It was an overall excellent experience. Because I had used U-Haul before, it took no time at all to rent. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and quick. Not to mention I got to take a look at a pretty awesome store there too.

Initially scheduled online pickup at different location that was somehow disregarded…had I not called to attempt to change pickup time… would have never known my online reservation that I thought was locked in with a credit card and followed with confirmation emails and texts got cancelled… that was extremely disappointing.

I was very impressed with the owners of The Shed. They were very helpful and understanding of my difficult situation. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to rent a truck or trailer. Preston Gruening

Lady who dispatched trailer seemed put-off to have to stop “running her store” in order to dispatch trailer to me. Looked at me as if I was stupid for not getting insurance after I told her I checked with my auto insurance and was definitely cover for any loss to rental trailer. Not horrible experience …..just seemed that UHaul rentals not the most important thing on her to-do list. Trailer great!! Price great!!! Drop off Great!!! Would certainly rent again if needed.

Ed and his staff at the Shed are phenomenal to work with. Unfortunately, I plan on scaling back on my rentals due to the recent UHaul price increases.

Vehicle needs an alignment, pulls to the right. And a piece came off the lower mirror on the driver's side...thankfully had some tools along, so was able to get mirror so that it was functional. Overall, Ed at the Shed is awesome to rent from! 3rd u-haul that we've rented from him!!

The truck was not assigned to me when I got there so I had to wait 20 minutes on hold to get someone to help me. When I finally got a truck, it was not in amazing condition but it had to do and I was missing furniture pads which I ordered.

The Shed is the most friendly and professional place we’ve dealt with (many military moves). The equipment was great, the process was simple and not pushy (like the one on Hastings). We avoid the U-Haul store in EC at all costs.

They were convenient for me and ready for me when I arrived for pick-up. They had the unit parked with a jack stand for easy hook-up as the unit does not come with it's own jack stand & the tongue weight is pretty heavy.

There was nothing wrong with the service I received- very easy process and friendly helpful service. I AM disappointed that my reservation of the truck was changed to this location, as it is MUCH further from my home, and made for increased mileage to be paid for. :(

Truck made weird, rumbling noises when shutting down, other weird noises when braking or releasing the brake. Ridiculous that there are no power equipment with the truck that size, mirrors windows seats. Uhauls computer system is horrible and would not work for me for all the times I used it. Hated it. The owner of the Shed is a real nice man. I enjoyed doing business with him. It took me 3 locations to find one that had what your system said it had. This location is great. Uhaul is not. .

From not living in the city, The Shed, was easy to find and having a reservation to use a 10’ truck was even easier. I would recommend using U-Haul at The Shed.

Ed was very nice and easy to work with. I would suggest checking to make sure the gas tank is full before it goes out. We picked up after hours so we took a photo of the gas being just over half full along with the outgoing mileage for proof when we returned it that it wasn’t full when we picked it up. Other than that it was good.

The App couldnt "find" my shared location. I had to go to the website to try to pick up. Finally I got the password for the lock, no key. It took me 45 minutes to get a key out of one of the boxes after I called customer service. 10 minutes hold time before an answer and then she put me on hold again. I had to open all 5 key boxes to find a single key for a truck in a size I didn't order/want. Overall a bad checkout experience. Returning the truck should have been easy, but again, the App couldn't "find" my shared location so I had to log in again on the website. Then it wanted 6 pictures of the truck after I was already by the key drop. I didn't touch the dolly I had to pay $7 and lost an hour of my rental due to a key not being in the right place. Overall, not great.

The AFM should ensure quality of equipment is up to customer and Uhaul standard considering it is a dealer and not a center, having worked for uhaul and am now a customer, the customer should not need to reroute for things like brake fluid or to fix tire pressure of trailers. Ed does his best while being the only employee while running his business and a dealer at the same time, thankful he was the one we dealt with instead of his wife. Ed helps with trailer hookups, customers have to hook up on their own when his wife is around. If I had not worked for the company in the past, this is something that should be considered a concern to UHAUL for customers with no experience.

Excellent rental experience using "The Shed" location. First time using the mobile app. Pick up/drop off. After using it, it will go better in the future. Could be more user friendly.
