The staff was great and helpful. Always use this location due to the availability of equipment. Thank you to all who have helped me throughout the years. My son graduated from Chico State and this was our last time being in Chico. I can't say enough of all the help over the years from rental units, trailers and Auto Transports I have rented. Great place I will miss. Thank you for making me feel welcome and part of your community. Keep up the great work!!!!!

Jason Santos was extremely rude and disrespectful to multiple customers including myself during my visit. He blatantly lied to my face. I attempted to rent a van and without even checking the computer or inventory he said we don’t have any. I politely said I have it pulled up online and it’s allowing me to book a reservation but I wanted to do it in person. He said if you do that it’ll be sent to another location because we don’t have any. I asked him where to and he said he didn’t know. He did not offer any assistance. Was very condescending and didn’t make eye contact once. I proceeded to move forward with the online reservation and within about 2 minutes I had a truck reserved. I got back in line and magically they had one that had “just been returned”. I’d hope this person isn’t representative of uhauls standards for employees. He is costing the company money because of his pure laziness and unwillingness to help. I reached out to company president Chris via text but have not received a response. When asked there how to file a formal complaint I was not provided with a way to do so.

Perpetually understaffed causing very long wait times. Have seen customers leaving visibly frustrated or outright angry and/or yelling about their own dissatisfaction about these things on at least 3 occasions. I have also been very upset about it on several occasions. This is the busy season and that must be taken into account by the upper management that dictates how many labor hours each location can accrue. It's a college town! Expect it to be busy! You're losing customers left and right over this. Don't let corporate greed ruin this service! The service is there to serve the customers, not just to serve the bank account of the CEO nor the company's investors, whatever the upper end case may be.

I had an appointment to pick up a truck at 10AM, but was forced to wait until 10:45 because of a long line and 1 employee working, putting my moving time off and costing me more money with movers. This was with mobile pick up, so this is absolutely inexcusable. The truck drop-off was great, however.

My decision to use U-Box (only 1 necessary) served several purposes, 1) I had very little possessions to move which would have required a smaller trailer, which would have required installing a trailer hitch to my little Ford Fiesta 2) My little Ford Fiesta has a difficult enough time with the mountain passes, towing anything would have been nearly impossible 3) Winter weather was a bit of a nightmare as it was without a trailer. 4) If I had not used a U-Box, getting my vehicle to my final destination would have required a small truck with tow capability.... see all reasons above for reasons this is NOT viable. Thank you U-Haul for making the U-Box option available!

Looking like you are trying to improve the services to put more money into the greedy business by placing a $20 after hour service fee. I’ve never had to pay this fee before. And if it’s not removed from my credit card, I’ll be doing my business somewhere else.

Horrible experience with the support at this location. Got my total of $190, handed the person cash and was told “oh hey sorry with cash it’s actually $290”. No explanation given. When I asked to split it because I wasn’t planning to spend that much given my estimated total wasn’t even close to that, the man helping was condescending when he told me he’d “wait” for me to “go put more money on a card”. Overall, paid in card to avoid the extra $100 fee for cash. This is extremely disappointing given no where charges THAT much more to pay cash. Horrible experience and will not be using this location again and will be sure to share my experience with others.

I couldn't get the seat moved up, so very difficult to drive, the door would not shut properly, the window handle know kept falling off the were several small cracks in window. When I brought it to the attention of the person at the U-haul, I mentioned I had called customer support. Customer support said I had to call towing dispatch (which I didn't need) Towing dispatch told me I needed to call customer service, and when I check back in the equipment be sure to explain and let the person know about the problems. When I checked in and tried to explain, the guy bit my head off and said WELL you SHOULD have turned around and came back to report it. I explained I had no time to turn around since I was on a time limit and wouldn't have time before dark to get my stuff out of storage. I asked him to stop being rude to me and that I felt maybe I should have some miles deducted for my inconvenience. He said NO. You should have reported it when you left. I said I did, I called customer service when I got a chance, but was pushed of and then told to tell you. Needless to say we didn't get anywhere. The truck was a piece of crap! I could barely reach the peddles because the seat wasn't moving up.

The truck was given to me with little to no fuel so I had to go out of my way to fuel it up before I even began moving my furniture. Then when I opened the back, it reeked of weed. I didn’t have a choice but use what I had. Got my furniture moved and all my belongings ended up smelling like weed. It was an expensive terrible experience.

I only had the unit for 3 1/2 months and when I moved out I had to throw away a lot of my stuff. A lot of my items had mold on them. And I had to get rid of a bags of clothes blankets and a few kid rugs due to dead mice inside of my stuff. I was very dissatisfied with my experience at this U-Haul. And to make things worse for the last month or so I had to go only when the store was open, because they never fixed the outside login issue. I asked every time I went if it was fix or when they were getting it fixed. Every time they said they didn’t know. As of 1/28/2025 it’s still not working !! Not everyone can only go between the hours of 7am and 7pm I like that I could acess from 5am-10pm.

I was told to drop off the haul truck in Durham instead of Chico. This is not what I had put in as my drop off location. I was told that they needed the haul in Durham.. It is not my responsibility to make that happen, it is on them to transport the vehicle to Durham if it was needed there.

I'm generally happy with the experienc, except for the following. When I rented the pickup truck, the gas tank was 3/4 full. I drove about 70 miles total and added 4 gallons of gas before returning the truck. The gauge read higher than 3/4 of a tank. The clerk checking me out said that the tank was a little short and included a nine dollar charge for gas. I did not dispute this at the time, but I should have done so. I believe the clerk believed it was short a full tank, but the truck was not full when I rented it. I should be credited $9 for the rental. Check out and return took awhile since the store seems understaffed. L

On this particular day & visit there was only one employee handling the front desk while I was there. There were three customers in line ahead of me and at least one behind me. I waited over 10 minutes to be addressed. I was there around 11am on a Wednesday. I felt that a secondary front desk staff would have improved the service time. No explanation was given for the wait time. The staff member, however, was very courteous when he engaged with me.

The unit I rented said that I could fit a 2-3 bedroom home in it, which was wildly inaccurate. I had to scramble around to find a new place and the professionals at other storage rentals said there was no way to store a 2-3 bedroom home in the unit Uhaul suggested either. Very misleading and very stressful.

I booked a unit that specifically said it would hold items for a 2-3 bedroom home. Upon arrival, the size of the unit was laughable, and absolutely not as advertised. Staff was unhelpful and I had to scramble to find another storage facility to hold my items.

I needed and reserved a 26 foot truck in Roseville, CA for 2days for $93 if I dropped off the Uhaul in Uba city CA. So the next day I got dropped off from Chico, Ca to Roseville U-Haul to find out They gave away my truck and had to give me a ride to a different uhaul store were I was told had the truck I needed but didn't. The only thing they had was a 20 foot truck which I felt forced to take. And Now it would be $164.00 and still would have to take it to Uba city. I had to make 2 trips instead of one which took another 2days plus all the gas....it was a complete nightmare and cost me soooooo much money I did not plan for.

Everyone is friendly and helpful and I barely visited my unit, knowing that it was secure. It’s nice and clean. I like having a unit inside of the facility building. Also when I rented the car trailer- a cheerful and capable young lady hooked the whole thing up to my pickup for me, and went through the safety check. When I returned it later I didn’t even get out of the truck! Chico uhaul is top notch.

The communication at the facility was fair. But in all fairness, they were very busy. The explanation of how to enter the security code was not clear. There are two locations at the site. All this being said, they did their best to assist me. I think the confusion is that I reserved the space online and not at the desk. They also shared that sometimes a space can be double-booked, although this did not happen to me.

The Chico, CA Office and the branch manager there was very helpful, courteous and professional, in which I will use this facility again. However, the phone number to get a hold of U-Haul’s customer service and/or to pay my monthly bill had very long wait times that lasted over an hour sometimes. U-haul needs to revamp their customer service line, in order to drastically reduce the wait time over the phone.

Rating:

The customer service is absolutely horrible and nonexistent. I will never use this uhual again. Was never offered any discounts or refunds for any of my inconveniences, which were many, and caused hours and hours of delay in moving. Because of lack of organization and communication I had to rent two units instead of one, which were completely across the entire storage facility making it even more inconvenient when moving and organizing my items.

I had reserved one of the indoor, climate control storage units on-line. When I went in to pay for the unit it turned out to be an outside one. Bronson said that there were supposed to be two units inside that were going to be emptied that day or the next and that he would keep my reservation open and call me as soon as they were available. I got a call that afternoon and was able to take care of the check in over the phone. I really appreciated the extra time that Bronson spent to make sure that I got a nice unit! I will always recommend this U-Haul for any moving or storage needs! Great people and pleasant experience!!
