It's always a good experience at this establishment, thanks

I had Mechanical issues with my van I called the dealership four times and couldn't get a live person I also called roadside assistance and customer service and also could not get a live person and was on hold for over an hour
Pendleton J.Theres just one poor schmuck running around in 100 degree weather trying to help everyone. Highly understaffed. All the customers suffer as a result.
David A.AWESOME TEAM
DOUGLAS C.Arrived early and the truck was ready to go. Everything worked out really well. It was a great experience all around.
Richard C.Awesome!
DOUGLAS C.Such a great staff, that I keep coming back again and again. Thanks!
Richard B.Need more employees at check in. Waited 15 minutes while employee helped one person. Online check in is pointless when there's only one person handling people in line!
Brian B.Wash your trucks !! Mine hadn't been washed in weeks !!
Claude S.Nothing, it was a great experience.
Patrick G.More counter people to service customer.
Don A.The truck rented had a ‘check engine' light on and continued to stall when driven. The mileage of the vehicle when I checked out was not correct on my invoice it was over 100 miles less than the truck actually had on it. The check out process was unprofessional. The agent informed me he would correct the miles in the system. When I returned the truck the agent said I agreed to the miles. I drove <15 miles. They charged me for over 120 miles driven. I returned the truck early due to the check engine light. The agent said it was ‘my problem' and would be charging me for the full amount as well as the additional mileage. I believe the location is fraudulent. Other customers in line where complaining about other things as well. Your employees didn't seem to care. I will be finding a formal complaint as well as potential litigation.
Michael N.Trailer we ordered was not available even though we were told it was via telephone. Open trailer we were was dirty on the tailgate. Looked like horse doo.
Randi P.Make sure the A/C works
maria R.This location has always been slow when it comes to picking up or dropping off. However, some of the employees are helpful at times

Alexandra G.Good staff-- BAD truck
peter B.Truck was clean, ramp was dirty
Donald K.Staff needs better training. It took FOREVER to pay for a simple one day use of an appliance dolly.
Ribery G.The staff was polite and respectful. Great experience from this location
Israel S.Check in issue. Showing still in transit, took time to resolve
Greg M.I believe his name was Marcus? Or Steve? White male, very nice, knew what he was doing. Matter of fact he was the only one who knew what he was doing. Light skin male.. Asian looking, possibly Mexican mix? This guy probably doesn't even know where he is at half the time… let's just say that. Black male.. errrm… he claimed hooking up the trailer to my vehicle was so easy. Guess it wasn't easy for him bc I had to go back to the store to have my hitch flipped (I drive a Kia Optima) the trailer was dragging completely on the road when I first left bc the black male didn't think to flip my hitch..Marcus or Steve (can't remember) helped us when we had to come back to the store. A Mexican with fluffier hair seen me pull back in, and immediately seen the issue that the black male didn't seem to care about. Fluffier hair Mexican guy and Marcus/Steve should be managing that mfer. These other folks GOT TO GO!! Or need a lot more training
Michelle P.The gentleman who checked us in was anything but welcoming. He seemed “lobotomized,†for lack of a better term. We had reserved a furniture dolly, but none was available; I asked what would happen if I had depended upon the dolly yet wasn't able to get one, and he replied, “I don't know.†He gave us our keys but failed to tell us what to do outside, so we went looking for our truck ourselves until another customer pointed out that we had to wait for the attendant to get it for us. Ugh. As an employer, I would have fired him on the spot. In contrast, the gentleman who checked us in at the return tent was a pleasure to work with; positive, friendly, and actually smiled. He left us with a favorable impression of the business.
Barry S.I will never rent here again. No one checked me out or in. Had to hook up and disconnect by myself. And there were no customers on the lot but me!! Horrible service. Always extremely slow at the desk too!!! You should refund my rent!!!
John D.The agent at the front desk inside could be a bit friendlier. Barely responded to anything I said. Except for low mumbles I could barely hear and no eye contact.
DANIEL B.nothing. on time and very efficient check out.
armour B.Excellent price and excellent service.
Jon A.The check ion person was GREAT! Very helpful and quick to take care of me. Best experience ever!
BRIAN J.Excellent experience. Convenient and the staff is friendly. Thank you
nichol L.Rates kept increasing to the point of ridiculous.
William D. | Overall ExperienceThe two employees that helped me were extremely nice and the facility is well kept.
SYLVIA H. | First ImpressionsSome guy name Spencer took care of me. He was very cool. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Great experience.
GARY C. | First ImpressionsSpencer, did a great job addressing my concerns. I think Uhaul needs to focus more on securing this location much better. Spencer told me they were building the fences higher to keep people from getting. One of my locks was cut off after less than 24 hours in my unit. Spencer took great care of giving me the proper locks and making sure I had insurance on my belongings. Great job Spencer. It was greater service then what I received in Phoenix by far.
James M. | Overall ExperienceAll the staff was AMAZING. So helpful and friendly
Noemi B. | First ImpressionsVery happy with the reasonable rate. In the storage unit area, there were many rental trailers and trucks stored in the driveways between the buildings, which made it a little tricky to maneuver through with a truck pulling a trailer.
Michela S. | First ImpressionsThe Phoenix staff very helpful, except one person.
James M. | First ImpressionsExcept for the the guys who were working Christmas Eve when I returned my trailer. I will most definitely be talking to the manager Spencer about it.
Deanna W. | First ImpressionsOur storage unit got broken into and they failed to even contact us. FOR TWO MONTHS. Only reason we found out is because my husband and I went down there. Would NOT recommend.
Kayla G. | Overall ExperienceOne employee on a Friday afternoon trying to help 20+ customers. Long wait time to return gate remote. Never able to access real person at location by phone.
Ivy F. | Overall ExperienceWe moved from Washington state. Everything U-haul has been above expectations! I am so impressed,. Everything has been perfect every step of the way. We have not unloaded our U-boxes yet to see if we packed them well.
James E. | First ImpressionsThe team was Awesome from greet to finish!!!
Shane K. | First Impressionsnice good group, great experience
rems t. | First ImpressionsService was great
Jeffrey B. | First ImpressionsSpencer Holt was awesome. He knows how to handle various customers professionally while leading a team. I had a very pleasant experience. Everything went as it should have.
Steven A. | First ImpressionsYou need to pave all the areas as if moving carts are being used and not having ramps at the entrance to the indoor storage is just dumb. Don't put up signs bragging about the indoor temperate being controlled when on the few occasions I actually showed up it wasn't even close. There is a real issue with telephone communication at this location. I'm guessing management is either overextended or just doesn't care but many simple issues that could be solved were kicked down the line adding to really everyone's additional time wasted. Have someone that can take care of the phones and I'll bet you won't have any bad reviews or irritated customers as I've noticed on most visits there's always one or two upset folks: There's got to be someone at home that could go on payroll and quickly resolve most problems . You have sone really great workers there and you've got some lousy ones but honestly neither seen to stay. U-Haul is a smart company and kinda quietly crept up and made itself the only affordable ish option for moving and storage but I can't say I really love it like everything about it . This location is ok but it's just because it's really the only game in town. I've found better prices and better service within a half mile but I did have to wait for a space and of course they don't rent trucks , so thank you for the space it was clean and available.. I don't mean to be a jerk I'm just being blunt. You obviously have a good business, I think it could be a great one with a few improvements. It's interesting that not getting good service lingers and kinda leads a good customer away when the cost to actually take care of it was so little. You'll do well regardless I'm sure:
Jeffrey C. | Overall ExperienceI had signed up for auto pay and then was charged a late fee. I got the fee reversed but was still very annoying that it wasn’t processed properly.
Stephen A. | Overall ExperienceVery satisfied w/all UHAUL has to offer!
Eileen C. | First ImpressionsThank you
JOHN A. | Overall ExperienceNo Garbage Containers Security gate often broken, so getting in was possible for anyone.
THOMAS S. | Overall ExperienceWe were so relieved to discover we got a month of free storage with our one way rental. Our home buying experience did not allow us to move directly in..in fact it took 4 additional months!! We had to pay for 3 months and were so glad our unit was air conditioned. A staff member verified all the units were secured twice daily by physical inspection. And for secure?...you had to use your gate pass to also exit every time you came. Video surveillance was also used. If we ever move again...U-Haul is our choice.
Michael F. | Overall ExperienceExcellent customer service the customers were very rude but the manager and staff handled everybody well and treated everybody thoroughly would definitely recommend this location
Matthew J. | First ImpressionsPhone calls are routed to 800uhaul and hold times are over an hour.
Ivy F. | First ImpressionsThanks for the experience!!
WALTER W. | Overall ExperienceI was very satisfied with everything thank you w
Joseph S. | First ImpressionsEvery time we went our it was like an obstacle course! U-haul vehicles and has block our row since day one. Have to ask an employee to move vehicles and trailer blocking both access roads to our unit, multiple times. Have to wait 15-20min. pain. Check yourself row G19. So, we had to move to another storage facility
mel h. | Overall ExperienceThe entire time I was moved in, the staff could not provide me with an access code or card. They repeatedly told me the gate controls were broken and being fixed. They never were. I had to call over the intercom to be let in. One evening they left for the day with me and my vehicle in there and I had to hop the fence, leave my car, and have my wife pick me up. Would not recommend.
Robin D. | Overall ExperienceI found all the employees were always willing to help as needed and friendly
Michael A. | Overall ExperienceOffice staff could care less about customer service. It is only because I live in L.A. during the week that I keep my belongings stored here. The vermin droppings in the storage area is disgusting.
PAUL D. | First ImpressionsEmployees not wearing very protective masks. Just scarves over their faces. The Uhaul company need to provide masks that protect both the employee and the customer from the employee. I did not continue with my rental because of a price increase. I was told that the vehicle I rented had 1/2 tank of gas instead the vehicle had only a quarter tank. Fortunately I caught it before driving off. The truck bed was not clean.
Ronald L. | Overall ExperienceI found it impossible to communicate with my local UHaul agent regarding my storage. Saving money this way for your company does not make friends. I waited up to an hour and never did connect with a question that could’ve only been answered by my local dealer.
Ronald C. | Overall ExperienceThe customer service representative on the phone booked my free month of storage while I was traveling across the country and then emailed the details. When I arrived in California everything was set up. So easy! Thank you.
CARA J. | First ImpressionsThe staff was very helpful when we moved in as well as when we moved out. I was very pleased when they called me to check to see if we moved out when they found the unit empty. You guys all ROCK.
Ronald H. | Overall ExperienceGreat people with focus on speed and great customer service!
David B. | First ImpressionsI rented a 20 ft truck to go 1 way to cat city & was told I got a few storage for a month. I was told it wAs 10x8x5. (It’s your business & you should know that a 20 ft truck worth of stuff won’t fit 1/4 of my belongings in, so what should have taken 4-5 hrs took all day (I’m disabled w a broken neck). I had to move my stuff to a different storage then bring the truck back. I would expect some kind of refund or a free truck for my reservation on the 8th as the 3 things & confirmation # were wrong. I have all my documentation copied & ready to go to the bbb if you don’t come up w a solution for me b4 3/8/21 thank u Richard Nicolas. 951-295-9139
richard n. | Overall ExperienceSpencer,Mgr, and his staff were professional, competent, pleasant. Highly recommend their services!
Mary H. | First ImpressionsKyza was fantastic.
Ronald H. | First ImpressionsI had difficulty with the hasps on the locker. Two uhaul locks were very difficult accommodate to the hasps. The employees were great and very helpful. Maybe U-Haul should look at a better engineered hasp system hardware. A new hasp designed from the ground up would not be inappropriate.
JOSEPH G. | First ImpressionsExceptional customer service! Max and Bryan were very helpful and knowledgeable and very efficient. Great experience!
Melissa H. | First ImpressionsIt was hard to go to the office, it was always busy with long lines. I had to wait on many occasions to pay cash for my unit for a long period while the cashiers helped customers with rentals.
Janie R. | Overall ExperienceThis place is great. The staff, while busy, was extremely friendly and provided excellent service.
Jeremy S. | Overall Experiencefront gate has been broke and off to the side for a month, lacks security
Samuel V. | Overall ExperienceThe staff and facility are excellent. The only reason for a less than excellent rating is the wait time I experience at multiple U-Haul locations and all times of the day or month or week. It appears U-Haul could upgrade your systems to help support your staff. Everything seems to take too much personal intervention. The new ap is an improvement, for sure, and keep it up. Thanks
Sarah W. | First ImpressionsIn Our World Hospitality Has Come Forward. The Word Has Morphed Into Representing A Vast Majority Of How As Humans Deserve To Be Treated Especially Today. From Renting The U-Haul thru Returning. Pure Pleasure. Thank you (Davis)(Palm Springs) Your Hard Work Has Allowed My Moving As We All Know Is Stressful To Become Easy Fun And Exciting. Thank You All Your First And Last On My List.
ralph p. | First ImpressionsThe facility itself was fine, and the service I received actually went above and beyond; but I cannot recommend this location. During the 5 or 6 times I visited the office, there was always at least one employee inside (usually more) with no mask. Those who did have masks often would only wear them when customers entered, or would wear them improperly (many customers followed suit). It does not take a rocket scientist to understand how masks work, but many of the employees at this location seem to either not understand or not care. I should mention that there was one female employee (blonde) that seemed to always have her mask on, and she should be duly commended. Sadly most of the other employees working inside (predominantly the young males) didn't seem to take it seriously whatsoever.
Joshua D. | Overall ExperienceGive the worker who helped me a raise. He's great!
Jeremy S. | First ImpressionsThanks for your very fine help with my storage and U-Box.
Ann S. | Overall ExperienceI was told that I was to receive a 10x15 unit and was given a reservation number. When I arrived at the location, I was told that they couldn't locate my reservation and that there were no more units available in that size. I had just driven 590 miles, had a truck full of items to be stored and I was extremely tired. This was not good news. The young man behind the counter was kind and pleasant but could only offer me a 10x10. I accepted it because I had no other options at that point and had to take a lot of items to the dump.
Sandra B. | First ImpressionsI am extremely unhappy! I was given a trailer with retread tires and one came off during the trip, costing me $123 to buy a new one. Then when getting to my end destination, I was charged insurance on the storage unit, but never got one, even though I had one reserved! This meant that I had to book in overnight in Palm desert costing me $ 156 so that I am able to arrange a storage unit elsewhere the following day at a more expensive rate. So no, I am not happy, but this will be heard by everyone I know, and I will post this on my LinkedIn profile where I have in excess of 1,000 top CEO's and Presidents of Companies as connections. So, I will leave the ball in your court and give you until Monday afternoon to decide how you are going to compensate me for this massive inconvenience!
Anthony v. | Overall ExperienceOur first contact was with a employee named Jose. He was rude and unhelpful. We asked if we could get the 1 month free storage so we could unload our truck on 6/10 and then go unload the remainder of our belongings and then turn the truck in. It was 104* that day! It was 11am and the truck was not due to turn in until that Friday 6/12. He rudely said No! and would not discuss it. As we were leaving two other employees both named Chris were amazing and helpful. They proceeded to get in contact with Whitney the asst mgr. who was amazing as well. WE were able to get into the storage unit and off load the items and then turned the truck in earlier than expected. What is a shame is the very first contact we had with anyone in Palm Springs was Jose. JERK! Thank you Whitney and both Chris's. You all were helpful and changed our day into a positive experience.
stacy J. | First ImpressionsFast, professional and friendly
debi s. | First ImpressionsRudy and his team are the best! Very well run facility!
Bernd H. | Overall ExperienceThis U-Haul facility is a model for a well managed and operated representative of the U-Haul business. From start to finish, my experience was exemplary in all ways...especially customer service. An area too many companies/businesses seem to have either forgotten or dismissed as a necessary/significant aspect worthy of the time it takes to show (not just say) that their customers matter and are appreciated.
Maria P. | Overall ExperienceExcellent Staff!! Friendly!
don t. | First ImpressionsThe closure slide on the storage door was stuck and I've had to have help opening and closing it both times I visited. I hope it's fixed before I'm back again!
Richard T. | First ImpressionsMoving is at the top of the list of things I hate doing. However I must comment that renting from Uhaul was the easiest & hassel free experience of the move. Just wish there was better or more lighting since it gets dark so early. Thanks you Uhaul.
Alison E. | First ImpressionsStaff here goes above and beyond!!! when it comes to customer service, which seems to be a lost art these days.
Maria P. | First ImpressionsThe staff and facility @ this Cathedral City, Ca location, in my opinion, is an excellent model of a well managed, well staffed and well maintained facility and how they all should look and run.

Gail L. | ReservationOutstanding customer service. No complaints.
Anna M. | Overall ExperienceBrand new 26 foot truck drove perfectly!!! The representatives at the Sidney B.C. office were so accommodating and nice to deal with. The Palm Desert one way drop reps also very pleasant. Thank you
STEVEN C. | ReservationWhen we arrived at the facility for our reserved storage unit, the unapologetic clerk informed us there were no units available. WTF! What ‘s the point of reserving a unit if you don’t honor it!
DIANE T. | ReservationPhone rep said that there would be a storage unit available to move into. When I arrived with a loaded truck, turns out I was one of TEN “reservations” for ONE vacancy. NO WHERE TO STORE MY STUFF!!
Kevin G. | Reservationgreat service, spot on knowledge, just great.
Alexander C. | Overall ExperienceExcellent customer service
John G. | ReservationTwo attempts moving Country failed due to no storage unit available after it was booked, confirmed and double checked. Very disappointing.
BERND H. | Reservationgreat staff,clean,easy to find

Kenneth M. | Overall ExperienceRudy is truly amazing and goes up and beyond to help his customers
christine ann m. | Overall ExperienceApparently a known glitch in the system was responsible for no storage the day we arrived. The staff was as helpful as they could be- however were unable to honor our agreement-
Louis D. | ReservationI was so impressed with the great service and will always recommend u-haul to anyone who needs your services.
Jonelle J. | Overall ExperienceGreat experience

ZELLDA M. | Overall ExperienceThe only downside was at times where the trucks where parked. Made it hard to get to the units..
Paula P. | Overall ExperienceGreat service but way understaffed at the busiest times. I am a patient person, but I could see a lot of customers getting frustrated by the long wait times. Other than that they were great.
