The fuel at pick up was recorded wrong. I put 25 miles total on truck and put 4 gallons in and was still charged an additional $10 for 2 more gallons on top of that?? So, apparently the 20ft truck only gets 4 miles to the gallon? Would have been nice to inform customers on such poor gas millage. Also, cab smelled strongly of cannibus. Would not go back to this location.

The check in process was curt and dismissive. All they were concerned about was whether the gas tank was full and they wouldn't review the condition of the truck while I was there, but insisted I leave and get an email within 10 minutes. Not a very comforting customer service experience.

This store is chronically understaffed. There is always a long wait; usually only one person working. I gave them one more chance and they disappointed. The store manager was about 30 minutes late coming to open the store. No apologies...nothing when she arrived. The only bright spot was the employee [I think his name was Lee] who stood outside with us in front of the store letting customers know that she was running 10 minutes late (for 20 -30 minutes). He was kind and professional and definitely deserves to be recognized.

Half of the trailers had the doors open and obviously had people sleeping in the back of the trailers. Dirty clothes and human feces on the lot on the ground right next to the open trailers. The store didn’t have a the lights on and the store was in disarray. Lots of random stuff all over the store. Myself and a couple of other customers had to wait for over an hour to get hooked up to our rented trailer. They couldn’t find them and another customer had to return a freshly rented truck due to it not working properly. The trailer I was given had a fender all smashed in and the trailer had a short in the brake wires so I kept blowing a 15 amp fuse in my truck the whole trip. Clean up and organize the store and the lot. Hire staff that care about the business and know what’s going on.

The place was not well or strategically laid out (inside the building or outside in the parking lot). It seemed like the staff didn't have the experience/know-how to be doing everything in an effective manner. I had to wait an hour until I finally got my truck rental. Longest wait I've had at a U-haul ever in all my years of using U-haul.

Everything went well but they appeared to be understaffed for a Saturday morning, the line extended out by the door. The staff did their best but did seem a little overwhelmed. Also I never received the email that I returned the trailer.

The dedicated covered hook up section with someone already there ready to help was excellent service. I've been to locations where it took a while for someone to come help. There were also multiple service members at the desk to greet and help, that made the experience the best.

When I rented the truck the guy asked me if I needed the lock on it. I said no so he took it. When I returned the truck, a new guy asked me where the lock was. I said the first guy took it. He didn’t believe me and I didn’t know how I could convince him so he charged me $20. I am unhappy about this.

I am not sure I will use U-Haul again. First, I rented it from one location and it was switched at the last minute to a location in an unsafe part of town that would not allow me to park my car there. Then when I checked the van out I was told there was 1/3 of a tank of gas (about 8 gallons) but it was, in fact, on empty and I ran out of gas. When I called U-Haul for roadside assistance I was told it was a 2-hour wait. Finally, when I was trying to reach out to U-Haul with these issues the many transfers and delays were maddening.

First van I was offered had burnt foil in the side doors meaning somebody was using drugs in the van. When I asked to change it they acted like I was an ass hole for requesting a different vehicle. I got a different vehicle but the only caveat this place has is that it’s close to rent vehicles.

Took me an HOUR to get the rental truck due to issues with desk staff getting me checked in. Cost me an extra $170.00 for moving labor overage as a result! Also, the 26' truck needs to get its suspension checked - it beat the sh** out of me and my stuff on the drive down to Dallas!! I have NEVER been beat up like that in the no-less-than 30 moving trucks of all sizes, including 26' in my life!! I also reserved a dolly and 30+ blankets, only to be told they only had 12! So I didn't have enough - another reason my things got damaged. I made the reservation quite some time in advance, too. I will use Penske instead from this point further. AWFUL experience!

There was a bit of a challenge with my originally assigned truck being blocked in with other trucks . The young man working in the lot was very pleasant helping resolve the issue, and the woman working inside took pictures of all the trucks to help avoid the issue for future rentals. I was VERY grateful for the help given we were experiencing EXTREME heat that day.

When I arrived, the employee helping me with the checkout did not do a walkthrough of the vehicle. I was about to drive off, but then I decided to stop and look at the back of the vehicle and noticed a padlock on the back door. I was not given a key to this padlock, so I almost drove off with a vehicle that I could not unlock. It took an employee 20 minutes to find a key to this padlock before I could leave with my rental. In addition to this, there were several people roaming around the parked vehicles in the parking lot and a man inside the vehicle behind mind and had appeared to be sleeping or living in it overnight. Overall, I am very disappointed with the safety and security of this location and how the employee helping me did not give me all the keys for my vehicle. I will not return to this location and may never consider renting a u haul truck again

I received a larger truck that I ordered, which is very difficult for navigating urban streets. I also received the truck with an eighth of a tank of gas, which was also very difficult to manage a truck that size in a gas station. And on one of the hottest days of the year, the air conditioner did not work, which just sucked. I’ve rented from U-Haul many times in the past and this was my worst experience. The staff was great though!
