I've been to this location in the past and have had a good experience. Not today. I came to pick up my reserved vehicle and it was filthy. Capb had debris and seat was dirty. Back hatch was dirty, my hands were covered in dirt. I opened the back and there was dirt, debris, a penny, an earring, etc. I went back inside to request a different vehicle and they said I could not rent it or take it as is. I asked to borrow a broom and a paper towel and cleaned it myself. So I am requesting that my charge be waived, this was completely unprofessional and I am honestly disappointed. Please respond to my email andrew.s.dillon8@gmail.com with your solution to this experience. Thank you.

I was down the road and needed a trailer quickly. I called and 15 minutes later I was picking up the stuff I needed. Everyone was friendly and quick! The trailer worked great!

Employees were prompt and helpful, and the tow dolly was in excellent condition and worked very well for my needs, towing a disabled car to my house. I'll happily rent from U-haul, and specifically this location, again.

The in side of the truck was never cleaned, I know this because the things I had lost were underneath the seat and the brakes were never fixed on the vehicle and it makes a terrible terrible noise when you turn in the rear end the door sticks it looks like a construction vehicle, and there is a wave in the windshield and it's hard to see

Trailer was in good condition but the floor was only slightly cleaned from the previous renter. This didn’t bother me, but some people might not be happy about it.

Rotors and brakes need to be replaced . Significant shaking when breaking Also, the charge per mile is exorbitant and overall creates a negative experience that I was duped into thinking this would be an inexpensive venture.

One person who worked there stared at his phone the whole time. The person who helped me didn’t help find a location to drop off my rental and told me I had to call when I arrived I. Syracuse—leading to a long hold call. The Uhaul smelled like smoke. The gas in the tank was 1/8 less full than marked on the contract and only at 1/4 of a tank, forcing a quick gas up. The back of the truck also had trash in it and the TPMS light was illuminated. Uhaul is kind of a joke.

The service staff at the Ithaca location deserves a raise!! Outstanding customer service - very friendly - really made the experience excellent over all!! Minor Safety note - during high winds, the box trucks can be problematic to control on the highway with cross winds.

Appearance of interior wasnt great to look at and certain heat settings wouldn't work (Meaning the position of where it came from, the heat still did work). Also the visors were both broken. It still got the job done, don't get me wrong, but could use some interior maintenance.

The u-haul was very good. Fuel efficiency is not at the best but still it was in the range acceptable. The weather was very cold but the heating the car was very good. We also had our cat with us and it was very comfortable. Very spacious car as well.

I am a professor at Cornell University. The staff person named Denise M. asked me if I was legally in the United States once she knew I was from Mexico. I will file a complaint with my lawyer due to discrimination based on my appearance and nationality.

My check out experience was easy and the staff was friendly and approachable -- much different than when I visited to purchase supplies earlier in the fall 2024. The truck was clean and well maintained. There were challenges with the back door -- both pointed out by U-haul employee and experienced by me in that it was extremely difficult to lift the door -- seemed like it needed WD-40, or that it was a little off track. If I could interact with the manager and the person she had working with her on Sunday every time, I'd rate this location as excellent.

The staff seemed to know little about car dollies, were reluctant to be of assistance & ultimately forced us to locate another dolly at a different site, causing a 2 hour delay in our trip.

Jasmine took very good care of us - when out in -1 degrees weather and hook us up and showed us how things work - did a great job We returned the equipment and made sure they noticed and they said we would get a receipt by email with the final bill, the next day we got a call asking us if we returned the toe dolly - I thought this was strange.

Overall a good experience. The only detractor was having to wait while they loaded the uboxes onto trailers. I expected that they would be loaded up and ready for me to hook my vehicle up to.
