All turned out very well. I felt like I was driving one of Jay Leno's jalopies only because I'm only used to a small prius but I adjusted quickly. Thankful for the service!

The only comment I have is maybe warm the the vehicle up. Especially a cargo van like I rented. It took forever to get a little bit of heat in this freezing weather

I had only piece of equipment from uhaul there on-site and to drop at different locations I would have been charged extra money. Uhaul prices jumped 400$ in two weeks? I’ll buy a trailer next time

Location was great. Truck ran 100% fine. Maintenance not lacking. But the truck came over on the Mayflower, had 150,000 miles and could only be so good. Seats were ripped up.

multiple issues with your truck during our travel, wasted time waiting for service for break lines. Roof leaking water and damaged personal items. U-Haul service was supposed to send us a link our some place to send our receipts for our 4 days wasted trying to get service. still getting passed around to multiple service reps and can’t get anything resolved. This was absolutely the worst service I have ever had with u-haul. It was difficult enough driving all over Alaska to pick up U-Haul equipment just to get on the road. Then to have a shitty trip.

There was all sorts of gravel in the Back Bay of the truck. And also I found a used cigarette in the cup holder. It doesn't seem like anybody made sure the truck was clean in between customers. Also I was not able to use the app to check out the vehicle, instead I had to go in and talk to the people even though I had selected the app option.

The truck was in poor condition, with an excessive exhaust leak that was so loud it sounded like it had the catalytic converter removed. If sitting stopped while idling the cab reeked of exhaust. Randy was awesome and very helpful and said he would take care of it when the truck was returned. Ultimately U-Haul needs to maintain their trucks better. This is the second time from two different locations I received faulty equipment from U-Haul.

Because you charged me for $94 for the rent seven of it was for a dolly that I never got and when I said told the guy he turned around and still charged me for the dolly so no I would not recommend this place

The location I picked up the vehicle was great...very helpful, polite, and nice. However, my experience overall with Uhaul was an absolute nightmare...similar to previous experiences. First they changed my pick up location 3 times. When I finally arrived at the "final" pickup location I was informed not only did they not have the Uhaul I reserved, but there was no Uhauls of that size available anywhere in Anchorage. I ended up with a 27' Uhaul instead of a 20' Uhaul which was more difficult to navigate and cost me $600 (!!!!!) more to put on the car ferry to get it to my final destination. All in all, my experiences with Uhaul over the years have always been less than ideal. The individuals I have actually dealt with have been great, the business itself is a poorly managed joke. It amazes me the company hasn't went under as every single time I rent from Uhaul there is an issue. Lucky for Uhaul they are the only option where I live. I will be doing my best to take my business elsewhere in the future.

I usually go to the Old Seward Hwy location. I ended up at this spot because they had the vehicle I desired. And Again I was treated like a rock star! From start to finish. I only feel dumb because it’s like 2 am and I cannot recall the owners name. He was professional, pleasant and upbeat. 5 shining stars! A definite asset to your company!

Randy Was incredibly rude when I called him with an issue with my rental equipment I had pay for extra insurance in case something would happen and he started yelling at me about missing a reservation because The key to the truck was missing and I had not returned the vehicle. He then proceeded to tell me there is no such thing as insurance for the key which I later found out is not true I had this truck for an extra five or six days trying to figure out a way to find the key I even found a police report because I do believe it was stolen nobody i spoke with seem to care about my side of the storyAnd when I finally did get a hold of a human and help me file a claim and then hung up on me and went and picked up the truck without notifying me when they would be there and who is coming I’m extremely dissatisfied and I will not be returning to the business and I would like to talk to corporate about the situation

The check in was extremely unorganized. The mileage was recorded wrong over a 1200 mile difference lucky I was took a picture of the milage before I turned in to the Uhaul returnto prove I did not drive 1200 mile in 24 hours so I would not get charged when I returned. Also the truck smelled like POT when I picked it up to a point in where I opened windows while driving to get the smell out. I will not recommend renting from this location.

This truck was FILTHY! It had a worn, dirty COVID-19 mask under the seat and food spit out on the dashboard, a dirty bloody bandaid on the floor, dried, sticky coffee and other crap in the cup holders and dirt all over the floor inside the cab. The truck storage area was also dirty and had spilled dog food and other debris inside it. The exterior was un-washed and dirty, too. The guy who did the contract work was clueless and explained nothing about the process to me. I will NEVER rent a U-Haul again. I had made my reservation at the Old Seward U-Haul Center location but last minute I received a call to pick up my truck at this location. This location was a car detail place!!! Not a U-Haul rental center but a car detail shop that couldn't even clean the truck!!!!
