What are the difference between two different shops. This guy was friendly, laughing and joking. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Was actually surprised on how nice he was after the guy we dealt with in Scottsdale.

Great site manager, van clean and in good repair, timing good, saved a ton by renting U-Haul instead of hiring a person - which I was able to do. Thanks!

Nader Naderi runs a fantastic operation and is a joy to work with. We've been doing annual business with Nader and his location for several years and wouldn't even consider going elsewhere.

I like the new "X" stickers in damage locations. The previous renter of this truck really did multiple points of cosmetic damage.

My original pick up was on Main St. in Soquel. The owner gave away my vehicle after driving over 200 miles to pick it up. The 800 # for the Uhaul was able to save the day and get me another vehicle in the area. It does not make up for the lack of accountability of the first shop. Also, I was charged $41 dollars for "extra" milage. I did not take the vehicle out for a spin. The only alternate route was for road construction. Not sure how you calculated my return.

Windshield cracked, numerous dings, vehicle very dirty. We cleaned it before returning much better than we picked it up as. I liked the guy I dropped vehicle off with. Friendly proprietor counts more than dirty vehicle.

A very positive experience. Alex got me into the truck quickly , making sure it was ready for me and communicating the terms of the rental clearly. The truck handled well and was perfect for my needs. Finally, the return went well with Alex doing the once over of the truck, reviewing my charges and getting me on my way.

I received my U-Haul. Yes it was clean very difficult to get in and out of the location. The tiedowns on the side where these little tiny boards set some were missing so was unable to tie down most of my items. Disappointing once I got home and, did not have a chance to swap it out somewhere in Santa Cruz county because I already had movers there to help load.

The location was a little hard to find, as it is behind a row of small businesses fronting the street. Fortunately they had one U-Haul truck parked out in the lot near the street, so I knew I was in the right place (even though my mail app said I was). Following the drive through the parking lot I found the business in back. The attendant was wonderful and the checking-in took only a few minutes.

I mean.... stop people from moving on a Saturday?? Other than that... nothing. And even with that comment... i waited behind one group each time I went into the office. That's really not bad on a Saturday (8/17). I dealt with an older guy in the morning (10am) and a younger guy (3pm) in the afternoon. I wish I had gotten names. Both were friendly, matter of fact, and good representatives for U-Haul. You could also see that they worked well together... which as a supervisor myself... was noticeable. We were able to pick up some purchased items for our new home. AND take some stuff to the dump. To be honest... to get any "smaller" rig on a Friday afternoon was a treat! U-Haul was awesome. Your staff was awesome. THANK YOU!

Fast and easy transaction. The price is reasonable, and customer service was great. I was stuck in traffic and had to push my reservation out and was able to do it without any issues. Would recommend to anyone.
