I was not able to use this trailer for my trip at all and had to leave at home, wasting the money spent on it. It is a 6'x12' trailer with a ramp on it. I did not even think to click on the "dimensions" button as the dimensions were plain as day in the title. Well, I needed at least 5'5" clearance to load my side by side onto it. I had so many things on my mind when I picked it up that it did not even register to me that the gate opening was too small. I even tested the gate/ramp upon my initial inspection of the trailer to make sure that it functioned properly. My wife went to load it the next morning about 4am for an early departure, and found the problem. I tried to call uhaul and was told that there were not any 6"x12' open trailers without the ramp in the area. Then she told me to call the local number when they opened to have them check and I realized that I would need to go buy ramps to load the SxS. I just decided to search an app that people rent their own personal trailers on and found one to suit my needs. I guess my point is that it may be helpful for future customers if there was some sort of acknowledgment to click that they understand that the opening is not truly 6 feet wide. I had no issues with "Taskers Automotive" where I actually picked up and dropped off the trailer. They had the trailer ready to go, on time, and located in an easy place for me to hookup and go.

Maybe let users of the app know that filling in information online will save time once you arrive at the counter. Other than that, renting a van for the day was quick & easy. Great location for Vista residents.

RICHARD HEfficient drop off
CHRISTOPHER MThe guy I think Max , very friendly! Helpful too !
CYNTHIA PThe site is not a U-Haul store, so they just shuffle units in and out. These closed trailers are older and well worn, nor are they well maintained. I have never seen a new one. There doesn't appear to be any maintenance done on the equipment at that site. My primary factors for selecting this location is they had the requested trailer and the site is closest to my origination point (my house). Would only recommend this location if those two factors are the same for someone else. They were friendly enough, but didn't go out of their way to help me hook-up unless I asked, which I did, because these closed 6' x 12's are pretty heavy.
PHILLIP WThe truck was not swept out before collection
Ian DThe man at the shop was really good. It was smooth with zero issues.
Audrey GThis location was significantly farther than my original drop off location. My drop off location was changed three times from the time I reserved. Due to the location of drop off being changed, I went six miles over my limit, which is unfortunate since it was beyond my control. I had to pay an additional $6. Other than that, the experience was fine.
Eric LI had the best experience ever at a uhaul in this location. 5 stars!
VICTOR N26 ft truck was very dirty in compartment ares
JERRY BStaff was very courteous and friendly. The location is very narrow and there is little or no parking, but we got it done.
CHRISTOPHER RUhaul moved our original pick up location to a place 10 miles away with no compensation for the 20 miles round trip. The guy at the pick up location only helped hookup the large trailer when we asked for help because it was on a slight hill.
Lee HEvery single staff member was helpful and courteous! I am happy I choose this site for my rental!
Joni PVery smooth process Thanks a Bunch!!!!
Joseph WSide mirror (a safety feature) was loose and rotating. Check engine light was on. Did not provide paperwork for gas levels in the truck. Did not mention after hour return was additional $20.

Ernesto AWhen I made my reservation by phone, I told the rep when I would be returning the trailer and she notified me the facility would be closed but I would still be able to drop.off the trailer using the Uhaul app. On pickup day, I met with Oscar. He got me processed for pickup. I also let him know I would be dropping off on Sunday and he did not notify me of any special instructions for drop off. On drop off day, I arrive to the site and both gates were chained. I had to fish my way through to the corporate number that handles this location. I told them the situation and they said I could just leave it outside the gate. I asked if she could email or text me a release of liability since I was there when I said I would be, to drop off, but now had to leave it outside (in a questionable neighborhood) at my own risk. She said she could not do this. Because I only had use of the vehicle I used to tow the trailer until that evening, I was placed in a major bind. I decided to leave the trailer at their front gate bc they have cameras facing that area. The drop off took over an hour while I sorted out the details and how to. I don't appreciate the lack of communication or the added stress of the drop off portion of the transaction and feel that it is fair and resonable to receive a promotional credit to compensate me for the risk I took on and stress it caused. Very unprofessional on Tasker Automotive's park and also on the UHaul rep that didn't have special drop-off instructions for their authorized rental site.
jason lThis van smelled so bad that we if we didn’t need to make a delivery right away, we would have left and found another vehicle for sure. We sprayed lysol inside but the smell still didn’t go away. It smelled like a dog had pooped all over it. It was filthy as well. When we brought it back, both employees were on the phone. I said excuse me, that van… one of the guys stopped me and saiid, “It stinks, right?” and the other guy just shook his head. I’m sorry. Isn’t it their responsibility? The van was awful. The service was awful. An all in all terrible experience.
Eral HTaskers was great. Uhaul screwed us on the truck reservation and caused the loss of an expensive antique. Will be emailing corporate.
Robert DI was waiting at the front desk for 10 minutes before anyone came to the front desk. The gentlemen there was not prepared and a little rude when I asked question. Required some sort of signature for a rental that I’ve never had to due before. Strongly believe it was him pressuring me to buy the insurance for the trailer.
emanuel mInside windows needed cleaned. Over all it was in good shape
Theresa dEmpty gas truck, check engine lamp on, difficult mobile pick up, unfriendly customer support
Marcelo IBe more attentive.
GARY CEvery thing went smoothly until check in, but it was handled. Transmission issues, heavy exhaust smell in the truck, it took 13 hours to do what is normally a 6-7 hour Drive. I did advise Oscar of the transmission problem on Monday 12/27/2023, he did advise he would call me as of today I have not been advised if I can get a discount on the charges.
Susan TI appreciate the quick and convenient assistance. Only had that truck for a few hours and it was smooth drop off.
Larry LFix the Uhaul app and have better live help!
sergio sThis is an excellent location in Vista to rent from uhaul. Easy to get to and the service is really great.
james gEverything was fine but I can't stand these review requests for every single thing! Review your robocall experience, dentist visit, online purchase experience, parking, shopping, tv delivery, EVERYTHING! Again - location service was great but I don't want to receive these review requests. And you always ask the wrong questions so I'll give the wrong answers. Thanks
Kimmo RTruck, exterior and interior was not clean
Andre Hgreat service. Thanks.
sei mThe U-haul system was down and the process took longer then expected but Mac at Taskers was very polite and professional and handled the situation well.
STEVEN EThe van was unsatisfactory, filthy! Had to clean it the best I could as I had an event scheduled to move fashion clothing and furniture.
Darrell BOscar was at first rude. I walked in to his office, told him I was here to return the truck and needed a receipt. He then said he was busy doing something else and that he would return it once he was done and that I would get it in my email. Well I expected a paper receipt for my taxes.. I have never been told that they were to busy to help a customer out. I’ve been in customer service for 56 years and I know that customers come first no matter what the employee is doing. Because in the long run no matter what you’re doing when the customer walks into a business, you leave what you are doing to help that customer in what their needs are. Because that chore you were doing before that customer walked in will still be there when you get back to it. In the last two months, I have rented two trucks from U-Haul to move. And even rented a storage. I Have paid a lot to do so. And I feel like I will need to second guess about using U-Haul again. Maybe retraining might be a way to teach your employee better customer service.
lola rProbably one if the best places i’ve ever been. The customer service from marc (I believe that was his name). He was awesome, personable, and very nice. I’ve dealt with probably 10 different Uhaul places ranging from CA to SC and his customer service alone is the best.
Jose UGreat service. Excellent staff.... We'd rent there again
james gThe location was very cramped with a lot of cars. Made it tricky to get in and out.
Ben CBetter customer service..
john BI reserved online. I arrived at 9am to pick up the trailer. The attendant was dismissive and slow. It took an hour and he didn’t do the safety light inspection. Disgraceful
Cheryl BI had to park outside of the gate due to the holliday. The drop off instructions were easy but there was limited space to leave the truck outside of the gate.
Jamil AAsked and paid for a dolly but it wasn’t given to me or put in the truck. By the time I got to my destination to move stuff opened the back and there was nothing nicer priced and I helpful
JOAQUIN MYour app totally sucks and your customer service is poor no answer to my chat and your system lost my record. Disappointing.
Dan ADidn’t understand why I was charged full amount upfront when I was told I would be charged the rest after trailer was brought back. Trailer had multiple dents and some cracks. The problem itself was not the place I rented from but uhaul it’s self. As a whole taskers automotive was very helpful and professional.
Austin NTook a long time to get the truck. The truck was dirty. Treated like he had much better things to do.
Skyler WOscar was very helpful
Mark BThe truck was very filthy. I cleaned the seat and surrounding area with antibacterial wipes in order to sit on it
Rosette TAgain, had to be redirected from my drop off location I selected on line - about ten miles away. Again, no consideration for the fuel I used for the truck and the pick up vehicle. Drop off location was a mechanic shop. Personnel were friendly, but again a much different experience than a normal U-haul location that I'm used to.
Karl CA very pleasant and positive experience
MAC GI had my wife pick up the 5x8 trailer and after shorting out and blowing my fuses for the trailer plug they sent her home at night without any trailer lights working. This angered me as to the situation she could have been in if something went wrong. VERY unprofessional and dangerous! I replaced the fuses and we had to get loaded and on the road or else I would have taken it back and raised hell with them. I am VERY unhappy about this situation.
Timothy KThe staff at Taskers are excellent. Keep up the good work
Patrice CNice people. Facility too small. No room to maneuver or park.
Todd WPiss poor fucking dealer! No people skills, lies, and is a complete scammer trying to steal money from people as well!
Tiffany TThe wind shield was filthy. and when I cleaned them, the windsheild blade fell off, I had to clean out the cab before I could have my wife drive with me.
Craig MThe staff was friendly and helpful. The only issues I had were with the U-Haul website on checkout. Since the U-Haul agent wasn't available to check me out, I had to do the checkout online. The website would not let me log in on my phone using Safari, as I kept getting errors in that it could not send me a code. I eventually used a different browser (Chrome) and got it to work. Then, at the end of checkout, it said that the receipt would be in my email, but it didn't show up until the next morning. I even had trouble logging in to the website on my laptop using both Chrome and Edge. I eventually logged in and was able to print my receipt.
John ZThe attendant wasn’t very informative or helpful. They had parked vehicles at the entrance that made it difficult to enter. The trailers were staged in an area that were opposite the entrance, so you were facing the wrong way after hooking it to your vehicle. I found the facility to look like a vehicle graveyard.
RUBEN VGood quick service. Thanks
Kenneth HVery nice people
Frank ENot helpful with delivery, equipment not clean, bad attitude from manager
Donald CGreat service. Robert hooked and unhooked me. He guided me well for hook up. Appreciate you guys. Thank you.
