Customer feedback is extremely important to us. We use these reviews to guide our efforts and improve our service. Everything that follows is direct from our customers, without any filtering or editing on our part.
If the location doesn’t have specific equipment that was asked for example, utility dolly versus appliance dolly. They should have to tell the customer that they won’t have one. I had a limited time to move and ended up having to move a refrigerator down two flights of steps with utility dolly.
Stephen CWhen I picked up my trailer I was told to hook it up myself. Before I left the rep ensured me I could drop off at South Lake Tahoe location. Even highlighted and wrote it on the agreement. When I arrived I was told I had to drop it off elsewhere… another city. Cost me over 50.00 in fuel
ROSS CAbsolutely horrible, the entire U-Haul smelled like actually poop and piss.. there was a puddle of liquid in the corners which I assumed was piss, and was stains everywhere… my clients bed were smelling of poop and piss after being in there for a few hours for the move…. Absolutely terrible and I wish you guys would have done something
JONATHAN SKimberley needs to improve on her customer service skills! She was very rude and condescending and I will not recommend this location to any friends or family
ADRIENNE LVery professional staff told me exactly where to go and the guy that came out was very friendly
THOMAS DBe clear about pricing. It was supposed to be 29.99 for the day and yall charged me double 59.98 plus milage

GEORGE TI arrived with an email from Security Public storage stating a 9 am pick up. They made me wait 30 minutes and stated The U Haul office didn’t open until 9:30. He could have helped me ,no other customers were there.Out of principle he didn’t help me. Upon return at 12:48 they informed me they were on their “ UHaul , 1 hour lunch break “ and wouldn’t check me out …out of principal. Really sad commentary on their employees. I’m sorry I didn’t follow their rules, I was punished. And they are rule folders. I would like a discount.
Catharine PAgain using the App for the drop of seemed pointless as it didn't show me which drop off location that I was intended to use.
LINWOOD RI'm in shock at how easy the drop off was.
DALE BVery friendly & helpful staff at that location
RONALD HThe service representatives were friendly and helpful. Ashleigh is a delightful person. Can’t praise her kindness and skills enough. Micah was also pleasant and kind. The third agent didn’t have a lot of interaction although he was very helpful to support his team. Thank you for such a great experience. Loucinda
LOUCINDA AWe put less than 20 miles on rental truck in 3 hours for a local move. When we received the invoice via email it showed that we drove 60 miles and had it for 4 hours. The people at office we very nice so we didn’t think we needed to worry about anything or take pics of speedometer. We even told them originally it would be less than 20 miles when asked. Now we are getting the run around when diluting it.
MICHELE MReservation procedure online was great.the staff checking me in was wonderful. Returning was efficient.
EVELYN WThe first truck we got was broken. Had to transload our load and drive 70 miles to get a new truck the replacement truck was great.
Robert VI rented at the beginning of the month on the 2nd from the Cat City location only because the Palm desert location that’s closer to where I live didn’t have anything available. Turned out….. They were Really courteous and helpful. I paid exactly what I was quoted on my online reservation. And the young lady went out of her way to be very helpful. Well I needed to rent a truck again this well for two days for the second phase of my move. I made my reservation online again And was quoted approx $155. I rented it for two days. When we got there yesterday the girl was very short and rude. The price was approx $30 more than my online quote and she didn’t care to explain to me as to why. When I pushed the issue she said that we had to pay mileage up front and also make sure we brought it back with the same amount of gas. So ridiculous…. the last U-Haul location said if we brought it back with the same amount of gas there was no 0tger charges. Also we returned it today instead of tomorrow and we still got charged the full amount. So shade and crooks. Overcharging. I will not be renting from your location again and I well not recommend you again
LONNIE CThe kid working there did not want to help uhaul clients. He seemed overwhelmed with his work for the storage company and made it clear that he didn’t want to deal with uhaul business. I’ve rented From many uhaul locations over 40 years and I’ve never seen an employee with such a bad attitude. He should not have customer facing job responsibilities.
Charlton AAshley was great
OLIVER WThe employee who detached the trailer from my car and completed my reservation was SO nice. He made the experience easy and enjoyable.
CARRIE PNo changes. The staff was extremely friendly and professional.
JOHN TExcellent service. The lady at check in and check out was exceptional. Friendly and helpful.
Laura MVery unhappy. When i reserved the trailer I was quoted one price but when I picked it up it was $200 more.
JULIE MThe locations need to actually check that the equipment is clean for the next person. Most people are in a time crunch and having to clean it out is a big inconvenience.
Paula TI did self service after hours so the above questions don’t really apply
VALLEN AOffice was closed at 12:15 when I arrived for pickup. Sign on door. Be back soon, wait if you can . Waited 20 minutes, was given van when had been told I was being upgraded to a truck on previous phone call, van drove good but AC did not work at all and it was hot and windy.
DIXIE KI had to clean the rental trailer. It had tree debris and red party cups in the bed of the trailer - the tree debris was not from the trees in the area, so the mess had to be from the previous renter. I had reserved it the day before, so it should have been cleaned before I picked it up. As I was cleaning it, the staff person, Kim said nothing when I brought it up as she was attaching the trailer to my vehicle. Recently I did a referral to a friend to rent a trailer here. Somehow when I went to rent this trailer, his information was on my account and when I requested it be corrected, the staff person started an argument with me and blamed the mistake on U-Haul and told me there was nothing I could do about it unless I called U-Haul. She told me the U-Haul service was a separate business not associated with Security Public Storage. People make mistakes - just fix it versus starting an argument and blaming it on someone else. Next time I'll go to Budget or Ryder.
STEVEN RI came in to return the truck at 430 Sunday, they close at 5. When I got there, they told me they were closed, and would email a receipt. If they close at 5, why couldn't they check me out at 430?
JACK CThe return went smoothly, but to my shock and horror, my card was charged an exorbitant rate of $120 for gas and cleaning. I am disappointed at this experience, since I chose this U-Haul location because of the high ratings. I will be disputing these charges and seeking a refund!
JASON DAndrew and his team were awesome they were very helpful and courteous and professional took care of me right away my only problem issue was with the checkout app It wasn't I was barely able to take Two pictures but it wasn't allowing me to take anymore pictures So I had to skip the pictures of the truck on the checkout app. Noticed one of the cables was broke on the back door why I had to take a picture of it but we were still able to open and shut the door No problem Other than that everything else was great
DOUGLAS CWe had problems with 2 trucks. Andrew at this location was good at handling this in a professional manner. He made a bad situation as best as possible. I will go back to this location and use U-Haul because of him. Good job Andrew.
CRAIG CI was happy with the service we got
Marlyn DThe Uhaul staff were friendly and supportive on achieving my moving objectives.
GREGORY CExceptional customer service!! Thank you so much!!
JOSEPH CThe vehicle was filthy when I picked it up. The windshield covered with insects. When I drove seven miles to my home I discovered the right rear tire had side wall damage and had to be replaced by roadside service.
RICHARD MNothing! Very pleased with the seamless truck rental. Ashley and Gabe were so friendly and accommodating, and the return was a breeze. I’ve used them in the past and I’ll be using them in the future!
KATHLEEN HWe did have trouble with ABS disengaging the cruise control, otherwise it was a good trip.
BRUCE VThe staffing at this location were lacked professionalism. The truck cargo door was broken, and when I notified the staff at the location, all they replied was "We know". Why issue out trucks that are not in proper working order.
Daniel AOpen at 9 rather than 9:30
Stanley HWe were not allowed to drop off the trailer at the rental yard we agreed to when we picked up the trailer. Several hours after we picked it up, had it loaded and were on the road the corporate office called me and said there wasn't room to receive the trailer at the place U-Haul originally agreed to. It now needed to be taken a 25 minute drive in the opposite direction, all side streets, so almost an hour out of our way. The kid from Corporate said it didn't matter what they had agreed to earlier, they would not accept the trailer as originally agreed. I didn't appreciate his attitude and, in the future, will be looking for competitors. I had to resolve the issue the following day with another lengthy call to U-Haul. We still had to go out of our way but only about 1/2 the time the kid imposed on us the day before.
DIANE HThanks to all at Secure Storage for making our experience !
MARK LThe staff, once again, were incredibly nice and helpful. Great price, 10/10 experience. I wish every experience I had with a business open to the public operated like these guys.
GARRETT BWas quoted a different price at pick up than I was charged at drop off. Everyone needs to be on the same page as far as pricing.
PHILLIP DService was great
LEE MThe gas Guage was originally below where the paperwork said it was. Cost me $. Also, when I picked up the truck she figured out my mileage from her shop to my unload location. She didn't incluse the mileage to return to my load up spot in town and she didn't consider the mileage from my unload spot to the drop off spot. When I am trying to budget my use of the truck and she sets the mileage I was penalized $31.00 at $1.00 per mile when I returned the truck. That to me is not a charge I should have to pay when DID NOT at all for any reason use the truck for any other means and drove straight to the site. These a r e the reasons for my rating. The employees were nice and professional. Just having to pay it an extra $56.00 after drop off was unfair and a thorn in my side especially after I had just put $79.oo worth of gasoline to refill the tank
STEVE PI would urge anyone renting from the U-Haul at the corner of Varner rd. and Berkey, in Palm Desert, CA to wait while they check the vehicle in… I rented a small van and returned the vehicle 4 hours later, I only drove it 15 miles and put 2.4 gallons of gas prior to returning it. The email ed receipt shows 15 miles driven and an additional charge of 30 dollars for 7 gallons of gas…so 9.4 gallons for 15 miles??!!
JOHN NWe came early maybe that’s why the truck was dirty inside and out
AXEL RGreat staff!
RONALD MKeep it up and keep going with what you’ve been doing
SAMS NThe van was not clean, and they apologized and wanted to clean it before I took it, but I declined. I was early, and I just wanted to get going. Not their fault.
SUSAN PThe customer service is not good. They ignore details and make it hard to rent a truck.
MATTHEW MStaff on the ball. On line reservation is a bit tedious as UHaul tries to upsell you on insurance and boxes and tape and labour help and storage, screen after screen. Location convenient off the I10.
Mark LI was charged a “cleaning fee” for the vehicle. The vehicle was returned in the same condition it was rented. There should have been no reason for a fee of 25.00 to be charged. I have reached out to U-haul with no response.
TYLER BSomeone in management needs to reach out to me. Cell 714 552 0877
TODD SEasy, quick, the truck was clean and ready except no gas was left in it. Otherwise, a very good experience.
LAURA BGreat employees work in that store always helpful always pleasant all of them are good no exceptions I dealt with every one of them in the office.
AHMAD FI cannot remember the name of the man who helped me at the Palm Desert location, but he was super helpful and very kind. I think he deserves a lot of praise. The location was easy to find and he made the process very easy for me.
