All U-Haul trucks should come with straps, dolly and a ramp. As a customer, I assumed all trucks come with ramps, regardless how close to the ground the bed of the truck is. More than likely, I missed reading the small print that stated this truck doesn't come with a ramp, but in my mind all trucks should come with ramps. It's only smart. Other than that my experience was exceptional.

Mobile check-in took longer than I expected. Also, it wouldn't allow me to do my return. I had to go inside and have the agent do it. She commented that it doesn't work for most people. This could really save time so I would expect the app to work properly. If car rental companies can do it, I'm sure U-Haul can figure it out.

Staff was professional and polite. They kept up with our changes on the trucks; found out the 20' and 15' trucks we couldn't navigate the high entrances without a lot of assistance. We ended up the a van that worked well for us. Karl was flexible throughout the processes, he was wonderful!

The Manager, Karl was pleasant. Didn't mind changing our res twice because us oldsters couldn't get up into the 20' or the 15' without lots of assistance. Finally settled into the van - smooth sailing from there on! I'd used them back in 2020, and will continue to use them. They are Great!!

We have rented trucks numerous times from the Gurnee U-Haul. The trucks are clean and well maintained. I can also definitely recommend the storage units at the Gurnee location on Waveland Ave. First of all, the staff is very helpful and professional which makes everything easy! The entire place is spotless, including the storage unit buildings. It is secure and well lit. Overall, we had a very positive experience and I can recommend them without hesitation.

I select mobile pickup for my rental but it did not work. I had to go into the facility to checkout my vehicle. It just so happened I had gotten there before they closed or I would not have had a rental. Update the app the tell renters to NO DROP THE KEY OFF BEFORE TAKING PICTURES OF GAS/ODOMETER/INSIDE OFTHE VEHICLE. I took pictures with my cellphone but the app did not allow me to upload the pictures--it only wanted photos taken from the app. I had already drop the key so unable to take photos. Inside service young Black gentleman assisted me. He was patient. Helped me load the dolly into the truck. Very helpful and friendly. Great customer service!

Well run, modern facility. Very clean. Moving equipment was readily available. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Many available trucks of all sizes seemingly available at any time. Newly laid concrete and asphalt delayed my move out but, in the end, wasn't an issue. Now there is brand new pavement with WIDE access.

I originally reserved a unit at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Libertyville months in advance. When I arrived, however, I was told that there was no unit of the proper size available. The manager there, Greg, was incredibly helpful and accommodating, apologizing for the situation and helping me get set up with a unit in Gurnee. The staff and conditions at the Gurnee location were great. Despite having a good experience with the staff at both locations, my rating is heavily influenced by the fact that the reservation I made was not honored. It seems to me that this policy creates a lot of avoidable trouble for the U-Haul staff and customers. I feel that it is irresponsible for U-Haul to continue allowing people to reserve units that are not actually available.

They have charge me extra without any reason the staff member did a mistake and I had to pay 50 dollars extra when I tried to reach the manager or another staff member I was on the phone for 45 minutes to an hour and no one helped me and hang up the phone I had a very bad experience and would not recommend very poor management and staffing they don't know what are they doing I have told them couple times to set up a direct deposit and every time they make a mistake and I was the one paying for their mistakes.
