Worker that was there when we pulled into drop off car hauler was very rude. All he said to us was "why would you park it there?". There were no signs as where to park the trailer, only parking spots. We moved it to another location where we found a similar trailer and did a self check out using the app. Glad we didn't have to check out with the guy that was there; someone pissed in his cherrios that Sunday and having to deal with him would've been a nightmare!

There's nothing you can do to improve it. The staff is wonderful and very helpful with hooking up the trailers and checking lights etc.

This store and the people here are great. The only issue I had was using the mobile check-in; this process saved little to no time at all and just created an annoyance while I waited to be "approved". This issue did not have anything to do with the store or the people, the mobile check-in is just not a very good experience.

They told me to “fill up the gas tank before I brought it back”. I put $20 in gas. The tank could not have possibly been full when I took the truck. I only drove 14 miles. When I returned it the guy said “tough, I’m not giving you any money back, you should’ve only put a couple gallons on it”. He didn’t even get up from his chair. Awful customer service. This is going to the Better Business Bureau for sure along with my word of mouth to never rent from Uhaul on Barlow. Terrible experience.

I rented a 5 x 8 trailer. Right side lights did not work, rear door was defective and kept sticking in the up position, trailer floor was covered with grease, cosmetically trailer look like it was 100 years old. The U-Haul representative that I dealt with at this location was rude and was a real joker. I brought the trailer back an hour or so shy and they charged me another full day despite all the problems that I had had. I will never use this location and probably will not use U-Haul ever again.

Jesse, the U-Haul attendant who helped me at both ends of my U-Haul rental was extremely nice and helpful. I was so happy to not have to endure the experience of using the U-Haul app (I have found it quite onerous on prior occasions), but to do the paper work in person and not have a prolonged wait. I highly recommend this location.

Fix your website. Don't book me a pickup location that is CLOSED. So irritated that I called to confirm and they couldn't even tell that location was closed. This survey doesn't ask the right questions. Likely so you don't get bad feedback.

The online check-in process failed big time, leaving me standing in the cold. Luckily a nice employee opened the store early and helped me. The online process was useless and when the guy at the store was helping me, another customer walked in with the exact same problem. Great employees, abysmal online service.

Me when I got there - "Hi sir, I'm out front and would like to know where you would like the trailer to be dropped off?" Him - "well, not out front". That's it, not a joke, not a drop of sarcasm - just a feeling like I'm bothering him by dropping off the trailer.
