Great experience with using U-box. Second time I used. Both experiences were great. This is the best way to go if you are moving to another state. Communication is great and if you need to change pick up or delivery dates, it very easy. Just a phone call away. Thank you Uhaul for providing this service.

Testimonials From Recent Customers
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.
The actual uboxes were in extremely poor condition. They were missing exterior spars and I had to reinforce them myself. These boxes should not be rented in their present condition.
robert cWe used two U-Haul containers for storage during a kitchen remodel project. This really worked out perfectly for us. Both drivers were very skilled in positioning the boxes exactly where they made pack and unpacking efficient and easy. The drivers were very friendly and were always on time. We always received both written notices and calls prior to pickup and delivery. We have already recommended this approach to neighbors. THANK YOU U-HAUL !
Brock DI couldn't have asked or gotten better service. Your people are GREAT! Only thing, get rid of those old wood shipping containers, burn them where they stand.
Larry VEverything was pretty good. Ended up needing another box but overall good experience.
James AMy best experience with uhaul. Prices were pretty clear cut with no 'hidden' charges like is usually common with you guys. The staff at the Hayward location are super chill and total pros too. Really appreciate their help!! I didn't need or open the furniture pads.
RYAN KThe U-Box was original a storage container of Door-to-Door Storage that I rented a long time ago, so some of the categories above don't really apply. Nevertheless, all of my goods in the U-Box were in excellent condition after many years of storage.
Carl KI had nothing but a positive experience with Uhaul from start to finish.
kelli gCost to ship from CA to AL was pricey
Patty YIt was easy to use and affordable.
Alice LMy pod was over two hours late to arrive- I had pre paid movers who had to leave - every time I called for an update I was told a different arrival time. I paid for three separate movers as in had to keep canceling and rescheduling. Very stressful
Hagar BEverything was great!! Thank you so much! This is the fourth time we have used UHaul for moving!
KELLY I1. There seemed to be a lack of coordination between the franchises in California and Oregon and we were quoted three different prices. 2. The delivery person in Oregon, Nancy, was extremely good. She was prompt and was willing to wait 15 minutes for us to unload the container so that an additional trip was not necessary. She was also extremely friendly.
MARK HUhaul Winton was easy, efficient and helpful. Uhaul Athens was lazy, incompetent and lacked professionalism.
rickesha mI’ve worked with several uhaul locations over the years and I’m always surprised and appreciative of how good the customer service is! Thank you so much!
Melissa C✌🏻
Jim SI was completely satisfied.
Howard WThe experience was extraordinary. U-haul made the experience effortless from my perspective. Also, the female drivers were all very impressive.
Susan MOverall great experience. Everything went according to plan.
Katherine aYou guys were great in all things - especially customer service.
Lindell CI am very impressed about the U-Haul service. It was easy to schedule things, talk to someone to get some advice timely, and make some changes as needed. All U-Haul workers involved in my moving process were professional. I will definitely use U-Haul again in the future. Thanks.
Dokyoung YKeep up the Great work!
Lori CThe staff were excellent, especially the person who helped us. Everyone was accommodating. However when I opened my box, three items were missing. My daughter's stroller, big Vase and a todler's recliner.
ROCHELLE SStaff are always helpful. I think the only recommendation is to listen to customers on how many moving blankets are needed. I stated 6 and they brought 24. I sent that back right at delivery, but it was a hassle for the driver.
NANCY SThe only issue was pricing as I received price quote but additional charges for pick up and delivery were not explained. However service was great!!
Helen RThe Box holds more than we expected, we only needed on box for our 1 bedroom apartment
KEITH KThe boxes were great and everyone we talked to was truly so nice. I appreciated everything about the experience, but I wish we were given an arrival window instead of a "guaranteed arrival date." Our belongings came late, which wasn't the end of the world, but we were sort of camping in an empty apartment for 5 days. If we were given a window of time, we would've planned accordingly. We also weren't told they'd be late until the last minute. That was just an overall bummer. The u-boxes were more affordable than other options, but still super expensive and definitely more than we could really afford. It just would've been nice for our things to get there on time - especially since they were in U-Haul's care for 3 whole weeks. Shoutout to Lula in Berkeley (who delivered our empty boxes and picked them up the next day) - she was so awesome, timely, communicative, friendly, and efficient!
Molly VGreat service
Carolina DKeep up the good work! I’m impressed and will recommend using U-Haul as a great option when you need to move.
Barbara DI was billed for an additional month twice in October and not refunded after returning the UBox container on September 27. I was billed in October 15, refunded on October 17, and re-billed on October 18. I have tried to resolve this through calling and emailing
Eric PLJ is very find friendly and made sure all my boxes were brought into my apartment safely.
Seleena VFantastic service at a great price. No frills moving for someone who likes to pad and pack my stuff myself. Will use you guys again in the future. Containers seemed very well taken care of.
Daniel SI had an excellent experience with U-Haul. The prices were competitive, scheduling was always punctual, and all the customer representatives, drivers, and staff I interacted with were helpful and respectful.
Ravi TConsistency in communication is the key. Reach out through phone call and/or text messages. Arrive at the promised time. All these matter. I found uhaul trustworthy through this experience and I will consider ubox next time.
Zeyi WThe office was closed during scheduled business hours. When calling the number posted, the woman was rude and not helpful. Juan, who runs the warehouse and operates a forklift, provided excellent customer service. He personally completed the scheduling each time I needed access and closed out my rental. He was friendly and pleasant to deal with each time I was on site. I appreciate the support he provided.
Laurie ALocks were broken and the staff for months kept calling and trying to deliver on the wrong day
BrIeana BI can't think of anything! We were impressed with the whole process from the start to the end. The communications we received at every point were great.
Sharon FIt is RARE, especially in 2024, to be able to say as many good things as my experience with your U-Box team. Incredibly impressive for a company that is not small. Every single person from Kevin and Colton in CA, to the two people I worked with on the other end in CT, was professional, helpful, easy to communicate and work with! Way to go!!!
Ryan TMaintain your excellent level of service. Thank you!!
Fred CThe customer service i received from Melody and the team was fantastic! I had a fantastic experience and it couldn't have gone better!
MICKEY ANothing to improve
JOHN Gnothing it was an amazing experience and everyone was very friendly and efficient; all the employees which came to collect and drop off the boxes were extremely kind and helpful top notch hospitality and affordable services!
Cheyenne CYour company would give us a time and then we would wait hours afterward for the box to dropped off and pick-up.
Chris wplease make sure to go to the correct UHUAL container location. my uhaul box is in haywood but the crew went to SF instead. apparently, there is a miscommunication between UHAUL and mover which delay my delivery for 1 day.
yuan SEverything was good except for one major thing. They neglected to tell me that my U-Box was bolted shut. I found out when I got to my destination. I had to scramble to did tools as I had none with me. This cause me some delay in my move
Vincent BLula has been great. There were some tough deliveries and she is a boss.
JOHN GContainer was 5 days delayed
anastasiia nUhaul manager and staff at Bryant St. in San Francisco were excellent. Very satisfied. Would recommend.
Hal Scan’t think of anything
David OI had an issue with lock on my first box which was handled but lost me 2 days packing. I spoke to superior management yesterday (Aug 2nd) and it was handled and dissolved. Customer service excellent
Julianne RSeveral of my items are missing. Movers were late and rushing me to get to the next person,m. Will never use U-Haul again
Blessing OI loved the women who delivered my Uboxes. Each one of them was a joy to work with.
Janie AOutstanding Service from gate to gate. Thank you so much.
Jeff SI did a self pickup for two boxes on a trailer. I really wish I knew the staff member's name because he was incredible. From helping to get the trailer hooked up, directions on how to use the ramps, helping remove the trailer once I had finished moving, and updating my account. He made the entire experience fantastic.
Michael CFurniture pads were wet and moldy
Raul GEverything was great!
CARYL CThe staff was very friendly and helpful!
Jessica NLola from Hayward UHaul was incredibly helpful, responsive, and dependable. So grateful she was the driver/employee that I met because she made my UHaul better than ever. She is amazing!

Mark L | Overall ExperienceNothing to write
EDITH H | Overall Experience.
Patrick D | Overall ExperienceThe day before my scheduled pickup the staff called to change the pickup time from 5 pm to 7 am. The woman lied and said that my wife told her this would be okay. She was very rude and unprofessional.
Travis M | Overall ExperienceI only used the u-boxes for storage on my property while doing some remodeling, so I didn't visit the office. The employee who delivered and picked up the boxes was excellent.
Oren R | Overall ExperienceThe communication on the Hayward end was great; o. the DC side we were not told the boxes would be on a trailer. Fortunately we were able to obtain a different space that would permit loading.
Paul D | Overall ExperienceTerrible service and our storage box was infested with mice and destroyed a bunch of what we stored. They charged us $258 to redeliver our box-not disclosed prior-I would NOT recommend this place!!

holly p | Overall ExperienceService was always met with a good attitude.
Shoshanna B | Overall ExperienceI had called the Hayward location several times to request a call back from the manager. I never heard from the manager, so had to resolve the question/issue on my own.
spencer s | Overall ExperienceThis was truly the most frustrating moving experience I ever had, from failing to contact me about closure to not even attempting to take responsibility for the mistake. I'll be filing a claim.
Amy T | Overall ExperienceI will never use u-box again
WILL C | Overall ExperienceYour driver Lula was awesome. Very friendly and courteous. She went above and beyond delivering my pod. Thank you again Lula!!!!
Michael K | Overall ExperienceThis is NOT a negative review of the personnel at Hayward facility. They were overly busy and under-staffed. Phone calls transferred to nat'l call center gave me incorrect information.
marilyn s | Overall ExperienceOur drop off and pickup times were not accomodated. Our u-boxes were infested with mice during storage, which was apparent from the mouse droppings found in our belongings upon pickup.
David W | Overall ExperienceOakland uHaul team is awesome! Lula is superwoman, fielding calls AND picking up and dropping boxes like a rock star. Alphonso (sp?) was also exceptional. New team member Christine was stellar too!
Rebecca P | Overall ExperienceEasy and pleasant Ubox experience. Very convenient. Would do again :)
Carina C | Overall ExperienceVery friendly and helpful staff.
Rehan K | Overall ExperienceYou added fees I was not aware of and held my personal items hostage until a fee that I was not aware of was paid!
ANGIE W | Overall ExperienceThis so far has not responded to me with wrong billing. I never have a " rental for room # AA2637H in Hayward?". I just moved from Fairfax, Virginia to Houston, TX. Don't know why you charged me?
Tri d | Overall ExperienceAccessing my U-Box was not at all easy. I ended up having to make multiple trips to the facility due to miscommunication between the employees and them not being able to locate my box.
Isabella U | Overall ExperienceThere was actually too many issues to explain in 200 characters.
Nathan S | Overall ExperiencePoor communication with many different reps I spoke with. Confirmed my delivery date with reps as time was getting closer and they did not follow through as they said they would. Did not getboxesintim
Ron C | Overall ExperienceService was amazing ! Thank you
Coreen K | Overall ExperienceWhen I was able to talk to the location they were helpful. But, getting in touch with the location was a nightmare - I tried to call dozens of times to set up moving and struggled to reach anyone.
Natalie B | Overall ExperienceThis office could not locate my Ubox. They had me call the National line for UBox. And they did not have my Ubox ready for shipment the day of my delivery, which added a couple extra hours.
Dane M | Overall ExperienceMy entire Uhaul order got messed up and it was nearly impossible to get ahold of anyone to try and fix the problem. The only people that were helpful were those working at the Hayward location.
Carolyn S | Overall ExperienceAll was good
ADAM M | Overall ExperienceHayward and Curtner Ave. CA location people were very helpful in finding my ubox or helping with the move to the Curtner Ave. CA location.

Christina T | Overall ExperienceI was charged for the month after my storage unit was emptied and in order to resolve the overpayment I was transferred to 4 people, spent 30 minutes on hold, and was hung up on.
DANIELE R | Overall ExperienceYour Comments size limit is too small to list all the problems. I am requesting that I NOT be charged $125 for the delivery. If you would like to know the exact reasons, increase this box size.
James P | Overall ExperienceMy unit was saturated with rodents urine and droppings. Alot of my belongings were ruined. I had to dispose so much of my personal belongings.
