Website for returning is absolutely terrible. Several error messages after uploading pictures, then kicks you out and you need to start the process all over again. This almost caused our time frame to go over. Very frustrating.

I would recommend this place but unfortunately would recommend uhaul to anyone. The pick after hour was a horrible experience. Your company needs to get more organized and verify ahead of time to make the verification at site smooth. Calling an employer or a person at 02am is not a reasonable expectation.

There is only one person when can assist with the U-Haul rentals within the location and he was not there at the time of pick up. If you do not complete the entire checkin before pick up time you may face this issue because that same person is also one of few who speak English as well.

There is no where to park a rerun after hours except for the street. I don’t recommend this place as a drop off place. It should only be used during business hours. The area was poorly lit and I felt unsafe. It was very dark a and dirty area. They have tons of garages where you can’t park a car. Very poor drop off location

Truly unreal what I went through yesterday my wife and I had already paid for furniture pads and a mattress protector and were to pick them up there. Not only did they say they didn’t have the protector but tried to charge us for the furniture pads we purchased!!!! So we had no choice but to return them. So we did and now we have to call Uhaul to dispute the charges and get a refund.

I’m being charged twice!! $175 and a few days later $161!!! This is unacceptable! I rented the 10 foot truck for 8 hrs and brought it back 2 hrs before my time was up with a full tank of gas and no mess nor damages and I’m being double charged!! This is unacceptable! Fix this immediately please!

My remote access pickup was scheduled for 7pm at Valencia Auto Shop; upon arrival @ 6:45pm the gates to the yard were padlocked. Over 90 minutes of frustrating hold time and dealings with 5 different operators (2 of whom asked me what my phone # was and then immediately put me on hold, a 3rd who said she was in PA and couldn't help) did not resolve the problem. UHAUL needs to know which vendors have after hours pick up and which do not!

The truck smell bad. We booked one place and redirected to other place. $19 but 53$ added this and that. Very disappointed. I suggest use Home Depot’s truck

Would like to have a place to leave my vehicle,other than parked on the busy street. Otherwise, location was great. The individual who helped me went above and beyond. He started up the vehicle and drove it around the front to where I parked my car. Very nice!

This was a repair shop with a side business of UHaul rentals - so not really focused on UHaul service. The staff member that helped us with the return was friendly.

We always had a good experience with U - haul but unfortunately, this time we didn't have good luck. We rented a truck to travel from nj to Florida and this truck had no air conditioning, we traveled dehydrated for over 20 hours with hot air. As a customers We're very disappointed.

Confusing that there’s three different Uhaul locations all within a mile of each other........ this one was behind an auto repair which didn’t make sense. One of the technicians actually backed my car in to remove my hitch. That was very helpful!

The office worker clearly did not understand the online express check in process. When I attempted to get the keys, he told me I didn’t have a reservation and argued with me that I needed to show my license, pay, and sign a contract despite the fact that I had already done that through the app and shows him the check-in screen.

I ordered and paid for 4 dozen furniture pads, which I was told in my confirmation email were guaranteed, but there weren't enough pads available. I was unable to get a refund for the ones not included and I was told to just contact customer service. They didn't seem to know how many I had ordered. Also the fuel tank was extremely low, I had a warning sign saying only 32 miles were left when I turned the engine on. I was warned that it was low but I didn't realize quite how low.

Pick up location was awful guy had no idea what he was doing, i got a phone call to drop the truck off somewhere different then where I picked to drop it off, had to call back and complain then it got switched to the location I chose. Just an all around terrible experience

There was nothing with the personnel here -- they were fine. It is the U-Haul traffic department which is a miserable failure and the reason I am unlikely to ever rent with U-Haul again. I will be writing to customer service separately. Both my requested pick up locations were changed by U-Haul at the last moment and with tremendous inconvenience to me, resulting in my having to walk over mile through a gang infested neighborhood.

When we were finally given a drop off location, it was by someone at the pickup location who had no familiarity with the drop off. She said that all locations have safe places to put the car and mailboxes to drop keys in, whether or not the location is open or closed. We dropped off the truck at 5:15pm, and the location was closed and gated. There was no mailbox or slot for keys that we could find. We had to call the regional field agent who, after having us look for some time for a mailbox, ended up telling us to park the truck in the driveway outside the gate (basically on the street), put the keys under the seat and leave the doors unlocked. He promised us that if the car was damaged or stolen in the morning, we would not be faulted, but we still weren't comfortable with the situation. All together, this whole rental process had problems every step of the way. Communication was poor between various uhaul agents and locations, and it added a ton of stress and wasted time to an already stressful moving day. We will not use uhaul again.

Me and my husband inspected the truck realized that the left back tire had not treat I was concern because I rented to drive to florida from NJ and notified the person reponsible and he didn't come to look and send a worker to tell us that was fine. I drove all way to Florida with fear that I could have a flat on the road. Also the truck has a oil leak. Not the way I expect to have a truck to drive .

Amount of fuel in truck was incorrect on contract and I didn't see it until I got into truck. They locked the doors and I couldn't have it adjusted because they closed so I was left paying that extra fuel charge
