One of the most stressful exhausting experiences of my life. I have used U Haul 3 other times this last 16 months. Because of this one horrible, stressful, botched, experience I will never use U Haul again! This was moving hell, because of how U Haul handled it.

Danette Ehrenstrom | Overall ExperienceShelly was amazing! This is the only location I will use moving forward. Couldn’t have made it any easier!
Nicholas FillmoreThe location closed early so I couldn't return the vehicle without going through a very cumbersome and difficult online process. The signage clearly indicated they were open until 5, but they closed at 4 without warning. The truck had very bad headlights that weren't correctly aimed. The website said the location accepted cash, but that wasn't true, so I had to make alternate payment arrangements at the last minute. Overall a poor experience, and if I ever need a u-haul again, I will find a different place to rent from.
DAVID MOOREEquipment was available on time and in good shape. Everything worked as advertised.
GERALD POSTthe self checking pick up process was quite a surprise. I purposely chose a location that was manned and then 2 days before it was switched to this site. there was no explanation of the BS involved with the self check in. not sure why you need to speak to my boss in order to rent a truck that has nothing to do with my employer.
RICH SCHULTEPlease have at least a half tank of fuel in truck ready for next customer. Mine had 3/8th. That seemed a little odd. Movig day is a stressful day. It would help the day start better.
ROBERT WALSHMy experiences with both Shannon and Ben were excellent! They both were very accommodating and made the drop off easy. The communication was very clear and up front with no unforeseen challenges.
Warren Matheney | ReservationBen is the best at the location!
Emma SmithI pulled in and parked, and was met by the employee, who took the keys and let me go. I left my i-Pass in the truck, and he called and left a msg informing me later, with the hours he would be there today and tomorrow. Very thoughtful, very helpful. (I didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on cleanliness.)
Mark HaskinsOnce again, Shannon and Ben were wonderful!! I’ll use InTowne for all of my moving and storage needs.
Dawn RiesWe love the location of the facility, but our spot was not ideal with the trailer that was parked in the spot in front of us and the trees that line the back of our spot left our boat cover stained and covered in debris. Now - it's not the end of the world and we will be back in the spring - if you have something available, but hoping we can get a more open spot. We shall see. Thanks and see you all in 2024.
Jennifer Guerri | Overall ExperienceExceptional service, good pricing, safe neighborhood. I parked my RV in their parking lot for years and had no issues. It's a perfect location!
Allison Sikorsky | Overall ExperienceGreat customer service. Well stocked inventory.
Steven AustinGreat service! I highly recommend.
Virgil SerrantoHighly recommend this location. Shannon @ the front desk provided excellent customer service. Quick check-in/check-out. Van was practically brand new. Will definitely return should I need another rental. Thumbs up.
Christopher MartellPerfect facility for my needs! Highly recommended!
Nancy Hacker | Overall ExperienceWhat a great staff! Ben especially goes above and beyond to help. The facility is clean, climate controlled and well lit. Also, it's in a cool, sturdy older building. Great experience!
William Cavanaugh | Overall ExperienceHave a spare tire on vehicle. Make all tires are in excellent condition. The rear drivers side tire was bad. Had to have brand new one put on vehicle before I could travel. This was done thru your 800 customer service team
Barbara BrownGreat communication and service.
Suzanne HensleyThe truck was clean and worked. The check engine light came on while I was driving it and there were times it was a little sluggish on the acceleration. The awesome folks at In Towne said they'd look at it.
William CavanaughBen at the site was very helpful. That said, the remote pickup system sucks. Asking for my driver’s license at the time I book the truck would be a good idea. But getting to the site to pick up the truck and then having the system ask for things you would never bring to pick up a truck because I have an out of state license was very frustrating. Luckily for me, Ben arrived to work early and was very helpful. Unfortunately, nobody was at the site one hour before their advertised closing time so again, I had to use the remote feature. I had to go back to the truck three times as the system kept asking me to take pictures. After I took a picture of the interior of the truck, which was difficult as I was holding the trash I had accumulated during the rental, the system closed and I had no record or way to start the process again. All I could do was drop the key and contract and leave, which I did. Remote access is a great idea, but set it up properly and the customer will have a much better experience. My rating of the site is not an indictment of the location but of your system.
Christopher WantuchThis is my go to drop off/pick up location. I went to the wrong spot this time, but they were so helpful helping me check the trailer back to their location and unhooking the 6x12. Two person job for sure!
James GoodmillerSome signs on where to park your car.
Micheal OliverEverything was excellent
James PalazzoloThis is the best Uhaul renting experience that exists. The customer service from the guy working here is 100%. I would like to hire him away from Uhaul so he can make some real money.
Michael WhiteThe drop off was ok, they should have wheel chocks in a basket as I had to look around for them. I never got how to return after hours when I booked. I had to call, but the lady on the ph was helpful. You should follow up on line with details once a renter books. I got tossed off the site and had to re log in to return the trailer. But I find most all business do not have very well thought out processes. Overall it went ok though.
Stephen LaneThis U-Haul location is the best!!!
Paul LesiukCathy and her team really helped us in our time of need identifying storage space for our household goods. We had miscalculated our space requirements and Cathy and her team saved us on move out day with additional storage options. Thanks
Rich Watson | Overall ExperienceGirl who helped me check out truck was awesome. Very friendly and professional.
Chris RanweilerNo problems, no issues - this is by far, the best UHaul facility I've ever used. Great Staff. Very helpful!
Gordon SmithFirst rate!
Mark VehlewaldThank you very much.
Virginia RichardPut a sign off the main road, we had a hard time finding the location.
Karthik SubbuI ordered online and requested a furniture dolly but did not get one. Make sure it’s on the truck the night before if possible?
Craig ShankThe new methods for return using photos of truck while efficient were difficult to obtain with the dome light not working in the truck at night. It would be wise to be sure the dome lights work so an interior shot would be obtainable.
Merry EdmondsonShannon at In-Town Storage was very courteous and helpful!
JEFFREY GORDENMy entire experience was very poor. I had planned to pick up at st Charles and drop off in Dundee . But surprisingly u haul turned me down and forced me to return the rental to pick up location. This was very costly and wasted my whole evening. Vert poor customer service .
Parsam FarahmandA/C was not working. Drivers side window roll up kept falling off.
Rich WatsonVery seamless process. Obtaining a UHaul and storage same location was great. Very pleased and customer service rep was great as well as helpful.

Terese Levasseur | Overall ExperienceHave them accept cash payments, for people who do not want to rack credit card debt or have to run to the bank to deposit cash and then use a debt card. I prefer to pay cash.

Matthew GouldI had gotten to the rental center 5 minutes after the power went out, the clerk could have just told me to leave cuz they had no power but he did the pains takenly road of entering my rental information through his phone, I'll always remember that is a positive experience because he cared good show!!

Mark Johnson | Overall ExperienceExcellent experience friendly staff!
Mary Ann Doukas | Overall ExperienceThank you very much for your service while we relocatet to IL, we will recommend you no doubt.
Thierry Lagueux | Overall ExperienceExcellent storage facility! I used this storage company for over one year and couldn't be happier! Heated / air conditioned units, four loading ramps, and security cameras throughout! Great rates too! I highly recommend!
Rick Hoffman | Overall ExperienceService was good and the facility was convenient. We noticed after unpacking and moving our furniture into our home all of our clothes and upholstery items took on the smell of the facility which is a sort of industrial type smell which is hard to explain. It was actually my only concern when looking at the facility initially. It’s a it’s almost a wet clay /play doh/ concrete smell. All of the mentioned items were boxed and even the packing paper absorbed the smell. The upholstery was shrunk wrapped and cushions plastic bagged. Luckily most things can be washed but our sofas may not fair so well. We’ll see how much baking soda and febreeze it will take Overall service and everything was good I just cannot recommend this establishment because if the lingering smell that was left.
Russell Vogt | Overall ExperienceLove this place and will be back if we need storage space again... thank you
daniel heckle | Overall ExperienceThe staff at this storage facility gave me excellent customer service. The staff is very helpful and once you book a reservation with them; your unit is reserved and waiting for you. Unlike other storage units who state to you the same and when you show up; you find out your storage unit has been taken. Their prices on the units is very good too. If you rent a the 20 or. Or 26ft. U haul truck from them; they will credit your storage unit $25.00. They also have dollies and carts available for you to use. They have different platforms you can unload or load your truck up from. I was very satisfied with the facility staff; layout; the loading areas, security system; and the cleanliness of the facility and trucks..

Louise Baron | Overall ExperienceThe staff at inTowne are extraordinarily helpful. The facility is spotless. I would recommend them to anyone.
Steven Spurling | Overall ExperienceMy situation was a little different. I thought I would need storage for a move from another state but as the articles that were coming kept diminishing they worked with me to keep reducing the size of the unit. All who work there are terrific.
Peggy Montgomery | Overall ExperienceMuch nicer than the other 2 storage places I’ve used in the last 20 years. This place always had time for my questions and needs. Thanks
