Weeks in advance we rented a truck at the Ujaul location in Havertown Pa The day before pick up they send a text that we now have to pick up in Philly 30 minutes further away When you call either location you get put on hold for at least 30 minutes or they don’t answer the phone at all When we picked up the truck in Philly the passenger side mirror was broken so we had to wait while they fixed Obviously the truck was not checked out prior to us getting itThe tire pressure light was also on the whole time

I originally was supposed to return my UHaul to Stan’s Tires at 4420 Market Street however that experience was awful. I arrived early however the location of this drop offs is not accommodating for UHaul trucks. When I pulled up there was not space for me to even temporarily park so that I could talk to a customer service associate. When I tried to stop in front of the location briefly one of the men working yelled at me to move the truck but did not follow up tell me where to park it. When someone did finally come they wanted me to drive around the block and park down the street in essentially a pedestrian crosswalk. I was so uncomfortable with what that would make me responsible for therefore I last minute had to change my reservation to drop off somewhere else.

Still can't believe how quick and easy the dropoff was. Staff was very personable. Really appreciated it after our long drive and spending the day unloading the truck.

The manager is extremely rude. This location made a mistake that caused a tremendous amount of additional stress during an already stressful move. The manager refused to accept accountability for their mistake and was combative and hostile on the phone. When I called customer service, they said I was owed a $50 credit to my reservation, and the manager refused it on the grounds that he "has a job to protect." This location is completely unprofessional, doesn't honor customer reservations, and doesn't correctly compensate customers when they make mistakes. I will tell my friends in Philadelphia to rent from another location if they can. Avoid the University City location at all costs; dealing with the manage is not at all worth it.

When I showed up for my reservation, I was told that a truck was not available for me and that I would have to wait until someone dropped off their truck. The previous day, I was told from a UHaul rep that there would be a truck for me at this location at 7:30 AM. I had movers coming at 8 AM, and I was not able to be at my apartment before their arrival. It caused tremendous headaches and unnecessary stress in my journey. I would not recommend.

Have the equipment that I reserved. There were multiple people there that reserved a dolly but wasn't available. I reserved the equipment weeks in advance, how hard is it to have it available? The guy working there also mumbled so much I couldn't understand him half the time. I get you don't want to be there but don't make it difficult for the customer too. There was also toe nail clippings in the uhaul. Disgusting.

Train the customer service representative to be more friendly. Also let folks know what late return really means. If I'm supposed to return the truck by 9pm,and I have to do the checkout by myself, is the time spent to do that part of my time? Is Kate return 5,10 or 7 minutes post agreed time or time on the dot?

The discrepancy between a walk-in and mobile pickup needs to be addressed. A reserved vehicle can’t be allocated to more than one individual. I literally waited in line for about 30 minutes, having made my booking to pick up in person 2 days before, only to get to my turn and hear someone had just picked up the same vehicle cos he did a mobile pickup. If not for the customer service personnel, Musa's experience, I would have been greatly disappointed. You can do better in this regard. Thank you

The wait times were insanely long, I was told I couldn’t have the truck for as long as I reserved it for online. I was told the max was 8 hours and I needed a 24 hour reservation. I was told I would have to make a new reservation and pay for it all over again. I was also double charged for the rental.

The problem was that we made a reservation to have the vehicle for the weekend and they said the policy from corporate is that they were only one day rentals now. No one informed us. We were forced to take a box truck which we were not comfortable with. There was junk in it and the side view mirror would not stay in place. It cost us more because of gas and tolls.

It was cramped and I dropped off after hours. So there wasn't personnel. But, the location was full and the lot was a little confusing.

I paid about 104 for a 15ft box truck and 98 for a van.... I don't understand. When i booked online it said 45 for the van but when I asked for assistance once I got to the store it went up to 98...

While we did not have any issues with U-Haul of University City, we did have a terrible experience with U-Haul. Long story short, this was the the third U-Haul location we worked with for the same reservation. We spent 2 hours trying to get our U-Haul, even though we'd made the reservation several days before.

This particular address does not come up when you’re trying to purchase something online even after putting in the ZIP Code six locations came up, but it did not so that may want to be correct

I reserved the truck a few days before and I'm glad I did because Saturday was a very busy day. Location was easy to find. The pick-up process was easy and the staff was nice. Drop off was even easier. Thank You.

I was unable to get the rental via mobile pick up no code was displayed and no video to demonstrate how to open lock was displayed. I did not have the rental and there was no one to help me even at corporate. The app registered that I had the vehicle when I didn't and there was no way to indicate I didn't have it. I chatted with virtual assistant who could not help me either. No one from the center even called once the store was open to verify anything. A terrible EXPERIENCE.

My reservation meant nothing. I waited for an hour and a half only to basically have a new transaction conducted. I did not receive the truck I reserved but instead a larger one which caused considerable difficulty with parking and negotiating cramped city streets. It is not that I wouldn't recommend this location, but after using UHaul I will not use it again and will actively dissuade others from using UHaul in favor of renting vans from services like enterprise and Turo or trucks from alternative providers.

At pickup, the “system”’was “slow” and there was a line of 20 frustrated people. The app was also slow or unresponsive. At drop off, staff had two trucks blocking the return lane and even when they saw returning customers backed up in the street, unable to drive into the facility and return their vehicles (myself included), moved slowly and showed no regard or concern for customers who were needlessly inconvenienced.

The people working at this location were extremely friendly and helpful when things went wrong, but a lot of things went wrong. Engine failure, had to get on the phone with roadside assistance, got issued another truck, both trucks were pretty grimy and both trucks had NO GAS when I took them out. I had to immediately fill up both my original truck, AND my replacement truck.

I reserved the moving truck two months out and a day before I was to pick it up I was told I had to pick it up from a different location, clear across town. So I had to settle on a 10’ one compared to the 15’ I reserved. And to top it off, I requested 24 moving pads and I was told they had none. Sure did have pads to sell but none per my reservation. I was not even offered to use the ones they had for sale. U-Haul needs to take care of their customers. I did not even get compensated for the pads, just you can buy some. The last thing I was ask was to take a trailer with me , I am glad I did not do this , they way they treated me why would I ever help U-Haul ???
