First of all. I only had the truck for 1 day, I returned it almost 3 hrs. Earlier than I thought it would be. I was unable to scan the QR code needed to check it in. The agent couldn't do it either. I left without him ever checking the mileage and he said he'd do it later. I never received any paperwork when I took possession, nor when I returned it. I called the 800 # I received no help either; I was told the store was closed but I'd need to go back there to close it out. I returned and the agent had me go out and get the mileage and gas gauge amount. I put in more gas than I received it with. It was below 1/2 a tank and I returned with more than that. I tracked the mileage with my car and it was 9.9 miles. I've used U-haul many times over the years and have NEVER had these issues. I was never told I had to return it the same day if I was to be charged for one day (instead I was charged for 2 despite the fact that I returned a good 3 hrs prior to the time I said I might be returning it) I returned by 4 pm but was unable to get it closed. The “safe charge was $30, not the $5 I was quoted. This was terrible service and no information at all was given to me otherwise it would have been checked in earlier. There should NOT be charges of $114. Without applicable taxes my charges should equal $42.77, no where near $114. I'm highly disappointed in all aspects of this transaction and what little customer service I received on the phone and at the Valero. I further returned the vehicle cleaner than it was when I received it.

Make them do their job when someone is renting or returning uhaul.Also a working telephone number to call
Angela C.The worst service ever. These people charged me for 2 days. I rented a truck and returned it within 90 minutes. They acknowledged that it was returned within 90 minutes but yet insisted that they had to charge me for 2 days. There are 24 hours in a day and 48 hours in 2 days. DO NOT waste your time or maybe your money using this location. Unbelievably horrible experience!
Wilberforce A.Renting through the app worked out great. Definitely will use this location again
Jeff R.The Gardner location is very inconvenient. It cost me an additional 60 to 70 miles round trip. If you live in the Kansas City area, don't waste your time driving to Gardner. Just postpone your move until a vehicle become available closer to home.
Eric D.Explain to customer that the U Haul rental closes at 7:30 pm and the gas station stays open. Not aware of the discrepancy
John K.I did not even need to go inside as the agent was quick to meet me outside.
Natasha J.They had 1 person running the gas station and the U-Haul. The person was ignoring the U-Haul customers to help the gas station customers first as they kept coming in. Waited at least 20 minutes before even being helped because of it and we had people waiting to help us.
CURTIS F.It took over an hour and three different rental agreements and multiple calls to the employees boss before he finally figured out how to rent me the truck I had already reserved (my reservation got cancelled as one of the three attempts at getting the truck checked out to me). Additionally the back tires on the truck were all but completely bald leaving me stuck multiple times on my driveway that is not paved. Luckily I was able to use my truck and a tow strap to get unstuck but it would have been nice to not need to. Overall this was the worst uhaul rental experience I've ever had. I will stick to the Olathe location from now on if I'm renting anywhere near Gardner again.
Mark S.Very friendly, courteous and well prepared. Had me on the road quickly.
Chris I.Well I elite I should get a discount due to the seat belt did not fasten I was put at jeopardy with getting a ticket , or if I would of been in a wreck. So what do you think ?
Ronnie H.not a U-Haul site, not much room, shared with Valero gas station. People were decent but not happy to see me. I have used UHaul many times, I am a good judge of what experience should be. Not top site I can tell you.
DAVID SAMUEL R.none
Charles G.It was strange taking it to a gas station and there are no directions as to where to drop the key. The app says in the drop box but there wasn't one that I found so I took it to the man inside.
Genna S.No need to improve The location attendant was extremely helpful.
Karen L.Nothing. They were fantastic
Kathryn P.Very slow service
Nancy B.The attendant that checked us in and out was courteous and made the experience great during a stressful move. Thank you.
Christina A.Very helpful truck was a available when needed busy place but they acknowledge you when you walk in will use them again
Vonda F.Great customer service. Excellent pickup and drop off experience. Thank you!!
Matt D.Awesome Service!
Carl T.I understand that this is just a drop off point, and we did it after hours so there's not much to do to improve it. We are grateful for the closer location to drop off, so we didn't have to pay additional mileage and fuel.
Misty B.Easy check in
Michael K.I will never return to this location. Representative rude and unprofessional.
Shay C.Never got a dolly or receipt pretty sure I was charged for one . Unprofessional service.
Isaiah G.Renting a moving van was quick and easy, very convenient.
Dena W.They were very friendly and very prompt when we got there.
Heather H.Rude customer experience, was charged more because we went 1.5 miles over. Told we didn't use the Dolley we rented for $10 because it was broken. Did not care, was way over charged & I feel very disappointed. Will never use a uhaul truck again.
Taylor S.Very great customer service
Steven A.Have more smaller units available with a dolly
sandra S.He was very helpful and I very much appreciated that!!
Heather M.Great service and great people
Muhammad A.Very good
Cesar A.Was not able to pick up at preferred location, specified at time of reservation. No moving pads were available at pickup location, in spite of being ordered on original reservation.
Thomas B.Really expensive if you don't return to pick up location…
Hesther M.Doesn't answer the phone. Leaves dolly and furniture pads in truck and then charges you for it when you didn't ask for it or need it.
Jered J.The truck was dirty and I was only able to have the truck until 3pm because uhaul double booked the truck in error. Next time I need to rent a moving truck I will use a different company.
David S.Drove all the way out to Gardner (25 minutes from my home). Got there and they didn't have the ball I had reserved. Had to drive to auto store and buy a $40.00 ball. Got everything hooked up and lights didn't connect. The lady trying to help me had customers at the gas station and couldn't do it all! She called the boss, I got on the phone and he was incredibly rude to me, honestly out of control! I had to unhook everything, go back to the auto store to buy an adaptor for lights to work. Came back, hooked it up. She didn't know what she was doing. Not her fault, she just hadn't been trained. Went back to the auto store so nice guy inside could reattach trailer because as I suspected, it wasn't on right! EVEN THOUGH....when I talked to the 1-800 number I made sure they would know how to attach and would have a ball!!!!! HORRIBLE PLACE! Will NEVER rent through them and maybe even UHAUL again! My $18.00 rental fee came with a $40.00 ball and hitch and a $15.00 light adaptor!
Michele S.Uhaul app would not function correctly as it would not take the photos. So I ended up spending another $25 for a cleaning of the truck due to app failure.
Matt C.This location is not a U-Haul building with supplies, but actually a Valero gas station. The attendant had to call someone at U-Haul when I arrived. There were a few trailers set off to the side of the gas station. I checked in over the phone. Be aware that you will need to hook up the trailer yourself - I thought someone would be there. It was not easy to do by myself, so I suggest a 2nd person come with you. I did arrive early, so that may have been the issue. You will also need to unhook the trailer yourself. Due to a heavy moving weekend, my original reservation was not guaranteed to have the trailer I reserved when I arrived, so I had to find a location nearby. Not an optimal experience, but I understand it is hard to control when people return trailers.
LOU H.It was disappointing to find out 2 days before our move that we had to drive an extra hour to pick up after being told it would be in Ottawa. The woman helping on the phone was very rude. However, the place of puck up and drop off were excellent.
Shannon C.I do not believe this falls on the store renting the trailer but it rained during the night and with the trailer sitting in the driveway overnight, the trailer leaked and boxes, bed etc. was wet when we unloaded the trailer Sun. morning.
Carl G.The employee was not trained on how to reimburse a customer a deposit when a cash payment was made. The employee attempted to reach a member of management to ask about procedure in this case, manager did not answer phone. Management should train the staff better and they should check if the staff knows how to do UHaul returns, if they don't, they need to get trained so the customer returning the equipment and the customers of the establishment can have a smooth and quick experience.
Rachel T.The uhaul was in great condition when I arrived and the process of renting it was smooth and easy. I am glad the rental was so close to home, made it simple and an easy choice for me.
JACOB W.They were closed when I returned the truck, so really it's hard to say. There was a dropbox so that worked fine...there just wasn't a lot of room to return on a Saturday. Part of that might be my fault as I guess I didn't really research the best location to drop off.
Michael A.They knew nothing about me dropping off the trailer but they were polite helpful and the place was clean
