The location of my reservation was changed and I was given no notice. I estimated 100 miles, but the charge listed a charge for 160 miles. The truck was given to me almost completely empty. After I returned it with more gas than I received it with, I was charged a fuel surcharge. Uhaul needs to return to honest customer service.

Ok, when you check into this location the signs are pointing different directions so it’s a bit confusing, but one of the signs asks you to call a number to get further instructions. The lady who answered wasn’t sure what to do so she said she would have somebody call us. But she was very nice. We ended up wondering back a bit deeper into the parking lot and found a guy who was able to check us in and was wondering why we didn’t do that in the first place (again, confusing signage). He was great and made it very easy. However, we received a call from another guy while we were pulling out and he was abrupt and asked us where we put the truck. I said we checked it in with the U-Haul agent. And he got snippy and said “I need to know where so I can find it.” And then gave a sarcastic chuckle. I told him it was in the back of the lot at A-1 with the other vehicles. He said “nevermind I’ll find it thanks.” I said “umm ok.” Because he was being rude and dismissive at this point. So we just ended it there. But he ruined a really good experience.

Explain pick-up and drop-off locations are different when renting a truck/trailer one-way

kelly v

The equipment looked brand new when I picked it up. The tires looked new, with plenty of tread. I noticed this because at the location I usually go to the trailer tires are bald. Pick up and drop off are both much better at this location as well. They send you a text message a couple hours before your scheduled pick up time, prompting you to upload your driver license photo, and then they just meet you in the lot and hook you up. It could be totally contactless if you wanted, but Rick was a pleasant guy to talk to. Dropping it off was just as easy. I just rolled up and Rick's partner was right there helping somebody else dropping off, paused them for a few seconds, unhooked me expeditiously, and asked if I wanted paper or email receipt. Fanf_ckingtastic! I think I'll drive a little bit out of my way from now on just to rent from this location...

Best location ever. Sometimes things don't always go as expected. The entire system was down on a national level. The office took me in, provided me with a space to work with wifi and provided snacks and coffee. I was able to get some work done while the system went back up. I was quickly on my way. This location knows how to treat its customers!

The team at this uHaul location is the best! They go out of their way to make sure you feel valued! Jose stayed late to make sure I was taken care of and that all things were in order. Rick always has his fleet well stocked. I can always count on this team.

The only negative I have with the experience was when I returned the trailer. When I dropped the trailer off at the afterhours lot, I was unfamiliar with the process of checking it in on the app. I called the posted number for UHAUL for help. The man on the phone was quite rude and short with me. he directed me to the UHAUL app to check the trailer in, but he was more concerned that I only use one parking slot to leave the trailer in. He repeated the instruction to leave the trailer in ONLY ONE parking slot three times. For some reason that was main concern. His attitude was pretty much "use the app to check the trailer in, moron".

I rented a 15’ truck twice over two weekends for a 350+ mile move, and both experiences were excellent. The trucks were either like new or extremely well-maintained and spotless. Gas mileage was surprisingly good. Pickup and return were quick and easy, and billing was seamless. What really stood out, though, was the owner. After getting to know him, I found him to be a person of genuine character—considerate of customers and always making sure they get the best equipment for the job. Maintaining a fleet takes real effort (I even saw him working outside in the scorching sun), yet he consistently puts customer needs first. Highly recommend this location.

The service at this particular location the best bar none! Every time I come here, I feel like a VIP with the level of service I receive----No matter who is there! This morning, Jose went above and beyond with his level of service. He really cares about his customers and took the time to get to know me. I hope I am lucky to work with him again next time!

The Redwood City U-Haul location consistently delivers outstanding customer service, making the entire truck rental process seamless and stress-free. Rick, the on-site manager, goes above and beyond to ensure every customer is taken care of quickly and with genuine attention to detail. Having used several other truck rental locations, I can confidently say this U-Haul stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Attendant would only sell me the standard U-Haul hitch ball mount at 2x the retail price (i.e. $60 vs $29.99) and required cash payment. Seemed a bit sketchy. For the next customer please make it clear what the accessory prices will be at the remote pick up location.

I recently ordered a trailer from this location and this is the second time I ordered a trailer from the same team, As I finished my transaction I left the place and found out I was missing my phone and went back and spoke to Jose and Rick and right away they dropped what they were doing and begin to search for my phone. Rick the manager got in his car and went to drive around a block away and found my phone and was a relief for me when he got back with my phone found that I dropped as I lifted on top of the trailer hitch. I want to say a big thank you to Joae and specifically Rick for their outstanding work of going the extra mile for their customers. I highly recommend this Uhaul location for their kind and dedication they offer to their clients and will continue to go back to this location. Thank you Jose and Rick

This UHaul location is a poor excuse for a rental shop. App-based services are awful. Nobody wants to download your app. Even once I downloaded it, it didnt work. Apparently Im not the only one having trouble, but the attendant doesnt want to show up so he just blames the customer over the phone. Much better to have someone on-site, never using this place again.

Gave us a truck with the check engine light on so webhad to call for service to see if it was safe to drive delaying us by 2 hours. The drivers side door would not unlock with a key so you had to go to the passenger side to enter. Paying a premium for less than satisfactory equipment and service. Would not do again.

A $1500 cleaning fee is completely insane. Assuming $100/hr (which is an extreme overestimate) and 10 hours of labor, that's still $500 over budget. There was no breakdown of cost by component (cabin, engine, storage space, etc.) even when requested and the person in charge was rude and dismissive when asked about the cost. I will never rent from this company again without some kind of apology and refund. You'll be lucky if I don't initiate a credit card chargeback and trash uHaul on social media and review websites for this.

I had an a reservation originally in Hayward, California where was 36 miles closer to my final destination and I made a reservation a week prior but when I arrive there, they said I was late and therefore they don’t have any trucks for me. They had never told me that I was supposed to be there on a specific time. They just told me after what time which I had told him I will be there after 12 noon and then they couldn’t help me with any other trucks I ended up driving 36 miles away to REDWOOD CITY to rent this unit and they told me I cannot have it for no more than one day where my original reservation was for two days basically U-Haul is a mess and nobody is gonna care when you get in trouble

Esmeralda was great yet again. Pickup was smooth, once I hit the front of the line, I was hooked up to the trailer so rented in maybe 5 minutes max (of course, I had previously checked in on the app first, uploading my drivers license, etc).

Appears that the rep is not onsite during posted normal business hours. They've had the equipment I needed, but I had to wait until someone showed up to get it. Same thing happened in the afternoon. Fortunately, he told me earlier that I could just leave the trailer in the parking lot outside the locked gate. I did, as did evidently three other people. I guess if this is not a full service U-Haul location the hours should be posted as such and a number given so we could call to see if we could actually get the item we reserved on their website.
