The truck had a 1/4 of a tank of fuel at pickup. I was told to just bring it back with a 1/4 of tank. How do you judge that on a 1000 mile journey. It had 1/2 a tank on returning it. No compensation and no standard to set to. Yet if it was brought back on empty I would be charged. Windshield was covered in bugs. My wife wiped down the cab.

Give this man a raise. He was so helpful with the hookup of the trailer and meeting time. Once I returned the trailer he was very polite and very very nice. Great person operating this U-Haul.

Richard was great. Made drop off easy. Location was not marked well. I drove around twice and happened to notice uhaul key drop off on side of a trailer attached to a parking lot. Luckily richard was outside to wave us in.

Drop-off location was a gravel parking lot with a drop off box for the keys, there was no interaction with personal. It was the closest drop-off point to my home,which is why I choose to drop off my rental there.

I was very satisfied by the service I was offered. The person made it easy for me before even heading to the uhaul parking lot. He took all his time to explain and finish my reservation before getting to the lot. Once there , it was just pick and go.

I was charged cleaning fee. I have uploaded the photos to app, there was nothing required to be clean. Even the rep, that i spoke to over phone, could not find anything to be cleaned. Hidden Charges, which is not fair. I was charged for the fuel, i brought the vehicle with the same amount of fuel, that i was handed over. Again, unfair trade practices. I was charged for the dolly and hand truck and when i asked to have that, they say they dont have it. So, i had to purchase a hand truck, which costed me $100 as other U haul dealers stated that they cannot provide me a dolly or hand truck as i did not rent a truck from them. Also, i got the truck late after waiting for almost an hour at the Jaymann Nisku location. I got the truck at around 11:30 am on 28 Feb. Further, i got a message that i have to return truck at 2 Feb 4 am, which is not 2 days, that is there in the truck. Uhaul is worst. I wont recommend and neither use u haul in the future. Their services are worst, so are the neighbourhood dealers. Hire some professional people and stop ripping off customers

everything was great - the left turn signal on the trailer was flakey - but not sure if this fault is in the truck connection or trailer wiring. Otherwise the people were extremely helpful and it served my purpose really well.

There was no key drop box anywhere to be found. I was never told or shown where it was so I had no choice but to leave them on the door step to this sketchy trailer! Would never go there or recommend this place to anyone! Total dump!

Have an actual office. Standing in the rain in a parking lots seems pretty ghetto. Had to take 26’ when I booked a 15’ so the mileage was brutal even with half a load. Not the location but,this truck was a lumber wagon. Every bump felt like a brick to the kidneys. Other then tget,it did what I needed it to.

They didn’t have the truck we asked for a month and a half before but it was all confirmed, we wanted a 26 foot truck and the only truck they said they could give us was a 10 foot truck because the person has had the 26 foot truck for an extra 12 days than they were supposed to and no one looked into it, we got there at 9am to pick up our confirmed truck and had to wait until 1045 for a 16 foot less truck. So instead of having to just do one move trip we had to go back and forth multiple times and so it ended costing us so much more money and we lost so much time with our move they also didn’t have the dolly or the furniture mats we confirmed with to. All they said was the $50 they can give which is on the website for their mess up but it ended up costing me way more money than it was supposed to because I put about an extra 100km on that truck due to multiple trips plus had to put more gas than I should have in it. Not happy at all and I want something done about this, we should not have had to pay an extra for km at the least because of their mess up.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND GETTING THE APP!!!!! Seems well organized and it makes the process easier. I also recommend choosing the call back option when making a reservation. I got a call back in a reasonable time frame. If you end up needing roadside assistance, the app lets them know your exact location. Hope this helps.

I was very pleased with my experience renting the uhaul I had reserved. The truck was clean and had a full tank of gas upon pick up. The customer service received was excellent and efficient. The gentleman was very nice and friendly. Drop off was easy and efficient. The only issue I had was the appliance dolly I had rented was not usable as one of the wheels was broken. But otherwise a very good experience. I would recommend renting a truck from here.

It’s just a parking lot. We went to pick up our U-Haul and he had no knowledge of it. He didn’t really help us to get another one. We scrambled to get another truck. The online chat was very helpful. When we went to drop it off at 5 no one met us. Whoever it was did send someone to our home to pick up keys.

The original trailer that I booked was not available although I booked it long in advance. This is the second time that this happened. Previously I had to drive nearly 500 km round trip to pick up the truck I booked.

We drove 14 km and were over charged on many things. And when I called to ask why 100 dollars extra was taken out of my account they wouldn’t answer my questions WORST PLACE EVER TO GET A U-HAUL FROM And he was rude everytime I called him. EVERYTIME. I hoped it would get better but nope kept on getting worse each time. I didn’t even think it was possible to get worse but he kept on finding a way

I've been a long-time U-Haul user, frequently moving with friends in Fort McMurray using various U-Haul trucks ranging from 26 feet to 10 feet, finding them to be reliable. However, today, the truck I rented for moving work costed me more than the 26 feet and 20 feet trucks I used earlier this month under the name of Matt Hull. When I questioned this with your representative, they insisted that the pricing was correct and couldn't be adjusted, leaving me contemplating renting from another company. Despite this disappointment, the truck's performance was remarkably comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Additionally, I consistently need a 26 or 20 feet truck six times a month, so this pricing discrepancy has left me very disappointed and considering alternatives.

Drop off location has no store front, and is run out of an apartment. (apartment block above strip mall). Had to go into the hairdresser's to ask there location, they are getting feed-up with people coming into to ask where they are located. No one came down to look at the trailer at drop off, just stood on their balcony as I dropped off the trailer. Once I leave I'm no longer responsible. Great that they are open late!! Thank-you would use again.
