You need to know how to operate what you’re renting. If you don’t you could get in a lot of trouble. After trailer was put on truck I asked Phillip to make sure strap device worked? It did not! Philip then said I will go get some w-d 40 and try that. After a minute it started to be ok. I always ask how all mechanical things work if I do not have any tools on me and I was 400 miles from home. If I did not know anything he would have just let me drive away without checking. And when I had to put my broke down car on trailer I would not of been able to use the straps. Terrible! I had no issues other than that for the trailer. The truck itself was very dirty inside. For what I paid and the 8 hours I had to be in it at 55 mph you would think it would be in better condition.

Employees were very friendly, truck was clean, service was quick. I was surprised to get a $25 cleaning fee for a little mud in the back of the truck - I did not see the sign that said I need to sweep before returning. I returned the truck a day early and would have had time to clean if I knew. I also wasn't invited to inspect the truck together when returning, at which point I would expect them to tell me to quickly sweep to avoid the cleaning fee.

I reserved a truck online. Very easy process. Thirty minutes before pickup time the location was changed. Text message and a phone call advised me of the change. That was very helpful and the new location wasn’t far. However, it might be a good idea to let potential renters know that pickup location might change. Phillip at San Marcos location was professional, efficient, helpful. By the way, the $19.95/day price is misleading because the mileage charges are a significant addition to the final cost. Still worth it to us but might not be to others. Besides the cost of mileage, it was a great experience.

I have been charged $50 cleaning fee. I do not understand. Can you please explain. I have not rented from this location in years so I can only assume they are trying to gouge for extra dollars. I swept the bed of the van before returning. As a regular user of U-Haul I have never been treated like this so I'm assuming it is the location. PLEASE REMOVE THIS FEE.

I have rented MANY U-Haul trucks from MANY locations over MANY years, and I can say unequivocally that this outpost outshines them all!! Where to begin? How about an incredibly courteous, professional, well-informed and witty staff that doesn’t miss a thing? Yup, kudos to Danny, Ray and Phil! These guys rock. The trucks were extremely well-maintained, clean and reliable. The office was spotless, and displays well-organized. The grounds were likewise tidy and welcoming. Honestly, I didn’t think simply getting a truck could be such a positive experience. But it was. Blue Ribbon, Boys! Thank you! 🙏🏻🏆🥇🚚

My truck was ready and clean when I got there. I thought I might be a little late returning it and the guys at the counter were super chill and told me when they needed it back by. Return was equally easy. I'll definitely rent from here again.

When I arrived at the pick-up location on State Street, I learned that the truck I had rented had not been returned and that they couldn't let me take the other one because it had been taken to Burning Man and was a mess. The employee went out of his way to ensure that I left with a vehicle, and though it wasn't the one I wanted, it ended up being a better choice for the garden work day. Wish I knew his name, but he is to be commended for his customer service.

Danny was very helpful and easy to work with. I would only recommend to put signs leading towards the office, because the GPS takes you down a hill that is hard to turn around in.
