The van was not ready for more than 2 hrs after my reservation time and the manager was entirely unhelpful
James S.There was no parking!!!! I spent over an hour driving around the location to look for parking. Would not recommend to anyone in Brooklyn. This was my second time here
Louis L.The 2 helpers that helped us today was fast, smart, and careful on how they move the furniture. You guys did more than you had to which we appreciate it so much. These guys follow directions and we're understanding through the whole process. Thank you guys so much again! Would recommend 10/10
KEMALD P.The person that gave us the truck drove it to the exit and left quickly there really was no time to figure out how to use it where the mirrors move, emergency break etc, we just had to go immediately because people were using the entrance
martha A.Extremely friendly staff! 10/10 would use again!
JOHNC R.We reserved a 10foot truck but we were not given a 10foot truck even though there were many t10' trucks on the lot. Were given a smaller model that we could not fit everything in. We did the 24/7 pickup. The customer service was extremely rude and denied us because of a little damage to the license. It is a valid license!! The woman kept. trying to tell me that the license was "sawed in half". Not true, it simply had a small crack, but all of the information was clearly visible and valid. Uhaul cost me both time and money hat I do not have with this move and I would like a full refund.
Jermaine B.Clearer instructions, contingency plans for a website outage.
Camille J.The parking around Washington is just too difficult for self serve- they need to leave a parking lot open.
BRADLEY W.Fast, courteous and professional service.
GARTHANTHONY B.This location had uhauls parked on the street that were difficult to find, and to return at the end. Picking up a truck through mobile pick-up was complicated and difficult to navigate, especially at this location.
Raphael R.This U-Haul site was based out of an auto shop that had essentially no parking, so our U-Haul was several blocks away (with no indicator as to where it was) from the pick-up site. When it came time to return the truck, it took us 45+ minutes to find a legal parking spot to return the truck (and the location was closed as it was a Sunday). Additionally, we were charged for the rental of a utility dolly and furniture pads that were never provided. These were marked as "returned" on our receipt.
Meghan H.The website wouldn't load my location for after hours check in and I got a late fee because of your website failure.
Emily D.This was an overall horrible experience. I originally booked another location at Atlantic Ave but it was moved without my consent to this Washington Ave location. I would never, ever, ever use this location or Uhaul service ever again. I showed up at 8:30am as per my reservation and knocked on the door. A man opened it and shouted "we don't open until 9!" and then slammed it shut. Because he was so angry and aggressive, I called their office phone and explained I had an 8:30am reservation, not 9am. He told me he was waiting on a couple trucks. I then called Uhaul twice because the first time I was supposed to be on hold but she sent me to a phone menu option. Then, the angry man from before walks me and points to the office without speaking and then some other man checks me in. The other man explains the van only has 1/8 of a tank left and I am now responsible for doing their job and filling it up to a 1/4. This is unacceptable and I ignored it. However, since their staff in angry, aggressive, and rude I just left to get my move over with. I returned the van in perfect condition. Another third man opens the door and asks to look at the tank. I went about 2 total miles. Then this man blocks my way from getting out, bangs his fist on the side of the van and says "you need to fill it up". I declined and he said there would be a $20.00 service fee. That fee is also unacceptable. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy and I expect someone from customer service to contact me about a refund.
MATTHEWROSS H.This location is not 24/7 pickup so please stop advertising it as such
MATTHEWR F.Customer services at pick up / drop off point was excellent.
PAULJOHN C.The van was given to me with exactly 1/4 tank of gas so that I would HAVE to stop and get gas before returning it in order to avoid the $30 fee that I was not warned about. This was obviously intentional. I barely drove it at all and the rental I was expecting to be about $45 ended up being $75. Total racket.
Joseph P.The location didn't open until 30 minutes after I had reserved a truck, and I had to wait another 30 minutes to get the keys.
Brian B.Graffiti all over the truck
MILTON G.Well the whole $19.95 thing is a scam it always inevitably jumps up considerably in price. Other than that it was great.
SETHADAM G.Charge me over a $100 for less that 2 hr and less than 20 mile
STEFFONJONATHAN B.I was overcharged and cannot get anyone on the phone to discuss the overcharge. I will never use you services again.
DOMINIC B.Professional and wonderful staff
fatima S.This is concerning the UHaul location on Washington St in Brooklyn, NY. The location had no designated parking. The vehicle was not ready when we arrived, we had to wait 20 minutes for the vehicle to be dug out of the snow and that time was not compensated. The representatives at the facility did not provide us with a signed contract and did not specify the fuel level that we had to bring the truck back with which resulted in us getting charged $16 for fuel at check-out. The service was completely unprofessional. The online check-in option that we selected was completely irrelevant at this location, we had to go to the representatives and talk to them to get our vehicle. We then had to find parking on-street when returning the vehicle which took us about an hour of circling around and we had to pay for all those additional miles that were added due to us looking for parking. I am very disappointed with my experience. I think UHaul should at least specify on their website that this pick-up/drop-off location does not have designated parking and that renters should calculate that into their cost AND time. We ended up paying $100 more than we estimated mostly due to the lack of parking and unclear directions. On top of all this, the moving help we had requested through UHaul bailed on us after confirming that they will be there (Peace and Love Movers). We were first told it will be one helper instead of two and then that helper didn't even show up and his line was closed so we couldn't get a response from him. We had to carry everything ourselves up three floors. When we called UHaul for help with that, they directed us to an online chat and did not provide any alternative. I would think twice before using this service next time and would look for a different platform. I would also definitely avoid any UHaul location that is not a big facility with a designated parking and hope that UHaul clarifies that to their customers in the future.
CARINE C.The truck was a wreck. The driver door wouldn't close all the way, the tire pressure monitor system was malfunctioning, the pull door to the back of the truck was almost impossible to move. Plus, the attendant gave me no instructions about how to return the truck, and when I got back before my scheduled return time, there was no parking available, and the lot was locked. After contacting U-Haul and getting no other option except to "find an open spot," I had to squeeze the truck into a spot across the street. I'm hopeful I returned the keys to the right lockbox, but the attendant gave me no instructions on how to properly return the keys either. Would recommend attendants spend more time talking people through the return process, especially if they won't be there for the return.
Anthony J.Got the location on time. Tried to do the contactless pick up, the guy at the shop said he I can't do that. I had to wait an hour for my truck, which ate into the 6 hours I reserved it for only giving me 5 hours. The guy also stressed me out by telling me at first he had no more vans for me, then told me the system was down and had me get the van via contactless pick up. NOT a pleasant experience on top of the stress of moving.
Jordan M.Customer service is horrible. I would not recommend anyone trust the U-haul app or u-haul for after hours pick up. I spoke with customer service FIVE TIMES before having access to my truck. Each one solved the issue... Only for the issue to not be solved.
Katherine P.No one was around to receive the truck. 24/7 service was unavailable even though it said so online. Charged for someone else's miles because no one checked the truck once returned
KENNETHROBERT S.Have all vehicles at the spot and not away from the pickup area.
James G.Vehicle was all greasy and dirty. I didn't mind as I was in a rush. Representative asked me to bring truck 9am He was no where to be found until 9:30am Overcharged me with cleaning fee for 1 min broom sweep. This has left a very unpleasant horrible experience from Uhaul
gentian V.There is a lot but it is locked at the end of business hours, so you have to find street parking for the U Haul trucks when you drop them off, which is tough to do in Brooklyn
Matthew F.24 hr share was very helpful esp moving during off hrs or holidays where other moving services were close. That being said, my experience with this location was subpar. Keys were not in the lock box and trucks were not in the immediate area
Jerry G.The guy charged me extra for fuel because he claimed that he gave it to me with more fuel than 1/4 even though I just left the gas station before bring in the Truck. (I returned the truck between the 1/4 and 3/8 notch which was more that he actually gave it to me on) I had physical proof of pictures and time stamps for how much the fuels tank had when I picked it up (3 mins after my pickup time on my receipt) and where I dropped it off as. He said “he doesn't know where I got my picture†picture and refused to look. As well as refused to go look at the tank in the trunk with me. He did not refund me for his error and said he was not fixing anything.
SHANEAMAKALA K.Arnold is truly the best! I have recommended people to rent u-hauls from him time and time again. I won't go anywhere else for my rentals! Great customer service, kind energy, amazing professionalism, and does the little things that really make a huge difference. THANK YOU, ARNOLD!!!!!
Elizabeth K.Great customer service!
Khalfani M.I reserved a 24/7 pickup at this location and my vehicle was not prepared when I arrived before opening hours to pick it up. This led to me needing to re-plan my day. I was given no indication that the vehicle wasn't ready until I got to the location and was left standing outside in the cold. There needs to be a better notification system. The location would have known 5pm the night before if the vehicle wasn't ready for pickup but I was given no information.
John M.They didn't have the blankets I requested. So I had to go to another uhaul! A waste of time and miles.
KEVINP K.Super easy to schedule online and then come to pick up! Friendly, quick, customer-service focused! Totally reasonable rates. Thank you so much!
JOHNL L.That day it was hot the a/c wasn't working hot air was coming out from the bottom it was very uncomfortable
Alastair O.Was informed business would be open upon returning vehicle. They were closed. Had a to waste 20 mins time navigating web site to return vehicle.
ABE F.The whole pick up/return process is confusing. More guidance during the online pre-checkin, and then the return process would be good. For example, maybe a text alert halfway through the rental period as a reminder that you have to go through a check out process online before returning the keys. Getting to Customer Service takes a really long time. I wasn't confident at all that the person I was talking to was giving me the right information. It was overall a frustrating experience trying to return the vehicle.
Ashwini S.I do have a gripe. The person at the location did not outline all the fees associated. I used the van for like an 1 hour and use 2 gallons of gas but was not told I would be charged $37 because the gas was not at the same level. Nothing was clearly explained. I'm really annoyed and never plan to use this location again and I'm really considering not using U-Haul services because of this.
Shanelle R.There was no one available for more than an hour causing me not to be able to take care over everything I needed in the time frame I rented. Also I called & a manager was supposed to call me w/in 72hrs & have yet to receive that call here a week later! I will more than likely never use uhaul again!!
Amber H.Thank you for your help and anytime drop off available. :)
Ksenia K.Website for uploading ID/confirming quality of vehicle is broken in Firefox on Android. I had to download Chrome to my phone to get it to work.
Sanford G.Older truck but clean and well maintained. Very courteous and respectful service. One of the best independent Uhaul dealers in NYC. Thanks!
Scott P.The location did not have the hand truck or moving blankets that I had reserved. The service was slow and disorganized, so I didn't drive off the lot until a half hour after the time I had reserved the vehicle. The office was closed be the time I dropped off the van, but no one had told me what the process was for returning the key/van. I had to leave the keys with a mechanic in the shop, not knowing if that was the proper procedure or if that would incur additional charges.
Ellen N.The customer service was top notch! I would come here all the time. The owner/operator was the absolute nicest person. Thank you!
Gina M.I had to wait an hour to pick up my van because the manager was apparently late. Others in front of me were waiting even longer. I was still charged the same amount, and my paperwork did not reflect that I had an hour less with the vehicle.
Rena D.U-Haul needs to stop offering dollies and furniture pads at these satellite locations if they're never going to have them. This was my first decent experience with these locations — one other time, I was told there's not a truck for us even though we've reserved, and another, I was told the office was closed and keys weren't available even though I'd reserved for that pickup time. However, the dolly and furniture pad problem remains; you go to pick it all up, and they say they don't have it.
Mai S.This location was horrendous. My reservation was for 7:30, but the operator did not arrive until 8:45 to start processing vehicles. Then I saw quite obviously that there was no cleaning effort made with the vehicles that were being turned over - a dangerous game amidst this pandemic. I had reserved multiple furniture pads, but this location didn't have any in stock. Lastly, in returning the vehicle, I was instructed to park on the street near the location. You can imagine what trying to find a parking spot for a U-haul truck in New York City on a week day is like... I love U-Haul itself, and this was my first negative experience after countless positive rentals.
JONASGRAHAM W.I purchased extra furniture pads and dollys, but they forgot to include in the truck. Made the move much more difficult.
Greg D.The guy doing everything by himself today was incredible. Thank you to him!
Brendan A.very nice people
Dylan G.Staff was nice and all, but they didn't have the furniture dolly which I booked for. Returning the truck was a disaster. I could not find parking for the truck and the entrance way was block by other vehicles. I had to go further to find parking on the streets.
JADECHENYU W.it was great!
Sunderland P.Place was disgusting. Back of van was dirty. Did not have the hand cart that was included in my order and didn't tell me until they were pushing me out the door.
Stephen K.Service was prompt and customer service was excellent.
Verneal K.The lot from which I rented was not open on weekends, so it was unclear where to return the vehicle to. I was told to park on the street next to the building, but no parking was available for many blocks. I had to call Uhaul customer service and request an additional day to try to park the vehicle. The next day, there was still no parking available, so I parked several blocks away again. While it appears I was not charged for parking too far from the building, I probably spent 3 hours and $20 in gas trying to park close enough that I wouldn't be charged a fee for parking farther away. It was not clear how far away I could park without being fined, and clarity in that would have resolved much of my complaint.
Zall H.This was a bad experience. We were all in line waiting with no word from employees. After 30 min finally they admit there's too many of us and not enough trucks. We started to panic and tried to find a different truck elsewhere. Everything was booked as it was first of the month. They did have an extra pick up truck for me (not the 1 bedroom truck I reserved). This caused us to start moving late and we had to make 5 trips with the pick up truck. I admit, I kept the truck 45 min extra because I didn't even have the truck at the time needed. I had to pay our movers an extra $200 because we needed them an hour extra due to using a pick up truck for a 1 bed apartment. I then get charged $50–probably gas because we had to make so. Many. Trips. I'm annoyed at this location for not admitting or communicating what was going on. This may be my last experience as it was so stressful and time consuming.
Caitlyn B.There was one worker and a line of people picking up trucks so it took a long time to pick up our truck. He never asked for identification of any kind and then just handed us a contract, pointed to the truck and literally ran off. We didn't know if we were good to leave or not. I had booked the truck until 6pm, which I didn't realize was after hours. When I arrived at the location to return the truck, the gate was closed and I had no idea what I was supposed to do with the truck. Nothing was explained when I picked it up. So I parked outside the location on the street and hoped that was what I was supposed to do. It would have been great if there had been someone handling people and someone handling the trucks. Since one guy was doing everything, he was running around, pulling out trucks and didn't have time to answer questions or explain simple things that would have been helpful to know.
Brittany B.location was fine, everything else about my Uhaul experience was terrible.
Elizabeth C.Delayed and rude service. Bad communication between customer service and the actual location. Very confusing pick up experience
Adrian M.This location is much worse than the Park Slope location. I had to wait 30 min in line to pick up my truck. Most other locations have mobile checkin. Other people in line were getting turned down for showing up an hour after their reservation started (but if you reserve for 24 hours, it doesn't make sense that your reservation just disappears if you show up late. You already paid for it). I showed up 20min after my reservation time and felt lucky to get a truck. The uhaul staff was rude on top of that.
Tyler I.Great customer service!
Sylvester R.Was supposed to have my key ready for a 7am pickup. Key was not there. Had to wait till 9am when they opened. And had to wait another 30 min after to get the truck. A 2 1/2 hour delay made my move miserable. Then when I was charged it looked like I was over charged about $30 - $40. Did not even fight it because I wanted to be done with it. Next time I need a truck, UHAUL will be my very last option.
August F.I tried to do pickup for 9a and I wish it would have been possible to pickup earlier. I waited in line until 9:40 and since I needed to have the truck back by 4p, it stressed me out/I didn't want to pay for time I didn't have the vehicle. The location is great and the customer service was great. It's a bummer the location doesn't have dollies. It'd be great if the site could tell you availability bc I would have gotten dollies elsewhere and that also delayed my day. This is all pretty minor but it would definitely have helped my day. Thank you!
