my reservation #77979740 I am a regular customer and was really upset with the service I received at the equipment return. At equipment pickup, I received half a tank of gas, and when I returned, I brought back the same half tank as I received. I was charged $5 for gas. I talked to the person at equipment return, he very rudely replied, I am not charging; it is auto-charged by the system. I asked for the manager, and he replied, Come back tomorrow if you want to talk to the manager. Very rude service I will never come back or recommend this location to anyone.

wanda C | Overall ExperienceGreat staff
FREDERICK N | First ImpressionsGreat Staff
FREDERICK N | First ImpressionsTHANK YOU SO VERY MUCH IT WAS MY PLEASURE
BRENDAJOY B | Overall ExperienceStop raising rent within less than a year. Not cool, or fair.
Rodney R | Overall ExperienceOne of the managers was very rude. I tried to use a Dolly and he refused to give it to me whilst I. Am paying for the storage unit.
John T | Overall ExperienceThe roll-up door did work when he rolled it up the first day. We've been there twice and neither time would it go up more than about 5 feet.
Sharon P | First ImpressionsNeeds a fence and gate, so customers can come at our times of convenience. The business should also step up its call on Prince William County Police and keep the migrants from collecting around establishment.
Mark H | Overall ExperienceNot sure if the staff really completed customer service training. They are generally rude, impatient, disrespectful, and dismissive. Moving is a very intense process and by far they do nothing to help in making sure we the customers are appreciated for our business.
Halah G | Overall Experienceprice way too high compared to other companies for long term use
KEITHEDWARD H | Overall ExperienceThanks to Cody everything went smoothly and fully successful. The storage unit was smaller than I thought but Cody was so helpful and saved the day. The entire experience was OUTSTANDING. THANKS AGAIN! I look forward to working with you in the future.
Karen M | Online Move InThere's an additional fee for 24hr access. The place is constantly overrun with vehicles blocking access to units. I have to call and give 24hr notice to get into my unit that I was charged $285/mo for. The staff was generally helpful, more phone calls went to the national call center than the actual employees at the location. The barrage of people seeking under the table employment on the premises, is unsafe. They run up to vehicles and stand in the driving lanes.
William S | Overall ExperienceGreat and clean
Hernan L | Overall ExperienceEverything went well. The employee that was there was very helpful. The only slightly annoying thing was that the drive-up area to the storage unit was very narrow and a little difficult to back up into since there were so many other Uhaul trucks parked in the loading area.
VICTORIA D | Online Move InIt was close to highway so Noisy and outside people were soliciting as dsy laborersz
BARBARALYNN P | Overall ExperienceI received a storage 12 hours before, when I get to the office she said we don’t have any available storage for you also I explain to her she won’t answer me. After 30 minutes a young man helped me out and found the storage for me and I stored my stuff.
TAMIM S | First ImpressionsThe facility is very tight to maneuver a large vehicle. Vehicles line the walls and the perimeter of the building. Great helpful staff. It's nice to see third party ppl wanting to help unload your truck, but very uninviting when they chase your vehicle or are standing in the middle of the street as you try to drive.
William S | First ImpressionsYour staff does an amazing job considering all the challenges that they deal with on a daily basis. I left your storage because of all the day workers that continued to harass and block my progress. On several trips to my unit, I was actually followed to my unit.
John P | Overall ExperienceEverything was smooth and easy. 5 Stars!!!
Reuben A | First ImpressionsNo matter what, Cody the Manager there, ALWAYS worked with me. Even when I was in the store, and hearing the reps call him with issues,…..he’s something else, and his management is definitely one of the reasons UHAUL is a household name.
Robert D | Overall ExperienceThe reason for the above average reading, is due to how the Woodbridge Virginia staff handled my accounts and assisted me with my storage unit. They were very helpful and professional, the whole way as far as Baltimore, where I picked up my moving truck, unprofessional by all means, and the only reason why I closed my account and moved my items to a new storage was because it was cheaper, by at least $100 even, maybe considering lowering the prices on your storage units and you may have more storage users.
Charmaigne H | Overall ExperienceIf you open the storage someone has the option to hop into another storage from the inside of a storage. I had a collection of quarters that I left in my storage unit and they are now missing. I feel like they have been stolen.
Gabriel G | Overall ExperienceCustomer service was very bad and rude except for the store manager. I always had issues getting to my storage unit and always had an issue trying to get someone to move the uhaul trucks from my unit.
Porsha F | Overall Experiencecanceled truck and storage unit. will try again using U-haul again.
Charles D | First ImpressionsGreat friendly service. Very helpful
DENISE M | First ImpressionsMichael was helpful and showed me the storage unit during early check in which was prior to the start date of my storage reservation. He also walked me to the unit that was close and easy to get to, including how the lock worked. Erica was very professional and cheerful when she checked me during the day of move in and provided helpful details about the storage rental process.
Joanne T | First ImpressionsThe girl with the blonde short hair was so nice
FATOUNDEYE N | First ImpressionsThe employee was not having à great Day
Leslie G | Overall ExperienceThe staff there is very nice, they all should get a big raise like 20 percent.
PEGGY R | First ImpressionsAll is excellent except the numerous men asking if my daughter and I needed help. Although there is a no trespass at the U-HAUL site, the men continue to ask if we needed help. Is there anyway to keep them at least 100 ft from the property? Other than that, all is great with U-Haul! A. Flores
Adelene F | Overall ExperienceEverything was great. Did not feel safe due to the lack of lighting inside the storage unit.
Adelene F | First ImpressionsAll was great; however, if the rate had remained the same, I would still be storing property at the Potomac mill U-Haul, but I understand its business, not loyalty to the Customers. Overall, above-average experience; thank you!
Jeffrey S | Overall ExperienceNo lights in the hallway where our unit was located; dead mouse in the unit; difficult to access unit due to trucks parking nearby; day laborers walking around the facility made it feel unsafe. Would not use this facility again.
Mary D | Overall ExperienceListen the staff was very friendly, but it took 45 minutes for this guy to set me up with a unit. I told him i had a free reservation he didn't listen and had to start over. Finally we went out to look for the unit and I knew where the unit was before him but again he didn't listen. Then when i got my unit open there were spider and cobwebs EVERYWHERE..i literally had to wipe it all away with my own broom. Oh not to mention when i got the first unit, and its now dark by the way, I've gotten a quarter of my stuff in the unit already and he comes back out to tell me he gave me the wrong unit.. the experience was trash and made my day last longer than i needed which wasn't cool because I had missed something important due to the nonsense i dealt with at Uhaul. What should have been a 30 min experience turned into almost 2 hours and mind you, i had a 10 foot truck of stuff going into a 5' 10' 5' and again I've been in the moving industry so it didnt take more than 15 or 20 minutes to unload my truck and stack it in the unit.
Terence B | First ImpressionsYesterday my service was amazing and the ladies that helped me went above and beyond making sure everything was great for me and that I had all documents. Thanks ladies I appreciate your service
Latoya F | Overall ExperienceI was charged for gas when I put gas back in the truck I put over 400 dollars in this truck and after returning to see they charged an additional 55 dollars on my credit card
Latoya F | First ImpressionsI don’t normally write reviews but I had to because the women at this job were phenomenal. I’m going through a hard time right now and they didn’t just make me feel like a customer but something more and put a smile on my face when I didn’t feel like I had any reasons to smile. These women were a blessing to me! These are the type of employees you want to treat right and keep at the company. If the ladies happen to see this thank you so much for being so kind!
CHALINASHIANNE J | First ImpressionsMy reservation in North Carolina was scheduled @ 7am the pl wasn’t open I didn’t get to be dolly and when I got to va uhaul the young man was rude he has terrible service I had the worst experience ever
chanel s | First ImpressionsVery handy. First month free clinched the deal for me.
Muhammad J | Overall ExperienceMelva was an absolute dream to work with. She was so friendly and great at her job. Moving is stressful and tiring on its own and Melva was a shining star in the process.
Tasia B | First ImpressionsVery friendly staff, super helpful. Paperwork was smooth, no issues.
Muhammad J | First ImpressionsEverything was great wouldn’t change a thing
Parker M | First ImpressionsThanks!!!
SONJA N | Overall ExperienceBeyond exellent service in the store. All employees are courteous
PAULY-YOUNGAIRLE D | Overall ExperienceThe staff was great however the layout of the the facility made it difficult to access my unit with anything besides a small car. I chose this place because it was advertised as 24/7 but more often than not there were rental trucks blocking the through way. However, to the benefit of this location this seems endemic to all uhauls. Therefore for future storage needs i will be renting from a non-uhaul location
sean h | Overall ExperienceThe manager on 19 August was very good and worth investing in.
Eric V | Overall ExperienceFirst, we would not have chosen this location, but our options were limited due to the size of truck we were returning (26’). We called on Friday 8/13 to speak with an agent about securing a storage unit, but she stated she did not know if there was availability and did not know how to check if there was availability. She took my name and phone number and said he manager would call back with info. We never got the follow up communication. So I called back Saturday 8/14 to inquire again, and Brandon was helpful and confirmed a 10’x10’ unit for us to start Sunday 8/15. We arrived Sunday 8/15 and waited a while to be helped. A young lady with long curly hair and freckles led me up to help me, and took a 5 minute phone call in the middle of helping me. She didn’t seem to have a thorough understanding of the system and how to get me into my unit quickly. Finally she gave us an access card and the unit number. When we drove around to the unit, it was in use but closed to the owner for nonpayment. So we go back inside to get another unit. A young, thin gentlemen with braces helped assign us to another unit, which was going to be larger and more expensive since there were no other 10’x10’ available. I hen we went over to that unit, it was also in use and closed to the owner for nonpayment. He came around to the unit to meet us and completely shared our frustrations because there were no other available units of any size. He stated his frustration with the assistant manager who is responsible for not letting their system show availability for these types of units. (Sorry for the descriptions, no one on site wore a name tag). We quickly called a Public Storage down the street where a fast, friendly, professional associate got us a unit immediately. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to secure our belongings same day with ZERO HASSLE! The experiences between the two companies was night and day. I am also aware that the manager of this location passed away recently, which we were sorry to hear. I have no doubt the team we encountered was working hard to do the beat they could, given the circumstances. As a customer, i just want to relay that they need more support and assistance right now. Your corporate leaders would not be happy with how this location is currently operating.
Holly S | First ImpressionsMy wife and I were moving to a new house in the area, and we needed to put our property in storage. We were stressed out enough. However, store manager Dana Russell showed tremendous customer service in helping us get set up with the storage we needed. I am grateful to her for alleviating a stressful situation we were in.
Jonathan P | Overall ExperienceEfforts of Store manager Dana Russell were huge boost and took a lot of stress off us with moving experience for my wife and I.
