Have the equipment where it supposed to be, not behind a locked gate. I reserved to.pivk up at 8 o'clock but it was 9 o'clock when am employee finally came to help me I could not find my assigned truck, the key box took 2 wrenches to open ito get the keys. You put me behind schedule waiting for an hour. The app didn't work, I tried the website and it was not working correctly. Your employees should have the trucks prepared to match the reservations.
Lisa GMake sure you charge for the correct tow dolly. I just needed on for the car but got charged for on that fits a truck
MELISSA TThank you.
elena s | Overall ExperienceGot in and out in like 20 minutes. Might need more training for one way uhuals though
danielle mThere were more customers in the morning than there was staff to handle. It took 30 minutes to get someone to hook up the trailer to my truck. They were very competent and fast when they finally got to serve me.
Stephen RVery smooth return process. Representative very kind and friendly.
Edward BMy storage look like the ceiling is caving in, and some of my things have been getting wet
Robert B | First ImpressionsGreat customer service. Professional. I wouldn’t rent anywhere else in the Peoria I’ll area.
WILLIAM NThe location I use is VERY busy. Even though they are very busy they are always polite, courteous, and answer all of my questions. They could use an extra person to answer the phones though.
THOMAS VExcellent Service!
Eric MI've used this store many times and never had problem. Great hardworking staff.
ROBERT JMaybe the persons should be a little better manners but over all k
Maria CHelpful and friendly
JUSTIN WI requested a utility dolly but none was available. This could be a problem for some customers.
Stephen YDirty interior. Employees not very knowledgeable and the woman working the desk inside was rude.
Alesha Every slow work on computer kept me waiting 45 + min to rent trailer , same worker on return very slow
BRIAN MOn pick up my son had to pay for the rental because UHaul said my card was not on file with them. I ordered the UHaul on line and included my credit card information. Was awkward for my son. .
Dedria GWhen I arrived, I followed the signs to the rental return location. There was nobody there to greet me. As I walked to the building, a gentleman told me to take the trailer to a different location in the parking lot and unhook the trailer there. I asked, "You want me to unhook the trailer over there?" he said yes. I asked if he was going to unhook the trailer and he again told me to take it over there and unhook it. Now, I've rented the same sized trailer twice before at different locations, but this is the first time the staff didn't unhook the trailer for me, didn't inspect the cleanliness of the inside of the trailer, didn't inspect the trailer for damage, etc. So, I went to the area in the parking lot I was told to go, but there was no clear designated trailer spot to put it. I backed up near a curb. It was a challenge getting the safety chains disconnected and it took both my wife and I to get the trailer off the ball. At the point, the trailer rolled away from us where it slipped out of our hands and the trailer wheels slammed into the curb. Our hands were dirty. I had not expected to provide my own return service.
CHESTER TGood service
JAMES Mfast and easy check out, fast return of equipment, I had no trouble using the Car Dolly.
DANIEL OThe trailer we rented was not clean at all it was full of leaves and broken glass and just trash
JOSEPH GAfter getting in the truck and driving off I realized they had not done a deep check of the truck. The right turn signal had a bulb out and there was trash under the seat and behind the seat, even a hat from someone.
Nathaniel HI always receive the best service at this location. I guess the only recommendation would be to make sure there is enough help. The person helping with me with my rental (sorry I didn't get his name) had 3 or 4 people come in, 3 lines ringing & he handled it all with grace. I wanted to also rent another unit but decided to get that later so he could answer those calls & take care of the people behind me. I also want to say the manager of the Meadowbrook location was amazing & helpful. Thank you James!
BOBBI BStop taking multiple deductions out of my account 3 to 4 days after I bring a truck back early, yesterday it was one thing today it made my account lower , really doesn't make any sense you taking different sums out I want it stopped!!
RICHARD SProvide a minimal level of customer service rather than none.
James FI am a regional manager for Perkins next to this facility and the gentleman who helped me both days does not follow directions. My boss and I who is VP of operations were closing down a store and needed two U-Haul trucks. We had him adjust our truck size and pick up day but he completely botched the drop off locations and whether we are going one way or out of town. He told me there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t figure out the issue and then proceeded to blame me for his mess up. We usually rent up to 20 trucks a year and we always use U-Haul but we will no longer.
DEVIN VJohn does a great job
STEVEN CCheck out the charging system for a day and a half the warning flashing light would come on saying that the van charging battery is not working.
RICHARD SI know it must seem like I'm randomly pushing buttons, but I am genuinely grateful for the people at this location; they made everything clear and handled business in short order. Damian was very nice.
ALFRED MMy last 2 rentals the vans are very dirty, today's rental had a lot of mud on the floor mats and door entry. Your location is very convenience, the care of your units has not been good lately. I thank you for great service.
JERELENE RHad a lot of inconvenience with the storage shutter not staying in place when opened. Also unhappy that when I'm ending my storage rental, the monthly rent paid cannot be prorated.
Anirban M | Overall ExperienceI was worried that I didnt follow regular return procedure through app and that I overestimated my miles. But I was charged only for the miles I drove and not doing the 'return my truck' didn't cause problems. Appreciate that it was a hassle free experience
Anirban MNothing
TINA BRented out a uhaul with only one side of working lights
TARA YI don't know
ROBERT WStaff was friendly and helpful. Good experience.
STEVEN CI had people waiting for me and there was very little gas. It said 27 miles as soon as I got it. So I had to buy gas and had people on the time clock waiting for me. I do not understand why 1/4 tank is target vs full tank like rental cars.
DOUGLAS WMake sure gas levels are what you say they are before pikup
FRANK HFilthy truck I asked them for a clean one and it wasn't by far clean at all , key fob was taped to get her where I had to work with the key to get the ignition to turn on.
RICHARD SEveryone was inviting and helpful! Great help
RICHARD Wsmall bits of broken glass and trash in the equipment dropoff area. People very friendly and helpful, though.
JOHN KThank you for being straight up with me about prices and what to expect.
CHRISTOPHER SPlease Remind the customers of the hours on Sunday. if they have to return the truck on a Sunday at 6 and this location closes at 5 and then charge a after hour fee. This situation happened to me yesterday
AMANDA EConvenient location, fast service.
NILESH TThe gentleman that waited on me was very friendly.
VICKIE KI used the truck it was ok.
LYNDA KThe only thing is, if you are a few days late getting stuff out. They do not prorate. You pay the whole month.
julie g | First ImpressionsThis car hauler trailer made hauling a car 3 hours very easy!
STEVEN CYou have an awesome group with them one here in Peoria on university they took very good care of us. Thank you so much.
BETH BIf you want to be called a lier talk to the manager
MICHELLE DTAKE PICTURES OF YOUR ODOMETER AS THEY CHARGED ME FOR 293 MILES WHEN I ONLY DID 85!!!!!
CHARLOTTE WHeadlights on truck didn't work called was put on hold never talked to anyone
Vickie B | First Impressionshave an attendant accompany the renter to confirm the condition of the truck, mileage and answer any questions when handing over the key.
Timothy HThe man at the counter yesterday was exceptional. Nice younger man with longer dark hair. He explained everything well and even came out to make sure the tailor was attached correctly. Easy process and definitely will use them again.
RANDALL WStay the same friendly helpful
MAURICE BThe staff has been awesome and always very helpful. Everything was easy access.
Gena M | Overall Experiencebilling is screwed up
GARY WTruck was not clean. I warmed truck up in cold. Store is not the same. Clean and maintain fleet.
PAMELA WService was great and the whole experience was streamlined. I know we’re a weed free society, but maybe not have your employees blaze up in the point of sale area. Sends the wrong message
JOHN WTrailer was not checked in properly by employees when I returned it. I now have to pursue a refund for the overcharge.
JOEL HThe guy that was working the register was extremely helpful and absolutely amazing! I didn’t catch his name but he is such a nice person! Perfect fit for this kind of job!!
Josie S | First ImpressionsJames and his team did an excellent job accommodating our U-Box pic up. He was there on Sunday to drop the trailer/u-box so I can pick it up to load and returned the next day. Overall very excellent experiences.
YAN CGood location, good people to deal with, will use again
THOMAS HPlease thank the man that checked us in. I apologize that I did not get his name. He was very professional and nice to work with. Our experience was a good one. Happy Holidays
LAURIE RThe staff was always friendly and helpful. I rented units for 11months and no issues. I will recommend to everyone.

LL T | Overall ExperienceMy belongings were very dusty and dirty when we came to pick my things up. We reserved a climate controlled unit but it was given to another customer. However, James was the ONLY reason we kept our reservation! He was so helpful and accommodating! We would come back again just becuase of JAMES!!! Thanks!

Nicole M | First ImpressionsThank you
Christina Q | Overall ExperienceEveryone was very helpful and delightful
Ashlyn R | First ImpressionsI couldn't even access code to get into the storage unit to unload my truck, it's still have my items on it, and I have to wait until the morning
Tiffany T | First ImpressionsThanks you
manuel s | Overall ExperienceThey staff was curious and well informed. They made the whole process easy and quick.
Charles G | Overall ExperienceI wasn't told that the storage closes at 10 so my access was denied and now I have to pay 10$ more for 24 hour access that's fine I just wasn't aware of it so I had to wait a while for after hour person which made my return of my truck late
Bryanna H | First ImpressionsThe staff was fantastic, and so helpful! The front office was clean as were the restrooms. However, when we opened the unit, there was broken glass on the floor. Thankfully we had a broom and dustpan in the trailer, so it wasn’t tracked in with my belongings.
jennifer b | First ImpressionsI was very impressed with the quality of service that was provided!
leah g | First ImpressionsI needed a storage unit right away and the storage at university was perfect with the perfect people to handle my need , I will always go back thanks a bunch 🙏
JOSE A | Overall ExperienceVery friendly and helpful staff
Andrew B | First ImpressionsThere was an older lady that checked me out when getting my last rental truck. She seemed annoyed, irritated and not friendly. Her tone of voice and facial expressions was unwelcoming.
Cassidy G | Overall Experiencekept charging me for a unit i moved out of.
Julian S | Overall ExperienceI was very pleased and happy, the STAFf Very HELPFUL every time I was there.. Excellent Job!!!!! Thank You very much!!!!!! Rate them a 💯!!!!!

Virginia E | First ImpressionsCrew was very professional thank you all.
manual s | Overall ExperienceJust keep up the good work and the staff was excellent and yes I would recommend This U-Haul to everyone and thank you so very much. PS this how I spell my name Singerton Tate.
singlton t | First ImpressionsOur unit was half filled with someone else’s belongings
Daniel F | Overall ExperienceI originally chose a smaller storage unit but decided to upgrade to a larger one. The staff took care of this quickly. However, once I entered the storage unit, I saw leftover items from the previous renter. I did call the office to let them know that I'd pulled out all the leftover items. When I returned later that day to begin storing my items, the previous tenant's items were still outside the storage unit. Otherwise, this was a quick and easy experience. Thank you.
Claudia R | First ImpressionsJason was great to work with!
STEPHEN D | First ImpressionsThe prices raised every 6-months to a year. Got to be to much so moved our stuff. Clean secure place.
SUSAN S | Overall ExperienceFor some reason, this company kept on emailing me even though I contacted them stating that the email had on file was not the correct email for the person renting their unit. I have never been to Illinois, and they refused to update it to the actual person renting it. Completely unprofessional. I feel bad for the person who was actually renting the unit, who probably never got a single notification.
greg s | Overall ExperienceAll staff was very friendly and helpful. Unit was dry and clean. I highly recommend their facility
Debra L | Overall ExperienceAnthony and his staff were professional, friendly and a source of assistance whenever we came to access our unit or to reserve a vehicle. It was personal and a well organized office. We will continue to seek services there for any moving needs we have. We moved our storage unit because we changed residence. It’s much more convenient. We enjoyed our experience with the University U-Haul facility and look forward to using them again. Anthony and his team were true friends.
john h | Overall ExperienceLove your service ❤️ Thank you 😊
doris l | Overall ExperienceVery professional and felt confident that my Mother possessions where safe.
MITCHELL B | Overall ExperienceThank you, it was the perfect storage unit-I wound up not moving. Shawna was your #1 employee. TJ went above & beyond showing me where & how to use the keypad when the gate was suddenly closed one day. Some of the male employees need more training in customer service & to be taught to not be so lazy (only a few of them).
BROOKS B | Overall ExperienceThe employee that not quite helped me was very unpleasant to deal with. Overall a very unpleasant initial experience dealing with that particular individual. Everyone else was great though so I was just unlucky I guess. My second visit was what should be expected however. Management was pleasant helpful and very professional so good job to that guy. The first guy really sucked though, he needs to work on it all or find something else to do.
Julia S | First ImpressionsNobody explained anything properly and some people just have stank attitudes
lashay p | Overall ExperienceWhen you cal you are ALWAYS put on hold. Very frustrating. It is clean but like everything else rates increase frequently.
SUSAN S | First ImpressionsI had this unit for 3 months. From day one all the employees were friendly and very helpful. I would have like longer access hours but made do. I would recommend this facility to all my friends..
June F | Overall ExperienceCustomer service is everything!!! Velma was AWESOME!!! Will recommend!!
santana v | Overall ExperienceI lost the key to my unit and explained that I haven’t even used the storage unit. I asked them to just cut the lock and bill me for the month I had used it. The manager refused and started cussing at me. Telling me that he will continue to bill be until I find my key and get my stuff out. They now say I owe them $1500 in fees. WORST PLACE EVER!
jessica k | Overall ExperienceVery professional! Look
BRENDA F | First ImpressionsVery bad experiences poor customer service skills do not communicate with you when you are communicating with them calling don't answer emails they actually do not find it OK when you close out and do not want storage they continue to harass and charge you for things that you do not want they are very very bad when you speak to them they speak down to you they do not communicate with you asked for a conversation they are very poor services I actually did not want the service anymore they have received a payment and was told to destroy Or remove items that was there They were no longer wanted to be thrown in the garbage and instead of doing so they decided to keep charging me so that they could still money from my account
lorrina p | Overall ExperienceAnthony’s customer service was top notch! The facility where you could drive inside the building was amazing-I would highly recommend this service and facility.
Leslie P | First ImpressionsFacility needs more staff went there one day there was 1 person on their busiest day of the week how do we considerable amount of time just to ask a question. Later in the day when the rush was over they had multiple people there working. Whenever I called I had to wait on hold extensive amount of time.. Staff was nice and courteous.
Dan M | Overall ExperienceIt wasn't explained that I had to take pitchers of the unit and go on line and dhow I was out of my unit. I then received an email telling me I needed to pay my rent Which I emailed back that I gave been out of my unit and turned in my key since September 23 as I knew the rent was due on the 24th, and I knew I could get a unit where my other things are for $40 vs $114. My unit for the $40 is a 5x10. So there was no way I was paying $114 for that tiny unit. I then got treating email to be assessed late fees on top of rent. Earlier I apparently went over on my miles was told when I returned the truck that I was good to go. Then I see where you took $40 extra besided the $31 I owed out of my checking account without notice, as I checked my emails at the time I seen you took the money out and there was none. I called and the manager said the would have it turned which it was about 10 business days later and after my automatic payments bounced due to the extra $40 that caused bounced check fees of $20 2x's and bounce check fees on my automatic payments. So taking this extra $40 ending up costing me an extra $80. So no I will only use you if I have to and nor recommend you to anyone.
KATHERINE J | Overall ExperienceVery friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. Highly recommend.
lori c | Overall ExperienceThe general manager was super rude and non caring for his customers
AMBER B | Overall ExperienceVery professional staff!
Antoinette K | First ImpressionsI called the day before and the man said he would reserve a van for me and call me back. He never called me back nor make the reservation for the van. Luckly they had one the next day. I also feel as if your storage is really high after the free 30 days I already rent a full storage unit over twice as big for $40 a month however they had no units available at this time hoping they do at the end of the 30 days or my divorce is final
KATHERINE J | First ImpressionsThe general manager razi is racist called me weird because he didn’t explain himself correctly so when I corrected him he got upset and spoke on Americans as if he’s not in our country smh the things we have to endure for service
AMBER B | First ImpressionsAnthony, one of the managers was so helpful & knowledgable. Thank you for hiring capable individuals that ENJOY their job, it reflects on your business/corporation.
lori c | First ImpressionsWILL USE HAUL AGAIN!!!

LORIN S | First ImpressionsGreat staff
Hamza M | Overall ExperienceThe policies of this company are designed to screw people over. They will not reason with you. They may go as far as to try to manipulate and intimidate you. Everyone I know who has dealt with them has said as much.
anthony p | Overall ExperienceAn efficient pleasant experience!
ricky j | First ImpressionsGreat staff at the University location!!!
shontique l | First ImpressionsUnit leaked when it rained. I had roaches in my United which I never had at home . I was told by a worker that he would clean out the storage that I keep getting billed for.

JUSTIN R | First ImpressionsI received 2 past due notices,after we had cleared the unit,including a notice sent to my son!! We were paid until August 8th!!
kathryn d | Overall ExperienceGood Job Guys
timothy l | First ImpressionsThe reason why I said average cause the manager were very very rude, don't know how to communicate, very smart mouth, every body that's go get a uhaul or storage from there, he slow and very rude, the line be very long cause he very very slow, next time I will be taking my business else where, he still charge me for the unit, but I moved my stuff out feb 4, 2020, didn't take the lock off and I came in to talk to him about it, he was rude to me in front of customers and I was embarrassed about the situation cause their were other people around, thank you
dorothy l | Overall ExperienceThe only thing I was very upset with was when my girlfriend and I called the call center, we were told one thing and the prices were cheaper than what was posted when we went to purchase the storage unit. We were told there was a 7x5 storage locker and it was air controlled. We were quoted 75.00. When I got there the other uhaul facility was a mile away and with the coronavirus I did not want to be going everywhere. I purchased a 12x5 unit. For 109.00 a month. This part I was very upset because we were given different info. The employees at the uhaul were very professional and nice. I would like a response as I am very angry about the inconsistent pricing and info. Your call center gives out verses the actual information that is given out.
buffy f | First ImpressionsStorage closes too early and I got locked n the gate, due to a malfunction.
JENNIFER W | First ImpressionsWas mad because I moved my stuff out on the 13th and didn't get non of my money back I left my storage Clean,ever other storage give u your money back if u move out early thanks the only thing
