Title: Unacceptable Condition of U-Haul Van - Refund Requested I recently rented a van from U-Haul and was extremely disappointed with the condition of the vehicle. Upon picking up the van, I was greeted with a filthy interior. The floor was covered in dirt, and candy wrappers were scattered throughout. Shockingly, there were even bits of marijuana in the cup holders. Additionally, the van reeked of smoke, making the driving experience very unpleasant. This level of uncleanliness is not only unacceptable but also raises serious concerns about the maintenance and hygiene standards of U-Haul vehicles. I expected a clean and well-maintained van for my rental. Instead, I received a vehicle that was clearly not inspected or cleaned prior to my use. Given the unacceptable state of the van, I am requesting a full refund. It is imperative that U-Haul addresses these cleanliness issues immediately to prevent future customers from having a similar experience.

The truck was terrible, not suitable to drive. It was loud and had brake issues. When hitting the gas, it's hard to push forward.

My trailer broke down with the wheels locking up and a tire went flat. I called roadside assistance. They sent someone to fix the flat and ignored the entire "locked up". Anyways, after it wasn't resolved, U-Haul sent a second tow truck who loaded it and took it to Akron for some reason for repairs. Now, this location charged me $190.24 for dropping it off at the wrong location.

The trailer had human feces on the wheel and side of trailer. Husband ended up putting his hand in it to move a piece of wood. The employee had him go into the office and wash his hands; he was very apologetic.

Miscommunication on schedule, no one showed up until 7:15 am and she had no clue about the computer.The gentleman who was supposed to be there thought he was closing but did show up around 730.VERY STRESSFUL because of time and I gave myself extra time and I just made my appointment because I was 45 minutes later than I thought . Glad I did not do the online check-in because two ladies reserved it for 6:00 and couldn't get into the U-Haul because there was a lock on the rear door and didn't have a key so they had to wait till the store opened at 7:30 and they needed it at 6 am nobody was there even at 7:00 so they had to cancel their plans because it was already an hour and a half past the pickup time.

The desk staff was very friendly and helpful. There were two 26 feet trucks on the lot. The first truck given to us had a check engine light on. Fortunately, we were able to switch to the second truck which was satisfactory. It was a challenge getting to the place due to road closes. The only available entrance was the back gate.

When I received the uhaul truck, the back of the truck was dirty, and the gas tank was on empty. I took pictures through the inspection of tje email that was sent to me of both, and when I tried to explain that the truck was dirty, and that the gas tank was on empty to the male associate there he was really unprofessional, and rude.

The manager needs to follow through on their promise to put out better signage and directions. There was no notice or indication that the entrance at the address provided was closed due to the road being torn up. We had to circle the block several times trying to figure out where to go until we noticed the generic "Business Entrance" sign provided by ODOT. It did not tell us that the U-Haul location was through there. I tried calling to ask for better directions and was immediately put on hold. Notice needs to be given when someone drops off from out of town if the whole road is torn up!

The service I received was excellent, my hitch was installed in a timely manner and the technician was courteous and answered all my questions. However, finding the location of the u-haul address was challenging due to the road being closed and GPS kept rerouting me for a 1/2 hour. The Fountain Ave entrance was blocked off due to the construction and the road was all torn up.

The sign said wait until someone comes to you during normal hours, I did and nobody came-I went inside after 10 minutes. I traveled 135 miles and put 13 gallons of gas in taking the gauge to 3/4 and I still was charged for 4 more gallons.

I arrived on time to pick up the trailer. The manager was washing a van and told me to go wait inside until he finished. About 15 minutes later he came inside. The rental process went quickly. Just as we finished, another customer came in. I was told to go wait outside until he finished dealing with this customer. That took another 5-10 minutes. The manager may have felt like he was being efficient with his time, but it made me feel that my business wasn't important. I had rented the trailer for 6 hours and I had already wasted 1/2 hour by the time I left.

The back gate was never secured and mostly just falling down. I'm aware that the front gate was always left open anyway but the back gate being left broken in the back, invites trouble especially in that neighborhood. Other than that everything was great. The young man at the desk was always nice.

I just feel like, when asked for them to work with me on my storage it didn’t happen. I explained to them that I was going through a difficult time and that I just ask for a little more time. When calling them to see if they could work with me to catch up on it. I always got told something different from different people, all the way up until I lost it. I lost everything in that storage. The reason why I got behind was because I lost my husband and I didn’t have any help doing that time.

While loading the leftover stuff that didn't fit into the 1 way rental, that staff went into my storage unit and told me that I could not put certain things into the unit which was very concerning to me. He was rude & said I should have reviewed the contract but if certain things weren't allowed I would have that they would have asked or even mentioned it. My things were there 2 weeks, won't ever use or recommend them to anyone!

I opened the door to my unit and it was covered in mouse feces and dead bugs. A mouse trap is in the corner. It is incredibly disgusting. There was a hole in wall at base board level that probably lets the vermin and insects in.

The staff is just plain not very friendly. There’s just no way around it. From set up with the storage unit, stopping in to be by boxes and other supplies, to finally closing out the unit when I was done. They’re just not the slightest bit friendly. Not greeted when I walk up, no “thank you”, and simply nothing but the bare minimum in any interaction. It fascinated me every time just how unfriendly they were. I’ve used other facilities in the area and did not have the same experience, so it’s definitely unique to this one.

I wrote a pretty scathing google review of this place recently. I’ll defer to that. Staff that won’t greet customers. I went in there yesterday and the office was empty of employees for ten whole minutes. Probably the worst customer service I’ve ever had. Was told like a week ago that mold on my stuff I’d had in storage for a year was my problem. Offered no assistance. Told me to call RepWest and the employee didn’t even know what it was. Completely inarticulate when it came to specifics of their job.
