Had a bad experience at my usual place and was sent here. Sears of Newport/ Crazy Ed's is a great place.

First, the trailer worked well. I could not tell how well the brakes were working since I do not know how much "assist" that they are supposed to offer when towing a light little mini truck. I could not put a "yes" for clean and maintained because it was very salty, but it may or may not have been maintained well. It worked but obviously without taking things apart and checking the mechanics, I cannot truthfully say one way or the other. Now, this next thing I will mention is the issue with the return entry on the receipt to me. I returned it 5-15min. before 4PM on 1/25/25 and NOT the following day @ the time listed on the receipt. I rented it for 48 hrs. and used less than 24hrs. This should have been recorded instead of the lie on the receipt. One suggestion to Haul for policy sake would be to refund at least part of the price of the rental for the second day if it is received within the first 24hrs of use. I asked the gentleman who rented it to me about any discount for not using it the second day and he said Uhaul does not do that. The rental guy was nice as well as helpful as one would expect when renting a trailer. I just wish the real time were entered into the system of my return accurately so Uhaul corporate as well as legally, everyone would know when it was truly returned. Lastly, and maybe most importantly is I did not care for a cell phone being used to take a picture of my drivers license and then transferring it into the computer. A simple spot on the computerized form for my license # should suffice without taking down my picture and everything else. Now my info is on a cloud somewhere that can be hacked and is also on this person's phone. Uhaul should have something different with less violation of a persons info. After thinking about this, I am very upset by it. I do not use cell phones or online social outlets for a reason. I like my privacy and now have lost it. Not happy at all! No other positives or negatives to share at this point.
DARYLE DBill was great. We had an early pickup in -10 weather . He had the truck was clean , running and warmed up.

Rene BWe were charged $10 because we did not return truck with 1/2 tank of gas, but due to not having heat and it was 40degrees, we dropped truck off without driving out of our way to get gas.
WILLOW MReceived a cargo trailer that didn’t have a foot to take hitch off the ball
NEILA DPerfect!!
RUSSELL FSuper convenient, had no issues whatsoever! Very reasonably priced, will be using again in the future!
EGAN BMy rental was much better this time as I didn’t have to deal with the regional manager.last experience was horrible but they made up for it this time.hopefully in the future I will just have to deal with the people at this location and not the rude obnoxious regional guy again.
GRY DWindshield was very dirty, had to pull over and clean when the sun hit it so I could see while driving.
JUSTIN SThey were great!
SANDRA GBest place to rent a U-Haul.
WILLIA RTrailer rental, went great except right rear tire flat. Filler Held air during day of use. Enjoy the people at the location. A bit surprised no apology, no consideration , no thanks fro reporting the problem. I would not have reported it to you if any of the three had occurred. Maybe next time!
REED GGreat friendly service and good ratings as well as price if you need a moving job by all means rent UHAUL!!
NTHONY RNothing everything was great and really good people.
jeff mEd was extremely helpful and informative and made sure I understood everything about the truck and the equipment. I was renting highly recommend this facility couldn't say enough about a customer service that I received and how prompt the experience was five stars all around.
Anthony DExcellent service. Thank you
victora cThis location was not open when I arrived. Used the app to complete the drop off. Was easy to use. Was approached by another customer who was upset that the truck he rented had been double booked (the one I rented) and he had to take a larger one. So not sure if this is an issue with this location.
DONNA DGreat!
DAVID BClosed when dropped off so never spoke with anyone
Mitchell BApp seems largely unhelpful at the time you actually want to pick up the rental, so pickups always take way too long
Gunnar BAllow after hours pickup of trailers, (like you do for trucks).
John BNothing everything great
dale bEnded up costing way more than I had anticipated. Too pricey
Samantha BThe truck was left dirty for me. There were dings and scuffs that had no (quick claim) X stickers on them. I made a three minute video of the truck before driving away. The man who rented me the truck said not to worry because I had the good insurance. There was no way for me to upload my video to the Uhaul app. Uhaul should have a video camera system that automatically goes around the entire truck the same way the water spray equipment goes around your vehicle in a car wash. My shaky three minute video did not show all the dings and scuffs, I was noticing more as my three day rental went on. I was happy to only be charged for what was agreed upon. I guess that I will use Uhaul again but I will definitely look over the equipment more carefully.
Michael SPerhaps more employees
anthony vWould have been nice to understand that we needed to bring our own lock for 5x8 trailer. You would think with all the texts and emails there is a callout about what you might need?
allyson mFix your equipment so it doesn't break on people
Derek NGreat Service !!
LARRY PThis location was the best I've ever used. Bill was great from the beginning of the transaction to the end. Very personable and helped me to understand the process. I rented a cargo van for 7 days and had to extend it a couple of days after. That process was incredibly easy. I would highly recommend using this location. I definitely will the next time I need a cargo van!
CHERYL SBill of Newport U-haul is f------ AWESOME !!! BEST SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD AT A U-HAUL. And, at age 66,I've been to quite a few. ****************
Ronald SBest place to get a uhaul,newport nh
Ronald SGreat customer service at this location. But the uhaul application on the phone would not work and neither did the uhaul website when trying to return the vehicle.
Jamison MNone, the staff here was awesome!
Robert DFriendly staff and quick check in. The process of picking up the rental truck was smooth. The truck was clean, gas tank was full. Easy drop off! Thank you for making my day easier!
Erna SThere was a lot of issues but didn’t necessarily pertain to the locations themselves, the only thing I can suggest is to have more sizes of trucks readily available.
Dylan HI experienced a unique situation while renting a van, however, UHAUL's customer service was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of having been connected to Tia Williams and she was a godsend in my journey as well as Jeff the regional state manager, they very very informative and patient with me and my situation. I will only recommend and use UHAUL in any future need because they were very compassionate, patient, and professional throughout my journey.
Chante KQuick in and out. People at the location were very easy to work with very helpful. The U-Haul app also made it easier. I certainly would use them again.
Barry CFriendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
Thomas GVery little, property was maintained and trailer located in spot for easy access and hook-up. Manager was polite and helpful and made sure everything was in order before I left the premises.
Thomas GThe older gentleman that runs this place was fantastic. Great customer service very friendly and I highly recommend this location to anyone that needs to rent any U-Haul equipment
Ryan CYour staff member was excellent.
MICHAEL BExcellent service the people there were awesome
Carl KThe pick up location was good people there Wher nice.however the regional guy out of vt was horrendous.gilly gilcris has no people skills and is very standoffish.there was a slight problem on pickup due to a new employee that should not have been a big deal but he called texted and when I called back was horrible to deal with.the next morning I kept getting messages and calls from him but this time he was calling me Kevin and being rude had to call and explain I’m not Kevin please get your files right.once again location was great regional guy not so much.i won’t go here again while he’s around.
