These guys have the system down cold. The check out process was quick and easy. Got paperwork and hooked up trailer in less than 15 minutes start to finish. Dropping trailer off was even easier. An employee met me as soon as I pulled in. He showed me where to drop it off and then unhooked me and I was on my way in less than 5 min. Great place to rent a U haul trailer.

Not surprised! however, your pricing is very unannounced! You tell your customers pricing is $19.95 + fuel used and 0.49 cent's a mile, which I was okay with. However, what you don't tell your customers is that if you don't drive more than 100 miles it is 0.99 cents a mile and for that dark and lack of communication with your customers I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT RECOMMEND UHALL TO ANYONE!!!

Steve was the man that helped me. He was quick and professional. He was all by himself working that day, but he was working as hard as possible to check customers in and out. Because of that, my wait for help was a little long, but a reasonable time given the circumstances. But really would be great to give the guy some help!

The truck that I was giving had some serious mechanical issues, I was in a hurry as it was and did not have the time to turn around and wait for another truck, and that’s if they had another available. They need to fully inspect the trucks and make sure they’re safe before handing them off. The transmission was absolutely going out in the truck I was given, not to mention the brakes hardly worked. Not ok. Please for next time make sure the truck is in good driving order before allowing it to go on the road.

It would have been a better experience if the person at the front desk was more helpful. As it was my first time renting a storage unit anywhere, I wasn’t sure how to come about accessing my unit. It took a good solid 20 minutes and two different doors to finally find my rental unit. Then, once found, the alarm kept being triggered due to me not realizing you had to disarm the unit before accessing it. If the person at the front desk was more helping in explaining what to do and where to go, it would’ve been a lot smoother experience and a better rated one.

Found out the day before my move that uhaul did not have the 26ft truck at the Nile’s location where I made my reservation. Then they tell me they don’t even have a 20ft truck at that location. I had to drive into Chicago morning of my move to get truck. Then the rep tells me they will reserve a 12x6 trailer for me to get me same space as 26ft truck but the trailer is in Evanston. I paid for moving help through uhaul and had to send them home after they filled the truck so I could then go get the trailer. Then I had no help for the trailer and there is no ramp so I wasn’t able to even fill it with the items I needed to take. Just all around a terrible experience except for the gentleman that helped check in to access my unit in Antioch Illinois. Ill never use uhaul again. oh this was all after I drove to Morton grove store 2 weeks prior to my move to schedule everything in person and they turned me away saying it was easier online. I asked if there is nothing that can be done with my bill and was told “we got you the trailer for just 17 dollars when it’s 200 to rent “. Oh and then I have a 20 ft truck with a 12 ft trailer and was expected to just find a gas station that I could fill the gas tank? Cost me another 98 dollars and drop off. Yall are the absolute worst.

I 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

I 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.

Yesterday 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.

Buyer 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.

My 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.

The 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.

Yes 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

My 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.

I 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.

Advanced 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.

This 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!!!!!
