This is the best storage facility I have ever used. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The facility is well maintained and clean. 10/10
Amanda R | Overall ExperienceThe manager and staff were courteous, professional and the vehicle and equipment were in excellent condition.
MALCOLM REveryone was really friendly even thought it was busy. Pickup and drop-off were fast and easy, and the expectations were clearly explained. Moving can be difficult but the least stressful part was getting and returning the van. Thanks to the staff!
DOUGLAS MTruck was in rough shape and check engine light came on mid-move. Didn’t feel super safe.
Emily BThe whole experience went off without a hitch. (Pun intended) Excellent experience.
Michael SHelpful friendly service
Glenn HThis site was designed well, and not over crowded. The exit, was a real exit, allowing for larger Trucks & trailer to properly complete a pickup, departure, and Dropp off. On a plus side the Staff were Top SHELF. Quick efficient, and above all else, Polite. The Gentleman the received the drop off @ 1030 ish... Was over the top polite and courteous... as well as the in store staff.... SHOCKED At how GREAT this team was. All the way across the board... Thank you Olympia U HAUL WELL DONE.
DEVLON JFrom calling to reserve a 10' truck to dropping it off at the end of using it, my experience was flawless. The young lady who took my reservation was wonderful, cheerful, helpful and totally wonderful at her job! The young ladies at the counter for getting and dropping off were great. Competent, thorough and friendly. Thanks for hiring such acgrrat crew!
TRUDEE TIt was as expected
KENNETH HI was told the gas was full - it was not. I drove 14 miles, and put 5 gallons in the tank. That is 2.8 miles per gallon. If it was truly full, you have serious problems with your vehicle.

MICHAEL DFrom my perspective there are no improvements needed. The staff were friendly and helpful, the work was completed to a high standard, and the price! Well... no one else in the area could compare. Happy customer that will come back!!
Domenica CGrace was awesome and very helpful.
ERRY MVehicles with better has mileage.
KRISTA MThe lead installer at this location is excellent. I showed up very early planning to drop off my vehicle and he did the work very quickly while i waited. Saved me s lot of time!
John DVery satisfied with the experience.
STUART MThe absolute best U-Haul staff I have ever done business with
MICHAEL SGreat staff, the women were really helpful!
MARY TThank you!
SUSAN JThe van stank like dog.
JOSHUA PCalled to extend rental by 2 hours (from 7 hours to 9 hours) and agent at main office said it would cost add’l $49, but local rental place corrected it. I’ve used the 4th Ave location before, and highly recommend it. Vey friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.
TERRY YYour staff there is very friendly, courteous and professional!
ERIC BHave employees offer to help move large boxes to car.
Jan DI was overcharged on the mileage. There is only a 7 mile round trip distance between places and we made about 5 trips max. 35 miles x 1.39 = 48.65. I was charged over $100 just for mileage.
BETTINA BBring prices down to what they were in 2021.
RONNIE EStaff was professional and helpful.
JACQUELINE GAleah was very professional and helpful answering all my questions. I was pleasantly surprised with the van features - safety, CarPlay, comfort. The drop off was very easy as well.
IVAN GHave a little easier contract (less)
Bobby TQuick and easy to rent the truck.
PAUL KExperience was horrendous
Cheyanne HDrop off was smooth and easy.
DON Dgreat customer service
ANET MNothing
Richard OThe equipment was fine except the windshield wipers. They need to be replaced. Also, some sort of retractable step stool would be helpful for us shorter folks.
ANNE MTruck was dirty, gas almost empty. Systems were down and I felt like I was rushed out even though I couldn't help that the systems were down.
jared rensure the lights and tailgates work properly
STEFANI BTruck bed was delivered full of gravel/dirt. Had to clean it myself but the gravel was dry so it was very hard to remove with a broom.
CARLOS CPut your customers at the center. Don't tell us what you CAN'T do, Tell us what you can do. Inform your customers when Uhaul changes the rental agreement MID-RENTAL. Our drop off location was changed to an entirely different city...so Uhaul could make their best effort to squeeze even more $ out of us for 1. Fee to drop off at the location Uhaul initially offered on both the app reservation as well as at rental pick up, or pay a fee to drop it at a location not specified at time of reservation/ pick up...in other words, Uhaul can change your reservation at any time, without notifying you, and then attempt to CHARGE YOU MORE FOR IT! Shady, tricksy, false.
SANDRA LNothing. Staff at both pickup and return were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. You've got a great team!
MELANIE TAwesome staff. Hands down the best 👍
mike sGreat customer service
Oran MRepresentative was quick in assisting & I was done in a matter of minutes.
Pupula LOverall, my experience was good but it would have been nice if the person at the counter had told us where the vehicle was located on the lot or walked out with us to find it. We wandered around for awhile before we saw another employee outside and asked. She located in front of the building on the sidewalk. Not where I would have thought to look. The vehicle was very clean and was exactly what we needed for our task.
Judy PAll was good as needed.
ROBERT PDriver sun visor kept falling down, blocking view
Mark WOverall, the staff was friendly, personable, and welcoming - particularly the young woman with the silver jewelry who checked in the truck upon its return, who was a delight. The only complaint I would have is that, though I booked the vehicle to be both picked up and returned to Bay Storage, I was called the day after the booking to tell me that I had to pick it up and return it to 4th Ave instead. As this resulted in extra miles being charged, I really should have been given some sort of credit for the inconvenience that wasn't of my doing - but oh well...
HARLAN ZDon’t cheat and lie to your customers! The AC didn’t work, the suspension was shot, the brakes were ready to give out, the ABS light stayed on and the Haul/Tow kept coming on while the truck was empty and on the freeway! The staff were professional and kind, great people but your trucks are a death trap, you might consider maintaining your fleet before you kill someone. What a ripoff!
Joseph SGreat service!
RICHARD AJames was great and very personable. The hitch looks great!👍
Steve SNot a thing. Everything and everyone was great!
Paul AThe only bummer was I didn't know that there was only a ramp with 15 footers so that was a bummer I would have gotten the 15 if I would have known. But I feel that was my fault. Otherwise all good 👍
ELIZABETH SPlease Fire/terminate/let go from employment; Vanessa S from South Salem Store# (704034) from your Business she is crazy.
Mathew GKeep being great
JOEL GHelpful and friendly
Mark BThe employee that assisted me and processed my rental was, very helpful and had excellent customer service skills. She would be the reason I would rent from this location again.
BRIAN MOut of the norm negative experience with this location. No appliance dollys were available despite it being available upon booking. Odometer was not updated in the U-Haul system after the prior customer used it, resulting in my balance reflecting 100 miles driven when my actual mileage was around 50. I spent 27 dollars on gas to return it at the same level when I received the truck. The employee helped bring it down to 65 miles driven after explaining it was impossible to drive that much based off my gas charge but I still overpaid due to the failure of someone else.
MARK CTruck over heated hardcore.lefy me feeling nervous And made my anxiety level go through the roof. You think when you rent something like this it would be in Tip-Top shape. This thing wasn't even ready to be driven.
STEVEN BThe only reason I rented the trailer was for the strap to secure the car in place and it was broken. I could have used the one at my office for free.
DONALD MNothing, it was smooth performances
COAKEY PThe equipment I ordered wasn’t in the vehicle upon checkout. I had to go get it. Also, the app crashed and I had to get assistance to ensure I was checked out.
Denise HThe first trailer we rented needed mechanical attention. On top of that the customer service lady at the U-Haul place helped me secure another trailer at a better price!
phoebe oWhile checking out, I overheard a conversation with employees saying he was not certified to install my hitch but was asked to do it anyways. So far, 8 haven't used the hitch yet and haven't noticed anything yet, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable knowing that a non-experienced and uncertified personnel installed it.
Loan TSpaces are expensive, laughably small for no reason, and there are a million unnecessary stairs and landings to make it extra dangerous and difficult to move things in and out.
CHASE W | First ImpressionsThe assistance with securing a unit was fine. The size of the unit was misrepresented. I said I was bringing in a 26ft uhaul, the room was said to be 10x14. It did not say it was 3 closet size rooms, just ice 6 ft tall not even aligned. I ended up having to get a different unit with another company. I cannot believe anyone would consider it a unit, the walls were rock of some kind. Deeply disappointed with this experience.
Sharina M | Overall ExperienceI reported water in the unit several times which ruined my boxes. Was not repaired
lyla g | Overall ExperienceClimate controlled, super safe and rat free!
DENISE H | Overall ExperienceNice people in U-Haul in auburn Maine and in Olympia Washington! Thank you !!
ALTON W | First ImpressionsThe accessibility of the storage unit was great.
Moss P | Overall ExperienceThe manager Danielle was very cool and understanding and took very good care of us and our needs
bryan c | Overall ExperienceNever used U-Haul before. The whole U-Haul experience for us has been wonderful
David B | First ImpressionsGreat staff
Olufemi F | First ImpressionsGreat job
bj r | First ImpressionsThe entire staff was friendly and helpful every time I went in. During a stressful move I needed help navigating boxes, rental trucks, locks, and everything else that goes with it. They were calm and patient and provided me with exactly the items I needed. I am so grateful That during a time when it seemed like everything was going wrong, that was a smile and I helpful hand to guide me. The best experience ever!
Janice H | Overall ExperienceExcellent
manoj c | First ImpressionsThe lady that runs this location was very rude and even when I told her that all the extra days that I had been comped due to the storm and traveling across country, she told me that there’s no way that they could have been all comped for free that she just knew that I needed to pay some type of fees and that I was gonna have to pay something she should be fired and was very rude it’s people like her that will give your company a bad name. She was very helpful once she seen that I wasn’t gonna stand for her pushing me around and then I knew what I was talking about and then I could back it up prior to that I think she thought she was gonna run all over me and charge me all types of fees and extra money left a bad taste in my mouth for Uhaul
bryan c | First ImpressionsEverything was simple and clean and secure. Except the competition blows uhaul out of the water, especially this particular older location(Olympia - 4th ave/Martin Way) It is cold, hard to access, bad layout, small units, and all this for $30/month more than the competitors. We should have left a year ago!
ISAAC D | Overall ExperienceStaff was exceptionally helpful and polite.
Nadia C | Online Move InWill be happy to help anytime
Marie m | First ImpressionsIt’s nice to be inside, safe and protected from the weather.
BETTY H | Overall ExperienceThank you!
Tammy D | First ImpressionsThe staff here were outstanding in many ways; friendly, helpful, accommodating and just all around supportive! Thank you!
Tamara V | Overall ExperienceUnits were clean and accessible. Most prominently, staff were always pleasant and extremely helpful over the course of the rental. I am much obliged.
Peter K | Overall ExperienceThank you for the opportunity to store my belongings.
FREDERICK A | Overall ExperienceFriendly staff and very helpful.
justin g | Overall ExperienceThanks Billie for helping me out!
Fabio P | Overall ExperienceI began working with Billie and Maddie when I first booked the space in late April. When move-in day finally arrived on May 17, both of those women could not have been more helpful with every aspect of the move: assistance in locating the truck for the unloading, explaining all that needed to be explained, and finalizing the contract. My deepest thanks go out to them both. --Pete Kushibab
Peter K | First ImpressionsThe staff were extremely helpful. Highly recommend this location.
Tony T | Overall ExperienceThe check in process was smoothed out by the Uhaul staff in Olympia. I must have interacted with everyone, and each one of them was courteous, knowledgeable, & friendly.
Tony T | First ImpressionsSome of the call boxes don't operate and/or not shielded from the sun hard to read.
Bobby T | Overall ExperienceOnly issue is the storage facility it’s self was probley designed with stairs instead of ramps for the carts
CHARLES B | First ImpressionsThe staff working on 1/28/2023 at the Uhaul on 4th ave was great help! We were the goobers who showed up an hour before close and needed another unit in addition to the one we reserved. Staff set us up, were super nice, even seemed to be having fun themselves. What a welcome place to walk into at the end of a stressful moving day where things have been going wrong and getting behind all day. Thanks so much to them.
Jennifer C | Online Move InWould like later on bigger unit I resevered different but got this one instead don't know if u have to pay for reserved first or if you pay for when you get there.
Bobby T | First ImpressionsVery friendly and helpful staff.
katherine k | First ImpressionsNice staff. But my unit was up 7 stairs, then down 2, then up 2, then up 1. Pretty inconvenient. And the height of unit wasn't as tall as advertised. There are also a fair amount of hidden fees, though all storage facilities seem to have hidden fees.
Kevin F | Overall ExperienceClerks were friendly and helpful.
BETTY H | First ImpressionsThank you for the great customer service.
Nidia E | First ImpressionsI was a difficult customer I should say not on purpose but because I didn't pay attention so I didn't do my online purchase correctly and Francesca at the U-Haul here in Woburn went above and beyond to help me fix my situation I was so grateful and so I would definitely recommend this storage facility because I don't think anybody else would have been so kind thank you again Francesca
marissa B | Online Move InThe staff took very good care of us. The facility is well lit and very clean. My only issue was our key card did not work. It might be good to check key cards in a reader before you give them to the customer just to make sure they function. Thank you again so much, the ladies there were awesome.
GARY V | Overall ExperienceI had a hard time on your website trying to rent a storage
Susan S | First ImpressionsI rented unit 507. There did not appear to be a light inside at all. It would have been helpful to have one.
Theresa M | Overall ExperienceI was never shown the unit before I rented it. Two days later when I went to the unit to pack it, I found it was smaller than I expected and needed, definitely not what I was told I was renting. So after two days I canceled my contract and was told I’d be out for the money of the full month rent because “that’s how we do it here, no refunds”. I’ll never have anything nice to say about the UHaul storage units.
Marie P | Overall ExperienceLoved everything about it. Only thing I hated was the stairs
Leotie J | Overall ExperienceStaff treated us almost like family
Jon C | First ImpressionsStairs and area not well lit.
dolores b | Overall ExperienceAll of those stairs were too much for me to deal with
VIVIAN S | Overall ExperienceI'm very unsatisfied I was charged another day because I was a little bit over an hour returning the truck and things where not explained to me very clear I think it very unfair that I was charged for a day that I didn't need just because I was a little over an hour late returning the truck Sencerly Tina K Brown PS I will never ever rent another U-Haul truck and I'll never refere any one to U-Haul truck ever.
Tina B | First ImpressionsA pleasant experience for an unpleasant task. It was rather easy.
Seth K | First ImpressionsInaccurite fuel reading by some girl who told us we would get $90 off. Also the said they had. K storage at first after we were told 2 days previous that there would be stkrage. She checked again and there were 3 being held.
Anne H | First ImpressionsI appreciate Danielle's care in helping me as I was working through a tough situation.
marisha a | First ImpressionsLong blond hair was very court reminding me to keep 6 foot distance yet did not wear her mask. Don't know how you are supposed to.move furniture to large storage (upstairs) with no elevator. Perhaps you should warn potential renters before you rent to them.
Richard J | Overall ExperienceStaff are very courteous, knowledgeable, very informative, professional. Went out of their way to keep me satisfied.
Mark T | First ImpressionsI would have liked it more if the storage was accessible after office closes, it would have made my trip much faster and easier, on me and my wife. i also would have saved us money in the long run.
Eric M | Overall ExperienceStaff was amazing and facility is clean with bay door access. Only negative is in the design. Dont know who thought that stairs in a storage facility was a good idea.🤔
scott m | First ImpressionsVery inconvenient location, hard to load in and out of room. Had to leave vehicle unsecured and walk up and down stairs to put stuff in the storage room. Parking is not close to units. No light in storage room, had to used flashlight on phone. Bolts were sticking out of the door, they tore through two of my shirts and scratched my back. There are people living in the storage units. Definitely a sketchy area. Much nicer storage units for less money in the area. No prorated refund upon leaving, just paid for another month on the 7th (about 140 for a small unit), moved out on the 9th, nothing credited back.
Scott F | Overall ExperienceCustomer service was excellent but the PIN and the card given to me did not work to allow entry to storage area.
