Jesse was very helpful and patient in answering our questions and looking for other rental options for us since we were having trouble making a final decision. He also hooked up the trailer & made sure we had everything we needed. Just a comment --- it would be helpful to educate newbies that a cargo trailer will make your vehicle burn oil on long trips especially when using cruise control. After 8 hrs. of driving, his check engine light came on. He was low on oil & could have burned out his engine. Otherwise, everything went great.

Had an appointment Sunday morning at 9:00 am to pick up a truck. I arrived 15 minutes early and there were 3 people at the door under it of me. Only two representatives were available at 9 and it took 20 minutes before they were to me. They were working as hard as they could so i have no complaints about the job they did. They need more help. By the time i left there was a line of. 11 more people out the door. Need more help on the weekends. .
SCOTT KGreat service and quick check in. Thanks!!
Richard CVery bad experience
Jianxin BI was called the day before pickup that I had to pick up the truck a half hour from where I live and the car transport an hour from where I live. This caused me to call everyone helping me move to push them back 2 hours so they didn’t arrive at my house with no truck to move stuff into. U-Haul did discount the rental for the inconvenience which a really much appreciated. I had to hold the truck steering wheel almost 45 degrees to the left the whole 14 hour drive to make the truck go straight. That was exhausting on the arms. When I dropped off the transport in Tennessee the employee was shocked the rear axle chain was still being used because it had a broken hook that they rigged up with a clamp.
donovan dNice people great service
Allen RFriendly and courteous people.
ADAM WFriendly well equipped location very helpful

ROBERT STrailer lights were intermittent on my 400+ mile drive. Very disappointed with the quality of the trailer I rented.
JAMES JThanks so much.
MICHAEL BQuick and easy
THOMAS EThis rental exceeded my expectations in every way. The order was placed seemlessly. I had a to tow a new boat for over 70 miles and the rate I was given was not exceptional but understood and explained correctly. I arrived and the pickup truck was exactly as described and BRAND NEW, wow. The hitch was ready, not like I have experienced elsewhere. It performed flawlessly and accepted my return in drop box and followed up volunteerily lower the price of the rental to put me on a reduced program. This is a first rate, well run outfit. HIghly recommend.
ALAN WGreat customer service
MARGO BThe staff was very friendly and attentive

WILLIAM DOnly issue is getting into this location, can only access going east bound on Dundee Road. Very difficult to access from Hyw 53
GREGORY LI did not go in, so I cannot tell you if it was clean or not.
AUDREY WThe 2 guys at the front office........Amazing.... we went to the one off dundee in palatine. Man best customer service i have ever had. So polite and was very helpful. Moving can be stressful but it was a breeze.
GUISELLE VSmooth from beginning to end. Harold was very helpful. Will definitely rent here again.
MELISSA RFirst-time renter. Everything went smoothly, from reserving the utility trailer online to the pickup to the use of the trailer to the drop-off. I would recommend it to others and rent one again. Thank you.
CHRISTOPHER BI returned the truck with the fuel at the level it was rented to me and was still charged for $22 worth of gas. The individual I called claimed they could not provide a picture of the fuel gauge unless I drove back to the rental location. I’ve rented several times from this location but will not be returning.
ROBERT SLived in Palatine for 28 years and a Senior Citizen. I have used U Haul multiple times & with my family multiple times.Never an issue.Now this shop is padding extra miles just because the customer is gullible and gets taken.I received one email on 3/26 from them - I heard nothing about checking odometer & rented multiple cars before without being scammed by miles by multiple rental companies.This is a first for me. I’m appalled that a large corporation has to stoop to this because of carelessness by these employees and zero respect to the regular customer. Drove to the airport and back to a friends property.Who will swear on that and I stayed there picking up furniture for a few hours back to Palatine. Approx 40 miles TOTAL.Checked my Amx bill and charged 190 miles!! Complained to both this Michael guy who did the paperwork in/out himself and literally blamed me the Customer!! For the error and said Jesse the manager would call me the next day ( today ) which he did not have the courtesy to do.So I called him and got totally rude careless attitude to me.Maybe it’s not his mistake but we are all in business of some kind and personally I know if a customer is telling me the truth or not.I personally will refund a repeat customer for sure as I don’t want to upset the customer and want them and their family back & good reviews from them. But Jessie said he’s heard this before and will do nothing to resolve.Not a lot of money BUT customers do no not want to overpay since they the customer did not do “ Their Job” ? And trust the rental company.I would not recommend this to any anybody.Poor customer service and zero about counting my miles?? Like that’s my job? NO I actually trusted you UHaul to be up front and you over billed me.
JOHN HQuick and easy. Told the guy about the taillight being out, he was quick to assess and check-out

OLUWAFUNMILOLA AI did not like having to take all of the pictures. And I was actually charged more on my card than what it said on my receipt after checking the truck back in.
LORI RGreat customer service and help.
NATALIE MHad a few issues. The return address that I was told and provided upon pick up was different than where I had to drop off… I was not told until I called to return the truck that afternoon and was not notified prior to that. I had to drive to two different locations to return the truck. I was also not fully explained on the gas refueling process and filled more gas than needed on the return as well.
Kevin LGreat location with a great crew! And they're really nice guys.
MICHAEL CThe equipment was somewhat clean up there was two roaches in the back so we had to spray raid to make sure there weren’t any hiding so it wouldn’t go on our things. Other than that customer service was great
