This is peak season for moving in the Boston metro area. There was only one person manning the desk and a line. I waited an hour to get my truck. That's an hour out of the time I paid for. And then the dolly and 12 furniture pads I rented weren't available. And then the truck worked, but just barely. It _struggled_ to get to second gear even when the truck was empty. Overall this rental experience couldn't fulfill the experience promised and what it did have was way below expectations.

Both gentleman were efficient n knowledgeable Pleasure
ROBERT PI can't recommend it to a friend because it's cheaper to rent a truck for 24 hours than for 10 hours like I rented it, it cost me double, so if you think that if the client is going to rent it for a couple of hours and it's going to be more expensive, it's better to tell the client to rent it for 24 hours, even if he returns it sooner, you always have to take care of the client, that's why I'm not going to recommend them because they charged me two installments, which should have been only one, I'll make sure to tell all my friends not to hire their services, don't bite the hand that feeds you.
EDY MThey were able to fit us in right away and the price was very reasonable...I do have to be honest though, we had a 7a appointment, but the guy showed up about 30min late. He did great work and otherwise no complaints. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for hitch installation.
mathew ralways professional
JONATHAN LAll good good associates & attitudes
PAUL TThis was best Uhaul experience I've had in the last 50+ years. The manager was best I've ever seen. Great customer service. I will rent from this Wilmington location for my next move no matter the distance. 👍🏾

VLADIMIR FThe charged me dor the gas and I brought it back with the same level of has also the trucks is very old I would rather go to penski
ZUHAIR NI did after hours drop off. Well marked and well lit
ANDREW JRented from this location a few times and the gentleman that’s usually working the weekends is always very pleasant.
JAMISON KThe gentleman who as great to me. He explained everything well and was friendly.
MIGUEL DThe truck was dirty, and when I loaded my belongings for the move, the rear door got stuck and I couldn’t lower it. I wasted a lot of time trying to get it down, and since I ultimately couldn’t unlock it, I could only load the truck halfway because I was afraid my things might fall onto the road. As a result, my move took twice as long, and I don’t think it’s fair to have to pay for another expensive day
Sebastian BThe truck leaked during the rain we had and some of the things the got wet. Which were kitchen items and the mattress and box spring for my daughter’s bed.
SHARON MCounter guy was very friendly
FRANCISCO TGreat truck -- practically brand new -- need a hand truck that was not available at the time of my rental
KEVIN GClean widows
ARTHUR OGreat experience, speedy pleasant service, Good communication.
Kristin GBoth tires blew out along the way. Had to wait for roadside assistance two times for two hours each on the side of the interstate. The trailer should not have been sent out with bald tires.
BRENT WBarry was very friendly and entertaining. He was helpful at pick up and drop off. I will definitely use this location again, and I hope Barry is there to help.

DWAYNE CI recommend this location. I’ve been U-Haul customer for over 10+ and always have great experience but today I have a ugly experience when I returned the auto transport, that person was rude and veto unprofessional, I understand people can have bad day but be professional at your job and respect loyal customers.
JUAN PI can’t see anything to change at this location. I was treated well and checked out quickly. I’ve used this location many times always helpful .
FREDERICK REasy transaction, easy trailer installation set up and return of a motorcycle trailer no issues.
CHARLES MMinor items - chair at service counter was very low - appears to have a failed height adjuster. - parking lot surface beginning to deteriorate Attendant was pleasant, processed the pick up quickly and helped hook up the trailer.
DAVID RAbsolutly nothing on this transaction . UHaul Rep. was excellent , very helpful, polite and infornitive. Great experience
PAUL Mboth the customer support staff at the Saugus Location and over the phone were helpful very good people to have on your staff
PAUL TYour charge for insurance was significantly high, as such I did not take it. You were charging $14.95 for the trailer I rented, then quoted 16+ dollars to the insurance if I wanted if the insurance was more reasonable 5 to 7 dollars, I probably would have taken it.
DAVID FThe guys at the Saugus, route 1, massachusetts, were excellent!

JOSE RGreat rental truck for my needs. Super easy pick up and drop off process. I’ll be using this location and truck for my next move. 10/10 recommend.
MICHAEL DEverything is good thank you
JUAN JThe computer was painfully slow which delayed the departure transaction considerably (it took 20 minutes: 10 for the person in front of me and 10 for me). I didn’t want Safe Move. I selected NO online and then told that agent I didn’t want it. I still ended up paying for it. This would have lowered the rating more but the utility dolly is so helpful I appreciate that you offer that option.
EDWARD GThe truck was fine for its age, so would consider it well maintained enough. But the person who checked me in (And was also there when I returned it) was exceptionally nice. He answered all my questions and made the whole process smooth, It's not often you interact with employees that are genuinely courteous. You can tell that he cares, and I appreciate that.
James MThe only issue I had (not a big issue) was there was only 3/8 of a tank of gas so I had to fuel up before starting the move estimating how much fuel I would need.
TROY KMy equipment just broke down in middle of the road. The engine belt just came off. Prior to that, engine was making noise, I wish U-Haul can maintain their equipments. I raised a road side assistance and uploaded the pictures
RHISHIKESH WPick up (in Saugus) and drop off In New Port Richey went flawlessly.everyone I dealt with were fantastic!
