The staff manager on duty was fantastic. He had multiple people all going out at the same time and was kind, motivated and very supportive to us all. He was quick with the paperwork and excellent with the rental checkout process. Great customer service.

William was great to work with. He went above and beyond with making sure we were taken care of, even with his system having issues/being down when we came in. He had excellent customer service skills and was great in making sure we were taken care of.

If I reserve a dolly it’s because I needed it and there was not one dolly for me to use

If we get it during weather conditions and a blizzard next day or something let's us bring it when we can for our safety and for the van or truck or trailer. But yes I loved the price and forgot her name that worked there. But she was very helpful and understanding.

Love the company and have used you for 45 years. But: 1. I made a reservation for Ames Iowa pick up and days passed before I got notice that I would have to pick up the tow dolly in Urbandale. I do get that it would affect the bottom line to tow it to where I wanted to get it from.... 2. New tires😄 but one was not balanced well. 3. Well engineered vehicles!❤️

Make sure customers understand how to check in rentals …I was not informed of the process and it cost me hour of my time and 69 miles rounds trip I already dropped the trailer off at ziggy when I was done they were closed i firgued if call Monday and check with them ..however the app would not let me I had to gkk on back to ziggy 40 miles outta my way whennthere was a U-Haul in Ottumwa ..that was dumb ..!! And U-Haul created unnecessary travel waste time and $$ ..MY TIME MY $ all because you done have other options for customers to check in on the app …you should not have to spend 15 mins taking a bumch of picture.and you charged me twice Which I don’t understand..

They gave me the wrong trailer and call me to come back to Urbandale to switch for another. I drove 20 minutes each way (x 2) for a total of 80 minutes on my moving day. Urbandale told me they would give me 50% off my rental for the inconvenience. I have not been reimbursed for that yet and want to make sure they keep their promise.

I understood that I ordered a truck with a ramp. The truck did NOT have a ramp and we had to go to Home Depot to rent ramps. When I searched the sites for trucks with ramps, I selected one of the two. Please make sure you have more clear advertising.

Your employee was working hard but was alone. We tried to do the phone rental but couldn’t make it work. Several other people had the same problem. Frustrating for your worker who was doing their best AND for us who left over 30 mins after planned due to pickup issues

Husband waited in designated place to drop truck. After 20” I found him still waiting, like the sign said. Went inside and guy at counter said you just leave it. (Well, having dropped half dozen trailers, that sure isn’t clear. ) Parking sucks, too. Couldn’t see what was happening with husband on far back side of building, and he exhausted from moving and stuck waiting in record heat. I’m not happy.

Inexpensive and went of smoothly. This is my first moving truck rental so I havr no frame of reference, though. I did nptice that the location was a bit understaffed, which led to some issues when I returned my truck.

Service was extremely fast efficient and friendly. When I come to a u-haul location it is always fairly evident that the people working are extremely busy but they get the job done very quickly. If I was to point to an area of improvement, I would say the parking is a bit constricted and cramped which makes it difficult to maneuver - but I'll also add I think this is common of most u-haul locations and I can understand the reasons behind it.
