Everything went super smooth, one thing that i noticed - one of the tires was low on air once we loaded vehicle on auto trailer. Thanks to god i’ve had air compressor on my truck and catch it in the middle of the process. Of course i am not blaming anyone, besides that everything works as it should. Super cool and friendly people work here - Des Plaines Location, thank you guys!

One employee was eating cereal on the job , one employee reversed fast onto another truck in the drop off lane gave the customer a scare , dropped of my van didn’t get the direct deposit amount I was told I’d get the next day . Nobody was aware of my situation communication was not shared . My truck on empty and my recipes said on paper I had more gas giving . 30 miles on the 20 box truck how stupid . Went down the bloc and the gas went to 22 real quick . The truck had white dust on it over all the experienced with them and the box truck was just ahhhhh it is what it is ghetto -aj

At checkout, the equipment had a spilled bag of chips in the cargo box. And, the starting mileage and fuel level were both inaccurate. Neither reading was favorable to me.

My reservation was for Naperville. The day before it was moved to a facility that was 30 miles away. This is not acceptable as it forced me to change pick up dates and times. I’m sure you don’t care but you significantly inconvenienced me.

When I dropped off the trailer. It took 10 min for someone to come out. Then they told me just leave it next to the other trailers. No check out no paperwork . Felt weird just parking it away from the drop off spot with no confirmation of drop off.

I had my U-Haul U-Box scheduled to be delivered today, August 15, 2026. I was initially given a delivery window of 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Around 11:55 AM, I received a text saying that my U-Box was about to be delivered. I called U-Haul twice and spoke with someone who told me to ignore those messages and wait for a call from the driver. I waited at my location from 10:00 AM until approximately 1:30 PM, but the U-Box never arrived. I decided to take a walk around the area, and about two streets away, I unexpectedly found a U-Haul U-Box sitting by itself in a yellow unloading zone. I immediately recognized it as mine because I saw the lock I had placed on it. This was around 2:00 PM. I tried calling U-Haul again but was unable to reach anyone. At that point, I had no choice but to start unloading my belongings myself. I literally had to carry everything two streets from where the U-Box was incorrectly left to my actual location. This was extremely inconvenient and completely unnecessary. If I had not happened to walk around and find the U-Box myself, I would have waited until 4:00 PM and still would not have known where my belongings were. I do not understand why the driver never called me and, more importantly, why my U-Box was left at the wrong location without any notification. This was a very frustrating and inconvenient experience, and I believe I should receive a refund for the delivery due to the incorrect drop-off and the significant inconvenience it caused me. Please let me know how you can resolve this. Thank you.

From the moment I arrived and was waiting in line to be helped, everyone was friendly. While being assisted with my reservation, all the associates were very helpful and professional. They answered all my questions. This is my "Go to" UHaul location not only for transport needs but propane as well.

I was unfairly charged for dropping off at a different location. I feel that I was deceived, since I did the reservation and drop off at the same location. The person who did the reservation for me, took me to another location and did not mention anything about the drop-off to be at different location than my reservation location. Even at the drop off, no one mentioned anything about drop off location. The person took the equipment and told me that he will work on the paperwork and send me the refund for the unused days. After that, I received a charge for the unused days plus the unfair charge in regards of different location drop off. And I’m saying unfair because I dropped off the equipment at the same location that I did the reservation with. I filed a dispute and I was promised that I will hear an update within three days and I did not get any updates until now. Please look into my dispute file and refund the unused days and the unfair charge of the drop off location.

Everthing wonderful until unpacking. I live in the mountains and delivery to Englewood CO. POD arrived on time several days before I scheduled unloading by moving company. Late afternoon day before got text UHaul had moved my POD to Highland Ranch. Agent called and was rude when I questioned it had moved since my account showed it was still in Englewood. I advised movers of last minute change of location. Next day movers went to Highland Ranch location to be told my POD wasn't there but in Englewood. They wasted an hour of precious time. Total disconnect between Highland Ranch staff - who again was rude to me

The mobile app did not!!! It asked me to take pictures of the truck, but they did not register and would not let me proceed to checkout. Since I already had the key, I just drove away. Your technology needs to work!!! The instructions said the key was in a lock box on left side of door. After wasting time looking on the left side of the drivers door and then the passenger's door, I realized it was the door to the building. Making that clear would have saved me 10 min. I will NEVER use your self checkout again. terrible experience. The shocks on the truck were beyond their useful life. Understand this is a truck and not a car but the ride was so bad I was worried about the contents of the truck and the actual truck itself. The people were helpful and friendly. Overall grade was a "D", below average. i expect better.

I was very disappointed with my U-Haul rental experience. The truck was not comfortable at all. It had over 100,000 miles on it, and it shook excessively while driving. During my trip, the rear tire blew out, which made me question whether the vehicle had been properly maintained. After I contacted roadside assistance, I had to wait approximately 2.5 hours because the service technician arrived with the wrong tire. This caused a significant delay and inconvenience. In addition, the truck’s fuel consumption was unusually high, which further leads me to believe that the vehicle had not been properly maintained. I returned the truck three days ago, even though my rental agreement allowed me to keep it for five days. However, I believe I was charged for extra days that I did not use. I would appreciate it if you could review my rental charges and provide an explanation or issue a refund if an error was made. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your prompt response.
