We had a great experience with this location, rental and staff. Very nice employees, clean rental, helpful staff and great cost. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

Testimonials From Recent Customers
Customer feedback is extremely important to us. We use these reviews to guide our efforts and improve our service. Everything that follows is direct from our customers, without any filtering or editing on our part.
We originally went to the Burien U-Haul earlier in the morning to see if there were any trucks available and the employee had told us that there were no trucks available for rent that day as they were all reserved and told us to call and check another location without even checking his computer. We then went to the Duwamish location and the truck we got died on us before we got out of the parking lot but this was at no fault of the staff that helped us we understand mechanical issues happen. The staff at the Duwamish location were professional and helpful and offered to find us another truck at another location as they didn't have any others available. The assistant manager of the Duwamish location came back and told us he had been able to find a truck available at Burien and he had reserved it for us. We told him that was the first place we had gone to and that they had told us they didn't have anything available. We then left and on our way back to the Burien location I'm assuming the assistant manager of Duwamish called the Burien location to find out why we had just been told nothing was available maybe an hour earlier. When we did arrive back at the Burien U-Haul the two staff members there were acting annoyed with us and asked if we had told the other location that we said they didn't have anything and then tried denying we had even been in earlier that morning when it was the same two staff members. They were then talking to us like we did something wrong and just getting them in trouble and didn't come out to assist with us getting the truck ready to leave and instead stayed inside on their phones.
David B.I have to say, I really like this U-haul place. The people who work there are friendly, responsive, and flexible., There was a dent on one of the vans I rented, and I hadn't marked it in the pre-inspection, but the customer representative said it was already known. That means the staff is paying attention to their equipment. I've rented there twice, and everything went smooth as silk. Highly recommend.
Matthew R.Met expectations. Reservation screens were good, but the "skip, don't need" at the bottom of each page should be easier to see. Or, there could be a "skip all adds", except insurance, would be very useful.
terrence M.The gentleman that assist me was very nice and provide me with all the necessary equipment I needed The only thing negative I would have to say is make sure to show customers where to drop off the keys
EDNA W.I love the staff everyone was so knowledgeable and had great customer service skills.
Yvette C.Keep up the good work
John C.Sugar was knowledgable and very helpful. I would lose this business on 1st Ave again
ELISABETH T.Sugar went above and beyond I would recommend anytime
CHRISTINA M C.I worked with a gentleman by the name of Sugar Foote and it such a smooth and quick experience. He was very quick to get me all set up with my rental and was very clear on how to navigate the check out of the truck before leaving the lot.
April R.Everyone was friendly on both sides.
travis C.Hats off to U-haul! Renting has gone from a time consuming and unnecessarily stressful process to a streamlined and customer friendly experience. Online reservations with pre check-in is absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Vince W.I really can't think of one thing
Sabrina Y.I love this location! They know how to take care of customers. Sugar is the absolute best! I wouldn't rent from anywhere else.
Samia E.The cab of my 15' truck smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I don't really mind, but others might. Other than that, everything was great! Sweet was funny, kind, and professional. Good experience.
Julien L.There's nothing really that can be improved it would have been nice if there was parking on the property I had to park about a block away in the neighborhood but it's a safe neighborhood
Leverne T.employee named sugar a leadership role . Very nice person, fast, happy excellent customer service
John H.A bit off I-5, but we were glad we went this way because we found a great restaurant in Des Moines: Willy's Chowder House
Lisa H.Everyone was super helpful
kayla A.Great and fast customer service by someone who knew what he was doing.

Matthew R.Clean it better.
HUNTER F.They charge extra money for gaz and I make sure I put the gas as they give the truck
Kafiya E.The Truck ran very rough, the inside of the truck was entirely wet, the staff was bored and almost bothered with our contracted meeting.
Barbara P.N/A
Anthony N.It was closed, we did an after hours drop off. This was the worst Uhaul experience we had, our pick location and our drop off locations were both changed after reservation, and the locations were far less convenient (especially the drop off location).
JASON S.This place is absolutely one of the best places to rent from. I've rented from a lot of U-Haul locations and this is by far the smoothest of them all. The whole crew Carlos, Keenan, Eli, Jesse, Seth all make the rental process seamless. I'm always greeted with a smile and the equivalent always is clean and in good working order. These guys care and I'm always so impressed. By far the best U-Haul in Washington…!!
Michael A.Always helpful
Sarah B.Best U-Haul experience I have ever had. Quick, efficient, clean, on time.
Maria A.The equipment is nice, the service is amazing and reliable.
Woliy W.I had a very bad experience. I rented a truck and a tow dolly I went and picked the truck up at Burien location and the tow dolly at tukwila location hooked everything up and the lights on the dolly didn't work there was only one employee at this location so I had to wait for 30 minutes to get that sorted out. The person working in there tried to get me a trailer so we hooked up the trailer and the same happened the lights didn't work by this point is already past an hour and half someone from u haul called me saying that they will get me another trailer but I have to drive about 20 minutes the opposite direction to get it by this point I have already lost my appointment so decided to go and return the truck so I ended up paying 20 dollars on gas and 60 dollars for the truck rental just wasted 80; dollars
Miguel S.Your phone check-in is ridiculous. I was under the impression that I would quickly check-in, get the keys and go. No. I had to take a picture of the driver (my husband), a picture of his ID that I had already provided the info from, and THEN contact info for 2 people to be verified. Nonsense. I ended up going into the office and sorting out the pickup. I'll never try your phone option again.
Neil D.If I had more time, I would actually be seeking a full refund for today. This was a horrible experience.
Kim R.the staff was very courteous and helpful.
Cynthia P.Excellent customer service
Valeria M.I paid online and made an appointment time for hitch installation but when I arrived they said their installer wasn't in and I needed to reschedule
Joseph B.Keep up the good work
Brian L.The online reservation process worked very well. The staff was able to accommodate my request for a smaller trailer once I had arrived and once I completed registration inside the store, the they quickly mounted it on my van. When I dropped it off, they took a picture of the trailer, completed the return process, and I was off within five minutes.
Todd B.Best uhaul in town!
Kimberly A.Keep up the good work.
Brian L.Great overall expreience!
Matt O.The truck has seen better days, but it did the job for a short move.
William C.Great service thank's
LUIS S.Thanks....
Michael S.clean equipment before letting it go out before the next customer.... Other than that I'm very satisfied.
Brian L.It all went perfectly smooth!
Lynda J.This location has several knowledgeable and super nice young men working there. All have been respectful and accurate on their promises. Thanks to all!
Kathy S.Had to pay for an extra months rent even though we had moved out. Units are hard to get to. The unit rented to us was infested with bees and did not have a lock. The next month we got emails and letters of collections because their system is messed up.
Jeremy M. | Overall ExperienceNo improvements needed. The customer service and installation work were excellent. I am a very satisfied customer, and will continue to utilize U-Haul in the future.
Mark K.Storage hours should be later than store hours for the people who work late
NAILAH H. | Overall ExperienceI had left the U-Haul lot with my rental cargo van and 15 minutes into my rental a rock/pebble flung onto the windshield from a nearby truck. Within an hour or so a crack that measured over a foot had developed with the center being the rock ding. Fortunately, I had purchased the insurance from U-Haul so it 'only' cost me $150 for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even though that was in fact damage while the van was in my possession, I question whether this was actually a fair charge to me. Please have the corporate office revisit that ruling - it doesn't seem quite fair to me. This was no fault of mine and there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. As far as the young men that helped me through the entire rental and return process, they were super!
Kathy S.Jesse is amazing. I had to rent multiple trucks & vans over a few weeks & he was fast & efficient every time
Kami A.The staff and Carlos were most excellent. A great installation was done, and the staff is quite friendly and helpful.
Dietrich S.Make sure all employees, whether on the phone or in person, have accurate information. We were told on the phone that a 10' truck would hold three people in the front seat. When we arrived, we were told that was inaccurate. Luckily a 15' truck was available and we were given that for the 10' price. Everything else was good.
Rochelle F.Keanon was amazing and very helpful. Also, the gentleman who checked me out was super awesome too.
Amanda C.I always like working with the guys as that specific U-Haul.
Ronald J.The unit we got was infested with bees. There was no lock and we had to fight the bees to put on our own lock. Then we ended up having to pay for three full months even tho we moved out a couple days after two. Will definitely tell others to go somewhere else.
Jeremy M. | First ImpressionsThe reason for my two negative answers are that I was uncomfortable with someone else having the keys to my storage unit. Additionally, the location and lack of secured access caused me concern. The staff was awesome, as was every service I was provided! I would definitely recommend it as a location for truck rental.
Carla M. | Overall ExperienceMy schedule pick up for truck, the only problem short staffed, so the wait was a little longer than expected but other than that Seth apologized for the wait nice person.
cathlen K. | First ImpressionsUhaul has always been my go to storage place when I move into a new home. I love the convenience of getting into my trailer, and out, immediately.
arlene l. | First ImpressionsOverall, expected experience for the price I paid. You get what you pay for. I visited the location a few times for my storage, and one of my employees is annoyingly incompetent. The main office was being renovated, so a bunch of customers were standing outside, and the incompetent employee walked by us a couple of times and never let us know we had to check-in at the garage, which would've saved the customers several minutes of waiting for nothing. To the employee's credit, how can you expect more out of him when his own management can't even make signs to tell customers where to go. Secondly, when I got unit 337, I saw that the vent had been ripped off with a screwdriver so that some junky could reach their hand in to grab stuff to steal and pawn for heroin. I was assured that the location's management would patch the vent up so that my storage unit would be secure. After storing my belongings at this location for almost two months, management never patched up the vent. Luckily, nothing was stolen.
Calen S. | Overall ExperienceWe had a relative (nephew) move our items out of our storage unit. From interacting with Michael and his team when we moved things into the unit, we knew we could trust them and that they would also be flexible with these arrangements.
Martha Y. | Overall ExperienceThe staff was outstanding & super helpful. I'm not a huge fan of the 'trailer van' storage units. I was under the impression that these units were part of a bigger building, so that was a little unsettling especially because of the crime in this area. The only other complaint I have it not being able to reach ANYONE at U-haul on the phone. Your online system works great and I'm thankful that it all worked out. But not be able to ask a person a question before hand was a little unnerving.
Julie H. | First ImpressionsI been doing besness with u haul sênse 1992 loco lòng distênse and storage till now this y they buose me take my money for no use it been vêry bed special with bu
ABDELKRIM A. | Overall ExperienceYour staff is typically amazing so you must be doing something right! However, they seem to operate with little supervision and little training and few processes. They had no idea how to handle an upset customer (me) when I came in after my unit had been broken into. They need more support there. All they did was look uncomfortable and shrug their shoulders.Whoever the woman was that proactively reached out to me and finalized my move out was especially helpful the past few times I was there. I wish I knew her name. As far as the facilities, they are are dirty and stinky and messy. I wished we had moved out sooner.
Randall C. | Overall ExperienceSomeone broke into my storage and manager is rude and doesn't need the job. Please watch your cameras
ieasha m. | Overall ExperienceI emptied my storage unit and closed account but staff did not close account. Just found out I have a late fee. Terrible service will not recommend to anyone
Daisy J. | Overall ExperienceIt would of been nice for later hour at least until 9 pm. overall good no complaints.
PETER D. | Overall ExperienceThis storage should have at least one person who knows what’s going on because I still receive bills after I have moved or of my storage and returned all keys and I have my receipt to prove that
laura s. | Overall ExperienceI hauled this trailer from FL to WA state and the trailer pulled very nicely the entire way. The staff at the delivery location were very helpful and curtious, especially the manager Linda Price.
John F. | First ImpressionsEmployees were above and beyond expectations. Not being able to back the uhaul truck up to the storage about broke my back but otherwise everything outstanding!
Julie H. | First ImpressionsAll staff is very nice and caring
laura s. | ReservationStorage unit feels damp, so I may have to find another facility for the winter.
kim v. | Overall ExperienceThese folks are great. Super helpful and friendly, they stored my single Ubox for a brief time until I could come and get it, and then made it easy to pick it up and bring back. Highly recommended!
