The back tires were very bald. For the first 2 hours after I picked up the moving van, I was stuck in the mud.

Shamy was excellent. I would recommend this location to my business partner, colleague, friend or family. He is always kind and EXTREMELY efficient. I’ve used him for both long distance and daily use. He is a rare find in today’s business environment!
Stephen RWhen picking up trailer, I asked if I could move the return location to Redding, instead of Red Bluff. I was told no, as someone had rented the trailer in Red Bluff. Okay....see below
Jim BIt was fast and easy to pick up the trailer, but felt bad for the man helping us as he needed at least one other person to cover the gas customers while he was helping us.
Alexander RReward Mr. Shanay with a reward for superb service/ He is the best!

Masami HSoquel Valero U-haul consistently provides excellent, efficient and friendly service. It’s my go-to for my hauling needs in the Santa Cruz area.
David KExcellent customer service!
Jeff Gthe store employee was very rude and unwelcoming.
Arya MThe owner was very helpful. He greeted me as soon as I pulled in. He moved a truck and asked me to back in next to it. He guided me in, took the trailer off my hitch. I really appreciated that. Would highly recommend his location.

Margaret GGreat customer Service!! Best U-Haul and rental experience I’ve ever had !!
Jack FGood service until after dropped off trailer. A week latter I’m charged 280 for a late charge when I turned it in 2 days earlier. I’m expecting to talk to the 4th person from U-Haul to find out why this charge took place. Extremely disappointed. Too many people to tell same story. Please HELP!!!
Randall BThis is an extremely well run facility. Owner/operator is very helpful and has pleasant disposition. I believe he enjoys what he is doing. And he is very good at it. I will certainly use U-Haul, and at this location again.
Eric JI have recommended this location to many friends. I have used all their products from box trucks to pick-ups. My favorite rental being a large Siverado. Loved it! Fast check-in and check-out, it is conveniently located off Highway 1 in Capitola. Great service with easy fueling fill-up at drop off.
ROBIN MI have been a loyal customer to this location and have many issues. I had continued to use this location just because of the location. The owner is purposely charging me for the insurance even after I have a waved it when booking via the app as well I’m personally verbally. This has happened on more than one booking. I’m addition, he is dishonest about the gas level. This booking, I returned the truck with less than half gas level, the same as when I got it, and my receipt says it’s 3/4 full. This is also not the first time this has occurred. In another incident, he lied and told my friend that we needed to put more gas in the truck upon return. When my friend disputed the gas discrepancy and presented him with a picture of the gas gauge when first checking out, he was aggressively yelled at and told to never come back. The trucks are rarely swept and and I have been charged for a dirty truck even after I’ve swept it out. This person is dishonest and a poor representative of your company. I will not be using his business again for me personally or for my business.

ROBERT Wstarting fuel level was quite low...the low fuel warning light came on only 6 miles after starting. not knowing exactly how far I'd be traveling (and how much fuel I'd need) made buying gas tricky; with more gas in the tank I could have waited until ready to return.. I recommend starting rentals with (at least) a half tank.
jan jThis place is great 👍🏼 but this time wasn’t soo good my last rental had a lot ! Of dog hair and a couple fleas! Not what we wanted I my self had to clean and disinfect everything
Jesus FI just wanted to say that renting this van was so easy. I picked it up and off I went. It was the perfect size and everything. Only thing folks need to be aware about if backing up. If there things within a certain amount of feet, the emergency brake keeps going automatically. I get the prevention of hitting things while backing up but that was a little ridiculous. That was the only weird thing. If you need UHaul to rent something, please visit this location. Friendly and really easy. Thanks.
Joe ZAlways a pleasure renting from this location!
Chris KNeeded to change to a different truck in the middle of my move, and they did so quickly with no extra charge. Lots of different trucks available at a convenient location.
Allen SThe service man took 30 min to service my rental. He went out and in 4 times to find the trailer with some kind of matching numbers. Finally he said it was done and the trailer is outsite, then asked me to step aside so he can help other. He did not hook up the trailer. I asked him and he wanted me to pay him for hook up. I drove 40 miles to rent this one way rental. I really needed it in time and had to hook up myself. He came out said that was a wrong trailer. I removed and hooked up another one by pulling it 30 feet away with right angle turn. He came out again and took pictures. How come this location does not provide hook up? I had never hook up the trailer and scared dead by hook up by myself with little help from my wife. It was a terrible renting experience on that day.
Timothy LThe owner of the franchise was genuinely concerned about the upkeep of the franchise and the care of the rental equipment.
Larry GMore clarity about the price and vehicle I was renting. The cashier just asked for my card and charged it. Didn't explain the cost or any details. There was nobody else in the store either so it's not like it was busy.
TABITHA GNo improvements needed!

Margaret BVery helpful staff who work hard to get your reservation completed as quickly as possible.
Gary MThey haven't a clue how to handle customers. Long, needless waiting.
Allen Cthe store was rundown and had a bad smell in it. ...
bryan rSuper friendly and helpful! I Would just like if the trucks had gas and not completely empty
Jesus FThe people that own this location are so helpful and nice. A+++
Jason HGreat customer service!
Bruce PBetter signage since it is also a gas station.
Susan PLocation was convenient. It is a gas station so no high expectations. One clerk did not really want to attend to the U-Haul stuff. Unloaded by myself. No paperwork check made me nervous about late fees even though it was the night before it was due.
Steve MVery friendly and ready for any question. Thanks for your support!
Michael LI wish they would clean the inside so the seats and steering wheel is not so sticky or smells like feet
Jesus FThe owner is very responsive and worked extra hard to help me redeem a VIP coupon. I will used this UHaul location in the future and recommend to neighbors. Thanks!!
Susan CBetter lighting is needed.
James CThe owner is very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this location.
sean cGreat customer service!
Diane FThe owner was very helpful.
sean cThe truck was nearly new and in great condition. The location manager worked with me for early pickup when the online process only allowed for 8AM pickup. This allowed me to get to work faster and accomplish my work in a timely manner.
Bradley Athe person who assisted me is very respectful and efficient
Ramiro HThe ending mileage was entered incorrectly, resulting in an overage fee. I worked with the owner to correct the error and remove the fee.
