I ordered blankets and a furniture dolly. Wasn't in the truck. I called and was told "it looks like they forgot". I was like "no shit" now I don't have a furniture dolly or blankets but was charged for them. Nobody cares because the "just forgot" but I had to move all damn day without a furniture dolly. You people suck. The before hours check in did not work. Asked me for my passport. WTF!!! Who takes their fucking passport to U-Haul. I will never rent U-Haul again

UHaul changed my pick up location 3x. I have never been treated so badly by a company. Telephone waits were over one hour. My original request for pickup and drop off (at a different location) was initially approved, then changed. I hope I never have to use UHaul again, they clearly don't care about their customers.

The staff at Poway went above and beyond to get my containers to me after the website and central location failed with incorrect information. My container had broken boxes (used Uhaul-recommended movers in Raleigh, NC) and the contents were overcome with mold and had to be thrown out. One dresser had some knobs broken off. Still can't find my grandmother's sterling silver which was in one of the broken boxes, AND one Ubox had a lock that was not mine - with NO explanation. I will never use U-boxes again! Thank you!

I was told that my U-boxes would be delivered to the Poway location and that they boxes would be moved inside their "gates" and when I called to follow up on another issue, I find that they are at another address and that the U-boxes would have to be picked up from there. This is a nightmare! No clear communication. Can't get on the website. Transferred on the phone multiple times. A MESS! Can't figure out why my U-boxes can't be delivered where I want them in the first place!!

When I made the reservations I Was reassured bueno staff member that the unit with the best location would be mine on Saturday when I came to move in. However, a different staff member told me that unit was already reserved. I was very disappointed. The unit I ended up getting had broken tile inside and a pipe in the back.

It was clean and well maintained. The only concern I had and it is a small one is that the area my unit was in felt much warmer than the first area you walked into in the storage complex. I chose the climate controlled storage as I was storing antique dolls and some photographs and VHS tapes. I don't think anything was affected but I have not yet unpacked it all. Overall it was a great experience for my first time ever having to use a storage facility. Thank you

I turned in the trailer, and then brought back the truck the next day after unloading. I appreciated the flexibility. I also picked up the truck in Deming on one day, and the trailer two days later. I did appreciate being able to do this.

I rented two trucks. A 26' and a 10'. Both were adequate for the job of moving the household furniture and motorcycle we were moving. The trucks were easy to drive and the people good to work with. I'd use U-haul again in a heartbeat. The pick up process was a bit slow but the people very friendly. Rest room could be kept a bit cleaner.

Customer service was excellent at the Poway location. The call center not as good..... contract said I would get a call to confirm location for what I was requesting, but I never got a call, and when I called the wait time to talk to a service rep was going to be 50 minutes. I hung up and called again and the operator (after my complaining) got me thru immediately.

The service I received at Poway was very professional and on point. We discussed my drop off location options and I said I would either drop it off at Calimesa or Yucapia, whichever would be open at the time I needed to drop it off. We left it undecided and unchecked. However, one of your Moreno Valley U-Haul Reservation Manager around 12:15 P.M. today stating I was supposed to drop the rental off in Moreno Valley or Banning. My phone rang three different times on Saturday stating my drop off was to be in Moreno Valley. I told one of your associates that if you wanted me to drop it off 60 miles away round trip I was going to have to charge U-Haul a $500 dollar hot shot fee for the inconvenience of my drop off point. I am still pissed off about your manger calling me today and telling me my options when we already had it worked out on Saturday. Let me know who it was by the recorded phone call today at 12:15. Get me and address, and I will ship out a package of chapstick so whoever the person is can kiss my butt!

The U-Haul facility on Poway Road is very clean and the staff is very friendly and courteous. There is one person that I would like to recognize and that is Toby he has excellent customer service and always greets people with a smile he is always there when you need him or have questions, and always works in a timely manner so the customer can get on their way. In all I would recommend this facility 100%

Due to staff member LANDON VOELKER, this Uhaul is the one I have come to value highly. His customer service and outstanding attention to detail as well as his professionalism and friendliness in accomplishing everything 100% would make me recommend Uhaul *at this location. *Especially if Mr. Voelker is onboard there. 5 stars for this employee! Thanks!

People at desk weren’t helpful. When I returned the truck several people arrived at the same time.

This location is great. The storage is a bit unique - they're individual containers on the ground in a big lot (vs a big building with storage units). But it's clean & the staff is super friendly, and it was really easy to back up our truck and unload all our stuff.

I called for three days and nobody would answer my call so I finally drove to Poway to check on my storage unit. On my moving out day Everything appeared to be fine except when my daughter found mouse droppings on my plastic tubs and on the floor of the unit. How long did this mouse live there before someone put a mouse trap in the unit? The worse thing is that the dead mouse is in one of my boxes! I took a picture of it if you need proof. I called the health department on my experience with your storage unit. It was documented. Since you have so many units why aren’t the mouse traps or mouse poison checked on a regular basis? I have rented units for years and this has NEVER happened before. I have to throw out some items because I don’t know how long the mouse lived in my unit. The unit should be prorated for July and I should receive a refund for the days that I did not use it. I am just glad I moved out my things when I did. I am very disappointed with the experience that your establishment provided and I will pass on my experience to others.

I made an online reservation for a 7x20x6 Vanbody, but when I arrived to the storage facility, the manager said that he could not find my reservation in the system. He showed me a much smaller 7x14 unit and said that was all he had or I could try searching for a self-storage facility in the area. I drove all the way from Maryland only to be told “good luck”. In the end, the manager was able to rent me a 7x26 storage unit only because a reservation was canceled at the last minute. I had the whole move and storage planned weeks in advance and am frustrated with the nonchalant response of the manager. I also want to know why my reservation did not show up in the system even though I received an email confirmation.

I love the facility however the parking is very minimal. I went at night so had no issue but I can’t imagine trying to unload in the daytime. Also it would be a bit more convenient since it is key code entry to have the hours be 24/7 for storage units. There’s cameras for security so I don’t see why not

Needed my books and as a result moved the boxes out of U-Haul storage, otherwise would stay as a client. If I need the storage, will return. Mr. Toby Anders is an EXCELLENT and professional and polite Manager and for sure a GREAT asset for U-Haul office in Poway. Thus, would suggest to reward and award Mr. Toby Anders. All the best to Mr. Toby Anders and thank you U-Haul for serving the society.

Jose Aguilar was incredibly accommodating for me. I needed to move my things out on the day I would have been charged and didn’t realize that I needed to give a 10 day notice beforehand. He told me I would not be charged for the next month and was incredibly nice to do that! I would give him 10 stars if I could! Very friendly and professional! Thank you Jose and thank you Poway Storage and Moving! I will use you again if the need arises!! Very easy to deal with!! Bravo!!

Thank you, thank you. I came to the uhaul September of 2017 after being put out by an ex. The people there were super helpful, empathetic and understanding. I got a unit that day with no problem. Uhaul Poway really saved me that day. Keep in mind this was a Sunday when everything else was closed. There's an older white gentlemen there with glasses that rented me the storage. He was always nice and helpful. Thank you again. I will definitely use you again if needed.

During this covid pandemic, I have not been able to be in the country during my move in and with a mixup with the container I am renting. Both times I have called the store, I have worked with Toby over the phone. He delivers awesome service and has helped me to resolve all my issues each time. I can't say good enough things about how awesome Toby is, and I really appreciate his willingness to listen to my problems, willingness to proactively solve my issues, and empathy. In the future, I will certainly use UHaul for all of my storage needs. Thank you guys!
