KRISTIN RUPPRECHTCheck in was horrific and took half an hour. We’ve rented before and after the photo and driver’s license it was insane to have to call friends before I could obtain key Luckily my next rental is at a location that’s open
Linda SchlageSuch a sweet team!
Mie MannicheCargo van was new (under 800 miles), included a backup camera, and seemed to have better gas mileage than the posted estimate.
Geoffrey OwenLovely people working there!
Robin MitchellSo far good
Ronaldo AdrianoTruck was not cleaned at all, dog hair in the seats they did not provide a lock for the cargo.
Rafael Garciaalways satisfied with this location. I don't mind driving here 17 miles away because if their excellent service
estrella alarconOverall, I had an “OK” experience, I really didn’t appreciate the hoops required to jump through to pick up a vehicle remotely… My credit card information was already on file, every single one that I took were rejected at first, I had to take a front and back photo of my drivers license, then i was asked to surrender one of four additional items: a contact that’s either friend or family, OF WHOM YOU CALL? if those contacts don’t pick up and I have to provide more contacts and so on and so forth. A copy of my rental lease agreement which no one carries on their person, a passport, which I do not have, and I don’t assume people bring with them when they go moving and one other item that I can’t remember at this time. It’s not the most user friendly system. And whatever happened to being able to pick up a U-Haul from whatever location and drop it off at whatever location? Why did I have to rent a van and put over 300 miles on it instead of just going to San Diego renting a van and driving it up here with my stuff? I don’t know when that policy changed, but you need to bring that back because this “vehicle needs to be returned from whatever location it is picked up from“ garbage needs to stop. I will not be using U-Haul in the future.
Michael Dupillalways have a pleasant experience in this particular .
Estrella AlarconVery nice and accommodating person at the desk . Best experience ever renting a U haul at this location . Planning to go back again to same Location this week because of the experience I had
Lillian alarconThe reservation was handled great.
Herb GoodmanSome of the instructions were not accurate. During the check in process I was asked for my passport which then somehow was bypassed and I was able to complete the check-in process. The key location was mentioned on the rear side of the truck but it was in a lockbox at the store door.

JONATHAN NGUYENWe were very satisfied with the service we received from beginning to end. We appreciate the text messages. We were running late, family emergency, and received a phone call from a staff person asking if we were still interested in the rental. We will keep this venue in mind for future rentals.
Praxedes YzaguirreManriquezOwners were very helpful and friendly. They had the truck I needed even though last minute. Vehicle was very clean and in great working order. Will certainly rent from them again.
Jason MahakianU haul could explain the check in process a bit more in the email, perhaps a few short succinct images instead of a blob of text
Matthew KrzmarcikAcademy Film & Storage UHaul were a pleasure to deal with. Friendly, efficient, easy rental process and an immaculate truck. 5 Stars!
Michael KramerI wasn’t able to get the key return process working with my phone when I returned my key after hours—after this location so generously accommodated my urgent needs. Probably user error! Hopefully I don’t get charged extra, but the customer service was supreme!, so I don’t expect any issues.
Jenalyn SullivanCustomer service was great. They had the truck I reserved when I called. Location was very convenient to my home. Highly recommend this location. Be well. R
Ricardo GranadosThe right tire indicator read low. The driver passenger door doesn't close easily air draft noise comes through.
Roy BuchananThe staff should remind customers to fill out the online docs with pictures before they leave. I left after they hooked the trailer up to my truck and didn't see the pre trip documents till I returned the trailer.
Jeff BeckerThe owners were amazing kind and helpful.
Lisa SchaeferIf that’s possible change the gas cap, due somebody empty the tank Saturday night and I have to payi for extra gas.
Ismael RodriguezI was there with two other people dropping off U-Haul equipment. The location was scheduled to be open but nobody was there.
James LanumDebbie at the front desk is a gem. Super helpful, cheerful, always goes a step further to ensure that you have exactly what you need.
Lisa LyonsDriveway too small for 26ft truck to enter easily
Russell JohnsenVery efficient.
Nona MakinsonNone
Daniel PendergastKeep up the good customer service at this location.
Clyde MearsI rented an in town pick up in Santa Paula but when I got there, they did not have the rental available. I was not notified until I arrived. When they found another available truck of the same size I rented it was an in town rental in Camarillo. Camarillo is 20 miles away and after I picked up the rental I had to return it there. This increased my cost in both miles and gas for both the rental and my personal vehicle. It was a very frustrating expensive, and stressful experience.
James AndradeFriendly and accommodating staff.
Greg GillespieProprietor/manager was super personable and positive in every way. Thanks so much, sorry I forgot your name.
KEVIN VASSERThe entire process was completed in a matter of minutes. Great customer service and friendly staff and they treated me like I was a king!!! Stay the way you are.
STEPHEN ORTEGAVery friendly, very helpful. Option for appointment to pickup after 4:00.
John ArmstrongFirst, I drove around the block 3 times because there are no Uhaul signs. My 20 ft truck was dirty..mostly the windows to indicate that it had not been cleaned. THEN, I get home and start loading the truck and realize that the Air Conditioner was not only NOT working, it was consitently blowing warm air and my trip had me driving in 90-100 degree weather. Incredible because I was not stuck...the ONLY option I had was to call Roadside Assistance and just could not get through. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. Then, I needed to rent a trailer and was told the only trailer available in my location was 30 minutes away. That was Not true because we went on line and reserved one 10 minutes from my home. I am completely annoyed as I had to drive 10 hours in hot weather with the windows down so that we would not roast. I would like a response from someone about this.
Gary VanDorenI was disappointed the size trailer I reserved was not available anymore and I had to go to a size smaller. I wasn’t able to fit all of my items for moving and now I have to rent another trailer and do the 3.5 hour drive again. I don’t understand how a reserved trailer is no longer available two days before pick up. I now have to pay for the gas and rent another trailer to finish my move. Very disappointed in that.
Erin BrunsonGreat nice people.
RICHARD ROBBINSEveryone was awesome here .. I’ve gone back 3 times this last year because of the friendliness from everyone as well as the ease of the transaction. Highly recommend this location
Cassandra BurtGreat service!
REESE COPSEYNothing everything is great
rosa serratoI ordered a dolly and when I picked up my truck using the mobile app because it was too early for the store to be open, it didn’t have the dolly in the truck at all.
Jessica ShobeLocation is nice. Staff was friendly… perhaps in the future the could not question a person if the equipment will be returned on time because “it has to be out of state on Friday”. I felt like I was not taken seriously.
Jason MillerVery nice and accommodating.
Greg EdwardsFix your system, correct my receipt and send to me. I was told by your phone staff today you had a glitch yesterday. Your people in the field did a great job.
Stephanie SernaThis location didn’t check in the truck. They just took the keys and said thanks. I asked if he was going to inspect the truck and he said no that he would take my word for it. I was a bit uncomfortable as there was a dolly and blankets in the back. So I took pictures and a video of me dropping it off so I had proof that everything was there.
Daniel PendergastMaybe go to Bulldog liquidators and drop off some pamphlets or brochures of your location. It was so convenient and had no idea you were there. So convenient
Margarita DulceClean out the trucks. Every rental I have gotten has been dirty inside the trailer portion.
