They need to start answering the phone. 15 min before closing the door was open but nobody was there, lights were off, open sign off. Walked in and try calling a worker to no avail. As soon as i walked put i heard the door lock. Idk i just didnt want to leave trailer outside and be responsible for it. Tow dolly was very noisy, brakes didnt work. My car brakes got really hot coming down this hill which i had to travel on 4 times during rental

U-Haul and their staff made our moving process from Hawaii to Tucson AZ so smooth and efficient. They provided access to our box at Kona to load our furniture, transport it to the main land and delivered to our home in Tucson as per the agreed date and time and later retrieving the container from our driveway as per the agreed date and time. I highly recommend anyone moving to consider U-Haul as your moving partner. I give them a 10!

I would have loved to give an excellent, because our initial experience was awesome! The young man that checked us in was awesome! He was very helpful and got us in and out rather quickly! The trailer was great, and the price was fair! The only issue was the return! We were greeted by a couple of ladies, one in which seemed like she was annoyed that she had to check us in! 🤷‍♂️ they were not very helpful! Then they tried to indicate that if the lights didn’t work, I would be charged for repair! I have never had anyone check lights upon returning a trailer! Well they had already disconnected it, and had to reconnect it, and I was having to help them figure out how to reconnect it, and this same girl was annoyed to get help from me! She acted pretty incompetent! Anyway!! I will not hold this against uhaul, its is hard to find good help these days! I would also rent from them again. Next time I will just ask more questions, like if I leave with the lights working and come back in and one has burnt out, how much are you gonna charge me for that? This doesn’t seem like damage, It seems like it should be regular maintenance. Anyway, I should just ask more questions! Aloha! 🤙🤙🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤙🤙

When i arrive at the store. They told me i had to schedule a time ti puck up my things and at no where did it say i neeeded to do that. So i had to waste time so they could get my shit ready. Which is bullshit. I drove over two hours for me to fucking wait for them to get my shit out for me. Thats the biggest fucking problem i have. Is no communication between u haul and the stupid app they use for this transfer of my shit. If there was more communication on how this shit works and how to go about getting your shit from them. I will never use u haul again as they suck shit

354.01 total. I am a local resident and there is no discount for locals trying to move. I drove 10 miles out only to find that the dolly was regular not a freezer dolly. I informed them and went back to get what I ordered. They still charged me for that miles. Which I dont feel it was fair. Was charged also for there mistake $35.80 Because I had to return cause they gave wrong equipment. If you are local,I would try enterprise car rental with unlimited millage. But for me enterprise vehicle was all booked. What a bad experience with uhall.

This is the first time my husband and I rented out a U-haul and Elizabeth from the Kona location provided exceptional service. We needed a u-haul truck that included a ramp, and she was quick to walk us through the spaces to ensure we have the right items for our next rental. Thank you, Elizabeth for your kindness and patience. We had the best experience thanks to you and we will be back! Hoping this reaches her!

I picked up the truck at the last moment. The young man was very nice and professional. I just cant recall his name; curly longist hair. I returned the truck early and was met by a younger woman and I pointed out that the bumper was off and that I called it in right away and took pics. The tank wasnot full, it was 5/8 so I took a pic. there was one scratch also without a x sticker. All called in as I was leaving. When I returned, the younger gal was quite professional and said it was also reported by the previous driver. We were cleaning out the cab and forgot there was a doggie bag of poop neatly in its bag and when the store manager opened the door she was just screaming and pretending to throw up? it didnt smell and was in it's doggie bag we had just not gotten it yet. And when I returned the vehichle there were no spots on the public shared strip, so I pulled it into the driveway by the trailors for there was plenty of room. We heard yelling and screaming, I though it was just from the bar at the end of the strip mall, but my partner said it was from a woman at the uhaul. I asked the young woman who was attending to me, and she said it was because she didnt want me to park there. I was already stopped and not backing out for there were no spots andI dont like to back out someone elses vehicle in a crowded lot. So it stayed with the female managers dismay. I think her name is christine; late 30's dark hair with colored streaking. I have rented several times before, when Joe was the manager, and he was quiet and professional. I feel this person, if she is the manager needs guidance and not from me. I was cheerful and gone. Please dont reveal this to her, for I know she will retailiate for my future rentals. Damien the newer fellow was nice and the fellow that registered me was all smiles. The manager was totally out of line. Thanking you in advance for being in business.

A part of the undercarriage came off due to high winds. The plastic piece was duct taped and zipped tied prior to falling off the vehicle. The staff said that it was probably going to fall off anyways because of the weather. Water was coming through the front right corner of the truck bed. None of our materials were damaged and this was during the storm so just wanted to bring it to your folks attention. Aside from that the truck ran smoothly.

The staff at this location is great, but your app not so much. This was my second attempt to use it. Having learned a few things from the first time I thought it would be easier, but it’s not. It takes WAAAY to long to check in and get your truck. Too many steps, too many questions. You should study Hertz. You can do most of the process before you arrive. Then all you have to do is find your car and drive away.

Your app is a joke! This was my first time using it and it is NOT user friendly. It took me half and hour to figure it out by trial and error. The employees were all busy with customers and couldn’t help me. When I finally got to the “Find your rental” I looked and looked and couldn’t find it. Then I saw a young man who suggested I look across the street in another lot. How was I to know there was another lot? So finally I get there and it’s locked! Sooo I go back to the office and get the key, walk across the street to get my truck, open the back to see if the pads I rented were there, and no pads! Sooo I go back to the office to get the pads. The whole process took 45 minutes. It’s easier to just stand in line.

One day last week I came to the locker, there was no parking space at the AC building. 5 of the parking spots for customer to access their locker were occupied by UHAUL rental trucks. Others were occupied by private cars but non were using the Uhaul storage. I noted these UHaul rental trucks were moved with in a few days and they were parked across the street instead of the parking space rightly reserved for those customers. Charles Sun

Well being a client for about 4 years, the rates were augmented at least four times without any notification. I felt that was unprofessional and tended toward scamming the clients. I still feel that we should have been recompensated when it was brought to their attention at least three times. And now that I'm not a client I still feel that this should be recompensated. Therefore I cannot give a superior compliment towards this company. And I shall let others know about this. Unless you forward some form of recompensation in the form of money and apology.

It was very nice to have a safe place for my belongings while in transition. I also appreciated the October refund as I did not think I was going to be able to get it all done in one trip but I did. Having the office open till 7 was great! Thanks for all you do!

Gal, I think named Danielle, who checked us in was so helpful and friendly. We had been moving for days, were exhausted physically and mentally, and she was very calming. Facility is a bit difficult to access. You have to swipe one pad to start, go to other side swipe other pad every time want door open, then swipe original pad when leave. Also zero parking.

I did need to call U-Haul (National, not local) to get on autopay. Had to hold 35 minutes to straighten out. Once I got through, the customer service rep was pleasant, yet professional and very helpful!! However the hallways are cleaned—there were strange items blown or swept under my door and into my unit. Otherwise, VERY good experience and polite local office people (Isaac and another young man should be commended). I will recommend this place to others. The entrance card idea is GREAT!

The only problem I had was I was told my credit card was on file so they would take payment out if I didn’t come in to pay. I came to my storage unit a week later to find a lock on the door. They said I didn’t sign up for auto pay but I had clarified this with the man twice. I decided, moving forward, to pay for two months at a time. I didn’t care for the 15.00 late charge but paid it anyway. People always friendly and helpful. Just a misunderstanding. Thanks.

I planned on having a unit to hold my stuff while I moved into a smaller space, I anticipated staying in there for at least 3 months. Finding a unit was easy because I called ahead and was helped by a wonderful customer service rep. who got me the last one available the very same day. I ended up getting plenty help from my family and was able to move out after the first month (which was FREE by the way) so it didn’t cost me anything! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, would HIGHLY recommend!!!

My experience using this storage facility was amazing until move-out when I was told that the full month that had been automatically charged a few days prior would not be refunded or prorated back to me. I was charged $167.40 for only 5 days which is ridiculous, especially during a pandemic where I lost my job. The man working the desk seemed not clear on the refund or cancellation policies. I would appreciate a refund for the days that were prepaid and not used. Thank you, Elena Hagstrom 808-765-7896
