I haven’t been treated this well in a long time. I was nervous taking on a trailer, especially after calling the national u-haul call center. I was told I would have to do the hookup myself. I was worried about safety. However, the man in charge at Marginal Way in Portland, Maine took such ownership making sure my trailer was hooked to my car with care and accuracy. I couldn’t believe how exceptional this guy was. I still talk about how good my experience was, especially in light of the typical attitude in Portland, Maine which is “I will pay attention to you at my convenience”. This guy was all about the customer. I hope he is treated well in the future.

Update to my previous comment: opened the box at home; part number on the box was correct, but the wrong hitch was enclosed! Called store, will return hitch tomorrow, but they don't have the correct one in stock, will order, but it means yet another drive to store once it arrives! Pretty disappointing all around!

There is only one person working the front counter, IF they're not out back. Waiting 15 to 20 minutes in the store , to pick up keys is ridiculous! When I brought the key back, "Jordan V" took my key. I was the 6th person in line and was there for ten minutes, before he did so. The employee being the counter was still working with the same customer as when I walked in. When I received my receipt online later that night 4/13/24, Jordan had put in the computer, that I didn't bring the truck back until 4:59, so he charged me for an extra day!!! I have my gas receipt from the Big Apple (2 minutes from U-Haul), that's time stamped at 11:29!!

Could you make the app work? The app wouldn't allow me to check out after hours, which cost me money because I had to pay for an associate to check out the truck. The app is supposedly designed to assist with this, but it failed to geolocate my location.

My appointment was for 8:00am. Dropped my car off lastnight @ 6:15pm 4/12. Heard absolutely nothing from uhaul regarding my car,until the service was completed at 2:56pm. Was told leading up to the appointment by a uhaul tech that my car should have been done by 12:00 noon. I had to frantically reach out to multiple friends to find someone available to bring me to pickup my car when it was finished. I live in Westbrook and could not walk to Uhaul with my back problems. This is my first frustrating experience at this uhaul location. In the past I have always been contacted regarding any information/updates available for my services being performed.

I have a complaint about Tom at the marginal Way location in Portland, Maine. Tom is a piece of shit. He treated me poorly. He was belittling, rude and he has no customer service. check your cameras on 3/30/ 2024 around noon time. He should not be working with the public. Thank you

They were disorganized and did not seem to know what was going on, and where their rental trucks were. The mileage on the truck was not what they said it was. I had only used the truck 20 miles and they said they would take care of it the mileage difference. When I got the receipt for payment they charged me over 100 miles which was $116. The cost was supposed to be about $41.

There was zero guidance, The best i got was your truck is outside in bay n I was never told how to return the vehicle. When I had to extend the contract thru said fill out the online return form. I asked to have that form mailed to me, and what I got was a survey if how they did. It cost me extra money to have the professional evaluate the return

The installation went OK. It seems like the installer did a good job. However, scheduling is a nightmare. In the phone menu, selecting hitch installation, just takes you back to the main menu. I called several times, and ended up picking another option besides hitches. You always get transferred to corporate scheduling office and twice I got scheduled for times that weren't available. Once I drove almost an hour to an appointment in a different location, only to be told "we don't do hitches on Sundays". This time, I had an afternoon appointment on Monday. I got a call from the installer in the morning telling me that he doesn't work Monday afternoons. I had to reschedule again. Today (Saturday - busy day at UHaul), I had to wait in line for 20 minutes to check in. At least I got the hitch installed today.

Truck was only 1 quarter full of fuel when I picked it up and the team did not explain that I needed to complete a check in on the phone before I left. I came back that afternoon to inquire about the quarter tank and the cashier said there was nothing she could do if the link expired. Then I went to pick up my auto transport and the truck's electrical port was not working with the trailer lights so I couldn't pull my car. The trailer attendant asked if I had time to unload the 26 foot truck into another truck instead of offering to get movers to do that for us. I also paid for movers through u haul to get the truck loaded initially

The entire time I had my storage unit there were multiple trucks parked directly in front of my unit’s door requiring me to shimmy through between 2 trucks or completely around a line. When I brought it up to the office I was told that there was nothing to be done , but assured that by the summer it would be cleared up. That was this past summer and it never was. That made it pretty difficult to add or remove any items from the unit. One time I went to my unit , opened it and saw puddles of dirty water inside. Went to the office and was told “ oh yeah that’s how we clean. They use blowers and stuff gets in” I’m only now after moving out able to see the extent of the issues. When I cleaned out my storage unit two days before my last bill was due and went back to the office to let them know I was told everything should be all set. And then I just got charged for another month! Worst U-Haul experience I’ve ever had. And I am still waiting for my last ( current months refund)

On Thursday the 29th of Feb. the gentleman behind te counter was curt, a bit rude, and had no time or inclination to explain to me why I HAD to have the truck back by 9:30 am. I was traveling a long distance and was worried I would not make the 9:30 deadline. I asked him if I got back an hour late would I be charged for another day. He said "absolutely". I tried to explain my concerns and he would not listen to me. Even though I rent a storge unit from u-haul, next time I need a truck I will be taking the time to get one from another company.

App is very buggy when trying to return after hours. Kept resetting on the "submit condition photos" step, which makes for a pretty frustrating customer experience, especially when the same page on the app says "you will be charged $20 if you do not complete this and an agent has to check the equipment in the next day".

Know where your vehicles are located, when you tell a customer to look in a certain area for that particular vehaicle, make sure it's there. I spent over 15 minutes looking for a vehicle that was 50 yards away from where I was told to look. Was not pleased when I had to walk back in and ask again.

We were told that if we rented a one way truck we would have a free storage unit for a month.When I dropped off the truck the agent was rude and said I had to pay $150.! Since I lived far away and had no other options I had to pay. I would like who ever reads this to investigate this matter. Your company shouldn't promise a storage unit free and then when we get there thats not case. The unit was very clean and spacious but that doesn't make up for the fact your agent was extremely rude, refused to look into the matter and kept pushing payment for the unit. I feel you have good company but this false advertising has made up my mind never to use you again. You must remember you have other competition out there. Thank you for your time

Staff was generally pretty hostile and unhelpful, signage for hours that the actual bay doors open up for easier load in access is inaccurate. Had to rent a second unit last second, because the misleading description of the initial unit I rented. Supposedly I have a refund pending, since I never opened the unit that was 5' off the ground, but we'll see. The facility itself is maintained well enough, but I wouldn't recommend renting from a place where some lady yells at or insults her coworkers over the radio (whoever was working evening of 10/30), and the big bearded fella that smells like a wet ashtray just ignores questions and talks over you (morning of 10/31). I'm in a tight spot, so opted to just keep my unit. But given any other reasonable option that time of night, I would have much rather dipped and rented elsewhere.

You should have some kind of discounted funds if you are getting a storage after part of the month is gone. Also some kind of refund for unused portions of the month. I paied full price for one month and checked in on thr 12th and out on the 23rd less than half a month

The phone system is terrible. Sometimes I want to speak to someone at a specific location and it's close to impossible with the system being used to do that. It's not a question of waiting on the customer's side. U haul phone system makes it impossible to wait for someone at the facility they call to speak to them. Any call-back service is to a customer service representative not at the facility. People are sick and tired of these forms of innovation that deny person-to-person contact

It would be helpful if the door to the storage units was more accessible - you couldn’t get very close to unload. Also, I wasn’t aware the unit I rented required a ladder to access. Luckily, I am able bodied and made it work but if I struggled with lifting or climbing, this would have been impossible.

The person who helped me at the store was fine, very nice in fact. However, I had reserved a room 10 x 10 and when I arrived one was not available. They had no rooms of the appropriate size, So I had to settle for a smaller room. This is no way to treat customers.

Tom, the manager at the Portland facility, was not customer-friendly, blunt, and off-putting when simply asked typical questions. However, another younger employee, male, who had helped me earlier in the year, went beyond the call of duty, helping back my large 26' truck into the bay for me, and answered any questions with grace and accuracy. Once I returned the truck to the Augusta facility in Maine, the customer service was so good that I mentioned my experience with Tom in Portland. Both of them had stories to tell about his approach to customers and fellow employees, none of it complimentary. My only reason for bringing this up is that folks moving are already under stress. The more U-Haul employees can ease that stress level, the better. As one who has worked in customer service my entire career, good customer service reaps rewards on down the line.

Often times there were U-Haul trucks parked in front of the unit making it difficult to access. When you make the reservation it’s advertised as 24hour access then when you get the confirmation you are informed access is only until 10pm. In reality, if you have a drive up unit you may access it 24hours(or I did several times) even though they tell you you can not. They should refine their communication with accurate information. Also I moved out the week before my billing date and was still charged so now I have to track down a refund. Even though I called to make sure I wouldn’t be billed I still was. Not at all convenient. Other than that everything was ok.

Seemed professional enough, but insisted I use one of their locks. When I went to empty my facility after a few very cold days, my lock would not open. Their solution was a can of de-icer and a stubborn Russian. After an hour of trying to pry the lock, with little results, the Russian finally conceded that a torch or grinder was in order. Once he left, I was able to pry the lock enough to get access. Once Russian guy returned, noted he only had a screwdriver. No torch. No grinder. We already had a screwdriver. Thank god I got the lock to budge.

I wasn’t informed that the storage unit was on the second floor. Access to one of the units was significantly restricted to to it being in a very narrow corridor. This prohibited the full use of the space of that storage unit. We were unable to navigate the corridor and place furniture in the unit. We ended up having to rent a second unit. Multiple people were clearly living in units. The area reeked of stale cigarette smoke,astray and mold. The place literally look like a garbage dump.. Literally experienced a significant release for stress checking out of the units. I will never use the storage facilities again

Not being able to talk directly to MY storage place but having to go through a call center was HORRIBLE... they never delivered the messages to my storage place so I never got call backs. I hate going through a call center- this needs to change or my storage place needs to answer their phones so it doesn't automatically go to the call center. I called at least 25+ times through the days and NEVER EVER got a person at my storage place, it always went to the call center. BAD BAD BAD.

The customer service was fine and the unit is fairly clean. My only complaint is that there is a set of stairs leading to the 2nd floor storage units with no elevator, which is not super convenient.

Move out pictures taken on the 25th, unit returned just like any truck rental.

Staff wasn't very helpful in taking the auto transport off and even offered to help me take the car down only if I have him $20. Our reservation for the storage unit done online wasn't showing up in the system and so we had to book again online while there. There were no units of the original size we had gotten so we ended up with a smaller one and we barely were able to cram everything in it.

Arriving at the facility by car on Marginal Way and Just passing Cove St. I completely missed the entrance. Google maps had me come around the building go back up Co Street, I drove in the drive-up storage area and proceeded to find my way to customer parking. Upon reaching the front desk, Tristan explained that that was not in his normal position and tried to assist me the best he could. I told him I rented a locker online and needed to be shown where the locker was. He was not trained on the web self Storage. In hindsight he should have also asked me for my ID to verify who I was. I recall that I did get the code on the U-Haul app and sign up process and brought up the information on my phone. Tristan asked to see the code. He than showed me around the building to the indoor storage units. He showed me two keypads one to disarm my unit the other to enter the facility. He proceeded to answer all my questions with knowledge and was very helpful. Tristan explained that this location was temporary housing the vehicle repair as a new repair facility construction is ongoing. Tristan deserves recognition for being able to handle a position outside his own and providing me a good experience.

Becky Coleman and the gentleman who closed out my account were very helpful and professional. Otherwise, everything about the UHaul experience I disliked — from the antiquated and frustrating way I would get charged a late fee despite you having my credit card on file, to the multiple times I showed up and my unit was locked by you despite my bill being paid in full every month. (Again, you had my credit card that has never expired or stopped working.) Your rates went up constantly, and half the time the trucks were parked in front of my garage in a way that made it impossible to access in off hours. Never, ever again.

Your front desk staff was so bad I was there crying last night at 7p trying to move my items into storage. She was confused, explained things incorrectly, and left out pertinent information like the loading bay closes at 5....not 10. I had to go back to the office a total of 5 times for various reasons because she was so so bad. She said the key card was activated, it was not, she lost my account and couldn't find me again somehow, she said there would be a lock in the unit and had me put away the one I was purchasing....there was no lock. Just all around awful experience, would never recommend.

Would have been happier if they got my name correct the first, second, or third time I went in. Had to wait for them to show me how wrong they had my name in the computer and they also input my email incorrect at one point so I wasn’t receiving any notifications. And finally I payed late by accident one month and they didn’t take the lock off for 5 days for some reason. The facility is great but the employees need some training

Understaffed, and I called 3 times and waited on hold 20 minutes and when I got through was told I didn’t have a unit waiting even though I had confirmation and a reservation number from my online order. When I arrived I was given a unit that had a lock on it. The manager walked out to the unit with me and removed the uhaul lock. She was very helpful. It took 45 minutes to get it all worked out and I had movers waiting and getting paid to wait. The man who took back the truck, Griorgi? Was super friendly and quick.

The store manager, Ryan, could not have been nicer. We had a bad UHaul truck rental experience in Massachusetts, and the storage experience in Maine was the antithesis of that. It was truly exceptional even though our larger space had gone to someone online, I walked out not feeling bad about it. A+++ UHaul!! The whole staff at this facility is nice!

We were told a storage unit was included with our truck rental. When we arrived no unit was reserved. We got that straightened out and then told we had to buy a round lock. We did. Then in the storage unit was a new round lock. So we moved our stuff in and went to get a refund on the purchased lock. We were told that the lock was necessary and no refund would be given. If we had gone to the storage unit first we would have had a free lock. After going round and round we asked for the manager who refunded our lock purchase. Bad communication and somewhat rude and non understanding staff

Glenn and Ryan really rocked. There were so many customers and returns they were juggling on Mother's day, but they got to everyone and solved all the problems. They helped us get to Saco for a better fit, because this location doesnt have freight elevators for the second floor which was just something we couldn't do. They were kind and courteous even under so much stress! A+++++++ for them

The practice of separate bills for each unit when I had two units led to double very high late fees. I went online and put the payment on auto, then received a few days later a letter telling me that if I put the payment on auto The late fees would be refunded. They were not refunded and I got another late fee the next month for one unit which is when I found out that each unit was charged separately. I went in and explained and the single late fee was refunded, but I was told that it was to late to refund the first two.

We didn't access our storage space much at all, but when we needed to get in we were able to do so and the staff was helpful when we couldn't get our key card to work. We will definitely consider using u-haul again and will recommend to anyone looking for storage in Portland.

RYAN IS A HOME RUN GUY. Unfortunately you have an IDIOT AT YOUR BRUNSWICK OFFICE who wanted to charge a drop-off fee twice the rental fee for a defective trailer rental where the hitch detached while on I295. Only because of my experience driving trucks was I able to prevent what could easily have become a catastrophic accident. And the fellow who rented and hooked up the trailer in S. Portland needs serious training in properly securing the chains. You need guys like RYAN on the job and the schmuck in Brunswick needs to find a job washing dishes. If anybody up the food chain wishes to discuss further, call me. 239-293-8180

I want to take a moment to praise one of your employees at the Marginal Way location in Portland, Maine. Ryan Lent waited on me several times over the past month when I was there for vehicle rentals and returns, and purchasing moving supplies. Ryan was also there on the day I moved my belongings into the storage unit. Ryan walked me to the unit, assisted with the lock, explained the process. He was very patient, professional, and helpful to me. I am very grateful for the services available at your location, and will be happy to refer friends and family. Diane

The units were not clean when I took possesion and by design are not well sealed from environmental polution, risk of contamination from adjacent units.

And if you complain about their crappy service they wnd up taking more of your benefits away but keep charging you the same rate. Multiple complaints to corporate with ZERO resolution. They you feel like your doing something wrong for using the storage unit THAT YOU PAY for. Place is absolute joke!!! I went right down the road to a competitor with NO hesitation.

You need more staff, more parking, more and easier access to interior storage with more bays and more carts, MORE DIRECT ACCESS TO TRAINED AND INFORMED PHONE/COUNTER STAFF. Hire cheap get cheap. Usually young. IMPORTANT: I talked to 2 employees on the call-center line and neither had accurate or satisfactory information both of which was vital and time-sensitive. Third individual had the right info and assurances. I fell on ice on street where I was forced to park because the U-Haul lot was full of trucks and vans on a slow Sunday morning. You charge for EVERYTHING connected to your business. The least you can do is to provide a commensurate service. Doing otherwise labels you as arrogant because you are the "only game in town". Your attitude is "take it or leave it". Have heard it more than once. Now I know first-hand.
