inside cab was dirty, used tissues in the cup holders and smelled like old cigarettes when I turned on the heater

Agent was rude and did not do a walk around with truck. Agent did not provide any information regarding the truck The truck was in poor condition, the heat did not work, tires were almost bald and had no tread, making traction in the snow virtually impossible. Original location for renting the truck was closed before the posted hours of operation. Overall experience was below poor and I'd definitely not be recommending this location or the original location for future rentals

There was a “ live”?Chinchilla left the cab of the truck I that I used that day. The staff tied to have it returned to the owner but, I’m still waiting for the call. It is being well taken care of…..Ronnie Cardinal

The location was so difficult to find with a small sign to indicate where I was supposed to go. The truck had very bad brakes, a squeaky belt and terrible alignment. Clearly not a well maintained vehicle

I accidentally overfilled the gas tank. I’m just over half when I got it to 3/4 of a tank. The girl is over don’t do any money back I said well then I’ll go get my jerrycan and I’ll siphon the tank. Then she lagged over another guy and he said I’ll give you 20 bucks off and it was credited. Staff at this location should be trained properly on the system

The fuel lines were cut and the fuel had been siphoned from the trucks when we got there. There was a guy in front of us who was trying to rent a uhaul, he was told his postal code wouldn't work in the system so provide a different one. He asked "I don't understand, should I make one up?" And she shrugged. He was still there when I left trying to figure it out AND the truck he had reserved was one of the damaged ones. I pre-paid for a dolly and when I asked for it she shrugged and said "we don't have those". I said "I've already paid" and she told me to contact uhaul for a refund. I pushed back and said this really wasn't acceptable, I need that equipment to move. The teller said something to a man at the back of the store in a different language and he got the equipment, it was literally in the store behind some food. Very unprofessional and needlessly time-consuming and stressful experience... moving day is stressful enough, save yourself the hassle and go to a different location.

Vehicle should come full and returned full. Vehicle had 3/8 of a tank. I used 1/16 of a tank and it's hard to put gas in to get it back to 3/8. I returned it with with almost 1/2 tank.

Your website needs to be fixed. I wasn’t able to create an account because my email was linked to my sister’s account (as a backup driver) who rented from U-haul previously. Subsequently, I had to call your 1-800 number to change my reservation and I never received any confirmation of this change.

My pick up location was changed without notice - notice sent hours after I had returned the truck. The furniture dolly I had reserved was unavailable at the new pick up location - no solutions offered. I had to drive my personal vehicle further. I had to drive the truck further (at $1/km). I had to pay more for gas due to the extra distance. It added an hour or more to my day to show up at the original pick up spot and then have to travel through road construction to and from the new location. It was a very disappointing experience and I will look into other options next time I need a transport solution. This in more a reflection on the U-Haul organization as a whole than just this specific location. I think this survey is unfair to attach the low rating just on the location.

Vehicle had a lot of damage that was not previously noted. Vehicle was obviously improperly returned and not checked over by the staff at the location before being loaned out again. There were moving blankets left unfolded in the back when I opened the truck, there was ropes attacked to the inside of the box, there was a padlock left on the back door with the key left underneath the unfolded blankets. I was unimpressed with the cleanliness and maintenance of this vehicle as well as the condition upon pick up.

They had terrible customer service - I got the truck 2 hours past the time I reserved it for, they did not do a good job of assisting me to find a solution and then once I got the truck I requested a discount (small of like a $10 credit) due to the late time and they refused any discount. Will never go to this location again

The location and the guy was excellent. U-Haul it's self tricked me from the second I booked the U-Haul than failed to honor what they advertised that cost me over $250 in expenses over the situation and no one really knew what they were talking about but everyone knew how to tell me I don't qualify for the offer they offered me in the beginning over all horrible experience

I requested a dolly and they don't have one. I also dislike having to leave a cash deposit when I gave my visa number booking the U-Haul. On Friday I also booked a u haul and when I went to pick it up there was another lady renting a U-Haul and I waited at least 25 min to get mine. The system appears. To be very slow at times. Then because I was paying cash and for 2days they wanted a bigger deposit. I got fed up that Friday after giving 2 credit card numbers which she said weren't valid and went to the west end to pick up a u. Haul there. Which made me late for my moving help who were waiting for me outside my residence. It was so cold out my help ended up leaving because I was 2 hours late. So I didn't have help to move on Friday and had to hire movers on Sunday and Monday and then rented uhaul again Tuesday and finally completed my move without dolly requested.

I booked for a St. Albert location and was forced to use an Edmonton location. I booked well in advance and a truck should have been moved to my location for me. I shouldn’t have to drive 20 minutes out of my way to get a truck with that much notice.

I had made my reservations at a u-haul place next to my house, but my reservation was amended to this location which was 10kms away from my house. This added on to my distance cost. But at the end of the day, the vehicle was fit for purpose & my move was done hassle free. The dealer was friendly & respectful. I truely enjoyed this experience.

There was a bit of garbage in the cabin from the last person, which the manager at that location should have noticed before renting it again. Not a big deal but would show more attention. The windshield was dirty with bug splatter from last person. A quick clean would have been good. Overall my experience was fine. Minor issues. Truck ran great.

Only one employee upon entry, she was behind the till, i told her I was here to pick up a Uhaul truck, she stared at me, I asked if this is where I pick up u haul truck, and she said "no". I pointed to the u haul sign, she stared at me. A guy walked out from the back room, I asked him if I can get a haul truck, he asked if I had a reservation, I said yes, he said nothing, grabbed a broom and swept for 5 mins. I asked if I was in the right place, and he nodded. Eventually he began working on getting me setup, but kept stopping to help customers at the till. It was painful dealing with this location.

I was not impressed when I went to fill the gas tank after we finished our move. We only put 10 miles on the vehicle. The tank took 17 plus liters to refill. $25.22. There is no way we used that much fuel to go 10 miles. Meaning that the renter before us did not refill the tank.

The truck and equipment I booked far in advance for this pickup date were at the location when I came to pick it up… yet the guy at the desk would not release it. An hour and 20 minutes later (during my tight 3 hour move out window) he gave us another truck that was there that was 1/3 of the size I had reserved. We had to make multiple trips to move everything in this small truck and I ended up paying way more for the original rental quote due to extra mileage. It was so much extra time, work and stress. I honestly will never use uhaul again it was such a horrible experience.

The service at this location is absolute crap. I had an appointment to pick up a truck at 8am. The dealer was nowhere to to be seen quarter after and I had to call him on his cell to get him to open the location. He mumbled and could not hear a word he said. Very rude and clearly doesn't care about the client. To make things worse, my truck wasn't there! The guy who was supposed to drop it off was over 24 hours late! No acccountability. None. All he said was that we'd have to wait until 9am to call customer service. I couldn't wait an hour as I was on a tight schedule (hence the reservation I made 3 months in advance). And finding a truck ad-hoc at the end of thr month would have been near impossible anyways. I had to take a smaller truck (which screwed someone else over mind you) and make way more trips. Spending more on mileage and fuel. The truck was dirty with busted mirrors and visors. The suspension was absolute crap and the bearings were probably close to shot. I also didn't get the moving blankets I ordered or the dolly I reserved. Lots of my furniture got damaged because of this. This experience completely turned me off from u-haul. Unless u-haul reimburses me somehow (more than the 50 dollar guarantee) I will never use u-haul for my moves again.

A very poor excuse for doing business I love uhaul. I believe in what they stand for giving these small businesses an opportunity to be part of the franchise. That being said I rented a truck with out ever showing my ID. As I was leaving a customer was driving away in a truck that had the catalytic converter cut out and lights out

The keys for the truck that I had reserved at Saint Albert furniture and Appliance we're not left in the lockbox so I had to phone into U-Haul to find out what was going on and had to go the above location which was out of my way. The back of the truck was very dirty and I had to sweep it out before we could use it. It look like it was used to haul fertilizer or some other white substance. The floor of the interior of the truck had a lot of gravel and rocks in it otherwise the interior was fairly clean. The exterior of the truck was also very dirty.

Not treat them like garbage, accuse them of not filling up, and especially treating women like cr*p because they’re so called “vulnerable”. Literally the worst experience ever and won’t use again, nor recommend them to a friend. I’ll tell them to AVOID AVOID AVOID this location. Scammers.

This rental experience was an absolute disaster. Our rental time was before our first location opened and online pick up was not set up. By the time customer service was able to get to us the location should have been open but they were late. The reservation was transferred to a different location. We traveled there and the woman working had to call someone to walk her through the pick up process. We were an hour and a half late by the time we left with the truck. When returning the truck there was an extra $15 charge that we hadn't been asked about. Stood in the store for over half an hour to get it sorted out with 2 of us having to speak to 3 different people. Instead of waiving the fee that was not part of the original reservation the store had to pay us out of their register and making us feel terrible for costing them money. Worst experience I have ever had with a rental
