The brakes on this particular truck went to the floor. They did work but I believe the master cylinder needs repkacing.

Did not like how the the truck drove while on my trip. I had warning lights come on the dashboard while on the highway. The truck was not maintained, as well as it had stains and burns on the seats. The truck needs a steering wheel alignment as well.

Somehow, I owe many many fees for reasons that location was not willing to describe why. I refuse to pay until I get an itemized list, and everyone is refusing to answer me. I will not be renting from this place or U-Haul ever again. I’ve had a horrible experience!

No improvement needed. The guy there was a very nice and helpful. The location was also very nice, clean and organized. The chocolate sauce, a very clean and well-maintained, and made it easy for a nice smooth move. in my opinion, it has been the best location experience I have had so far..

I was scheduled to pick up a trailer at 9:00 AM, store opening time. The lady came 20 minutes earlier to prepare for opening, saw me waiting outside and let me in 10 minutes before 9. I appreciate that a lot, she did not have to do this but she did and that means she cares for the customers. I was in a big rush and those 10 minutes meant a lot.

I know it wasn't the fault of the drop off location, but I do have a concern about Uhaul in general. I dropped off the truck 1 day early. It was clean just like when we picked it up in Ann Arbor. My son took photos of the inside of the truck and cab as requested by Uhaul, at the time of drop off. At 2:49 pm on Sunday, September 17th, I received an email saying all was good and there was not any additional charges. Then at 2:59 pm, I received an email saying there would be a $25.00 cleaning charge. I know the truck was as clean as when we picked it up. I believe this is Uhaul's way of getting more money out of it's customers. Because of this, I will not recommend Uhaul to anyone.

Truck sun visor was broken and inoperable. Windshield had a large crack in it affecting visibility. Location attempted to force me to take safemove insurance for a local use 2 hour rental. I was told they would not rent to me if it was not added, even though I declined it in reservation. It was their policy at that location to require insurance for all rentals. I was told I would need to go elsewhere. I will not be back to this location.

Make sure to that all lights are working properly on the car dolly are working properly. No running light and turn signal were not working properly on right side. Should make make sure all equipped is working properly before charging customer for mileage overage, while Uhaul equipment is not working correctly. Could have caused an accident.

We are picking this rental up to transport foods for St. John's United Church of Christ to the food pantry we run. This is something we will be doing once a month. It would be nice if we could get a courtesy discount from your company.

First I ordered an appliance dolly with a strap I received a utility dolly. I then was charged for not sweeping out the truck which I definitely did sweep out the truck. Too bad they have a monopoly on the industry or I would go somewhere else for the rest of my life.

I got there at my reservation time. The truck was not ready for me. The windshield had a complete sheet of ice. I had to sit there for 30 minutes to even get the ice to budge. Even after the fact of waiting, I still couldn’t get the ice off my mirrors, so therefor I could really see while driving. When I went to load up the uhaul, the whole back was completely frozen shut. I had to pour hot water on it and bang on it to get the ice to break. This took another 40 minutes out of my time. When I returned the vehicle the guys was extremely rude even after telling him all of this and said “you rented it”. I don’t think I’ll ever use U-haul again being I had this happen.

Thank you for giving this option of survey. Please, call me or my wife Rachael at 810-525-3688. I do need to speak with someone about our experience at 2701 Howard St, Port Huron MI location. The male employee here- Between my reservation being cancelled, being lied to that the same truck was no longer available just to find out it was, then being told we could only rent it for 4½ hours, also receiving a threat (that same evening) that he would report the truck stolen if not returned. I had extended my time. But I need to share everything about my experience, not to dispute anything. Every communication made with this man was a chore, to say the least nicely. Please, do call me. I request to share my details!! Sincerely, John

I don’t even know where to start. The person there said he did not work for u haul and could not help me. Asked me to back the trailer into a spot that I was unable to get into. Then charged me for not being able to park it in the correct spot. Could not help me I attach the trailer from my truck. Repeated he did not work for u haul. Makes me not want to rent from this company ever again. The worst customer service I have ever had!!

Why do you charge $7 for a Dolley rental that’s so ridiculous lmao. Is that for preventative maintenance on the dolley? So you can get the tires rotated periodically? Makes no sense. Just let me use it for a sec. It’s in the truck anyways yaknow? Those plastic tags are a waste of plastic too. Great service tho aside from that I’ll come back for sure.

Truck was a mess. It did work and run, but the inside door handle was falling apart. The outside was a disaster, it’s hit & rubbed/scraped on multiple things in its past. It needs to be fixed and painted. The dolly and bags secured to the inside of the truck just get in the way, we were left with 3 items that didn’t fit because of those. If I wanted them, I would have purchased them ahead of time. If someone realizes later they need them, that’s their fault and they should drive yo a uhaul location and pick one up. Don’t short change everyone else on room. Trucks should be provided at full gas, you charge people to refill them, but yet you receive them below full and then I overpay on gas because it’s quite difficult to estimate while pumping and still drive it to the drop off location. Stop ripping people off. The pictures provided to show current damage to the truck on checkout are too far away. I was unable to tell from the pictures what damage is already accounted for. When I returned the vehicle, I was told to go to uhaul.com/share to do the after hour vehicle return. The phone number and last name inputs did not show we have a contract. So I was unable to do it there. I called uhaul and did the call me back feature due to the long hold time. I received a text 1 hour later asking how my call with Keisha went from uhaul, I didn’t receive that call back till 2 hours later…. I’m the meantime I went back to my text messages from checkout and realized there was a return vehicle link provided (wasn’t instructed to use that though), which allowed me to return the vehicle. The lady that helped us was very nice and helpful though, we were very pleased with the customer service at checkout.

I was mostly satisfied with the units but for the cost, I shouldn't have to worry about my items being destroyed by mice. I agreed to insurance not realizing it only covers burglary which isn't said when signing the contract. The biggest problem was mice. I had a very expensive mattress and multiple boxes with contents chewed and ruined from mice. For the cost and being an indoor facility, I would expect a more proactive approach. I did not visit the unit often to know mice were such a problem. The fact that I had to pay for a full month even if I moved out a few days into the month was a problem. I understand it may be complicated refunding tenants, but there should be a better solution than charging for a full month. Even only paying for a week would have saved me a lot of money. The staff was always polite so that was the nice part of using this facility.
