address was listed as the end address and she couldn’t figure out how to change it. This likely changed when my pick up location was changed as I entered the information accurately in my online order. Also, the truck pick up was at a gas station and the truck only had half a tank of gas.

I returned the truck clean, but I was charged $35 cleaning fee. This is not fair. You guys can’t charge people just because you want to. I want my $35 back! It is not about the money, it is about the principles.

The initial truck that I was assigned had a check engine light on. I had to talk to the attendant about getting assigned another truck. Additionally, the dolly and furniture blankets were not in the truck when I arrived and I had to ask the attendant for those as well.

App was slow to update and as a result the process became very complicated. The lady at the location was very helpful though. The people on the support phone line were not.

Note that the "personnel" question is immaterial. I did the whole transaction on my phone and didn't interact with anyone. I did have trouble getting the app to read the QR on the facility door to confirm my location, though this is likely an app problem rather than a facility problem. Tried a few times and it didn't seem to take, the app then told me I'd have to do it the old fashioned way with papers and such. Then, it seemed to change its mind and let me continue on the phone (finally read my GPS location, maybe?). No problems after that.

I hate the dumb way I needed to book with the app. It took over 30 mins to drive off with the car. That’s dumb.

The front desk agent is very knowledgeable and I know she's been there a long time. Last time I rented, she wasn't there, and the owner was not very good at helping (as nice as she was, she didn't know the system that well, which contributed to some delays). The truck was a bit dinged up, and the engine light was on but my trip was LT 10mi so I wasn't concerned. Pick up took 5 minutes (I recommend signing in online first) and drop off was quick too.

Get rid of the mobile check in app. It is entirely too cumbersome. A customer should be able to walk up to the counter, presenter, identification, and walk out the door with their truck. If you need additional information or contact, requested before, completing the initial online reservation.
