When I arrived on 3/17/24 at 9:15 am. (well before my 12:30 drop off time) after sitting in the return lane for a few minutes, there were no other customers at this time, I got out of my van and went inside and saw 2 male workers behind the counter. I waited for one of them to ask if I needed help but they just sat there. I then just yelled out that I am returning a trailer they finally looked up & said ok just unhook it over there (waving a hand in a general direction) and you're good to go. Usually someone comes out to assist me but not this time. So after I unhooked the trailer from my van myself and started to push the trailer one of the workers comes out and said NO SIR the trailer needs to go over there. I am a 65 yr old man I was pissed that I had to do the work myself so I told them NO I was dropping it over where there was close EMPTY spot, as I was in a hurry and need to get back to the Sports Card Convention that I was set up at. So I pushed the trailer UP AN INCLINE AS THE YOUNG MAN JUST STOOD THERE AND WATCHED ME. Let me mention again that I am 65 years old and your employee did NOTHING to help me even though you pay him to do a job for your company. There have even been a few females that have come out to help get the trailer checked in and unhooked. I use U-Haul 3 times a year (March, June/July & November) for the last 20+ years to go to Chicago for theses shows and I have NEVER EVER had this kind of treatment from this drop off location.

Could not find truck and was taking trailer to MI for you. Truck and trailer should have all been ready to go. Lost lots of time. Wiper flew off drivers side in major rainstorm. Had to go to another location to change out truck and reattach trailer. 5 hour trip turned into 8 hours with issues and delays.

Truck suspension was bad, i brought it back after 1 mile of driving the truck, it also smelled like pee. Employee excuse that all the trucks are old. This truck had over 165000 miles and it felt like the wheel was going to come off. The truck also came in with a little bit under a half tank and that is exactly where I left it. I have a video I took I can send to you moments after taking the truck showing the issues and fuel level.

I had reservations and the day I went it was snowing, the guy gave a a different truck because he didn't want to move the other trucks in the way. Second I asked him to clean off the snow, I returned the truck before the time . And got charged for two days. I purchased mattresses bags that I didn't use, still got charged , they gave me no refund .I had a bad experience , I got charged tolls I never went on the expressway. I would not rent from U-Haul again .

I reserved a 26' box truck for rental ahead of time and requested mobile pick up. However when I got there to pick up my rental , the truck I had reserved and planned for was not available and I had to go with the size under. Isnt there a 50$ credit I can have for this? 🤔

I used the app this time rather than going into the desk. But the app was so clumsy and uncooperative I wound up having to go get help anyway. Nice try but it could use a lot of improvement.
