Service in Thunder Bay was fine. The issue is UHaul's approach to one way trips. Booking in advance seems meaningless and there is no attempt to notify or help the customer until the last minute. This is the second one way trip this year that I have booked with UHaul and it is the second time UHaul's approach to one way bookings let me down. Made me lose time. Made me lose money. Caused avoidable stress during a move (apparently moving is one of the top 3 most stressful events humans go through even without terrible service from UHaul). At the last minute they notified me that the vehicle I reserved weeks in advance was not available. I ended up having to drive an hour instead of 10 minutes to pick up a truck. UHaul increased the truck mileage a little, but what about all the extra fuel I had to pay for? The wear and tear on my vehicle and nearly 2 hours of lost time when already on a schedule? Unfortunately there are sometimes limited or no alternatives to using UHaul and it seems UHaul takes advantage of that at the expense of the customer. Although I would like to never use UHaul again, another scenario may come up when UHaul is the only option and I will likely be at their mercy once again.

Our first pick up was originally 707 Memorial Ave, In Thunder Bay. The lady who was working their got our dates & time mixed up. Such a stressful situation. The 707 Memorial Ave, UHAUL, could not accommodate us because there was another booking. Our booking was supposed to be Aug 28th - Aug 30th. Go to pick it up, the reservation was for Aug 28th 2023, 2pm to 9pm. We live 3 hours away from Thunder Bay. We had to pick up the Uhaul in Thunder Bay, bring to Longlac. Pack it up & drop off back at the same spot. As you can imagine, finding out news, the uhaul that was booked was for only for 7 hours was unreal. My fiancé and I tried to keep our cool but we had a 4 bedroom place to pack before September 1st. Thank you to R Agostino & Sons & customer care for serving us in our time in need. It made moving 3 hours away from our home town alot easier unlike the uhaul on 707 memorial Ave in Thunder Bay. Please, take this comment seriously. If the second place did not have a uhaul a family of 5 would of be stressed. Immigrate Canadians need to make sure, they understand the born/raised Canadians. Miigwetch.

I can during business hours and nobody was even there to help me with the drop off process. Would’ve gone somewhere else had I known nobody was going to be there when I dropped off. To improve for the next customer I would make sure there is actually staff at the location during business hours

Uhual is extremely un organized. My "guaranteed" reservation for 9am in geraldton was not guaranteed as I drove 4 hours out of my way to get it and the guy wasn't there to help me. At least they got their shit together and found me someone competent in thunder bay. Last time I'll ever use U-Haul. No compensation for the gas or time that I wasted going to geraldton. If it says guaranteed reservation don't believe them. U haul is trash

Have an accurate inventory on line. Both pick up and drop off locations were convenient and staff helpful. I have used uhaul several times in the last year and my only issue ever is lack of knowing what is actually available on the day I need it.

We were very disappointed that we reserved a 26 foot trailer only to be told 2 days prior to pick up there were none available. We ended up with a 20 foot trailer which meant we needed to make other arrangements for additional equipment (extra trailer) For this reason we would be reluctant to use U-Haul again

I believe that a full tank supplied at pick up would make it easier to fill it to the same level upon return. Great ramp and vehicle for an in town move. The online completion of the state of the vehicle is awesome and being able to upload photos to confirm works very well.

The only problem was with the UHaul.com site. I could not determine which of the many locations in Thunder Bay actually had the trailer I was looking for! Eventually, I had to drive around by over five sites before finding one that had it. The website should provide this service.

I had to drive 5 hours to pick up the truck. The Shady fools at the u haul pick up site, kept us another 3.5 hours fiddling ineptly with their broken down messed up ancient computer that neither owner knew how to use. They had not retrieved the vehicle transport I rented, & so we had to drive another 40 mins to retrieve it ourselves. They tried to over charge us, pocketing the extra money themselves, we suspected. As a result of these people, neither I nor my friends who went w me, nor the neighbors & friends we shared our u haul experience with, will EVER use U Haul for our moving experiences again. 100% pathetic and crooked.
