Best U-Haul location in Alexandria! Clean, well stocked, and friendly service.
PAUL GI just have one question, why did I receive an additional charge when I returned the van?
ALEJANDRO PWeight limit per box. You should make that clear from the start.
Antonio DYou had an employer just outright steal about 30k worth of my stuff. Im suing you hard-core obviously..
Sebastien EI’ve used this location on multiple occasions and it’s been hit or miss a few times. However, this particular experience was a very good experience and the staff appeared to be very friendly and professional!
PEACHES PBoth people we talked with were friendly and helpful!
Carrie CThe after-hours check-in using the app didn't work. I took the photos using the app, but I got an error message that said it couldn't upload the photos. I tried repeatedly without success. There was no explanation that would tell me what I needed to do differently. I got a tolerable outcome when I called the 24-hour customer service. The person sent me an email and asked me to take the photos the regular way on my phone and respond to the email with the images as attachments. She also said she would note that I had difficulty and send this info to the rental center so I wouldn't be penalized.
WARREN DThis was the end part of a UBox move. The people were fantastic and efficient. The survey is requiring a response to the recommendation about the right number of containers which was not applicable. All of the confusion related to this move has been website/internet related.
Anne OTyShawn of Dental Help Movers brought my U-Box on time for unload. He was courteous and professional, fast working with a great attitude. Even though he was alone, we were able to unload the U-Box in less than an hour and he was on his way to return it. I highly recommend him for anyone needing moving help services.
John AUHaul’s Edsall Road location is great! They were fully stocked with all types of reasonably priced boxes and supplies, and various sizes of moving vehicles. The service was really good and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised.
RENEE HDrop off was a bit confusing. Maybe a few addition signs to indicate going around the barrier walls. Might just be me but I was hesitant to get in a sticky situation in the 26ft box truck. Overall though super easy. People were kind. And a caller was on speaker conversing with the staff about how appreciative she was of their flexibility and willingness to help her. Was nice experience from start to finish.
DUNN AEverything was handled professionally from initial delivery to final pickup. The drivers were outstanding. They arrived on time were polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Harold FVery good thanks
HAMAYOON KTodo muy bien
RENE RNothing, the guys were very helpful with the drop off!
KENNETH KKeep up you professional help
EMILGEN WService at the location was excellent… had problems with call center information…. They could not give me adequate information on a transport that would not fit my Chevy Silverado…. End up taking the transport with me on and dropping it off empty… a waste of gas and rental
WILLIAM DThe overall experience was good for me. My interactions with staff were professional and friendly. However, I struggled getting good answers to questions from local staff. The phone numbers kept connecting me to the national telephone network who were unable to help and often referred me back to the local only to have my call once again rerouted and my questions left unanswered. The biggest frustration was in SLC where I shipped from was that it said delivery to Alexandria, VA which was 12 miles from my new place in DC and I specifically asked that it be delivered to DC. The manager at the 3900 S location told me that it would be shipped to DC and that Alexandria was only a hub. However, I got to DC and they said they wouldn’t take it there and I had to get it from VA. This led to unforeseen extra costs of $105. I have tried to get this addressed by the company and no one at corporate has been helpful and they refer me back to SLC, who never answer their phones.
SCOTT RThis was not the location that I chose to pick up my truck and then they didn't have any of the furniture dollies that I thought I reserved. Luckily my moving help brought their own. In response to my question as to what was the point of my ordering specific extras at a specific location, U-Haul responded that everything I ordered was a "suggestion" that I guess they feel free to provide or not. In this case, NOT.
ANDREW LCustomer Service Staff was OK and quiet,
MARIA MI believe Jonathan checked us in- he was very polite and professional- location was excellent
BETH PThe front desk eduardo give excellent service
JOSELYN MEvery time I called customer service to change something, the next time I called, no one seemed to record the changes. My spouse added me to their account multiple times but it was never recorded, we changed our pickup time but that wasn't recorded (3x), when you finally picked up the box no one closed the account so I was charged for an extra month, then when I called back to get it removed, no one could help and kept transferring me, then I was told I wasn't on the account (I was). Everything took 4x longer than it should have and the staff was clearly either untrained or very poorly trained. Several customer service agents were clueless and I had more information than they did. Next time I will simply pay more and go with PODS. We've used them before and they don't have these issues
Christopher AWas able get everything done that I needed to get done.
RICHARD Hexcellent service at this drop off location.
Arthur BI had to get the manager Ecuador who was wonderful involved at this drop off location on Edsall in Alexandria in regards to the mess of experience the Deep Run Richmond VA location made
ALIA DKnowing their inventory before pickup, so it’s known if the location actually has the dolly’s requested in the reservation.
MARISA LThey took a half hour for them to get to me despite my standing there waiting...both agents were working with customers whose reservations (or lack thereof) seemed to be causing lots of challenges. Once they did get to me though it went through very smoothly.
JAMES EAmazing staff, my second rental in 2 weeks- no single issue!
SASA SGreat service
TOMAS VThe manager and staff were excellent. They showed professionalism and integrity during our interactions. They were informative, engaging, knowledgeable and helpful in explaining policy and how to adequately address potential issues that I might encounter.
WENDELL JThe truck i rented was old the wheel baring sounded terrible driving it.
LATASHA SThe person at the checkout counter was very rude..first he was trying to charge me extra per mile then we have to convince different price on online. Second he didn’t even bother to show the truck and walk through it. Upon returning the truck he just took the keys and told me that he will send me the final receipt after he will do the final walkthrough. Why didn’t he do the walkthrough when the customer was handing the keys to uhaul unless customer is dropping the keys after the hours? He told me to send the final receipt after 30 mins but didn’t receive anything until I called customer service. I received the receipt after 4 hours which was totally unacceptable. Not going to this place never in my life again
SHAFAQ ZExcellent service!
JAMES CStaff was super informative and helpful
Roberto NThe front desk staff clearly didn’t get the message of helping customers as her job required to do.
Brian NClerks attitude . Asked him for a particular trailer with new tires , his response was that he can cancel my reservation .. The reply came as a shock to me
ASHU NYoung people are so friendly and helpful, very customer oriented. Check in/out was easy and fast. Thank you!
SASA SLocation of U Boxes that were staged for unloading were hard to find on the site Truck that was rented to transport the contents of the U boxes was not available
WILLIAM RCustomer service are doing good
KWABENA BStress free. Staff was very helpful
TIMOTHY TEduardo and Bethany at this location were supremely helpful and went beyond and above for us. They should definitely be commended for a job well done!!
Alicia WMy issue is not with the pick up or drop off facility. I reserved a 20' truck a month in advance due to the loading/unloading dock space limitation's associated with my move. The day before the rental I was told no 20' truck was available. I was forced to take a 26' truck. I had a three hour window to empty an apartment which is standard with most apartment rental buildings. Why have a reservation process if it doesn't matter and you don't intend on honoring it. Due to the dock space I was forced to load and unload street side. The 26' truck was to large and has a very wide turning radius. What was even more infuriating was the lack of caring from the regional reservation group in Arlington VA and Miami Fl. You are screwed and they know it. What choice do you have? Cancel the rental truck and fail to move out on the contractual dates or accept what UHAUL offers. I would absolutely encourage future customers to contact Penske or enterprise or just hire movers. The 7.5 miles to the gallon on the larger truck was another negative. Very disappointing!!!!
CHRISTOPHER MPlease better instruct your employees on the proper way to hitch trailers to vehicles! Thanks to the keen eye of the female attendant on duty that morning, she caught a negligently attached hitch and prevented what could have been a fatal mishap by reviewing the photos and quickly recalling me to the depot to have my trailer re-hitched. Thanks to her quick actions, property was undamaged and lives were potentially saved!!
Carl BI rented a trailer for an out-of-town move, but when I arrived to pick it up, I was told that my vehicle did not have the appropriate apparatus to connect wiring for the tail lights. Bethany went above and beyond to help me come up with a Plan B solution that was workable and I couldn't be more grateful. She quite seriously salvaged my day and I was able to move. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bethany. You are smart, creative, empathetic and very good at your job. We need many more people like you in the world.
CARRIE CYour service representative, Rashad D., was not only extremely helpful and efficient, he was personable and knowledgeable. He expedited my truck and equipment return with ease and a genuine friendliness. I was quite impressed.
beth aMr. Frazer and Mr. Joseph were the best ever… please find a way to reward these individuals. Thanks again A very satisfied customer
CECIL AImprove on checkin/checkout process. I return a Van that I physically inspected - didn't see any damages before handling over the key to the Uhal associate. I was then called 4hrs later after I dropped off the Van to tell me there's a damaged at the rear side on the driver side. This damage is so obvious that I would have seen it and brought it up to the Associate attention. I honestly think this damage happened in the Uhaul facility. I asked the associate to check the cctv for that but he ignored. I think you having good checkin/checkout inspection this could have been avoided by making your customer pay unnecessary fees thats avoidable. I am still going to contest this damage the Associate called me to tell me about. Will get my lawyer to contest it.
EDMUND OPhenomenal experience! Fantastic customer service. I love the use of GPS location for the pick up--letting me know where the U-Box is currently located. I recommended the same feature for drop off. I recommend providing the same feature when doing the drop off. I was provided a 7-hour drop off window, and the app GPS location would have been extremely more convenient. The text notifications were excellent! Since there wasn't a GPS tracking option for drop off, the text notification definitely provided a secondary option for when to expect the U-Box. All the staff I interacted with were awesome! Very friendly and helpful. U-Haul did a fantastic job and the U-Box is so much cheaper than other companies. Highly recommend.
Nathan NThe truck's check engine light came on right before I was to return it to the location
SAUL CCustomer service at this location is consistently very good. Every employee was helpful and courteous (even though there was a line and just 1 person to handle many customers). Good service stands out anymore and I’ll make it a point to go to this location even though it’s not closest to my home. Well done!
Paul MAmber in California was very easy to work and flexible with our schedule.
Judy JThe last minute change of venue for pick up and the attitude of the staff left me unsatisfied with the interaction.
PAUL BQuincy and Bethany were fantastic. Great experience.
MARY KThe truck was not cleaned and was damaged. The back door did not lock as the entire handle/lever piece was broken off and dangling. This damage was obviously not inspected or the staff just didn't feel the need to mention this until I had already taken the truck to load up. After repairing the lock to avoid being robbed mid-move in downtown New York (What are the odds, right?). Additionally, I was quoted about $520 for the rental, but was charged $511 even though I returned the truck with the predicted mileage, a full tank, and 36 hours earlier than originally estimated. Uhaul has fallen a long way and I do not intend to rent from them again. This kind of service is an insult to the customers. Next time I'd be more likely to rent from any other carrier.
CHARLES WI returned the U-Haul with the exact same gas level — I filled it up right before dropping it off. Still, I was charged $33 for fuel. I called the branch to explain, but they brushed me off without even checking. No accountability, no customer service. I’m 100% sure I did everything right, but they just didn’t care. Never using this location again.
SAMIR HIt was confusing where to go to pick up the truck - more signs to indicate where you go would be helpful
Robert FIt 8s a little off my area of travel. I had to go 7.5 Mike's to this location. Not ideal on moving day. Staff: she was very cordial and appropriate!
Joel HMr. Hector, Ms. Abbie, Mr Scoville and the young lady that helped me at the desk two days ago were absolutely excellent. MR. Burke from another totally different region spoke to me harshly. All staff otherwise from the top have been kind, respectful and caring. I still recommend uhaul as the number 1 place to do business and they can provide top services for what you need. Mr. Scoville is polite respectful and assures that thank you along with your staff. They stand by the uhaul name. I must say the President of uhaul stands by his customers and staff 100 percent. Thank you all
Janet BContinue the professionalism, everything was perfect!
Blanca BWhen I called for information I was asking about the promotion for 1 months free storage, they said "we can discuss it when you get here '. After driving 10hrs I get there only to find they don't have storage. I just wish I'd been told that. But drop off was easy
JANET BThe vehicle was good, and the pick-up was easy. But I had a really bad customer service experience when I returned the vehicle. The U-Haul agent, Rayshad, refused to check in my van until all the people in line behind me were taken care of. I was frustrated, so Iwent to my car to wait. But he never came out. After about 20 minutes, I went in and he was continuing to serve customers who came into the shop after me. When he finally decided to come out to check in my van, he changed course to help another customer who came in after me. I don't think I did anything to provoke this behavior other than express frustration that he was making me wait for everyone else to be taken care of. He honestly seemed amused by my frustration, which made me feel even worse. I don't know what his motivation was or why he decided to single me out, but this was a uniquely terrible customer service experience. I hope U-Haul takes this seriously and addresses this incident with Rayshad. Until then, I won't be using or recommending U-Haul for anything.
CAMRON GYour app is confusing and glitchy. I think that my only advice! All people I worked with were great, and moving my stuff was easier than it ever had been before
