The Elm Dr. location in Mechanicsville, Va is a phenomenal business. I have rented from a number of location-but, that location was by far the best experience I have ever had.

The U-Haul associate working in the office was particularly friendly and helpful. I really appreciate those traits in people these days. It was a joy working with her. I will be sure to recommend not only U-Haul but this exact U-Haul location to family and friends when they are in need of this service. Thank you so much.

The only issue was when all the locks got changed and we didn’t get notified. Once we attempted to enter the unit it took about a week to get a working key to access it. Other than that the unit was clean (besides the expected mouse droppings) and dry at all times.

The entire team at this location was fantastic!! This note below is not something I would post publicly. We have a fleet at the company I work for and I know things get missed by accident. The trailers safety chains are worn thin and the tires on the trailer are thin on tread. I am not a crazed safety person...these are just items that need attention to keep everyone safe and out "of the spotlight" if something were to happen. Trailer performance was great during use.

Good and friendly customer service. Lack of parking on site and tight parking spaces. Facility was generally clean, but I gave a "No" answer above because potholes in between units should be filled. 7 pm is early to close gates, and paying extra for later hours should not be necessary. Always had vehicles ready on time.

CHRISTINE M

Good customer service. Not a big deal, but the rusty large pin connectors at the top of the trailer could use oiling before giving to customer, to make it easier to get in and out. Fixing potholes in the alleyways between storage units would help, too. More parking space.

This was an excellent U-Haul facility. Natasha and staff were super friendly, helpful and informative. The access was good and very clean, and cost was reasonable.

Only negative is the UHaul policy of charging a fee if you don't fold blankets. So we folded them. But it's like a restaurant making you wash dishes after your meal. ;)

I was told that I had a free month month of storage upon renting my truck. I was misinformed by 5 different people that I spoke with,I was given a raggedy truck, and my storage was NOT FREE!!!! I had to end up paying $95 for it!!! All because the people that works through u haul is NOT properly trained or know accurate info!! So yes my entire experience sucked and I will not recommend nor will I ever come back!!

Tasha (the manager) at the Elm Drive location in Mechanicsville, VA was amazing from “Start” to “ Finish”. Her knowledge of products and services of Uhaul was stellar. Her consistent professional demeanor was kind and courteousness throughout each interaction with her. She took the time out to help me understand my options during my “rental unit” lease and even in my moving process and relocation to NY state. Tasha is indeed an asset as an employee in her role at Uhaul and represents the company well. My interactions with her definitely exceeded my expectations. I would definitely rent a storage unit from an Uhual dealer again.
