You scheduled my appointment to have a hitch installed on my SUV for 7:30am. I arrived at 7:15am. The installer was not due in until 9am. You should have sent me an email alerting me not to arrive until 9am. The staff was wonderful and the installer was very good and did the install quickly. I was done by 10am and on my way. Too bad it took 3 hours out of my day. Lesson learned to confirm my scheduled appointment.

Firstly, when I rented the truck the representative did not extend my rental one day like I asked. I got called by Uhaul corporate asking where the truck was. The truck had big empty used water bottles in the cab. It was filthy. So was the back of the truck and it did not have a quarter tank of gas like the rental agreement said. Yes I know trucks from Uhaul are usually trashed but this was ridiculous. Isn’t the previous driver supposed to clean the truck? Don’t you charge $4.50 per gallon? Do I get that money back?? Awful location and I would never rent there again. Truck was mechanically unsafe for the road also.

Only concern was my paperwork stated a full tank and that’s what was verbally told to me. I got in the van and it had 3/4 of a tank. Had I not looked I’d of been SOL. I’m not sure if that was just a mistake or a tactic to get more gas out of me, but it wasn’t a good feeling to start off.

I used the automated system to check out my van and return it. It was a little time consuming but worth it for not having to stand in line. The only request I have is to give some indication about where/how to return the key. I returned it inside as the facility was still open, and the woman there was very nice, but if she hadn't been there I wouldn't have known what to do with the key.

On 10/27/2024 I made an online reservation. On 11/30/2024 I checked the status of my reservation on line to confirm the details. Shortly after I received a phone call from Uhaul stating that they did not have the truck I had requested but offered me a larger truck for the same cost. I reluctantly agreed since this was a short local move. The individual who opened the shop was alone on a very busy day. He was accompanied by his dog that bit two customers in the leg while I was in line. Fortunately the bite did not break the skin of either customer and they were both more concerned with getting their task accomplished. The employee barely acknowledged either incident. His only response was, " I forgot to mention he (the dog) isn't very friendly". He had his breakfast on the counter blocking any space for the customer to put down their things. The printer was not working so he was not able to print the contract. He emailed the contract so I had to sign and agree to a contract that I was not able to read first. This large truck was challenging to navigate in the parking lot of our location but we made it work. We also had difficulty maneuvering this large truck at the gas station so we choose to not put gas in it. We had only driven 19 miles which should be equivalent to less than 2 gallons of gas. Instead I received a charge of over $30.00. We took photos of the mileage and the gas both before we left the parking lot at pick up since we had not been able to review the contract and again in the parking lot when we dropped it off. I expected a charge for 2 gallons of fuel but I was charged for 6 gallons. The truck was clean and operational but the customer service was poor.

This vehicle had damage to the rear window and due to a flawed design shattered while driving. I was charged heavily at drop off. Was told even with the insurance, this would still have been a charge. That is very unfortunate because I could have been hurt and to be charged this amount, was very upsetting. Please look at these windows and the design - it is not the customer's fault.

For some unidentified reason, my personal master lock was cut off my storage unit and replaced with an U-Haul lock. I found out when I tried to get into my unit… and you can imagine my reaction. I asked for an answer why my lock was cut off and replaced without my knowledge or consent. The answer provided included something to do with the cleaning crew. Right. I asked to see where in my lease there is a mandate for having a U-Haul lock. Nothing. I paid $260 per month for the folks at U-Haul to have access to my personal items… while I didn’t. I will never use U-Haul again, for anything and relay this story to anyone asks for moving or storage advice.

When renting my Uhaul for a one way trip the person I was dealing with in Newport messed up my license with another Martin lady as well as phone number and address. Then they put me down for 4 even though I needed two. They then booked me to pick it up but didn’t have it till about 3 hours later and they couldn’t seem to tell me if they had storage units open so I had to book it online.

There is no lighting or electrical outlet in my unit and it's extremely difficult to organize my stuff in the dark.Really a hassle and pretty disappointing since I need the extra space to get organize. It also appears that there was water damage in the unit at some point. I hope that this isn't an ongoing problem. The employee who I dealt with just prior to renting the unit (when I needed a truck) was helpful. However, the key I received with the contract didn't work in the truck. The ID number on the contract matched the truck as did the license plate, but the key went to a different truck which is the one I ultimately used. To be clear, the contract didn't match the truck I drove, which seems like a liability for all parties. Also, I realized a couple of days later that I left a bag of painting supplies in the truck. When I called and explained that I was looking for my belongings, the person on the phone didn't miss a beat when he said that no one had turned it in. I had barely gotten the words out when he gave his absolute answer of "no." He didn't say that he would look or anything helpful: he just kept repeating that the bag wasn't there. I didn't find him credible, and his lack of concern for my inquiry was a great example of poor customer service. I have always worked in fields that required interacting with customers and I was really disappointed with the way he handled the situation. I went in to speak with someone about my missing bag, and spoke with another employee, JT, who was quite helpful. He said he had indeed found my bag and he proceeded to pull it out from under the workstation. I told him who I spoke to and he told me that it was the manager. Unbelievable. I'm grateful to JT for his honesty and attentiveness. He had even attempted calling customers who had previously rented the truck until he got too busy and was unable to call more customers. Maybe some remedial customer service training is in order for the manager in question.

The facility is great. The problem is the limited and unhelpful staff (both on the phone or in person). I have been spending thousands of dollars annually at the 111 JT Connell HWY location for 2 decades. Some of the staff are degenerates, underpaid, unmotivated, unpleasant and unprofessional. And a couple others have to work twice as hard to make up for the slackers and only paid peanuts. Hire better staff and THAT facility will do MUCH better, trust me! I also HATE things: the excessive, documents, emails, calls and texts for a simple storage bill, WAY TOO MUCH notification. U-Haul is NOT my life’s priority!

Other than losing half my stuff due to the flood I have always used uhaul for everything my renters insurance didn't cover flood damage and I lost at least half my stuff. As I went through it everything had water damage and mold.

There was one bad flood of the ground floor in the 2 years that I had my unit, but the staff was very helpful and accommodating to all of us when this happened, and made wooden pallets and helpers available to raise my furniture off the wet floor to minimize moisture damage.

This place is run by a completely brainless idiot, Alex. He is the worst manager ever, overcharged me $50 per month, I was quoted $134.95 for my unit, and the price changed the day I moved in!!! The place is always dirty, they restricted my access and never told me why and a piece of my furniture was stolen. Never using this place and I'll be sure to tell everyone what a jerk Alex is, he should be fired. What a clown.

We rented the storage unit over the summer to store some of our daughter’s belongings in between school years at her college. Her move in date was set by her school (September 5th). When we moved out of the Uhaul facility, (we also rented a van from Uhaul on 9/5 to move her belongings) I inquired about receiving a pro-rated bill as we left 5 days into the billing cycle. I was informed that Uhaul doesn’t pro-rate. I find this very disappointing and it will be a consideration the next time I’m looking for a facility to rent storage space or van/truck.

BUYER BEWARE! the unit is smallish but ok. When I reserved I was told I had a ground floor unit. when I got to the place on move in day I was told no ground floor units available of the size I wanted, that's not cool. When I asked about a bigger unit ground floor I was told there were none. I moved into a second floor unit, no elevator, I wasn't told there was no elevator when they told me I couldn't be on the ground floor. After loading in I decided to look around I found a unit on the first floor vacant. I went and inquired at the desk and lo and behold I got it for about 10 bucks a month more than I was already paying. The whole bait and switch scam stinks. The system for getting into the lockers is antiquated and wasn't well explained. They shouldd have a picture of the entrance way and expain to you with visuals how you get in; because the desk guy was totally unclear. You have to pay extra for 24hour access, which again is just another bogus upsell. I only need the space short term and the storage location is near me or I'd have gone else where. However, yes the staff guy who checked me was friendly which is the only reason I didn''t grade this place beyond poor. Oh, and one last thing, they have sent me four emails and two texts bugging me to review them. I wanted to just let it go but they wouldn't let me. so sorry folks here's your review, your place is not good.

I lost due to water damage, many items on the morning after the flood. Is there a way to recoup losses? Being that the entire place was a crowded, wet, truck laden area, with people running around, we had to dump many items because you wanted all units emptied, I had no place to store items, and felt rushed to empty and get out of there.
