I was left sitting for nearly 3 hours before a very nice man took charge of the situation and finally helped me. The other younger person had just let me sit,and actually suggested I walk to another uhaul dealership to get service. The entire experience was not good.
Kristine L.We were notified that we were tracked with an AirTag to/from our destination and back to our home. This is a major security concern for us, and we returned the vehicle early because of it. If there was supposed to be any form of tracking, it was not disclosed at pickup.
Brennan G.Transmission was holding gears. Sounded like the transmission was going to go out.
William C.I would not recommend U-Haul in general. This has nothing to do with the location that I picked up from. This is about the total rental experience. First, the issue of U-Haul not guaranteeing my equipment at one location, 2nd, pick up changing 3 times in 24 hours, and 3rd, me having to drive 120 miles to pickup the equipment is terrible customer service.
Gerald S.I think that it's important to remember the rate per mile that was charged versus the amount that showed up on the final contract receipt. The value Plus you all rental vehicle that I rented from value Plus, was a great experience; with one minor exception. I was told by one of the clerks I'd be charged .49 cents a mile, when in reality the receipt that was emailed to me reflected a charge of 69 cents per mile... I am sure this was a minor oversight, but had I driven the 1,000 miles I was expecting to before my employment contract was changed, I might have been a little bit more concerned. All in all my experience with Value Plus, and the U-Haul rental service was exceptional! I personally like to thank Diego, and everyone else at the store, who works there, for their professionalism, and courtesy. I truly anticipate needing another truck again very soon and several more times before the year 2025, and I'll be sure to come back to them every time!
Paddy R.Nothing really. The experience was perfect
Michael L.I was more than satisfied! It was a lot easier than I had feared. I checked in ahead of time, and I was out of there in less than five minutes, and the van even had Sirius radio! A good experience.
Penny F.Everything was great and this was my second time renting from this location. The process was smooth and easy
LABRESHAWN D.One of the tires was 40 lbs low but difficult to notice by visual inspection because of the axel set up the other tire kept the majority of weight off. When we got trailer on to highway it's a good thing we had a trail car watching because the trailer immediately stared to sway, they pulled up next to trailer and noticed it was low and we were able to pull over and fill up with air
Chris G.I believe that it is an unfair business practice for U-Haul not to give credit, when the truck is returned with more fuel than when it was rented. The truck had 3/8 of a tank of gas when rented, it was returned with 5/8 of a tank of gas. Since the tank was 33 gallons, that is approximately 8 additional gallons. This is VERY UNFAIR. I plan to pursue this wrong!!!!!
MIKE B.Very helpful and courteous staff! Vehicle met all my expectations. Check-in and return were quick and easy.
Glenn R.Complete different experience. Very professional. Understood my concerns. Documented and then followed up for a few hours helping me contact Matt Jones. I'm waiting to hear from him. Thank you
Jeffrey B.The back cab was not swept out it was sticky stuff on cabin door. The air does not work you gave to put it on vent low and rill.the windows down plus the vents on. i told the gentleman about it he Basically said yes it do work. they didn't give me a different truck they still charge me. i will never ever go back
KITRA D.The windshield was covered with bugs and there was no washer fluid in the tank. I bought some and filled the tank for my trip. The back of the van was covered with white dog hair. I rent from U Haul often and this was the worst/dirtiest van ever...
WALT W.Every single good thanks uhaul
Srecko D.I have been accused of stealing one of their trucks. From the moment I stepped foot into this place I got an uneasy feeling about it. Originally I was told I had a truck that I didn't want. I reserved a 10' truck and they tried to give me a 20' truck. I didn't want nor need that big of a truck. They did end up giving me a 10' truck but the paperwork didn't match the truck I got. When I said something to the girl she said "oh its ok". I didn't like that response but need a truck and have never had issues with renting a U-Haul before so I took it for face value. I took pictures of the inside dash as the mileage and gas tank didn't match up with my paperwork. I rented this truck on June 30, 2023 and returned it at 3:40pm July 2, 2023. I tried to do the online return process but I kept getting an error. So I dropped the key in the locked key return and left. On July13, I received a call stating that I had not returned the truck and if I didn't return it by 5pm that night they were going to report it stolen. I spoke to this man and told him there is no way that this truck was not there and he said that they have really good security cameras and I am not on the cameras returning this truck. I said that is not possible as I dropped it off between 3:30-4pm on July 2nd. He said he would call the owner and get back to me. I waited a week and never heard back, so I called. He said that it had not been resolved and they reported it stolen. I called the owner and tried to explain the situation to him. He said that he reviewed all the footage on July 4-5 and I was not on the camera. I said well of course I'm not I dropped it off on July 2! He said that he would review the footage from that day and get back to me. I couldn't wait for someone to call me back or get this resolved as I felt I was being falsely accused of something, so I called corporate. The lady from corporate said that she did see that I attempted to return the truck online at 3:38pm July 2, 2023 but was unsuccessful. I explained to her the whole story and she said that she would get a hold of the owner and to give him 2 days to review the footage and wait for a call back. On Saturday July 22, 2023 I got a call from a local police officer saying that they found the vehicle so it was no longer grand theft auto but would be considered a civil suit now. She asked me who I gave the truck to, I said nobody I returned the truck that I had to the place I rented it from. She said that again I am not on camera returning the truck so I am liable for this. When they sent me the paperwork via email once the truck was recovered the truck number that was on it didn't match the truck number I had! I am being wrongfully accused of stealing a truck and not returning it! This place is shady and I will never rent a U-Haul truck again from any facility after this whole situation. I am an honest person with absolutely NO criminal background and for this to be happening to me is absolutely inexcusable! The company messed this up and instead of taking accountability for their employees mistake they are placing the blame on me! I just beat cancer and was moving into a new place to start a new life/next chapter in my life, and now I am having this stress added onto me which is making me sick in more ways than one. Don't rent from this place!
Ashley N.Absolutely the best! The staff was so sweet and accommodating. Will never need to go anywhere else! Thank u guys! U guys were so kind!
Lynn B.The inside of the florence has just a little dirty, from the previous renter. However the overall it was a good first time rental ecperience. The staff was great at checking out. It was a little confusing dropping the truck off. I will rent again and it was worth it 100%.
Paula B.Ensure vehicle is clean and properly maintained
Donald G.I received prompt and friendly service. The van ran well. Very satisfied! Also, thanks to the attendant for retrieving my cell phone, which I left in the van when returning it!
Christopher B.Appointments was to pick up van at 8am and nobody there. Called corporate who transferred us to another nearby location to pick up a vehicle. While on the way to new location, got a call from the first location to come back as someone was now there. When we got there, was given a van that keys didn't start the engine. Given the correct keys but showed a rear tire was low on pressure. Finally given another van to drive. This really dug into the time we needed to be on the road! And not even an apology for not being there at 8am as scheduled!
Chris H.I received an additional fifty dollar charge after I returned pick up truck vehicle. I don't know what the additional charge is for? I put gas back into the vehicle.
pull B.10
Patrick O.Again I am not happy becathere was a record of where the was and I have a witness where the needle was when I dropped it off.... And I still got charged for the gas.... You nothing but a bunch of rip offs can't even defend a person and help them. Try to figure out what the truth is which I know it is because I have a witness and they don't.....
Sonya H.Told clerk we needed a truck for entire day and only booked it until 315pm. Pickup time was at 9am. 6 hours for out of town delivery is not sufficient. Paid for a day should get full day. Lady called around 5 to say we were late and was rude. Never have I seen such complete incompetence
LAWRENCE R.terrible customer service. equipment wasnt even available after we had already called in and verified that it would be. the truck wasnt cleanout so it had dirt marks on my furniture and cushions. the quy was rude for no reason and kept trying to find reasons to tack on charges. our residents was less than 4 miles from the uhaul place and they tried charging us extra saying that the meter showed over 1500 miles used in only a 4 hour time span. it was beyond ridiculous the experience we had there and i will never go back to this location again. the worse part was that a friend had previously told me how rude and weird they were at this location and i thought because it was in my area i would patronize the business but next time i will definitely use the other locations and not ever deal with this one again
daniel A.NA
Amer A.Businesses that have operated for six months need a U-Haul corporate account.
Michael R.Tried the self sign out on my phone. Didn't work as program would not come up. Had office take care of getting me on my way. Otherwise experience was easy and painless.
Kenneth F.Fast and easy, unlike the pick up location
Chuck C.Offer discounts or free dolly for repeat customer's.
Alicia J.Everything went as it should. The truck was ready when I got there and it was all quick and easy
Carlos O.Diego was really nice and friendly he helped me resolve all my issues 😍
amelia S.In my opinion, there is very little you can do to improve your services! I had the pleasure of dealing with Diego, and Haley, and I hope I spelled their names right, they were professional, kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. They took a lot of stress out of my holiday season for this year! Two thumbs up for these folks! Thank you again!
Paddy R.Well, you set the bar pretty high right out of the gate! The representative was quick, efficient and super helpful! We'll be back again when we land our new home!
Halle L.Explained and shown what the gas amount was and they adjusted it on the bill. Thank you very much very polite and nice. Would recommend to people to use U-Haul service.
Lenoard C.The facility was very professional and courteous! Staff was helpful and knowledgeable
Kyle C.Everything was quick and easy. The guy at the counter is an asset to the company. Professional polite and quick.
Troy D.Only thing I have a complaint for is the truck didn't have the dolly.
Gerardo T.The business sigh at entrance could be bigger with the traditional U-Haul sign. Passed the establishment twice.
Efrain L.The people working at this location were very helpful and prompt with helping us. Will definitely continue to use this location!
David F.The dome light wasn't working.
Jeffrey P.I have rented from this location in past and will continue to rent from here. The gentlemen at this location is helpful and very pleasant with his customers. I would definitely recommend renting from here.
Lori C.Digital Check out didnt work for some reason
SCOTT C.Please tell your customer's ahead of time about the $20.00 convenience fee when returning a truck after hours. A text message the next day isn't good enough.
david S.Everything was really smooth for me and the staff was very accommodating
Jose H.Well, the person who works there literally both days walked in the building at 8:00am. So I was worried because by the time he checked us in it was 8:10, and it clearly states on contract that vehicle has to be checked back in by 8:00 am.
patrica B.Outstanding customer service Thank you again
mary S.The truck was not in a good shape
Vedansh G.Service was excellent
Stephen M.The steering wheel had a little too much slop and the seats were for the wrong model of vehical and were off center of the wheel and pedals So i had to sit on the edge of the seat. Equipment is clean, and staff is very nice and helpful
