If the employees could point out documented normal wear and tear, that would be great. Have the ability to test the trailer’s ground, and a way to fix issues on the spot. Employees are really good at this location, helpful and courteous.

The girl that works there heavy set, glasses usually wears a red shirt is very unpersonable. She just sounds like a robot when she answers your questions. Very unhelpful. Sounds like she is reading from a script. I would refuse to deal with her if I EVER went to that location again!!!

The parking lot at this location is an absolute disaster. I had to sit in my vehicle for 15 Minutes just to be able to pull in far enough to get a parking spot. Then I had to wait an hour in line just to get a trailer even though I did online check in. The staff were great, but they need more computers and more staff for rush hours. Also, they need a bigger facility with more parking for customers.

Truck was dirty. Had to be swept out. Ordered Dolly and there was not any on the truck. Held us up from starting to move. The lady with the red shirt heavy set and glasses was very unhelpful. Had to pull every piece of information. Very unprofessional when dealing with people trying to rent trucks. Very ubrupt!!!!!

Would recommend always having a tank filled to full when it is given. It seems like a bit of a scam to have tanks that aren’t filled full. Either the company gets more gas from a client or the client is charged extra for not having enough gas. This is more easily mitigated when a tank can be filled to full.

I booked my trailer a month in advance, when went to pick it up, i was told they have doubled book and there are non available. Very frustrating when I booked a month in advance and was left with no other options. I had to move out of the house and was left in a very bad situation and no one was accepting the responsibility for it.

The customer service was great. The guys were friendly, helpful and clearly frustrated with the ancient computer systems. I have rented from this location many times and it's always the same problem with the computers. I should have been in and out in 5 minutes or less, but instead it was 35 minutes for a pre- reserved pickup. I watched numerous customers turn around and walk out because the wait for service was so incredibly long. This is impacting efficiency and revenue. It's time to remedy the problem.

They understood that my unit was due on the 27th of each month but I did not get my old age pension until the third last banking day at the end of each month.I know that this was not there fault that I always paid the late fee.I really had to thank them.

The only concern I have is the cost to be able to drive one way. It would have been double the expense to be able to level the trailer where we were going there should be some sort of thoughtfulness not to be so expensive since the equipment travels in both directions across Canada.

The computer system was not working correctly, and the transaction had to be entered three times, with my card. No "cancelled" receipt was provided, which made me nervous. The whole place looked like it was rocketing along on a wing and a prayer. When the problems occurred the employee I was dealing with just rolled his eyes and said "Welcome to Uhaul." The truck itself was fine, but I'll be looking for extra transactions on my credit card bill.

Had to put down a security, was told it would be put straight back in my account on return, it wasn't . Now I'm waiting on a cheque that they said would be 4-6 weeks, it's been 8 so far as no cheque. Was given a drop-off location, not the one we wanted. He one we wanted was not shown in the computer, although they are a uhaul dealer, the one they told us to drop at is apparently closed in the winter.

Did a one way trip approx. 400km. Needed to tow my small car home. Rented a truck and car carrier, they gave me a small 10' moving truck as the Uhaul dealer was remote area and couldn't let their pickup truck leave with a no return. But the small moving truck pulled my car with the carrier very well and was not hard on fuel. $100 cdn for 400km towing a car is pretty good fuel consumption to me. The car carrier was perfect and easy to use with all 4 wheels off the ground. Over all, I was pleased with my rental with Uhaul.

The staff at check and and check out were great. We went two evenings last week to pick up stuf from locker after work. The app said access to locker was 0500-2200 so we were there just before 1700. 2 nights in a row there was a heavier set lady working and she was outside and all she kept saying was is your access 24 hrs? She did not actually come up and have a proper conversation with us. Just basically speaking loudly out in yard. I was unsure of 24hr access but was going by app. She wanted name and locker number making us feel like we were causing disruption to something we knew nothing about. Not professional in sorting anything out or taking time to properly discuss. Locker location and acess and use of carts and the in/out using our code was otherwise just fine.

Here's the corrected version: "I appreciate the staff who are always ready to help. This was my first experience with a storage facility. When I got there, I expressed the same sentiment to the staff. The girl who was working there helped me a lot to understand the storage facility (I forgot her name). Highly recommend Princess St. U-Haul storage!"

My storage locker was robbed twice. I lost around 2k worth of stuff (a bike, and some electronics). I have insurance on my Peterborough locker, so I thought I had insurance on this one because I didn't sign an agreement here until after I was robbed- so I assumed it was under the same agreement. Since I don't have insurance here, I'm just out of luck, and I lost all those possessions. No follow up from the manager, no credits given, they wouldn't even show me the video. The staff was nice, but largely ineffective, and didn't take any ownership over the problem. Honestly, the Peterborough U-Haul compared to Kingston is night and day in terms of quality.

I found one girl very rude and ignorant has no clues on customer care especially when we leave money into your paychecks, I was told I'd give that one extra day to remove a bed out of my storage facility they went and put a lock on it and I had to pay an extra month where I lost my keys on 16th had to get a locksmith then that my van broke down cost me $600 to remove my bed that includes the extra $100 fee for an extra month I did not need I went the next day to remove my bed out of the storage locker and there was a lock on the door and the gentleman would not remove it I told the girl never to speak to me again in the phone she speaks with I find some stuff including the manager extremely rude to the people who put a paycheck pockets the manager should have gave me the extra day to remove the bed then the locker would have became available to rent to others, I'm not impressed with the conduct of one girl and one or two staff members there they need to improve their customer relations8

Didi not have a larger unit available as per rep mentioned the morning I visited. I would have appreciated a call to confirm it was the smaller unit and try to find two together. As I booked a truck I received one month free rental but that only applied to one unit not the second that was needed. I feel due to the amount of money I have spent with U-Haul, the second unit fee could have been waived for the month as well.

False advertising. During online reservation of a one-way moving truck I was offered 1-month free storage at the truck pick-up location. Staff denied usage of said storage unit stating I would take advantage of the free month. They stated that policy was to only honor the free storage at the destination. The destination doesn't have a storage facility.

I paid for the storage unit, added items into the unit locked it and left. The next afternoon I return to the unit and find a lock from uhaul on the door that says I haven't paid my fee. So I proceed to front counter and show my receipt for it being paid and was let into my storage unit. This was very inconvenient to say the least. I do not see how paying 216.00 is worth being locked out of my unit the next day, this needs to be remedied or I will leave the facility and find somewhere else to use for storage. Is anyone going to make this better ?

when working/sorting things in our storage unit 1813, the hallway light often went off and made it pretty dark in there. wish the sensor lights stayed on a bit longer.

Hello, The Storage unit was clean and I did not have any problem. But for three months they were charging me extra money and the manager instead of fixing the issue was insulting me that they did not charge me extra money until I called Uhaul customer service and they open a case for me and fixed the issue.

When I was at the location everything was amazing. Wonderful staff and very clean place. I had trouble contacting the office. I live 7 hours away so needed to speak to someone at the facility. I called at least 40 times at different times and no one ever answers the phone. It goes to the call center. The wait time can be an hour to speak to someone and then they are unable to answer the question because they are not at the facility. I even tried speaking to my local uhaul to see if they could get through. The answer was no. Even though it is a pandemic, I think the local phone should be answered. Thanks
