I had to travel 1.5h to get a trailer, it wasn’t the one I wanted and it costed me more to rent the smaller trailer. Would have appreciated if the price would’ve been the same at least.

They've been having a hard time with their U-Haul computer system. It took a few days to be able to rent a trailer from them.

Make sure that the pick up location is in the same town. Worst U-Haul experience ever. Complete messed up my traveling plans as I had to waste almost 3 hrs just to pick up the truck. To top it off, I was notified 1 day prior to original pick up after having booked the truck a month early. Extremely disappointed in this service. Definitely will go with competitors next time.

When there is truck that should not be rented due to damages and tire problems it should be pulled tried, to rent it 2 times in a row also when you rent a truck at one place you should have to get it from some,where else

We left with a trailer with non functioning brake lights and were told they were functional. A mechanic checked the lights when I was not able to get them to work after cleaning all the connections. He said the problem was in the trailer. In addition once the rear door was open it would not close since the cable was wound into the spring. It took considerable effort to unwind it to enable the door to close. Overall a taxing experience that I would not care to repeat. We used the energency flashers as brake lights and were very uncomfortable doing so fir iur 10 hours drive.

Ordered a trailer on line for 2 days to move my ford f150 from Timmins to Sudbury, the trailer was too small, was not safe to use. I returned the trailer to the original pick up location in Cochrane, the lady agent gave the number to call, no answer to address a refund of the trailer.

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! I was charged 950$ more then I should've been! I've called UHAUL 3 times and they can never open my contract to refund me! I paid my original contract and they made a mistake and then charged me double because they didn't include a 150$ car carrier in my original. They never refunded me the original amount and still can't explain the second amount charged! never got a receipt or new contract! DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! It would be more convenient to strap a fridge to your back and walk 500 KMs on legos then trust them with your credit card information

Le niveau d’essence était plus bas que ce qui était inscrit, (j’ai les photos ) alors on m’a charger de l’essence a mon retour! En plus du service pourri de U-Haul, j’ai dû parcourir 700 km pour avoir un camion, perdu deux , payer deux motels, pourtant j’avais une réservation de fait une semaine à l’avance.

After being tossed around by Uhaul ( I had to drive 4 hours to get a truck I reserved 1 and a half month ahead of time in my home town) I was at least happy to get a perfect welcome by the staff in Cochrane. Thumbs down to the company but thumbs up to the North Adventure Inn.

Was supposed to drop off equipment at another location; however, they refused to accept the equipment because they no longer wanted to deal with the nightmare that is Uhaul (seems to be a common theme.

Terrible place in terms of service. We arrived and were informed that no debit was accepted, only credit or cash. We then also learned of a down deposit, which we were unaware of, so we had to travel back to town for the exact amount needed. Staff was not friendly.

Couple things happened. First, there was no one on site to help hook up the 6x12 trailer. The tongue of the trailer is very heavy. Very difficult for one person to do, after a struggle I got it on, to remove it , I had to unclip the hitch and wiggle it out so it fell, so I could get my ball hitch back. Second, 2 of the tires had low pressure. Could not notice this until the trailer was loaded and they looked flat. One tire had 8psi, the other had 19.5psi. The other 2 were 55psi. So had to go and get a compressor and fill them. All in all it was a bad experience.

Unfortunately, the people at this location had NO idea what they were doing, the truck was fine, ( except for the cost to drive it ) . In my opinion, it would be a good idea to find a different location in the Cochrane area to rent vehicles from you. The location was absolutely disgusting…….and that’s being modest.

Got my paperwork done at 10:20am and The truck was not cleaned off of snow. There was over two feet of snow on a 26’ truck. It took over an hour to get the truck out of its spot, warmed up and snow removed. I had to personally go on the truck myself to clean off to ensure safety of others or not to get stopped by the MTO. We did not leave from the site until almost 12pm. Then told I can return at 12 for return then got billed for an extra day as it wasn’t returned at the same time of the paperwork!!

The trailer was buried in the snow. We had to dig to get to the tongue. It should have been pulled out and ready to go.

Uhaul should not allow Northern Adventure Inn to rent their trucks. The place is filthy, the person barely speaks English and is extremely slow on computer. The truck was in a field and had a huge hole in the floor.

UHaul has no jacks on their trailers!! We showed up, and had to physically lift the trailer to get it onto the hitch, I recommend updating your equipment so everyone can easily attach it to their truck

The problem that I had with the drop off is I live in Timmons Ontario and had to drive two hours and 15 minutes to drop off the trailer which cost me about $100 in fuel so therefore because you have no drop off location in Timmons Ontario it was a very expensive rental

Unknown if this is a new location or new personnel but they clearly didn't know what to do. They had to make numerous calls to their helpline to resolve the issues.

The cab of the truck I rented had a terribly foul smell when I inspected it. There was what seemed to be animal hair inside I asked the agent to have the cab cleaned for me as there was no wat I could drive it without feeling I’ll and vomiting I picked it up the next day and it seemed to have been cleaned but the smell was still there I strongly recommend they inspect the vehicles before they allow others to rent I’d appreciate a rebate on my rental costs

The whole experience was terrible. I reserved my 15 foot truck 2.5 months ahead of our moving date to be told a few days before that there was none available and had to drive an extra 200kms (100kms there and back). I was told I was getting a "free" upgrade and 170 free kms as I was getting a 20 foot truck. I'm actuality, I was getting charged more to include 170 kms and no one took into consideration that I was driving an additional 100 kms and would be using more gas. Furthermore, I was able to make arrangements with my brother in law to go pick up the truck to save me time on a already stressful and busy day only to have him waste 1.5 hrs at the rental office dealing with someone who clearly did not what he was doing. This was a terrible experience on a stressful day and would not recommend U-Haul's service to anyone.

it took 30 min in the office to get my paper work and after that I was told, "trailer is out there". We have to back up to trailer in the field and hook it up with no help. Very dirty place.

This was the absolute worst moving experience of my life. The company didn't have the driveway shoveled.we got stuck, they refused to call a tow truck. Connected a ratchet strap to my car and a uhaul. The strap broke and smashed my windshield. They wont do anything about that,did not provide the dolly we were supposed to have so we had to carry washers and a dryer, fridge and a stove all my hand. Then I was told I had a free e tra 24 hours with the truck for my troubles, I just got my receipt and they charged for the day and a van that I never rented! The worst. Do not use uhaul in Cochrane ontario!!!

Explain you have to do everything yourself including digging out the truck. The lady working there does none of the booking, check in or return of the truck. It is completely up to the customer. I had to spend 1 hour on the phone the day of to figure it all out so we could be about pur business and still had the same return time which was no longer 24 hours. Completely disappointed in the service provided

Was told cochrane was a pick up and drop off location only had to book online cochrane showed no availability for Dolly’s was looking at three of them Burried in the snow. Call 1800 they said no availability drive to Timmins called another 1800 number they finally made the reservation. Went back to pick up dolly couldn’t pay for it at cochrane location they had no computer system had to call 1800 number no one there wanted to take a payment they wanted online or go to Timmins location to rent one there. Finally someone took my payment over the phone, Pick up dolly it was dragged out of the snow had to shovel it off myself, dolly worked fine when I brought it back to cochrane location I unhooked it walked into the place was told that I had to go online now to say it was returned because they had no computer set up with u haul. Left the u haul place went home started computer to fill in return then it gets to a point they want exact location of drop off point or I will get billed an extra fee. So I had to drive back to cochrane location to hit my location. Very unhappy with cochranes location. I’ve been to north bay and Timmins before and everything was simple and helpful not this place. I recommend you take the contract away from them and give it to people that actually have some customer service.

The same comment as above. There was a miscommunication between the Uhaul branches and I ended up paying for it (2 extra days). Not impressed!

Have an employee awake at the time of pick up and not wandering over in PJs. Also giving the proper key to the proper vehicle and having the reservation information at hand. Service was absolutely brutal. I am not one to bitch or complain as it's not always one person's fault, however this location was a joke.

Very unorganized. The woman at the desk had no clue what she was doing. I suspect the issue was unreliable internet due to the location being on the outskirts of town, but overall it was just an unpleasant experience.

Booked 2.5 weeks in advance of my move. Told 3 days before pickup that the trailer I booked was not available and would have to drive 1.5hrs north to Cochran to pick up a significantly larger trailer. When I arrived it took the guy at the desk about 1.5hrs to process the transaction for reasons unknown. Trailer was also parked facing away from the parking lot (ie.tongue facing onto the lawn) so I had to drive across the lawn to get it. Someone without a vehicle as capable off road as mine would have a lot of trouble with this. Would not recommend.
