The experience with the location on New Utrecht was fantastic. But my experience with the company was bloody awful. The app didn’t work, the 1-800 number is useless with people who can’t hejp and pass me off to others, and they sent me to a van and pickup spot that didn’t exist. Hours and hours of nonsense. But when I finally go to new Utrecht, they saved the day.

I was charged 229 then I returned the rental early and used less than half expected miles then my bill changed to 170 but I’m yet to get a refund
Nagi TThey completed everything quickly and easily. Thank you to the U-Haul team! It would be even better if you added more vehicles.
cust rCustomer service here is very low quality. People at the front desk give attitude. The staff handling the vehicle rentals outside are extremely rude, We asked them sime questions being close to them and they act like they dint hear. We have to go literally up to their face for then to answer i guess. Once they do answer they are even more rude, they dont want to help. They act like they wont even want to be there. If they dont like that job they really shouldn’t be there. Very low quality of staff at this location. The only reason i get rentals from here is cause its close to my house. If not i wouldn’t go to this place.
MARCO Svery good service
Victorina SWhen I turn on the AC, a terrible smell comes out
FRANCISCO OThe lady at front desk refused to process pick up process. Instead she said that mobile pick up is only way to proceed pick up. However, i picked up a couple days ago at front desk at the same location wihtout any issues. I meantioned it to her, but she said I got lucky, she wouldn't do it manually through the computer and left the front desk leaving me alone to handle the process via app.
Solbon SNothing
lenny r0/10. This was one of the most incompetent customer service experiences I've ever had. I had a confirmed 5:00 PM reservation at the Prospect Heights location. I completed the online check-in, received confirmation, showed up on time... and they didn't have my truck. Apparently, a confirmed reservation means absolutely nothing to U-Haul. The staff were completely useless. No solutions, no urgency, no accountability. I was essentially told to figure it out myself. Isn't the entire point of making a reservation so the company can provide the vehicle they promised? It took me THREE HOURS to finally secure another truck, and the only option was in Bensonhurst, miles away from where I originally booked. What should have been a quick pickup turned into an all-night ordeal, and I didn't get a truck until around 8:00 PM. During this entire nightmare, no one answered the phone. Not the locations. Not customer service. Calling U-Haul was a complete waste of time. If something goes wrong, don't expect anyone to help you. As if wasting three hours of my time wasn't enough, U-Haul also double charged me. I was charged $90 and then $109, even though the rental should have been around $60. So now I get the privilege of spending even more time trying to fix their billing mistakes. U-Haul failed to honor my reservation, failed to provide any meaningful customer service, failed to answer the phone, and failed to bill me correctly. At every single step, they made an already stressful moving day exponentially worse. What's the point of reserving a truck if U-Haul has no intention of honoring the reservation? Absolutely unacceptable. I will never use U-Haul again, and I strongly recommend looking elsewhere unless you enjoy wasting hours of your day and being charged incorrectly.
Mallory BThe representative who received my vehicle was unesesarily rude. But what is your u-haul going to do about it?
Carlos Cthey were all helpful and knew what to do......I was in and out quick
Maria DI didn't order furniture pad and didn't use it at all but I was charged $10 for furniture pad.
BIN WReally long wait (45 mins once we arrived to when we got our car). Then the app was confusing as to what I was supposed todo in the app vs in person.
will gEs muy bueno esta empresa gracias por su servicio
Jose AEvery time I pick up a van there is less than a quarter tank of gas in it. Either keep them full or offer credit for people to fill up. This is ridiculous and incredibly inconvenient.
Erin Rthe front desk lady was SOOO rude.. both of the ladies at the counter were very off putting. Very rude, useless, and overall terrible help. Extremely condescending as well. I just did the sign up and got my truck through the app after witnessing how they were.
Fawad AThe room for driver is too small. And seats not comfortable. Very hard to adjust, practically impossible.
GIORGI NQuality of trucks.
ANAT KHave a 24 hour worker for after hours drop off. The app isn't easy to use and some people don't have room for more phone apps.
Beth G🤝👌 👍

YECHISKEL MI’m not up on latest features on new cars. Couldn’t find emergency break release when I was trying to start the van. Was given another model that was more manual in set up. Appreciated the change. My regular car is 12 years old so need a primer on newer vehicles.
Jim NExcelente
Flavio RIt was great
Cindy BEverything is fine thank you
howard hWas a great van
YAKOUB HNever want to use Uhaul again after notifying me an hour before my pick up that I have to go an hour away to a different location than I had booked from. If I cant rent from a location just tell me don’t lie to get my money and then fuck over my plans because you can’t be honest about where your rentals are located. Fuck Uhaul money grab bullshit
Miles KThere was some problems with the equipment and the staff helped to fix issues with the lock. I appreciated that effort
Noah LI would recommend that the company program platform to be improved and a system that if the computer fails another way to make it easier for the workers to be able to perform their duties
Robert PThe check in process need to be quicker. over 15 min to be my turn to get check in at the counter.
Raymond HSolo que sus trabajadores no fumen mariguana dentro de los carros por fabor el olor es demasiado
FRANCISCO OAlways good
ENRIQUE Jinsufficient staff, and those who do work there look overworked

NANCY S | Overall ExperienceGood spot
Raymond M | Overall ExperienceEverything was very clean and in working order , the workers were helpful and professional
MICHAEL JThe staff has horrible disposition. Specially the male workers
amaury aI was charged 3 times and my bank held over $900. No one in the location could help me. I then had to run another card to get access to the Uhaul and had no money to pay for other things that needed to be paid for that say. Some people live paycheck to paycheck you know!!!!
Adelita GA bit slow on the pick up and I was the first customer there
Nephtali RThe truck was given to us on empty. We returned it with gas and then still charged us over $100 for gas. Insane.
Kyle KThe truck was not available at the reserved time which caused a delay in our moving schedule. There were many 15' trucks on the lot but according to management none of them were "approved for transfer" so we had to wait for the people who rented the truck before us to return before we could pick up. It was really frustrating and meant that we had to reschedule our moving help in NY, cleaners, and moving help in Crozet - delaying our move by a day.
Julie HCustomer service was great.

GIUSEPPA M | First ImpressionsWe have never rented a trailer before. The lady set up our vehicle herself. I am grateful that we were given a storage unit for 1 month so we could unload the trailer. Your staff that I encountered were very helpful and knowledgeable. I will recommend uhau to all friends and family.

Saby C | First ImpressionsI reserve a truck utilizing self-tour; yet still spent over an hour to get the keys for a van. Vans were not clean neither tidy. Gas was on EMPTY as I drove off the lot. Staff were ghetto!
Samuel G | Overall ExperiencePlease be clear about how the movers are an option the customer has to pay for
Justice V | First ImpressionsThe check in process is horrendous. We are forced to use an app instead of getting help from the staff that is there. This makes not sense. And WAY too expensive compared with competitors in the same area. The facility looks like it's falling apart. Your competitors actually take care of their locations. Just an awful experience.
Luis V | Overall ExperienceHelped me from start to finish. Even helped move drop off location which helped me save a lot of time.
JUAN S | First ImpressionsI mean in general, I appreciate any store be opened early and closing late. Moving in or out is a very big deal, so having a store always available when the customers are is always going to be ideal.
RUTH S | First ImpressionsGreat service! Thank you
YURIYA L | Overall ExperienceThe team at Uhaul Bensonhurst were helpful and professional. I highly recommend this location for all storage and moving needs.

michael g | Overall ExperienceGreat staff!!!!
ASAD K | Overall ExperienceYou charged so much for small storage. You were ridiculous with the late fees and charges. I would rather you keep my items then pay for your storage. Never again
Ralph G | Overall ExperienceI like to thank the staff, they all were helpful; thank you
KEVIN C | Overall ExperienceIt took 3 weeks to get a card to gain access in..It was horrible that i had too experience this to get to my property. Wasted my time..
Elliott L | Overall ExperienceThe people at customer service are very nasty, in a way very discriminating towards the Spanish, that was the feeling I experienced. Two times I ask that I need a storage in a ground floor because I couldn’t lift heavy stuffed and the first time was given to me but the second time they refused because I didn’t come with the rented car, even though I had expended over three thousand in rents at you company..
Jose H | Overall ExperienceKimberly was a godsend, helping to answer all my questions and make sure I had what I needed. She's a gem!
Christopher B | Overall ExperienceThe customer service was incredible BUT, the storage facility was not great. You had to climb a ladder to add heavy items into the top storage level. This facility needs to be updated asap.
Natalie P | First ImpressionsThe cost for such small and somewhat discomforting. a room was way above the average cost I transfered to a storage room almost twice as big for $75.00 a month less with a building nicer and cleaner and more hrs...
Padilla H | Overall ExperienceThe place had no stairs and I risked my life climbing stairs that was very unstable I was told by the 800 number that I would get a ground floor storage room for my heavy wheels and of course I was lied to like my previous rentals in New Jersey this was once a good company but my last two rentals make me rethink my business with them
danny l | Overall ExperienceGreat service all around, clean, well-lit and secure lockers with individual sprinkler systems installed. Highly recommended.
GARYDREW E | Overall ExperienceI had rented out a storage unit since 2018. I just recently moved out. I will definitely recommend this location to others. Ms. Dahlia and Daphne are the best. It was a pleasure. Stay safe and be well
paulette t | Overall ExperienceI wish there were more ground level units. after having a stroke, its hard to climb in and out of the second floor unit.
Nasima A | First ImpressionsGood staff helpful ,good hours Yes definitely recommend to Family and friends. This location
Manzoor K | Overall ExperienceThe Hispanic gentlemen’s at the counter was very good answering my questions and the gentlemen who showed me the unit was very friendly with pleasant personality. Thank you all

Karen P | First ImpressionsGood customer service. Would recommend to others.
susan m | First ImpressionsThe customer service was very accommodating and accurate. She spoke very nicely and pleasant, even gave me a compliment. Every establishment should have a person like her working for them.
SILVANA I | First ImpressionsVery clean space, very professional staff and Friendly safe place to take you thing.,
Joel R | Overall Experiencethe employees really tried to help. i was a frazzled mess upon arrival and they helped me get organized and unloaded with as little stress as possible. i really appreciated that.
Anna B | First ImpressionsThe staff was very nice and very helpful. Review not an Excellent because the storage unit I reserved i was told unavailable when I got there and had to rent a more expensive unit on ground floor.
peter b | First ImpressionsThe customer service was horrible. The girl at the front desk seemed very lazy and unpleasant. The actual storage room being offered was horrendous and needs to reconstructed. No thanks.
John Q | First ImpressionsI've been a uhaul customer for close to 40yrs., this is by far THE WORST MANAGED and Worst experience I have ever had in my life. Will never use Uhaul AGAIN, they lost a Good Customer!
