STEVEN A.No issues, everything was very good.
Keith K.Truck bed was covered in dust, we were charged almost double what the price was when I reserved the truck.
Sean N.The trucks were all clean but it took me 3x to finally get a working uhaul. My first truck leaked brake fluid and my second one had a check engine light 100 yards down the road.
DANIEL H.Smooth
Joseph C.The agent that helped me was very nice and customer focused. Nice job!
Nancy V.I was greeted by a young woman upon return and she was very courteous
THEODORE C.I think the location is good, the manager and employees are fine, but the tralers have been, now and in the past, faulty. This is the third time my displays and tables were wet. I do not think its the locations fault. I believe it's due to the poor construction of the trailer, and the upkeep of it in every location, or some locations! This time the damage was minimal, but in the past it has been extreme!
Michelle R.Cold bloody staffs
Mamai S. | Overall ExperienceBarely there employees. Your fuel policies are atrocious. Truck in rough shape.
Andrew S.The online check-in process is cumbersome and clunky. If you can, do all your reservations and payments in store.
Brett M.overall the service was great, staff both picking up the vehicle and the staff returning the vehicle were helpful. answered any and all questions. were not pushy.
Carlos C.friendly staff
ANDREW S.Systems froze trying to get checked out. Keys for our rental were missing. Took 35 minutes to get in and out. He was super nice and I don't blame him for it.
MICHAEL M.Great service, we were very pleased with the entire process
Jon Paul M.I've rented from this Uhaul many times over 4 decades. Everything went just as it always does however I have an issue and a comment I'd like to add. First, I picked up the truck with my card but paid in cash after I brought it back. This is day 2 and Uhaul still hasn't released the funds on my card yet. It's like I paid twice until you give me my $100 back. The one that cashed me out said that my money was released right away but it may take a day to get it back. It's day 2. I'd like it back now. Secondly, my $19.95 a day rental was almost $100.Uhaul upping the per mile charge is ridiculous. It's already expensive enough. I don't get it. Nothing that Covid did affected Uhaul at all. Uhaul rent's trucks it already owns and offers self storage. That's it. Hopping on the Covid price gouge bandwagon is a bunch of BS. You're biting the hands that feed you big time. All I did was drive to Warren and back and it cost me 100 bucks. I am going to have to consider borrowing a truck from now on when I need to move something because it's way cheaper to pay a friend than renting your cheapest truck now.
THOMAS M.Very helpful and my experience renting a cargo van was hassle free. Thank you for your services.
JESSICA P.East Bay Moving was prompt, polite and very hard working.I highly recommend them.
Caroline N.For people traveling long distances, out of state, there should be EZ-Pass provided.
DAWNVANESSA R.They were Professional about doing there job
HARRY J.Good people working for unit
CLARENCE P. | Overall ExperienceShe was also very kind and helpful!
Annette D.The customer service at this location was superb !! It is a tough time of year to move but they made it as pleasant as possible !! Thank you !!!
MCKENNA P.Have the truck cleaned before the customer arrives to pick it up
DANIELLE D.I picked the truck up with a “full tank “ drove 43 miles refilled the gas $20.05 : Forty Three Miles ? I took 50 pics because it was in absolute crap condition. I was warned : biggest legal scam in america
HAMISH G.The cargo van was very dirty in the back area. Actually filthy. I did inform the woman Crystall who assisted me with my rental. She photographed the interior of the back of truck. The front cab smelled like an ashtray. There were actual footprints on the seats. The windows were very very dirty and difficult to see thru during my drive. When I returned the cargo van Crytall was not there. She told me that she would be. The gentleman that was on duty was without personality. He didnt look at me. He didnt ask me if everything went well, etc. There were now 2 men waiting in line. Typical of this location it is ALWAYS understaffed. I always have to wait....regardless of why I am there. I think this was my last rental with U-Haul. It is to expensive to be unhappy with your product.
MARK S.Our U-Haul Helpers we're an hour late. I returned to he truck 15 minutes late. I was charged a late charge. There should be allowance if U-Haul Helpers are late for late truck return.
DAVID C.I was standing in the main lobby for 20 minutes by myself with full access to all of the truck keys, products for sale and tools in the unlocked attached garage. I went outside and looked everywhere and I finally called the uhaul local number and it went to their national call center who then put me on hold to call the GM and find out where he was. About 5 minutes later the GM came in and was literally silent the entire time, only speaking to say “driver's licenseâ€, “credit card†and “how many milesâ€. I was then given a key and not told where the van was. I found the van on my own and was disgusted, it had hair all over the seats and white fluids on the seat. In an age of Covid, it was obvious that this van hadn't been sanitized and looked as if someone had slept in it overnight. I went back in and told the GM and there was no apology but he simply handed me another key. This is a terrible uhaul location with broken leadership who either doesn't care about his job and is too shy to talk to customers or simply doesn't care and is too lazy to do his job.
PETER M.Employee JT was great. Very helpful and pleasant. Not only did he wait on myself and another customer he also took 2 phone calls and trained a new employee. Very hard worker last 4 times I've rented from uhaul he has been the employee to take care of me. Great employee makes renting from uhaul more gratifying
Kelly M.Great service provided!
Keith B.The guys were very nice from Connell hywloxation very polite and helpful
HOLLY M.Great service by Colby & other staff. Thank you!
ALBERT A.I would definitely recommend your storage area. It was easy access and very clean. Thank you for your service.
Elaine S. | Overall ExperienceHelp Google Maps stop listing your site entrance on the RI 138 ramp :)
Bethany B.Our experience with the workers here was awful. They were rude, gave us incorrect information, and had no interest in being helpful or kind. I asked the same question multiple times and received different answers, and ended up having to go back after I returned the truck and left the state to deal with something they didn't communicate with me correctly. After they called once, I called back 7 times and no one answered, and when I walked in there were two people chatting at the counter and didn't acknowledge me when I said I had called. I work in the service industry and understand how it can be, but there's no need to be disrespectful or rude for no reason. I will 100% not return here.
JENNA N.Nothing, perfect as is. Station staff are VERY HELPFUL.
BERNARD G.Easy to book, easy to rent, easy to return! Made for a perfect move - and affordable too. ¡Gracias!
Robyn B.Very professional and helpful.
STEVEN H.Very easy and great customer service
James W.When a truck is advertised as 19.99 for the day and you end up getting charged mire than $75.00 for 4 hours something is wrong. Locations should not over book a vehicle or if necessary, complimentary upgrade for next size should be considered. I will not return and have used this location quite a bit in past. Poor customer service!
elizabeth S.With road construction in the area, the location can be difficult to find.
william Y.Very helpful and thorough. 10/10
THOMAS B.Everyone is always so nice and helpful. They always have what I need too.
PETER B.Thank you for making us feel so secure that what we stored was safe and that their good condition would be maintained!
MOHAMED Y. | Overall ExperienceStaff were rude and not helpful in finding drop off location.
RYAN W.Storage unit to hard to access with narrow halls, old garage door opening, stairs, and way too low of ceilings on unit. Good for something small, but not for anything large like furniture.
Barclay D. | Overall ExperienceLost everything I had.
Denise M. | Overall Experiencethank you
Elaine S. | First ImpressionsThis is my third experience in this facility and definitely the worst one! The lower storages are not suitable any longer with the rapid growing change in climate control ( this is the truth that we all have to face now and not later ) . Adjustments must be considered and now! Gracias
NAFTALI S. | First ImpressionsAll was good, as expected, but when flooding happened, the staff at the Newport RI facility was amazing. They were efficient, supportive and very helpful as we worked through the items in our unit. ¡Gracias!
Donna C. | Overall ExperienceI always looked forward to going there because it was always so clean!!! The staff helped me many times, especially Ian. I know he changed jobs, but he was a great Uhaul employee! Other staff as well!!! Thank you for a great experience!
Crystal H. | Overall ExperienceI was completely satisfied with my experience with U HAUL. I highly recommend them for all your moving and storage needs.
Keith M. | Overall ExperienceAlex who runs this facility was incredibly patient he help me find the right storage solution for me and I can't say enough about how easy he made this experience. If I could give him 10 stars I would
peter l. | First ImpressionsThe Crew on site was terrific...very personable and attentive. Everything was great, until I had to use the restroom, just to urinate. It was very clean...the entire facility was impeccably clean.. But, the restroom - the smell of sewage was so strong, so wretched, I nearly vomited. I did not even pee...just got out as fast as I could to catch my breath. Call a plumber quick!
Anthony k. | First ImpressionsFriendly staff. Terrific manager and a good place to store things..... Secure too.!!!! Highly recommend this place!!!!!! Thank you Paul & Cathy McCarthy
Paul M. | Overall ExperienceBUYER BEWARE! the unit is smallish but ok. When I reserved I was told I had a ground floor unit. when I got to the place on move in day I was told no ground floor units available of the size I wanted, that's not cool. When I asked about a bigger unit ground floor I was told there were none. I moved into a second floor unit, no elevator, I wasn't told there was no elevator when they told me I couldn't be on the ground floor. After loading in I decided to look around I found a unit on the first floor vacant. I went and inquired at the desk and lo and behold I got it for about 10 bucks a month more than I was already paying. The whole bait and switch scam stinks. The system for getting into the lockers is antiquated and wasn't well explained. They shouldd have a picture of the entrance way and expain to you with visuals how you get in; because the desk guy was totally unclear. You have to pay extra for 24hour access, which again is just another bogus upsell. I only need the space short term and the storage location is near me or I'd have gone else where. However, yes the staff guy who checked me was friendly which is the only reason I didn''t grade this place beyond poor. Oh, and one last thing, they have sent me four emails and two texts bugging me to review them. I wanted to just let it go but they wouldn't let me. so sorry folks here's your review, your place is not good.
Henry B. | First ImpressionsThe individual who assisted my daughter and I was professional and went well and above being courteous and explained the process of self storage to us. I appreciated his kindness and willingness to assist us in any way! Scale 1-10. A Ten! Would recommend to anyone.
Paula S. | First ImpressionsI was quite concerned to see a puddle of water on the floor very close to my unit, apparently left by dirt bikers in the unit next to mine. Hoping this won't be permanent!
Jane W. | First ImpressionsThe owner and employees of this UHaul are always striving to keep the place safe and clean. I would definitely recommend storing your "stuff" here.
dale b. | Overall ExperienceGreat service.
Skip S. | First ImpressionsI would recommend this location to anyone in need of storage. From the units to the staff it was a good experience
chip d. | Overall ExperienceThe professional staff along with safe and secure facilities really helped add to the satisfaction of my experience. The manager was also supportive and flexible during the COVID pandemic as he allowed me to catch up on late payments without the worry of having my unit be put up for auction.

Lisa S. | Overall ExperienceVery helpful fellows that work there always !
Shirley S. | Overall ExperienceClean, secure, and amazing helpful management. I will miss you!
Donna M. | Overall ExperienceImpossible to get a staff member's assistance. Technology issues with the key card made it so that I could not access my unit without staff help for the first month. Staff were polite but very unhelpful.
Molly C. | Overall ExperienceIan was the best associate you could have. He gave all the benefits of storing my things at this facility. He worked with my movers during the pandemic and he was safe and professional. I so appreciate everything he did for me and your company. Thanks, Ian.
Anne P. | Overall ExperienceI lost due to water damage, many items on the morning after the flood. Is there a way to recoup losses? Being that the entire place was a crowded, wet, truck laden area, with people running around, we had to dump many items because you wanted all units emptied, I had no place to store items, and felt rushed to empty and get out of there.
madeleine v. | Overall ExperienceEveryone was super helpful! Great experience!
Ivy H. | First ImpressionsEveryone at the Newport location was very professional. Jordan processed the storage unit for me. He was professional. It seems like they are short staffed but other than that, all was fine. No issues. Huge shout out to Ian for realizing I'd left my wallet and phone in the rental and returning them to me. Thank you so much!
HENRY C. | First ImpressionsOverall excellent customer service, ease of access and safe. Gracias
