This is not Tracy Bonner but I keep getting his/her emails in error. I am in disbelief that it is so complicated to have the email changed. I have attempted several times to have this issue resolved. I call and get transferred several times. It is not my responsibility to follow up. Tracy and uhaul have been notified. Please contact Tracy and fix the problem.
Tracy B. | Overall ExperienceThe end where my storage was the light doesn't work so it is very dark on that end.
VONCELLA R. | Overall ExperienceWhen renting U-Haul storage unit from Rockledge FL facility in November, there was a half hour wait in line and the staff was not friendly and it felt that you were an imposition to their day. It made for an uncomfortable atmosphere for all the customers. When returning there to purchase more boxes, paper and tape it was a long wait as the first time, though there was only me and one other person and the unfriendly staff were still unfriendly!
Pamela D. | First ImpressionsThis office is hard to get in touch with. I had to drive multiple times from Merritt Island to Cocoa to get things done. There was a fire door that was broken upon my moving out that prevented some things from being moved but we found a way thanks to one manager (Misty). I also had a lock on my unit when my account was paid and it was like pulling teeth getting that lock off for two days I fought to get it off, my fiancé was ready to cut it off. We had a truck rental just to move my stuff out, well because of the hassle of the lock issue, Misty ended up being able to calm my irritation by waving the fee no matter how late the truck was returned. So Misty is the one who made me less irritated with uhaul.
JENNIFER K. | Overall ExperienceThe facility needs more than one entrance.
William H. | Online Move Incustomer service was poor. on hold for excessive amount every time I called. I paid for an entire month and moved out only 7 days into it and the rent was not pro-rated but manager wanted to double dip on my unit and close it out so he could rent it again on my dime. Totally unsatisfactory!! Would recommend to anyone to never use U-Haul storage.
Bonnie w. | Overall ExperienceInterior roll up door in loading bay doesn't roll up all the way. This was a great inconvenience when trying to get my piano into the building.
Jeffrey S. | Online Move InThe indoor facility AC was broken most of the last 4 months. The slider doors to the front and the roll up drive in doors were broken periodically during our time using the facility. While the bathrooms seemed to be well maintained and well fragranced the rest of the facility lacked cleanliness and upkeep. The donate pile has turned into a trash area with no one coming and collecting anything. Trash bins on the property were rarely emptied. Overall most of the employees encountered were very nice.
PHILLIP D. | Overall ExperienceFirst, I got an email from U-Haul stating that I could check-in online and you also have a sign outside the facility to that effect, but I could not do so on Saturday night. So I went to the Rockledge, FL office on Sunday to sign my contract then drove to the Merrit Island, FL facility. It turned out that the unit I reserved was not available. I found this out because there was a lock on the door. Twice I called the local office telephone number but got the U-Haul call center and both times the agents did not know what to do and suggested they could email the General Manager. I needed immediate resoluion and email is not time-sensitive. I drove back to the Rockledge, FL office and was assigned a smaller unit than originally reserved. I did not like the way the General Manager treated me - there was no sympathy for my situation. Unfortunately, I had a trailer full of items that had to be unloaded so I could return the trailer to U-Haul. I was put into a no-win situation. I now have to find another storage facility that can provide the size room I need.
Michael S. | First ImpressionsThe unit they gave me was already in use, it too over a hour to find a suitable solution. Rented a 8×10×10 however none were actually available. The solution was to rent 2 - 5×10×10 units at a higher price. I should have been given the same price for the 8×10×10 since that's what I reserved.
Michael J. | First ImpressionsA little difficult to get set up because I had to go from Merritt Island to Rockledge to see the person to do the paperwork, but the Lady that helped me was very nice, and cordial. Great experience, base on todays environment. I am very please with the overall experience.
KATHY B. | First ImpressionsI found a rodent collector and spider webs throughout my unit when I arrived. Being late, I had no choice but to put my belongings in there anyway. Massively disappointing.
Jacob I. | Online Move InI made my reservations on the phone. The lady on the phone told me I would be renting a 10x10x10 unit and I would have outside access. She did not tell me that the office for my rental was on a different city than the rental was in. After waiting at the rental for someone to answer the phone I found this information out. When I got to the Rockledge Fl office, I was told that I had rented two 5x5x10’. They were not side by side and did not have outside access. I have canceled my rental and gone with another companu
DIANNE L. | First ImpressionsThey gave me a storage that was occupied and when I called they sent someone over she said it wasn't any more available units so she walked around the whole facility looking for a unit that didn't have a lock after 20 minutes she found one but it was a 10x12 and I had reserved a 10x10 so I had to pay an extra 15.49 for the unit even though it wasn't my fault I was very unhappy about that and never once did she apologize she just said well it's a bigger unit than what you paid for so you still have to pay the difference I would of been happy with ok well for the inconvenience you don't have to pay the extra 15.49 this month we will waive it for our mistake so unhappy about that and I would tell family and friends about u haul storage and let them no my experience and let them make their own discussion hopeful they would have a better one than I did.
VONCELLA R. | First ImpressionsSo far everything is fine. We will take this one day at a time.
Sandra L. | First ImpressionsExcellent products and services
Joseph R. | Online Move InI had a few issues on day of move in and day od move out. I called the emergency number provided of the gm and he never answered or even returned the call. Going to the office where people are is just as bad. I'm assuming staffing is a issue like every where else.
Kim G. | Overall ExperienceExcellent service
Christopher H. | Overall ExperienceThe only thing missing was a employee to help out with guidance.
Rafael Q. | Online Move InOur representative Susan was the only one at the facility and she was busy and did an amazing job taking care of everyone. She was very friendly and very helpful.
Michael M. | First ImpressionsI checked in on a Sunday and this may not be typical. There was only one employee working causing a long (45 min) wait time. I had reserved the storage unit online prior to arrival at the store. The employee worked very hard to keep up but was overwhelmed, not her fault.
Roger M. | First ImpressionsShawn was great helping me!
Oleen B. | First Impressions- We had a reservation, but did not realize the location was not staffed, which caused frustration on arrival day. - Could not reach anyone to change the unit size, so ended up completely re-booking. - Where to "check in" was not clear - Once we HAD access, everything was super easy - so perhaps just work on the above :)
Katie H. | Online Move InThere was a homeless man in the parking lot as we unloaded our stuff into the unit. It made us very uncomfortable.
Kristal R. | Online Move InI rented a 10x20 and got two 10x10s, one of which has a pole in the way which limits the use. Also, the large rodent poison boxes in each space are disgusting and take up space. We wasted a lot of time trying to find the unit. No directions or maps were provided and the numbering system makes no sense from the perspective of the customer. Very frustrating after a long day of moving.
Lisa S. | Online Move InWhere to start. I arrive to pick up my truck and the office guy is on a personal phone call about his alcoholism. I waited outside until he was finished. The 6 blankets I requested were not there. The truck was not filled up with gas. He showed me how not to drive with the tow package on. This truck was equipped with an AM/FM radio for my 20 hour drive to Florida. I improvised. Upon arrival, in Florida, the storage unit was 10 miles from the office. No where in the contract was this information stated. At the office, I was assured that a 10x10 unit would be okay for a 1 bedroom apartment and a lock would be inside the unit. Upon arrival, there was no lock and no way I was going to be able to store our belongings. As I was realizing this, my wife redirected 4 other families on where to go in order to check in. There was no Uhaul representative at the actual storage site. My wife had to drive back to the office to rent a second unit. Once we were done unloading, we had to drive back to the office to get a second lock, drive back to the unit and lock it up. Going back to the original truck rental I Texas, I called the office twice and left voicemails that because of bad weather, we were delayed by a day and needed to extend the rental. I did not ever get a call back. Returning the truck to another whole location the next day. I called the information number provided, it rang to a fax machine 3 times. The 4th time someone answered and told me to bring the key inside the convenient store. The clerk asked me if it was gassed up, I said yes and said , ok, your final bill will be emailed to you. Never again Uhaul, never again.
Frank K. | First ImpressionsUnder my contract for my storage unit it states that I would have 24/7 access to my storage unit. While moving last night I ended up getting locked out and could not get back in using my key code after 10 pm. The whole reason I chose U Haul and this particular storage was because it states 24/7 access. I tried to reach the GM with the cell phone number left at the site and it went to voice-mail. I then contacted the 1 800 number and they were not able to remotely let me in. If someone could contact me regarding what I need in order to be able to access my storage unit 24/7 that my contract states I have I would really appreciate it.
ISABEL C. | Online Move InI booked the storage room at the same time that I booked my moving truck (one way rental). I am happy that the first month's rental is free, but that is about as far as my happiness goes as related to the storage use experience. The office for the storage facility is approximately 10 miles from the storage facility itself. So, I decided to use the on-line check in instead of driving so far out of my way to confirm the rental. There was nothing evident in the on-line system or at the facility that discussed how I needed to go about signing into the facility. I needed to put in my unit # and a code into the security panel, and then I could enter the facility by using a separate panel. This is far from evident when a new renter comes to the facility. It took me quite a while to figure out how to get in. Better instructions should be evident at the facility. My unit was as far away from the entrance as it could possibly be, even though several open units were closer to the entrance. I would hope that U-Haul would reserve the closer units first therefore giving people easier access to their unit, and making customers happy.
MARK N. | Online Move InThe storage facility and people extremely helpful, will send anyone who needs someplace for storage , but renting a truck less than, very bad out come.
William G. | Online Move InHad a little trouble logging in the first time. But finally got in. The automatic lights don't always come on when I'm within my area. Need more carts near our unit, West end.
Bobbette F. | First ImpressionsDrew and Tyler were professional and efficient! They took cate of business. Great customer service.
tony k. | First ImpressionsThrough my move with U-Haul, everything was great until we got to try to find and get help about the storage unit. We spent over 2 hours trying to find out where to do the first initial check-in. Every time I called the 800 number no one knew what to tell me. Finally, my friend said we're going to a human being. We did find the right place and everything worked out. But if it wasn't for the man (God Bless Him!) who took care of us. The only suggestion is figure a better way to handle the storage unit information to the customers such as where to go etc.
Donna F. | First ImpressionsTyler in the Rockledge office was very professional, helpful, and courteous.
christine C. | First ImpressionsUnits are expensive but clean and well-maintained. Signup online and move-in went without any problems
Gary B. | Online Move InI had the U-Haul truck rental until 1130 pm that evening and a 26 foot almost full when we got to the 24hour supposedly location my access code was DENIED. I WAS DUMBFOUNDED. CALLED THE GM LEFT MESSAGE FOR THE ONSITE MANAGER. .. .. NOTHING. THEN, KEVIN FROM COCOA BEACH SAVED THE DAY FOR US. THANKS KEVIN. IT ALL WORKED OUT. GOOD STUFF
Kandi B. | Online Move InThe storage unit does specify 24hr access to it, I was a little disappointed to learn that there's a $10 fee a month to actually have the 24hr access. The facility is nice and priced just right. Thank you.
JENNIFER K. | First ImpressionsWhile the staff at Rockledge was extremely helpful in getting us set up with a unit at the staffless Merritt Island location, the technology at Merritt Island itself was on the fritz -- so, not well-maintained at all -- and we were unable to access our storage unit on the day we rented it. Thank goodness we weren't actually trying to move stuff in that day, because it would've been an absolute disaster! For a staffless facility such as Merritt Island, it's essential that the tech systems be working at all times or that someone is physically present at the location when they're not. When customers can't access or store their items in the facilities during normal business hours, what exactly are we paying for? Not to mention how unsecured it seems our items would be; if someone hacked the system or broke into the building when the system was down, would UHaul even know or be able to stop them?
Raegen P. | First ImpressionsDrew Rosenberg was very helpful, professional, and knowledgeable of U haul and options as products
Patrick I. | First ImpressionsFound a great solution for us. The staff is first rate. The facility was clean and easy to access.
william e. | First ImpressionsImpressed with the cleanliness of the whole building and the storage room. Every area is well lit and functional.
Timothy D. | Online Move InThere is insufficient lighting that turns off at inopportune times. No individual unit lights, which are vital for larger units like mine. No ability to select which free unit to pick. Multiple calls to manager were unsuccessful, so my question as to placement of the PODS container for unloading was unclear, I had to wing it causing much more work to get things done same day.
Anne B. | Online Move InThe facility is very nice and especially liked the loading/unloading area with the roll up door as the weather was not good. This allowed us to back inside and unload. Unfortunately it would have been nice to get some direction on entry into the facility as this was after hours. At first we didn't think that we could get in with the code. Somewhat confusing. Also, there appeared to be several available units closer to the entrance but we were assigned a unit at the very back of the building. Appreciated the use of the carts as we had a long walk to the unit.
