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.

When 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.

I 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!

I 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.

I 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.

For 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.

Anthony 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.

The 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.

It 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.

The 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.
