We rented a cargo van for a few hours and although it operated fine, it is an older one, compared to the newer Dodge vans and was a little rougher ride. Always a good experience at the Mineral King location. Staff is awesome!

I was 15 minutes late and they charged me for an entire additional day.
Alvaro MShould let people who are DIY or business companies have 24 hour access to storage units.
DANIEL P | Overall ExperienceThanks Duncan.
Stephen J | First ImpressionsWe were evicted from our unit because of a construction project. We were given two days notice to get out. We have been loyal customers for 4 years and have paid on time. The owners of the property do not care about their customers- they only care about getting rich off the shortage of storage units in Visalia. During our eviction, the assistant manager was condescending but the manager was decent.
James S | Overall ExperienceCheck trucks after people return them for an problem because some people don't tell if truck is not running correctly ! The one I had wobbled all over the road so I told the U HAUL guv about it.
Juanita GGreat customer service, very clean and welcoming environment. Storage units are clean and pest free.

Lisa PThe manager at the viciala office is an assume person his name is Duncan
cindy c | Overall ExperienceVery helpful and friendly staff. All of our needs were met and they went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience.
Charles A | Overall ExperienceThey held a 200 dollar deposit on my card upon renting the uhual and then tried to charge me another 185 upon return and when I told them they already held 200 on my card the guy said that since the paperwork didn’t show it that they will just put in the system that I owe them money. I even showed them my bank account information to prove it and the guy stop tried to argue. I will never be going back to this location.
Kerrin MEverything went smooth. Thank you!
Christine FLet customers know the process. Where they should turn vehicles in. I waited 20 minutes in line to be told I had to go outside and talk to someone else. Person outside was overwhelmed and not the most helpful. Blamed the day on 2 people not showing up to work. Unfortunately that’s not the customers problem.
Chafic DFriendly Personnel
Robert GGreat overall experience!!
Scott JHad issues with the 24/7 pickup but finally had to go inside and re n t the truck. I always seem to need the truck for more days and end up extending my rental, this seems to be an issue which I don't understand because for them to even have the button for that option it must be something along of people do. The actual location is under staffed but the employees are friendly and d o try to be helpful.
TERESA SVery friendly and customer service was great.
Imelda GCustomer service is deplorable and wait times are unacceptable.
Freddy DThe best
Mark MStop taking reservations you can’t fulfill in the location it’s requested assholes.
Brian HVery helpful also
Michela GFast an courteous return system.
Robert CExceptional customer service
Cierra AVan was very clean! Thanks Chris for easy and curtious check out. 5 star to Tristen, this young lady is top asset to uhaul. Rushes and always Thanks us. Good job to manager Duncan 👏 he keeps this team providing friendly service.
Inez PMake sure all the U-Haul information is documented and communicated with other U-Haul’s.
Xavier OFor me everything was well kept for what I needed it. If the mileage was was a little less expensive it would have been nicer but then they're your trucks . One thing only I was told I was going to be charged $145 . 00 but then upon return it was $166.00 dollars plus I showed the worker the gas ticket of $40.00 and didn't face him . As I said they are your equipment. I'm and old Veteran on a budget But that's my problem. Thank you Nick Roch USMC VETERAN
nick rGuys were hands on amazing 👏
Julie AOutstanding customer service
Philip NAn "Enter Here" sign would be helpful, and a UHaul sign visible from down the street. Hard to see the location until you are on top of it. All the street parking can block the view of your signed building until the last second.
Christopher GDirty trucks but they run tits.pleasant experance.thks
Jim WGreat Service!
Isaiah MThe associate that helped me was kinda rude and unpleasant. That was the only bad thing I could say about the whole experience.
Mark HFine
PAUL BThe personnel at the facility were helpful and well trained. Great experience.
Ethan SReturn took longer due to longer line.
Jabed KI can’t think of anything, at the moment. So far everything has went very well. And you have a large selection and availability to suit many needs.
Charles PNo complaints or comments regarding this location.
Spring LPick up was easy. On return that was a bad experience not to mention the Hispanic guy was a douche
Florencia CImprovements. Ask more questions about the app on your survey. The app SUCKED
Paul OI brought the truck back a day earlier missing the 24 hr window by 2.5 hrs. I was told there would be an adjustment but when I returned it the young man told me No adjustment. A little let down by that transaction.
victoria gAny think
Jose MThey could probably benefit from 1 or 2 more staff as it does get a little frustrating to walk into the office and have to wait a long time to be served. Otherwise this is an excellent location.
WAYNE YVery easy and friendly experience.
Rilian B2nd bad experience only with this people, tank wasn't full when i got it and i returned the vehicle full but they didn't gave me any reimbursement
Felipe SAdvertise more.
Karen SThe truck is was running really rough. The staff are very nice, but they need help.
Anthony TBoth employees my sister and I encountered were fantastic and very helpful!
Taylor SThey’re lying because the elderly man that was helping me didn’t mark down that I returned my appliance dolly, it’s reckless that they’d have someone so old and careless run that location. Will be contacting police to pull video footage
Rigo GI was particularly impressed with the equipment. The enclosed double-axle trailer was fairly new, pulled super smooth, and handled great overall. I recommend both u-haul and this location highly.
WAYNE YShorter wait time
Moises MI am a software developer with 30 years experience. the web based software was down most of my visit and also slow and older technology. The software and procedures made the rental process horrible. The staff that helped me was great. they ran my card manually and helped to make the rental easier. 5 stars for guy that helped me check in!!!
Ryan Jit takes too long to get help and you wait a long time. Truck looks like it could have used a car wash.
abraham sPulled in, was done in about 10 minutes.
Timothy DFriendly staff. Great experience. Thank you, Visalia U-Haul.
Andrew PEasy out and easy in. Thanks
Diane TYour vehicle needs to be serviced. The gas milage was 10 miles to the gallon. I only drove it 18 miles and 2 gallons barely put it back to the original setting. Also, this vehicle would default set back to the tow option, which geared it down when it wasn't necessary. Took me quite a few miles to find the shut off for the tow option.
Terry TAwesome, fast, and easy service.
Rob Rvery prompt and helpful staff
Jacklyn Sstaff was very friendly and informative, the GM Duncan Vaughn was very helpful and always responded to any message that was left by me. He made the whole experience of renting with Uhaul stress free! Uhaul should hire more employees like him
SKYYLAR W | Overall ExperienceI put no to storage access hours convenient due to discontinuing the 24hr-access. Wish the 24hr access was still available at least for DIY WORKERS/COMPANY OWNERS.
DANIEL P | Overall ExperienceStaff is extremely rude and not helpful with any information. As a first time user for U-HAUL I didn’t not know basic information even after trying to do my own research before calling. When I would call to ask for information at the location I used no one would answer and I would get sent to the central office and they usually weren’t able to answer my questions. On top of that every time I asked a question in person I was constantly met with attitude and rude remarks for simply asking for help. I would not use U-Haul again not recommend it to anyone. Get better customer service.
JILLIAN A | Overall ExperienceHad trouble with auto pay, trying to remove it, I set it up once and canceled it and then the next month it will come back again.
Keena S | Overall ExperienceManager Duncan was always available to assist in anything we needed. Gina, was always friendly and maintained the facility above 5 star rating! This place was always so clean. Would definitely rent again.
Inez P | Overall ExperienceStaff was EXTREMELY rude. Only one who was helpful was the manager. The ladies in the front are very rude and have no sense of customer service. That’s the only reason I would not recommend this place. If it wasn’t for them they’d get 4 stars
NICHOLAS W | Overall ExperienceSee comment above
Jennifer T | First ImpressionsThere were a few times customer service representatives weren’t helpful and unprofessional tone.
Jess J | Overall ExperienceDuncan Vaughn is a wonderful human being and he and his staff was always so pleasant to speak with. He really went out of his way to support us and was always very compassionate in offering his support to us. I highly recommend this U-Haul place! Excellent experience!
Darnell R | Overall ExperienceThe older gentleman who help us was not friendly and quite rude. He didn’t have quality customer service, he was very short and his tone was rude. Then one girl who helped with storage Seemed to not be knowledgeable at all on how to rent a truck so I had to get in line and wait again to get a truck
NICHOLAS W | First ImpressionsGM and staff were amazing
darren c | First ImpressionsThe staff was very helpful and welcoming...they answered my questions and showed me my option...felt very comfortable talking to them.
STEPHANIE A | First ImpressionsLove it at Uhaul @ Mineral King! Duncan is a great manager… keeps the place running as smooth as possible… Alistar was a great help this time around… he is always friendly and ready to assist when possible!
Melody M | Online Move InI am still dealing with this issue.i am not the person on the account nor my credit card should be charged I am NOT responsible for this or will be held accountable for this unit I just reserved the unit on line I explained that to the gentleman at the front desk where he to the info of the person who's storage it really is. I asked to be taken off and was assured my name and card will not be associated with this account and here it is again my name and credit card is still on there I would like it off and I want it off now this is absolutely ridiculous and I'm not okay with it
Alfred W | First ImpressionsVERY CLEAN & ORGANIZED. NO HASSLE AT ALL AND STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
DANIEL P | First ImpressionsLove everyone working there. They are all professional and polite.
JANINE L | Overall ExperienceThe staff and storage was above average. Thanks for the long term storage experience
CHRISTOPHER P | Overall ExperienceIt's kinda hard to believe it was the first time I had been there for awhl
kaylen r | Overall ExperienceThe website stated that the unit would store a 1400 square ft house. I came from a 1200 square ft house and couldn't fit all my items in it. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly and professional.
Aaron B | First ImpressionsThe staff has been super helpful and nice. And move in was fast and easy.
Natane E | First ImpressionsFriendly staff! Easy access :)
JESSICA C | Overall ExperienceI’m in unit 1000 my name is Joab Johnson I’ve had a unit there for quite some time I’ve been sick with the congestive heart failure I’ve been in and out of the hospital a lot and I’ve let the staff know I’ve let management know I’ve called several times to the people that you call that answer the phones for you and let them know that I United can’t get down there on time sometimes and then and I don’t wanna lose a little bit of stuff I have I’ve lost everything after I’ve got congestive heart failure I couldn’t work anymore and just put on permanent disability and so my bills have been kind of hectic and I knew I lost it a lot but I kept a little storage The manager just would not work with me on my late fees and everything and I pretty much had to just throw a bunch of stuff away is it anyway I just don’t think that I was treated properly by eight and you know what you guys do not answer the phones when I’d be in the hospital beds in there and I called and called and called to tell you I couldn’t get down there to pay it on time and then you guys wouldn’t answer and then you just charge me $50 every time out of line And management management was aware of my medical condition and that I was always there to pay my storage it was just late here and there because of my hospital stays and I don’t think it’s fair that I can charge so much for such a little space
joab j | Overall ExperienceManager and staff really are great.. seemingly work well together and appear to be happy to help you without prejudice or judgment?! Yes, I actually do mean just that lol. However, the weekend crew can leave you a lil wanting. It’s busy and the heat was insane today so I’m going to blame it on the heat! I do have one suggestion and that is to send someone to remove the admin lock from the units that get caught up the actual day they have gotten caught up. I think that would be wonderful and I I know I would support you in this lol. Overall the experience was top shelf with a special shout-out for the Manager, Duncan and the associate who runs and tends to the pool)
Tara W | First ImpressionsAmazing management and staff! 10 stars!
Joe R | Overall ExperienceIt kinda sucks having to haul the heavy stuff up 7 stairs up
kaylen r | First ImpressionsThere was no communication it being a second level with no elevator and no access to a larger door. There needs to be better communication when setting up this location for storage needs, this was not an easy move with a regular door and second level with no elevator no dollys for appliances or easy way to move large items into storage.
Veronica D | Online Move InThe 24 glass door doesn’t work properly
Carlos G | First ImpressionsA wonderful place to store items!😁
Cherry R | Overall ExperienceThis is by far the best Uhaul facility I’ve ever used! Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful and the prices are great. I would never use anyone else
Sarah A | Overall ExperienceThe number one reason I had a positive experience at U-Haul in Visalia is because of the people involved. I never thought it would matter who’s working at the U-Haul, but it mattered at the Visalia location. The folks there were patient, kind, respectful, and went above and beyond to support the customer (like Chris). Their tool shop was open and they were quick to fix an issue with my trailer rental and get me on the road, all the way up to closing time. The facilities were always immaculate, nearly hospital clean. The bathrooms were clean and operational. The equipment, like carts, ready and available.
DAVID B | Overall ExperienceEasily reserved my unit online days prior to moving my stuff in, they had it ready for me with a free lock & even a Uhaul piggy bank😂 it being an indoor storage really makes a difference in this summer heat. ONLY thing i wish was different was the small flight of stairs I have to go up to get to my unit, but that I can get over. Nice staff, super clean place! Definitely happy I chose to go with this storage facility & would def recommend!!
Catherine C | Online Move InChris and the young pregnant lady we're working very hard to get the crowd of customers through their transactions and did so professionally with a smile on their face and providing great customer service! Give them a raise! ... God Bless & Congratulations to the younh pregnant employee!
Tony D | First ImpressionsBest experience we have had, staff is absolutely so friendly and helpful. Customer service amazing.
MICHAEL P | Overall ExperienceI think his name was Ruben that rented me uhaul.. he was super cool thank you!!
Erin M | First ImpressionsChris was super helpful! Facility was clean. Great accessibility for our things.
Julie S | First ImpressionsThe storage facility is built like a maze and was rather inconvenient to get our stuff to. It was new, secure, clean, but we had to take several turns to get to the unit. It would have been better if everything was built on a simple grid rather than trying to look cool.
Klynton F | First ImpressionsChris was very helpful at addressing issues we experienced with our move out. A+++ for his assistance!! The lady who checked me in, initially was lovely. The reasons I would not recommend this facility are: 1) poor staffing relative to the volume that this location experiences. This site has been like this for years. You make money by providing substandard service because you can. 2) flooded storage area, then difficulty reaching staff to find out what happened because.....#1. 3) I suggest someone do a walk-through at night to ensure that vehicles on remote pickup are accessible and that late night dropoff spots are clearly marked. 4) When there's a problem and the manager is unreachable that speaks volumes about what is important and it's not the customer. No dedicated troubleshooter on call after hours? Check. My new storage is with an independent chain, and people could not be nicer. I really like dealing with real people and not people reciting corporate scripts. They called to follow up with me on moving day and made themselves available after scheduled office hours when they knew we were running late. WOW!! This uhaul is somewhat saved by the people here who manage to care despite the hurdles to doing so. I deeply respect those doing a good job under these circumstances. You are front line workers. I'm sorry you have to deal with what you deal with Better staffing will alleviate the negative google reviews because people who aren't so stressed can do a better job. Customers who can anticipate better service don't come in primed to make sure everyone around them has a bad day. Thanks anyway, my experience wasn't all bad At least people like Chris are there and willing to troubleshoot, so thanks again.
Joy L | Overall ExperienceStaff was knowledgeable, awesome service was very helpful!
Consuelo T | Overall Experiencealright
Mark M | Online Move InOther than this location being a little overwhelmed by high demand and low staff, this is an excellent location. Starting with the fairly young manager Duncan Vaughn. He goes out of his way to guide and take care of your needs. With our few hundred mile move, truck and tow dolly drop off. Also making our reserved storage space possible after some hiccups in the UHAUL system. He really makes me want to recommend and take care of all our storage and UHAUL type of needs to no other place than this location. Great work Duncan
Jose M | First ImpressionsReserved a storage unit at a location in Fresno, CA and was later told that the unit was no longer available and that the only storage option was an hour away in Visalia, CA. We drove all the way out to Visalia and were told our reservation did not appear in their system, even though I had the Reservation Number and provided it. The only unit they had available was much smaller than the one we had originally reserved and all of our belongings did not fit.
Malena S | First ImpressionsDuncan is great!
Benjamin G | Overall ExperienceRefusal of billing staff to properly maintain customer information, direct payment for storage units, and still receive late notices for unpaid invoices. Extremely frustrating! Office managers being placed in no win positions by upper management, resulted in lost time, extra effort by the customer. Rental vehicle was filthy and tech on the truck did not work. Very disappointed with Uhaul, after several rentals and storage ventures, this by far was the worst! I will seriously consider my options the next time and I am urging my friends on social media to do the same.
Martin H | Overall ExperiencePeople are very nice and helpful. Very clean
Chris F | Overall ExperienceAll the staff-Everyone!- and I know them all by name, are professional and engaging to all the guests. They are fine people in general. I will certainly and personally recommend uhaul mineral King Ave in Visalia to meet all our needs. Thanks for giving me a chance to give Kudos to all the staff. Sincerely, Gina Vitale
Gina V | First ImpressionsWe couldn't get the 5x15 lockers we wanted on the ground floor. We ended up with 2 tiny lockers.
Alice E | First ImpressionsHad good overall experience. Only thing to comment is that, at times, there were too many customers and have waited 20min for someone to help me with reserved booking.
Keon L | Overall ExperienceThank you
Francisco A | Overall ExperienceManager, Heather Haas was awesome! Was doing a last minute move that was very stressful. Heather helped navigate all of our moving rental needs, including on-site storage. Thank very much Heather.
Monique S | First ImpressionsHeather was very professional and courteous and she knew her stuff as far as rental process goes, she made the whole experience great.
Keena S | First ImpressionsI was very satisfied with the service.

Pabbie J | First ImpressionsThe site forklift was down but the manager did everything possible to ensure we could unload our household goods without issue. The service was excellent.
tillman s | Overall ExperienceWe moved across country and this facility was the rudest I've ever had to deal with. They changed the delivery time of the UBoxes without saying anything and I had a crew hired to unload.
CHRISTINA S | Overall ExperiencePerfect.
