The 2 employees who helped me when I both picked up & dropped off the vehicle were very friendly, courteous & efficient.
Stephen GudauskasSee above
Joseph MarianiI think you’re doing a great job
LOREN WITTKEI have rented many times and I have always had a great experience with the people and rentals. I tell all my freinds and family that this is the place to go for there rental and packing needs!
Sharron OquinnEverything went smoothly as expected
Edward TeisterThe online reservation process was easy and the staff at the location very helpful. I would use this location again, should the need arise.
Arte PeloteOn-line process to pre-register was easy, the counter staff was friendly and the vehicle pick-up & return was quick and easy.
Kevin OwensTruck was in much better shape than the last one. Updated trucks would be nice. Back up cam. Phone connectivity. Auto lights
Joseph Mariani | First ImpressionsGood experience
John KnowlesThe staff at the Antioch store was helpful. However the timing of the Ubox pick up and drop off in Texas was not even close to what the contract stated. My box was picked up before I even had it filled and had to have them track it down and bring it back to the location. Timing of the pick up and drop off should abide by what the contract states.
Jared SummersGreat staff willing to work with you highly recommended
Ronald Jackson | Overall ExperienceNo enough place to park the truck while returning
Rasiah KumarTrailer license plate sticker was out of date
BRETT KUSTERThe tire straps, the ratcheting part was very rusty and I was barely able to get the strap loose. But other than that it was good
Justin SmithI had to wait 20mins before staff showed up at the register. I hit the bell at least 4 times.
JOHN MCADORYThe service here is great but there was a light out and the back right tire had a leak went flat twice, had to waist time and miles to find a station with air pumps that worked.
DAVE SEWELLThe Rep that set us up for the rental pick-up was terrific, as he has assisted me previously on another U-Haul rental but can tell you the young man that checked us in on Sunday morning was an embarrassment to U-Haul and for any customer to have to deal with. He was rude and not one ounce of professionalism. Would never have him representing anything I took pride in, as he would make you NEVER want to return to your facility.
Jeff PhillipsI took a pic of the gas gauge prior to leaving. Drove 50 miles, put 11.00 worth of fuel and still got charged 15.00!!! Wtf? Never again. Penske all the way or budget
Kyle StiversonThis is the second time I have came to this location to rent a truck and had to deal with Anthony Z on the rental. He is very rude and disrespectful. When the truck was returned it had a small bit of mud in it from raining for the past week and we cleaned it the best we could in the cold weather. Anthony informed us that he was going to charge us a cleaning fee if we didn't clean it out more. I proceeded to clean out the truck with the very little supplies that i was provided. He still charged a fee which was completely unacceptable due to the fact that it was cleaned out again upon return. I run a business and have rented multiple trucks for various Uhaul's and this is by far the worse one that I have dealt. Dealing with this employee has made me start to look for another alternative. This man has no right being in customer service since he clearly doesn't know the meaning of it.
Sarah GrigsbyI spent an hour cleaning and shoveling the back of the trailer. The trailer had at least 3 inches of ice and snow. I see I was given a 10 credit for doing what was suppose to be done by the center.
MIGUEL CORTEZAll the staff were friendly and helpful!
lisa reeves | Overall ExperienceGreat customer service
Rick KoscinskiMake sure all associates know where the trucks and trailers are parked…I waited over a half hour for the associate to tell me that he was going to grab the truck and then was helping another customer…
Edward SelepI somehow got a free month of Storage I never used and got some crazy stupid bill I never asked for. I’d Never recommend this store to anyone.
tim leber | Overall ExperienceI started with U-Haul. I needed to add another key card. I went at least 6 times to do so and the staff was NEVER able to get me another key card, stating that either the machine was broken or that they did not know how. So I was given a code (which I did not prefer). Then at the end of the lease, I paid for my last month, and I came in to say that I was ending my relationship with U-Haul. If I ended today, would I still be able to get in for the last 30 days of the lease that I paid to get my stuff out. I was told yes, so I terminated that day, intending that I have my paid period to get my stuff out at my leisure. 30 minutes later when I tried to get in, I was locked out and had to get help to get in to get my stuff. Inconvenient for me and incompetent on the part of the U-Haul staff
anthony campanale | Overall ExperienceThe only thing was that i was charged for furniture pads but never received them. I didn't have time to check the truck as i was anxious to get the truck to my moving location to begin moving before the sun went down.
Matthew KubekGreat customer service. Very friendly and knowledgeable
Marc TrznadelThe drop off was fast and easy, greeted quickly and on my way in 2 minutes.
JEFF OVASKAEasy and convenient place to access and store my daughter’s things short term.
Patty Kasbohm | Overall ExperienceWorking with Uhaul has truly been a joy. All personnel were professional and pleasant. It was easy.
WALTER PEDERSENWhat a great staff! Everyone on the staff that I worked with were patient and kind. The moving truck was clean and the storage space is spotless.
Daisy PerezThe attendant was rude, he gave us a truck with a different plate and info then was on the paper receipt he printed us and when we notified him he said yea i know and would not print us a new receipt. When we came back to return the truck he wanted us just leave the truck, I asked for a receipt with all the correct info since he could not produce it when we picked it up, he got upset and yanked the keys out pf our hands and stomped away.
Santo Lara RosarioRent trailer from Wednesday to Sunday. Return trailer on Sunday and uhaul charged me for extra day Monday???
Virgis ValeikaNothing. I was thoroughly satisfied. When the first trailer I rented was not fit for my move (ramp was too narrow), they quickly traded it for a model with better dimensions. The whole process was painless and the staff was great to work with.
John DeMayI told the agent that I needed the trailer for more than the allotted time so they charged me 3 extra days and said if I return the trailer early, I would get a refund at the other end. That never happened. Tanglewood told me that the Antioch agent should not have charged me because extra days are always charged by the drop off agent. So it looks like i am out $20.
Greg LuchtHas always been a good experience will continue to use your service and recommend to all in need
William Landeeneattendant was very good
John Decker | Online Move InFull tank of gas
George NaegeleI'll never rent another storage unit from you again. You charged me 195 dollars for 2 f@cking days
Lisa Schuster | Overall ExperienceAnthony was great...both in setting up reservation and then hooking up the trailer. He was efficient, friendly, and made the process smooth.
Grant DahlkeIt needs to be very clearly advertised that this location DOES NOT HAVE ELEVATORS OR RAMPS. I had to pay extra to get a ground floor unit which I had not budgeted for because it is advertised that there will be elevators and carts for use.
Alicia FonacierI have had numerous issues from a trailer hitch & wiring and uhaul denting up my car, my wiring has never been the same to they "accidentally canceled my account while I was storing my items in a locker there and paid on time and was paid up, they also charged me for gas in a truck I borrowed after I put gas in it. We got locked inside the building 2 times which was crazy it was waaaay b4 closing hours. So I canceled my account with the Antioch uhaul and asked for a prorated return of money as I left my unit 2 weeks early.. I've called left messages and no return call. So no I'd never recommend Antioch uhaul. My wiring on My car is still not working Vito says it was my car, which I call bull crap bcuz I had zero issues until the day they installed my hitch & I picked it up day one.
Jill Gillcrist | Overall ExperienceVery nice and friendly. I would go back there again to rent some equipment.
William AdamsReserved a trailer and it was there when I needed to pick it up. I’ve had less experience’s with other locations. Thank you
Wade KerscherIt’s a little pricey
arianna rukstalesProcess was seamless and fast.
Randy HookLuke and Anthony were very professional. knowledgeable, and super helpful. Uhaul, and these 2 made the horrid chore of packing, hauling and storing tolerable. Thank you!
Tiffany GreenGreat customer service!
Coleen KealeyGood bang for the buck! Last load out of the storage locker after a big move. I really like the 24 hour rate in relation to the move 160 miles away.
Robert DarganFelt all around dealing were treated with the utmost respect and top customer service. I must also give a excellent rating to the Spring Grove Location whose staff definitely went out of their way to help me and kept me informed on all ends, a super operation with credit to its staff.
Frank KaczmarekVery polite and helpful
brett boruckithe person working at the facility could use a crash course in basic customer service. his body language gave off the impression that he didnt want to be there nor want to assist us with our rental. he did the very bare minimum in providing any type of assistance.
Tammy JacobsonThe equipment and location were top notch. The customer agent I had to deal with was disrespectful from the moment I walked in the door and made the entire experience difficult.
Michael KosmachGreat experience and will be using this location again.
Simeon MeyerVery positive experience. The U-Haul rep was prompt and professional. Found them to be very helpful as well. Will visit this site again in the future as the need arises.
Frank Andershad to rush to get unit back by 7pm - otherwise have to wait till morning is not good / NOT EVERYONE has the ability to do your after hours procedure / everyone does not have a smart phone and business should not be 100% based on that / I did not have the following day to drop so it almost became a problem
Ralph HansenNo improvements needed that I experienced. Lucas S was my contact and I found him to be helpful, polite and a positive representation of your company.
Peggy ValentinasYour staff was extremely rude and unhelpful I'd never use your site ever again
Scott Bigalke | Overall ExperienceCustomer service needs work. Friendliness goes a long way.
Elizabeth White | Overall ExperienceGot what we needed and easy to access!
Natalie Basgall | First ImpressionsRoof leaks. And I am concerned about my property there.
Robert Chambers | First ImpressionsUnit was canceled and had to go further away
Josey Montes | Overall ExperienceGreat place
Gary Petykowski | Overall ExperienceGreat people very helpful and fast.
Maira Kirchner | First ImpressionsYesterday I used Uhaul’s Chicago Best Movers, LLC and they were excellent. They kept me informed as to their exact time of arrival, they were very careful with all of my boxes / furniture / dishes. They were hard workers and did a great job for me. Highly recommend them for your next move. Diane P, Antioch IL
Diane Powers | First ImpressionsThey are very curtious and I had a problem and they were very helpful in fixing my problem
Pearl Zahnle | First ImpressionsBuyer beware! U-Haul will let you make a reservation online and let you think that you have a storage space the size you asked for on the day you asked for it, when in reality they don’t have it available for you. I showed up on the day I was moving all of my furniture out of my house thinking I had a big storage unit to put it all in. When I arrived to get my unit I was told they only had small ones available. Small ones that wouldn’t hold all of my furniture. I ended up having y rent two small units from uhaul and another small unit from another place to stuff my furniture into. I contacted the manager as I was told to do and he just told me that I would be paying the same amount for two small units, not caring that my stuff wouldn’t fit into them. I will never rent from Uhaul again.
Janet Breum | First ImpressionsMy rental unit reservation was given away to another customer. I called and confirmed my reservation with this location and they said that I was set and just to come in when I could to get the number. Yesterday I came in to move items in and the unit was gone. Luckily, the rep there stated that he had 3 units that equaled my original size and that all 3 units would only cost what the 1 unit was originally going to cost.
Michael Karner | First ImpressionsThe only issue we had was every time we accessed our locker 1923 the alarm went off VERY LOUDLY so it took time to go to front desk where I was told it was the alarm for 1925. He verified access was granted but had no explanation as to why alarm was going off. He told us alarm would turn off, which it did, but it was extremely loud and inconvenient.
Jay Gonzalez | Online Move InVito, Steve, and the other representatives were knowledgeable and very professional. I will use this location again if I ever have a need for extra storage.
Richard Bernhard | Overall ExperienceYes there is one thing that could be done when the lights turn on when it is hot a certain temperature that fans turn on the same time the lights turn on to circulate the air and ventilate the hot air out because it was extremely hot taking the rest of our storage units out in February it was very miserable when we put everything in in the summertime that should be looked at and they should come some kind of an elevator or a ramp to help the poor people with these storage units that would be well well deserved other than that everybody was kind and thoughtful and thank you very much from Patricia Cockrell
patricia cockrell | Overall ExperienceThe service provided demonstrates this particular facility’s commitment to excellence and service.
stanfort jackson | Overall ExperienceThey were always very polite and helpful I liked that it was inside and will let you could get in a different times. It was just a very nice storage unit
Kathy Perri | Overall ExperienceThank you for the outstanding customer service.
Joseph Noble | First ImpressionsArnold and Christian were both very informative and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Karen Campise | First ImpressionsMy camper has been stored there for years and only vandalized once !
Steven Carpenter | First ImpressionsThe staff here is so friendly and accomodating!
Madonna Skweres | Overall ExperienceFriendly, helpful, convenient.
NATALIE SCHOLBERG | First ImpressionsThank you always being so helpful.
April Soulak-Andrews | Overall ExperienceNext time, I would not get a second floor unit. It has no elevator or any cart to help move stuff. Plus, I would never get a unit in the middle of the walkway either.. too much to walk plus one has to deal with the steps.. should be the cheapest unit!
Janet Sternberg | Overall ExperienceAny questions I had were quickly answered by Arnold or the rest of the staff. Move in was easy and the facility is very clean.
Bob Lemar | Overall ExperienceArnold has a great customer focus and has always been very helpful for the time we have used this storage facility
River ridge Church | Overall ExperienceArnold is always friendly and helpful! This is my 3rd unit here
Joan Petrowski | Online Move InArnold the manager was very helpful in changing my previous truck appointment to better accommodate my moving plans. Gave me a great deal on the truck and storage unit. Gentleman working the counter Sunday morning was very helpful, led us to our unit and recommended the easiest loading locations.
Michael Sisko | First ImpressionsThank you for making the process easy. The man at the register who helped us check in was extremely helpful and friendly.
Jessica Zepeda | Online Move InGreat facility for what we needed. we moved our RV to the Uhaul facility in Grayslake as it was closer to home, covered, and had access to power. A bonus was the gate for a sense of added security. Thanks to Arnold and the team for everything, would definitely come back if the situation arises.
James Ponder | Overall ExperienceThey were well about average. I would use them again.
Daniel Rosenberg | Overall ExperienceSecond floor was a b@@@. Trying to get anything moved in when sliders closed at 7pm was a pain in the a@@. Looks like the 2nd floor wasn’t mopped in a month.
patricia mitchell | Overall ExperienceMy account went delinquent over 2 years ago and I had to forfeit the unit which was unfortunate but oh well. They told me it was going to auction February of 2020 And that it was too late to pay it off.. Then 6 months later they get ahold of me telling me that I had another 6 months of rent plus delinquent fees racked up and that the unit was not sold. I told them I wasn't gonna pay over a $1000 to just send it to auction. Here we are August of 2021 they just told me they sold it for a $140 that I have to pay the difference between that and $2800. They lied to get my bill up so they could rake me over the coals when I was clearly not in a good financial situation.
Keith Sansone | Overall ExperienceI was ready to give this facility better ratings but when I needed to access my locker I found it was locked, with a tag claiming I had not paid my monthly fee. However, I was able to provide the payment receipts to show I was in good standing once the store opened and should not have been locked out. Unfortunately this situation came as I was trying to move my son to his new residence in preparation for college, and we were delayed several hours in loading our U-Haul rental and getting on the road.
Fjay Bering | Overall ExperienceAdvanced Notification should have been made if the reserved unit (10x10, split level thats temperature controlled) was not available. That was what I had reserved. Instead I have 2x 5x10 units that are not temperature controlled and only upstairs upstairs. I went in to get an additional lock and waited for over 20 minutes and didn’t see anyone inside or someway to ring for help. Another associate should have been there vs having one person on duty on a Saturday morning which is probably a very busy day for this location. I left and came back like 30 minutes later. Service was redeemed with the second / final guy who finally helped me with the missing lock and then with the truck return.
Amy ENG | First ImpressionsStaff was great!
Larry Farino | Overall ExperienceArnold is a great asset!
brian mcgarth | Overall ExperienceVery pleasant to work with and facility was very clean.
Janet Lyons | First ImpressionsEveryone was extremely helpful and friendly. I was totally satisfied with renting from this U-haul facility.
Catherine Wright | First ImpressionsVery clean facility and professional staff! We also ordered boxes online and the pickup process was very easy.
Bob Lemar | First ImpressionsThe roof is leaking throughout the building and was above out unit the entire time. We complained multiple times and had to have them shopvac the top of our unit at least 10 times well we were there. Our stuff only stayed dry because we bought our own tarps and made a separate roof for the unit.
SARA STEFANI | Overall ExperienceThis facility needs more workers I waited 30 min to get help, I could see the frustration on the employees face he needed help and he was doing his best but couldn’t handle the amount of customers , what is available on line is not what is available at the store , I was told I would receive a call to confirm my storage unit yesterday , I’m still waiting! , I will have to go back today and hopefully get an answer? How can you rate a store when it’s not the employees fault, hire more workers!!!!!
RACHEL Wargula | First ImpressionsPlace is awesome. Very happy that we stored our stuff there. Two years and zero problems with our stuff. Owner was a great guy.
Nathaniel Hughes | Overall ExperienceEveryone was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you :)
Laurie Walsh | First ImpressionsThis U-Haul location is by far the number one place for customer service, friendliness and efficiency!!! They are on top of their business and do it so well with a SMILE even behind a mask! The whole team does a superb job, wether it is for a truck, storage unit, getting a hitch or selling merchandise to assist you with your move. Arnold and the team are hands down the BEST!!! High recommend this U-Haul location!!!Much appreciation to all!! Michelle and Randy

Chris Passalaqua | First ImpressionsGood Experience, no issues
RAYMOND KIRCHNER | Overall ExperienceThe staff at this facility were very nice and helpful, but the communication between people was lacking. It took a minimum of 4 phonecalls/emails and 2 personal visits to end my contract.
mary rochon | Overall ExperienceGrant, U-Haul Rep, 10 minutes before closing treats me like the first client of the day. Professional, thorough, detailed review of access, location, and unit security. Spotless building/storage unit.
