This location, which is NOT owned or operated by UHaul, is in a suburban area near my home that had UHaul not directed me to it to drop off my one way rental, I would not have known it was there. The individual working at this location was shouting and carrying a firearm. That could be a hard stop for most people. But I'll continue as it is relevant to my rating. As I drove onto the property, which has many different businesses on it none of which were open at 10am on a Wednesday morning, there were signs pointing the way to the rear of the property for drop off of UHaul equipment. I followed those signs. I thought I heard someone shouting and looked around but saw no one. So I proceeded following the signs. Then more shouting and I stopped and got out to find a gentleman standing at the back of the trailer I was returning shouting as he was trying to open the rear door. I ask him if he worked there. He said yes and told me to wait while he checked the trailer before proceeding to the drop off point. I waited and then drove way back off the road behind several buildings to an open area where you could not see the road or anyone for that matter. I was directed to back the trailer up into a bin with mulch in it and waited for him to disconnect it. He said I could go. I ask for a receipt. He said he'd email it to me. I said I wanted one printed out indicating the trailer was dropped off on time and not damaged. He angrily said he couldn't help me because he was too busy. He bent over and tugged his sweatshirt revealing a hand gun. I got into my car and called UHaul. I explained that I wanted a printed receipt showing the time and condition of the trailer. The person from UHaul that I spoke with on the phone forwarded my call to the gentleman at the location who shouted HELLO into the phone several times before I hung up and called 911. As I was speaking to the 911 operator the gentleman from the UHaul location put orange cones and barrels into the drive blocking my exit. I waited at the rear of the property not wanting to go near an angry man with a gun who was shouting from the get go. The police arrived and made the man move the barrels and cones. I spoke with the officers for several minutes who apologized for the situation I found myself in. They told me Ohio's new law allows anyone to carry a firearm anywhere anytime. Many businesses do not allow individual to carry firearms onto/into their property. Apparently this is not one of those places. One of the officers handed me a printed receipt that showed the trailer returned. After that I proceeded up the drive and off the property. The location is unsafe due to the drop off point not having any view of the road and not having active businesses within sight of that drop off point. I would avoid this location for this reason alone.
