My reservation meant nothing. I waited for an hour and a half only to basically have a new transaction conducted. I did not receive the truck I reserved but instead a larger one which caused considerable difficulty with parking and negotiating cramped city streets. It is not that I wouldn't recommend this location, but after using UHaul I will not use it again and will actively dissuade others from using UHaul in favor of renting vans from services like enterprise and Turo or trucks from alternative providers.

At pickup, the “system”’was “slow” and there was a line of 20 frustrated people. The app was also slow or unresponsive. At drop off, staff had two trucks blocking the return lane and even when they saw returning customers backed up in the street, unable to drive into the facility and return their vehicles (myself included), moved slowly and showed no regard or concern for customers who were needlessly inconvenienced.

The representatives got everything done as I asked and were nice. They were very straight and to the point but that can be helpful for the sake of clarity.

My UHaul smelled so bad I had to spend thirty minutes to an hour cleaning it and I feel as though I should be compensated somehow for doing so.

The people working at this location were extremely friendly and helpful when things went wrong, but a lot of things went wrong. Engine failure, had to get on the phone with roadside assistance, got issued another truck, both trucks were pretty grimy and both trucks had NO GAS when I took them out. I had to immediately fill up both my original truck, AND my replacement truck.

I reserved the moving truck two months out and a day before I was to pick it up I was told I had to pick it up from a different location, clear across town. So I had to settle on a 10’ one compared to the 15’ I reserved. And to top it off, I requested 24 moving pads and I was told they had none. Sure did have pads to sell but none per my reservation. I was not even offered to use the ones they had for sale. U-Haul needs to take care of their customers. I did not even get compensated for the pads, just you can buy some. The last thing I was ask was to take a trailer with me , I am glad I did not do this , they way they treated me why would I ever help U-Haul ???

Guy was an asshole at pickup. Didn’t show me where the truck was. Key was not in lock box

Mobile app would not permit me to enter the truck's actual mileage, even though it was correct and re-checked several times. Counter agent advised to 'just ignore it', but there should be a way to override this so it actually records properly. Also, upon return there was no where to park the truck, and after I jockeyed it into the lot at another spot was told I needed to move it back to the inbound line.

Very cordial. The person who checked me in from Haiti has excellent customer service skills. He answered my questions without an attitude and took care of me.

I wish we didn't have to show proof of insurance on our primary vehicle. I don't walk around with that. That's not the location or local staff's fault, though.

Bit confusing; I placed a order reserve for utility dolly and none available then had to use a regular one which really didn’t help Service was good she did apologize bc she is new I didn’t like the extra service fee for security $25 but I needed to rent it for the day

The staff were rude , I walked in 20 minutes before closing & they completely ignored me for 15 minutes. They were seemingly upset & told me I had to use the app for self service even though I already reserved. An older gentleman with a long gray beard was very rude.

I returned my rental and dropped the keys in the box before my allotted time was up. For some reason they still charged me the $20 after hours service fee. It's as if they only thought to process my equipment return when they got around to it and not based on the time I actually returned it.

The staff isn't the warmest. My biggest complaint this time though is that the truck smelled like wet dogs had been transported in it. I had to crack the windows to keep from smelling it. If I was moving furniture or something with cloth, that smell might have transferred. They should do a better job of sanitizing the van after use.

After hours so I can’t comment on staff helpfulness but will say yes because drop off felt simple. I would add more signage to one way entrance and exit, was hard to know when dark

I had reserved a 2 wheel upright dolly. They were out at this location even though I had it reserved. They sent me to another location to get the dolly. Not terrible but not great either.

The young man that assisted me was so informative, kind, respectful and pleasant. He needs to be acknowledged as a very hard worker that takes the time to explain and answer all questions. I will use this location again in 2 weeks because of his hard work and wonderful treatment to each customer. Please acknowledge him! He is an asset to the company and this location!

I was able to check in on my phone and get my truck quickly, but there was a long line of people inside waiting for things. More staff on the weekend is needed at this location.

Terrible customer service. Worker sounds miserable and hated life, giving low effort in explaining the process of rental or even important information such as to take pictures/video of the plate, vehicle condition, and parking spot. Location has a huge fleet of unused trucks, most likely under utilized due to horrid customer service.

It was a Saturday which has to be one of the busier days for renting vans and trucks. there was one person working - one! I had reserved a truck and it still took more then 45 minutes to get a VAN - not a truck - and without the appliance dolly I had reserved as well. This location seems to be always short staffed.
