I recently booked a mobile pickup with U-Haul and unfortunately had a very frustrating experience. When I arrived at the location, there was no clear system for retrieving the keys. I eventually found a key halfway inside the drop box, but it was for a 12-foot truck instead of the 10-foot truck I had reserved. Since I was unable to reach anyone on the phone (my calls went straight to voicemail with no assistance), I had no choice but to take the vehicle available. During the mobile pickup process on the app, there was also a glitch. The app skipped the critical step of confirming the truck’s mileage and fuel level, and it immediately marked the truck as “picked up” while only showing me instructions for drop-off. This left me with no way to document the starting mileage or fuel level. When I picked up the truck, the fuel gauge showed less than 40 miles to empty. I returned it with 44 miles to empty, essentially in the same condition. However, I am now very concerned that I might be unfairly charged for fuel, since the app did not allow me to record the starting amount and the truck was already low when I picked it up. Overall, this experience left me frustrated and uncertain about whether I’ll be charged extra for something that was out of my control. U-Haul really needs to improve its mobile pickup process, ensure keys are placed securely, and have better support available for customers when issues like this arise

I only went there because the U-haul in San Bernardino where I live, did not have the truck I needed. This location was 20 miles from my house and it would be silly to recommend to a friend to drive that far unless San Bernardino did not have what they needed.
SCOTT MNothing super easy in and out
BRETT SThe representative was very nice and welcoming. He made the transaction very quick and was very thorough in explaining the paperwork. He connected my trailer in minutes and I was on my way. This is a great location with great personnel at this location. I will go back to rent my equipment here.
JOSEPH FHonor the items included in a reservation and if you don't have the items available then say so, versus a customer picking up the truck out of hours just to find that the other reserved items (dolly, furniture pads, etc.) are not in the truck or available at time of pickup. Very inconvenient for customers and really rather go elsewhere or use another business altogether.
