Coventry location has always been very slow to process a trailer pickup. I was surprised and very happy to see this improved. Very clean, helpful and fast check out. Kudos to these improvements. One change still required. Cell phone TAP for payment should be available as this is now long overdue for the payment service.

We reserved 2 dolly’s as part of our truck rental and when we arrived we were told they didn’t have any dolly’s left. We put this reservation in several weeks before and were very disappointed to find out they didn’t have any left.

The 20 foot truck’s windshield was full of bugs. The interior of the windshield was also hazy dirty. Spent 20 minutes cleaning both the outside/inside of the windshield. The truck would have benefitted from a good washing/scrubbing with lots of soap/water as it had a lot of bugs crushed on it. It really looked dirty on the outside especially the front - bugs right. As a result, also had to wash the front headlights. When you have more important things to do like ‘pack’ the truck, this dirtiness was unnecessary and could have easily been taken care of and quickly at the Coventry Road Depot. Also the price fluctuations for truck size are off the charts. Spent too much money on this rental compared to when I rented two 26 footers last Oct. ‘24.

There is some grey area around the trailers electrical harness connection to the tow vehicle. Previously 3 years ago a 7 way to 4way adapter was required so with this rental I bought one only to find out that my rental did not need it . Since the uhaul team is personally connecting the trailer to the customers tow vehicle it would improve the customer satisfaction if uhaul provided this adapter to the older 7 way trailers and recovered it at the end of the rental. For now when a customer walks in the door they don,t know if they should bring a adapter or not

The trailer roll up door would jam and not roll up without a great deal of force. I accidentally got my truck and your trailer stuck in the mud and couldn't return the trailer in the correct time just to have one of your employees call me to give me shit for not returning the trailer in time.when I said sorry and explained the situation he was rude and tried to give me a guilt trip. Very very unprofessional.

le service était impeccable et satisfaisant, cependant je n'ai pas apprécié d'être à nouveau prélevé des kilométrages supplémentaire alors l'agent qui a réceptionné le camion m'a bien dit que je n'aurait plus rien à payer. sans compter que j'ai compléter le carburant plus qu'il en fallait, j'aurai aimé qu'il prenne tout cela en compte. The service was impeccable and satisfactory, however I did not appreciate being charged for additional mileage again, so the agent who received the truck told me that I would not have to pay anything more. Not to mention that I topped up the fuel more than necessary, I would have liked him to take all of that into account.

The app should take a picture of the fuel gage - the bill stated half a tank, when I got into it , it was at 1/8th - I brought it back with 1/4th and was billed 70 for gas, I also read the reviews that this place does this often , in order o stop over charging, and theft of your clients that then need to argue it out, pelase improve the app,

The cost of putting gas in the vehicle is quite high and very difficult to gauge. We ended up leaving the U Haul we rented with an extra quarter tank of gas. I thought at the time it was very frustrating we would get charged if we left it with less gas but the reverse wouldn't happen where we would get refunded if it was over. This felt like a double standard.

storage unit in poor maintenance with pieces of metal hanging from the door. I cut myself. Unit 445 leaked and all my boxes got wet. Staff are unfriendly- it's like they don't want to be there. The one lane access is ridiculous. There was a black SUV blocking the entrance way when I arrived so my moving truck couldn't easily access. Apparently the black SUV belonged to the "boss" that's what the guys working outside told me. Billing reminder calls are an insult and the person calling sounds bored and angry. I moved to Dymon Storage as their service and facility is worth the extra $20/month. I will recommend all my friends and colleagues to Dymon Storage rather than U-Haul. I think you should stick to renting trucks. unless one day you get serious about storage. It looks like just a cash grab for U-Haul

1. The system is always down at this location. Pre-registration doesn't even have a point when everything has to be registered manually again by the staff. The line was ridiculously long and the process delayed our move more than 45 minutes. 2. The trucks' side mirror was glued tight in one angle and could not be manually adjusted. This was SO dangerous as not only did the angle not work with me but the left and right were different, lane changes were super dangerous. This feels like an illegal aspect of truck rentals. 3. The light cap on the driver's side dropped suddenly while we were driving. If it dropped and caused an accident, who is going to be responsible for that? 4. The customer service at return was absolutely horrible. We filled the gas right before returning to the same level at pickup and the staff was very unclear in communications about the gas. When we told him that if it looks insufficient, we will go re-fuel. He told us not to worry about it= meaning it would be fine, until we found out that he charged $30+ for the fuel when we were exiting. We came back to ask why he did not tell us specifically and stopped us from re-fueling and we literally had to argue to be able to take the truck again to refuel which took our time as well. Seriously, the service and maintenance of trucks at this location is poor and disappointing.

The attendants gave me attitude and made me feel bad that I was renting a truck that has to be dropped off to a different location. I was told that my truck was being out back for availablity because I was 15 minutes late to my 8:30 am pick up. That is not taking into consideration that I had called at 7:30 to advise them I was going to be late and they put me on hold 20 minutes. Bad customer service.

I wanted to pay by cash at check in. The attendant had no change; said final payment could made by cash so I gave credit card #. Upon return, new attendant said no I couldn't and too complicated. Refused cash, looked away dismissively. Truck very dirty not even swept out, LCBO receipts on driver's side.

I rented a Pick-Up truck and an Auto-Hauler trailer. All were ready when I got there. Truck and trailer enabled me to do the job I wanted very easily. The Auto-Hauler is very capable unit. The location was well staffed and I didn't have to wait long. Hint: best to use the equipment mid-week and mid-day if you can.

The enclosed 6x12 trailer was not as advertised; it is not appropriate for motorcycles. It did not have a ramp, despite other enclosed Uhaul 6x12 trailers having them, in my experience. The guy at the desk didn't know anything about Uhaul trailers.

The check in process was very difficult. The manager was rude, belittling, and unhelpful. Told me that the reservation that I had made was not valid and that it was for another location (which was untrue - once he finally checked his system, it was clear that it WAS the correct location and what I had reserved was available). He then proceeded to tell me that the lock I had purchased (a high security level) was not good and that I needed to purchase his lock. Horrible customer service.

The "general manager" of the Coventry location is completely incompetent and idiotic. I had settled on a final payment for my unit due to negligence to maintenance of their property my property had been damaged! I lost 3 tvs a bunch of artwork clothes covered in mold and all my tools rusted. I should've just let the unit go and allowed it to be their problem but despite my better judgement I agreed to settle on a price and move my belongings out of my unit and terminate my occupancy. Upon going to pay for my settlement price the "general manager" or at least that's what his shirt said was completely ignorant and basically tried to bully me into paying an outrageous price instead of the discussed settled price by trying to strong arm me, he aggressively approached me stating "you're here to pay your full amount and get out" I replied no I'm here to pay my settled amount and nothing more. I had spoken with. A woman by the name of Melanie and she was such a great help and a breath of fresh air during this disgusting encounter. She had discussed a settlement price with me which I went to go pay in full and start moving out my items. They gave me until the 4th of August to remove my items or they will be declared garbage. I assured her I will be out by that day. I arrived today July 30th to remove whatever items I can fit in my car until I have access to a truck this weekend, later today (July 30th) after doing my loads for the day the "general manager" calls and says "uhh yes why is your lock still on our locker you're supposed to move out today" I replied no I have until the 4th to remove my belongings and unlock the unit. does UHaul not train their management staff members on properly talking to the general public as well as basic knowledge on their job? There is no excuse for me to be greeted in such an aggressive manner, there is no excuse for harassing me and contacting me at my private number when they clearly have the information on their system stating I have the unit until the 4th!! Just curious how he got his job position because he is absolutely useless at his job. Offers zero positive marks for customer service experience during my visit, belittled a worker in front of me because they were going to allow me to make sure my belongings were still in there, attempted to strong arm/bully me into paying an outrageous price, had zero knowledge on the situations going on in his location, and now harassing his clients over problems he could quickly find the answer to in my file with u haul! Terrible experience. I will NEVER use uhaul again. They ruined most of my belongings that I cared enough about to pay for storage on and then bullied me when I asked for a solution. Anyone who asks me will be getting referred to another storage facility because this experience was/is just unacceptable. I can't believe I paid you guys 315$ today just to retrieve belongings that were completely ruined by flood damage due to your negligence of maintenance to your facility and the lack of information I was given when I rented the unit! IF THE UNIT FLOODS LET THE RENTER KNOW AT THE TIME OF SIGNING!! NOT 4 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY DESTROYED THEIR BELONGINGS. I WILL BE SENDING THIS EXACT MESSAGE TO HEAD OFFICE.

The worst ever experience with uhaul I have ever had. The story goes, the day I returned my truck, After i moved out of my home, when I left my husband, he called th3 uhaul asked if hus wife was there with my rental gave my name , the woman on the phone from uhaul tells him yes I'm there, in so doing this she violates uhauls privacy policy with giving out a customers information out to a third party . I never gave permission to have my wearabouts or information given to anyone. I have called corporate several times left many messages and have not been given a call back. Very disappointed 😞 and outraged that I have not even been compensated for the damage that was caused because of this. My husband showed up assaulted a friend and the police had to be called. This was a breach of privacy.

I went in and stated that I was renting the unit for only a month and I vacated the unit on time. They sent me an update by email on the 15th of the month that I rented and I sent them a update on the 31st stating that I had vacated as I promised. I also told the worker who was outside I had vacated. There was no procedure given and as we buy or own locks there is no reason to return to the facility especially since we were communicating by email and they're completely understaffed and poor customer service inside this facility. They state they ignore the emails and again no notification that they ignore the emails and donnot reply. I also called in to the facility as well. This is illegal and predatory as I am a handicap and this facility should be fined and people arrested especially if they are doing this to other disabled and elderly people.

Absolutely awful customer service — and no maintenance of the grounds what so ever. If anything they made it EVEN HARDER to get to the locker. From not snow plowing after major snow falls, parking rental trucks in front of the entrances and making it nearly impossible to enter the locker area. At one point an employee even had THEIR PERSONAL CAR parked at the only exit of the locker area. Because of the way the entrance to the lockers is set up I hit my truck twice on the side wall. When I first signed up for the locker it took them THREE DAYS because the locker “had a lock on it” even though it was supposed to be empty. They never answered the phone to help me with my issue so I had to repeatedly call — while being obviously hung up on — until someone finally decided to answer in an annoyed voice. Absolutely ridiculous set up and staff is so excruciatingly unhelpful and rude. I could not recommend this location any less than I do.

I would not recommend that anyone use the internal units at this facility. My unit flooded three times in the 10 months I had the unit. And in the very heavy rains the water went all the way through the facility. I ended up putting all my stuff up on risers and planned to get out as soon as I could. Having said that, the staff were always helpful and contacted us as soon as it happened.

The only upside is that it was included with my previous truck rental. It was awkward to get to and felt trashier than an episode of storage wars.

My only comment is that when i initially arrived i was told that even though i had reserved a unit that didn't guarantee that they had one. Not too reassuring especially since i came from Guelph under the impression that i had a unit. Luckly the facility had one available.

1- The door was really hard to close and lock, lots of rust. 2- Water infiltration : 3 boxes were soaked and mold had built up inside - nothing really damaged since it was dishes boxes 3- Accessing the storage was complicated and not convenient : pick-up the key inside only during office hours, trucks parked in front of storage (most of the time it was not possible to backup to load and download)

Unprofessional stuff. Ruined my move into a new home. Picked up truck at 6:30pm explained I'm going to furniture store to get sofa and I'm coming back to get my stuff from the storage and I specifically asked if I'm ok to access the storage after 7pm closing time and I was told that's fine. On my big surprise I couldn't access the storage cuz they put a second lock that I didn't have a key for. Had to turn around and leave plus send home friends that came to help. Next morning I asked manager Ben again why is this happening. His answer was there's no access to the storage after 7pm....the evening before he said opposite. So dear u haul you lost me as a customer forever.

Terrible office and access hours, could not move in the first day I arrived because they close at 7pm not allowing anyone who works a job to get there in time. I arrived at 630pm and was told there was not enough time to unload before closing, so I had to put an additional 30Km on the rental truck to come back the following day. When I did check in on the 2nd attempt I was forced to buy a lock from U-Haul any way to get more money I guess,

We did not move into the facility and found storage elsewhere. The staff member at the desk was the most horrific example of “customer service “ I have ever seen. He was mocking other customers while I was in line waiting, he was rude, he was just generally the worst example of retail interaction we have ever seen. We cancelled everything and left.

I will never recommend Uhaul Storage to anyone and have reported you to the Better Business Bureau and have thoroughly detailed the fraudulent business pertaining to your insurance coverage. I have been told this is not an isolated incident and that this is entrenched in how Uhaul conducts themselves. I am the Director of Communications for a $15 Billion CPG company and will also be reaching out to my national media contacts across Canada to share my story in hopes that I can save someone else from renting through Uhaul and save them from thousands of dollars in damages, too. On top of not properly maintaining the drainage system at the facility, Uhaul does nothing to mitigate vermin and instead just traps the ones they find, does not dispose of their carcasses, and does not care that they run rampant across the storage facility. Just an absolutely horrendous experience from start to finish.

The experience was awful, I couldn't get to store my stuff for two days. I had to keep the truck in a parking for 2 additional days then go to another storage company. You have a great truck rental service, I was expecting similar with the storage service.

Moving out was very stressful given the fact that the parking lot was a mess. To make matters worse my brother and I were asked to push some uhaul units out of the way by hand in the rain. Lineup inside was really long and nif moving. I would never use uhaul ever again. I have friends that have stored with Dymon storage and they are extremely happy with everything across the board. I truly wish I would have had a much better experience.
