Over the last few months I have rented 2 cargo Vans and one 15ft truck from 3 different locations, every vehicle I rented was filthy and had at least one light on (oil change needed, engine check light, etc). Years ago I had family who worked for the company and took pride in sending out clean and well maintained vehicles to the customers, service of these vehicles has been completely and utterly disappointing and unacceptable. The district managers should do some more visits to the authorized dealers and stores to improve this.

I had previous reservation for 8/30 Alpha Fleet Management Inc location but had to move it to Lankershim location due to the Van not being available when agent looked in system. I had moved my reservation earlier in the day and it was still in system but lacked a location. This is just a bug in the U-Haul backend system and not a fault of the agents I worked with who were very friendly. You should make sure that a location is required in every reservation in your system.

The pickup information I received from Uhaul said i could pick up the van at 9:00 am. However the office didn't open til 9:30. I to waste 30 minutes standing outside a closed office waiting. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!! Then the van I got looked like it hadn't been washed in about a decade. Although the interior was moderately clean, the outside was a disgrace.

The pickup was fine, the self drop off process was not ideal. I understand the safety concerns around not having an employee interact with customers, but I ended up paying $140+ for something that's advertised as $19.95 and I had no-one to consult about it. Not a great experience, and I don't understand how I got charged for that amount.

I returned the van within 24 hours but the office was closed so I parked the van inside the gate for safety and dropped the key in the box. I got a phone call 3 days later asking where the van was! It scared me but all was okay in the end. Keep better track as to not freak out the customer

I had made a reservation for 8am to pick up a van at this location with the 24/7 service. When I arrived that van was out, but I was unable to check in and take it. I got a warning saying that I had to come back when the location opened at 9:30am. I was moving out and into a new apartment so I came back at around 9:45-9:50. I found out the van was brought back after the location closed and wasnt checked back in. So the guys who worked there checked it in and changed my reservation. I thankfully was able to get my van, but it was dirty and I got it two hours late. I was supposed to be out of my old apartment at 5, but due to the delay I couldn't get out until 6:30! Definitely disappointed that I had to move my reservation two hours later and for the uncaring service of the employees.

My only positive experience was with the woman I spoke with over the phone the morning I tried to pick up my rental using the mobile pickup process. She walked me through it only to discover the key for the vehicle had not been placed in the lockbox. It was 7 AM and my only option was to return at 10 AM when they were open. When I did, the employee at the storage facility where the vehicle was kept took no responsibility for the inconvenience or the fact that I was four hours behind schedule and blamed it all on U-Haul, calling his business “just a third party contractor.” Then, I could not return my vehicle using the mobile option within the 24 hour window because I could not see the mileage accrued during my trip due to a “change engine oil soon” light on the dashboard and had to wait until the business was open at 10:00 the next morning. I found this morning that I was charged for an additional day plus another 86 miles and I had no way of verifying the actual number of miles I drove. I am very disappointed.

What a horrible experience! I had reserved a van and had done everything online. The information online said they had counter check in service. When I arrived, the employee was rude, said he DID not work for Uhaul, pointed to a sign & said I had to check in online. He was working with a storage customer, he locked up the office & walked away. I followed the directions on the sign, using my cell phone and then I was instructed that I had to receive counter service! I waited for him and simultaneously I called the UHaul phone number. I was on hold for 30 minutes before a UHaul person answered my call. The man behind the counter gave me a printed receipt and handed me the key. When I went out to the van it was filthy! There were used face masks, trash, food and debris in the van. While I was on the phone with the UHaul person, I explained the condition of the van and the dash board kept alerting me that the right rear tire needed air! It was very difficult to photo the mileage, because the tire warning kept reappearing. The counter person had charged me for CDW coverage, I had declined this when I reserved the van online.I could not review the photos showing the condition of the van because I was on the phone with the UHaul employee. After I was off the phone, the link to accept the condition of the van was no longer available! There also was a hand truck in the van, which I did NOT rent. When I went to add air to the tire, there was a screw lodged into the tire, which obviuosly was the cause of the continued air leak. Absolutely unacceptable, especially due to Covid-19!! Is UHaul going to be responsible? It was clear no one had checked on or cleaned this vehicle. Disgusting and shame on UHaul. I am a VERY UNHAPPY customer!

The associate inside the building was rude and most unhelpful. When he saw we were having difficulty with the phone app he was laughing at us. We could see him through the window. He offer zero help. Not sure if he worked for the storage unit place or not- but he was representing the U-haul company. The van has a low back tire. Did not have accurate reading of amount of gas inside van according to phone app. Mirror on passenger side of a van with 4000 miles on it was smashed into pieces and held on with duct tape. For these reasons I can not recommend U- haul to anyone. Customer service no longer exists. Quality of product was poor and could not exchange the van for the one next to it. Most difficult experience with purchaseibv a device in a long time - shame

Took 1 hour and 15 minutes to pick up the Uhaul truck share via online process, due to slow customer service responses and technical issues.

The operators of the location were friendly and efficent. My issue is with the van itself. Less than a quarter tank of gas.. The van was beyond dirty inside and out..not garbage, just not wiped down or cleaned on the outside.. looked like it had been parked on the street for a week. The kicker, the smell.. Im talking a porta potty spilled inside bad.. As if there was excrement lodged into the vents of the AC... It was a terrible driving experience...Penske, here i come.

The gentlemen working at this location did not do the walkthrough with me of the vehicle but had me sign something saying he did (I did not catch that prior to leaving the location). When I returned the vehicle, he noticed a scratch on the bumper. But instead of saying that I did it, he asked the other woman working with him if she had actually done the walk through with the guys who had dropped it off prior to my usage of the vehicle. He basically implied that the other people before me had damaged it but the employee did not actually do the walk through and had just marked on the sheet that it was in good condition. He said he would check with his manager and there was a possibility I wouldn't be charged for anything. When I received a call from him, he said that the other employee DID do a proper walk through and since I didn't notate any damages, I would be fully responsible for the damage on the bumper. To me, this all starts with really poor customer service and this man not doing his job in doing the initial walk through. In addition, he sure made it sound like the damage did not come from me but, because he had the appropriate paperwork, he charged me for it anyway. I will definitely NOT be using this location for Uhaul services again.

The van was filthy on the outside, and inside the van, it smelled like a barn or like horses has been in there. It was an awful stench.

The employees that helped my wife and I with the rental were great. The problem was with the rental itself. The van was DISGUSTING! We had planned on keeping the van for two days but returned it the same day due to our disgust with the condition of the vehicle. It was filthy on the outside, which is not a big deal if only the windshield and door glass were clean. But, that was nothing compared to the interior! The interior was filthy. Do these vans ever get cleaned/washed? The cabin was gross. Papers and receipts left in the cabin from several other rentals was proof of the lack of attention paid to the interior. The rear storage area of the van reeked of MANURE! There was DIRT all over the floor of the van. The attendant did her best to clean it out but it was impossible to do. And again, the stench was almost toxic. My wife and I were very displeased with the condition of the rental. We are still in the process of moving and will be seeking other options.

The gentleman working when I dropped off the dolly was incredibly rude to me. He first told me I was at the wrong location for drop off without asking me for my last name or confirmation number. I drove to two other nearby locations trying to figure out where my husband had picked it up from. When I called Uhaul it was confirmed that I was at the right location the first time. I went back and told him he wrongly sent me away. He said, "He didn't recognize me" so that's why he sent me away. When I mentioned my husband picking it up he said, "Hm your husband didn't mention you, imagine that" in a very rude and sarcastic way. I have never been spoken to so rudely by a customer service representative. I work in service and if one of my employee's every spoke that way to our clients he would be removed from the company immediately. The man's name was Darrell Henry. Thank you, Claire

First I got a call saying that I returned the car a day late (false). Then I was told that I was being charged a "promissory fee" because my credit card didn't go through (false). And now I'm getting phone calls and emails from bill collectors saying I have an outstanding balance (false). This entire experience has been miserable. It's been exhausting for me to be constantly correcting false information. My suggestion would be to make sure your records are correct before unnecessarily burdening your customers.

The truck was really dirty and I suppose it didnt make much difference to me but your public visibility is what you make it. The oil needs changing warning message was on when I got it, hope they change the oil now and then.
