Great helpful staff. Everything was ready as I asked for. Very courteous on return. One strap we found upon return was not working properly of the car dolly so wheel was not secure on the return trip towing a vehicle. Maybe equipment should be checked more often. ( potential dangerous situation when towing a vehicle)

You met all our expectations and was completed in good time. The Niagara Falls location not so much. We originally booked with them a week in advance only to be messaged the day before installation to tell us they only have installers on Saturdays. Why they confirmed it and then sent us another message on how to prepare for our installation is beyond me. We were in the middle of moving and we got screwed by not being able to get our hitch installed when it was promised. At least the Welland Ave location was able to accommodate us a couple days later. Thanks Welland Ave.

The equipment currently in use are fossils, need to be updated, they guzzle fuel like a hungry hippo and move like a sloth, puns aside the trucks need to be upgraded to newer models that consume less gas drive better. Good experience as always with u haul

Are U-Haul broke down at 8 AM in the morning so we lost two hours of moving time with equipment, and after having to wait the two hours for somebody to come get it, they offered no compensation /solution to the last two hours that I lost and I was forced to use my vehicle to do the rest of my moving, after all of this, I get a bill this morning for the gas, even though I only got halfway through my run and estimated mileage, they still charge me. The extra gas didn’t compensate me for the mileage I didn’t travel . Be better! Be more helpful ! Have better communication! Have something to offer!

My truck died with the 4-ways on and so I lost an hour of time but the service to get me up and running was fairly quick. Perhaps a notice to leave the truck running to avoid a dead battery somewhere in the truck

My only suggestion would be to indicate where the customer parking is. I've rented from that location 5 or 6 times and have parked wherever I could find space on the lot. It was only the last time I rented that I found out there's actually a customer parking area. However, it was full but there wasn't any customers in the store at the time. I suspect that it's being used for employee parking. Maybe that's why I don't see any signs indicating where customers can park, just signs saying where they can't.

We had a storage unit for almost 10 years and never opened it. I will say that the amount of damage both from water and from vermin was minimal - we were very impressed. My issue was with one of the employees, I'm not sure if she was the manager but in my 4 dealings with her each was disappointing and her level of professionalism was poor. On one occasion she stood with her back to me for almost 5 minutes, and after several attempts to get her attention she said "I see you, I'm busy putting on a band-aid". She could have led with that rather than making me wait. Another time she was on her phone texting, possibly for business and ignored me and I had to wait until someone else came in the shop to serve me. Another time she was eating and ignored me and I had to wait for the next attendant to serve me. The final time, she was busy talking with another employee about personal matters and I had to wait until another employee (he was very helpful and professional) to come into the shop to help me. Again, if she was busy, a simple "i'm on my break - so and so will be right with you" would have sufficed. It just seems like customers are inconveniencing her. After spending probably 15,000 over the years for storage fees, a bit of customer service shouldn't be too much to ask for should it?

I could not open the door to my unit as i am a disabled senior. I went back into the store to get help. He came out, struggled to get the door open, and even to close it. He even mentioned about the door being stiff. No offer was made to oil it . When I came back later, my husky friend had trouble opening and closing the door. I was upset because I had asked them to call me when another locker opened. After waiting a month, I called myself and they said they had ONE left. I hurried in to hear another person renting a l9cker. People see old people and just ignore them, I always had good service 0reviously, maybe he didn't care as it was a cold windy day. Thanks for your time. Janice Sanvido

My experience was good whenever dealing with staff in person, they were helpful and competent.

I had no problem at all with the staff, they went above and beyond for me!!! Especially Sam the manager. However I will be lodging a full complaint about the two units that I rented!! The one unit which I kept all my furniture in my couch there was a piece about 2 inches long eaten by mice this couch I only purchased three months before I put in storage. The other unit was totally infested with mice and there was a leak in the right corner at the top all the way along the unit all the boxes were soaked and moldy all my clothes were damaged my vases were damaged and the mice had eaten through everything. There was absolutely no perishable goods in that unit there was no reason for mice to be in there!!!I am very disappointed with that I lost a lot of property that meant things to me and because of that storage unit I no longer have them.

Service is great. But I think that they should prorate as well. I only had my things in for a month and a half but I had to pay another full month so I lost out on $53 because they do monthly. Sometimes people find places to live before the end of the second month. I really recommend prorating for this reason.
