The employees were so kind and generous. They helped me get everything I needed for my move, and the process couldn’t have been smoother. I can’t think of anything they could have done better. I will continue to use them for future moves and will highly recommend them.

No suggestions. Perfect service. Also, I lost my key, and I was completely impressed by the alacrity and professionalism of the U-Haul support team. I received a new key surprisingly quickly. And the people on the phone we're very sharp, and very responsive to the situation.

It was nice to drop off where someone is there to greet you. Makes a quick check of the truck, the gas and for me a small add for extra mileage. Easy and fast, while dropping off the 26' truck.

Ensure the truck is there on time to pick up. Not your fault, previous renter was late getting back. Otherwise all good, truck ran fine, was clean and serviceable. Agent was very accommodating,

Cannot say enough good things about the manager/owner of the Soquel CA store. After some difficulties in previous moves with U-Haul having the right equipment in the right location at the right time, this owner proactively contacted me bf I could contact him to verify the rezzy. He was highly professional, courteous and motivated to help. We had to go to a different location for the trailer so he called me ahead and arranged for me to go with him, at his expense and at my convenience, to pick it up the day bf my rezzy started. Without his professionalism I would have experienced the same day-of issues I experienced twice before, burning critical time at the start of the trip that took days to recover from. Nicely done Sir, a true breath of fresh air!

We had trouble putting gas in the tank - tried two different gas stations. Wondering if it had to do with the fact that (as your personnel told us) someone siphoned gas from the truck the night before our pickup? :( Really friendly service, easy transaction and communication. Wheel alignment was slightly off, pulled to the right but not bad.

This location is at a difficult intersection re:ingress and egress. The yard itself is around the corner of an adjacent building so it’s somewhat hard to see, plus the entryway into the yard was particularly “attractive” - I didn’t have to enter the actual storage yard so I can’t really comment on its cleanliness etc. However, there was an attendant on duty and he was VERY helpful and made the check-in/drop off painless.

It’s a small location with a dirt lot and poor access. Staff did not come out to check me out. I left the trailer in the back lot with the others, and checked out online. I crossed my fingers that my return was processed correctly and timely

I’ve moved a lot in my adult life and have always moved through U-haul. Most of my experiences have not been great in terms of customer service. But this location goes above and beyond. I believe I’ve gone through Neighborhood U-Haul about 3 times while living in the Santa Cruz area. No matter who is at the desk, I always get sincere, friendly and caring service. This location should be the model for every location. They make you feel like they truly care, and go out of their way to help.

Excellent service. I didn't have a reservation and showed up on Saturday to rent a vehicle. The person at the counter worked hard to show me my options and give what they had that would work best for me. Worked out great. I called in to ask how much gas I need to fill up the truck and the person told me what was in the tank when I left and how much I would need to put in according to the miles I drove with it. Kudos to the person working the yard who ran out to my car before I left to give me the parking pass I left hanging from the mirror. I really needed it and it would have been hard to replace. He literally ran out and gave it to me as I was driving away. Much thanks and appreciation. Highly recommended.

Put oil in the trucks so you don’t end up leaving me on the side of the road for 8 hours. And when you do leave me there, give me realistic time expectations
