I found the check in with app (and getting the lock to work) in the pouring rain with no shelter to add to the stress of moving.

I was stunned to see that I was charged double what the agreement stated, and I can only imagine that it was because I returned the trailer later than I had originally planned. But, I picked it up a day earlier than I needed it because the rental yard closes at 2pm on Saturdays and is closed all day on Sundays. So, if they are closed on Sunday, what difference does it make when it is returned. This a snake in the grass transaction, I can understand if you were open and had other people waiting to use the trailer?! But, you were closed and there was no one there to receive the trailer. I even had to move and replace your 3 garbage cans that were blocking where I was instructed to return the trailer. I believe you owe me a refund!

The truck had a bad clunking noise from the front passenger tire and then when we returned it with 3/4 tank they tried to charge us over $80 even through we took it on only 1/4 tank of gas! Because of this they overdraft our account during a holiday!

HARVEY M

The check-in and out overall experience was frustrating. It is not user friendly and due to the delay of trying to checkout the van we incurred a $20 after hours fee, which I am not happy about. I don’t think I would rent here again and would not recommend it to my family and friends.

There was no one there to help me unhook the trailer. So I unhooked it and left it there and left my paperwork under the door of the trailer.

I was very careful to make my reservation at the location in Richmond, which was only a mile from where I was picking up my load. Annoyingly, U-Haul called me to say that I had to pick up the trailer in Petaluma, over 30 miles away! I had to drive 30 miles to Petaluma, then 30 miles back. All this in a pouring rain. This was not for some exotic piece of equipment, but for an ordinary 4x8 trailer.

No improvement needed- Walt met me on a Sunday morning (he’s normally closed) to accommodate my pickup schedule. Also provided a trailer wiring pigtail so I could correct a wiring error by my new hitch installer.

Walt and his wife have been in business for 30yrs and their experience shows. They know their stuff. I wish there everyone had parking instructions when returning their unit. Don't block the driveway.

Walt was great help. I had forgotten my clip for the hitch lock, and he provided a spare for the trip. He also fixed my electric hook up which was making intermittent contact and not functioning. The equipment was in great shape and everything was on time. Will come here again if I need to haul something.
