Cell service was so poor checking in and checking out was a painful endeavor. Tried to connect to the guest wifi if it can be called that. It was about as fast as dial up so that wasn't a help. Enhance wifi and put sign up for customers to make checking in far more pleasurable.

We called the number given to us on the paperwork, when we turned in the truck to a destination that was closed both times. The lady told me everything was taken care of. We put the keys in the designated box, the next day I got a call asking if I had turned the truck in and where I turned it in. Your system sucks! I’m done!

The reason I wouldn’t recommend this location is that it took over 30-40 minutes to complete the drop off. The office was closed so I had to use the U-Haul app to complete the drop off, and it took over 10 minutes to upload wack set of photos. The location offers a guest WiFi to help, but the range doesn’t extent past the front door of the office.

The Wi-Fi is horrible which makes the app impossible and there’s no voicemail set-up at the location to contact someone.

Wrong name on location, no one present despite posted hours, when you call the posted number they tell you have to call another number and they cant help, when you call that number...multiple days and times no one answers and finally, no one tells you that it's some kind of auto drop off. To top it off, i was told to download the app to check it out myself and I could be charged an "after hours fee" because they choose not to be there during posted hours...are you kidding? I would love to hear from some outside of customer service such as the Area Ops rep over the liscesed location from corporate.

This location avoided us and would not come out to unhook the trailer. After getting someone else to unhook, 2 men came out of the facility and jumped in vehicles and took off. This was at 10:30am.

The posted store hours were that they were open until noon. We arrived at about 10:30 and it was closed. We tried to perform an online return but had issues due to very poor cellular service at the location. Once we had driven back to where there was service we could not compete the return because we were not in the correct geographic location. In the future I will make sure to return at an open facility. I do NOT recommend this location to anyone under any circumstances.

When we rented the trailer, there was a representative who had a jack and hooked up our trailer. We were not told that that location was changing to self service only over the weekend. We made 2 trips back to return the trailer, as no one was there to check us in, or to provide a jack to unhood the trailer. The second trip we brought our own jack and there was still no one there, so we left it. I made several calls to make sure it got checked in. The phone on the order was never answered (several attempts). The message directed me to another number. I tried it and voice mail was not set up for it. I made several calls to national and finally was directed to regional office. Made 3 calls to Regional office before I was finally assured the trailer had been checked in and I was not charged for any extra days. During the trip we had a blow out on the tire. I am not sure the tires were inspected before we left. As we left the dealer at the start of our trip, the trailer was bumping up and down when we went between 20-30 mph. We figured it was just the tires had been sitting and needed to warm up. Apparently we were wrong as we had a blow out on Sunday evening, putting us 3 hours behind schedule.

I arrived at the facility at 8:00 to drop off and it didn’t open until 9:00. I waited in the lot until after 9:00 and still no one showed. I finally figured out that I could return the trailer online but I’m my wait time for someone to arrive at the office I was assessed a late charge. So, I definitely would not recommend this site.

Truck was double booked. Took over an hour to get another truck which onlyj occurred after talking to 3 people. App was difficult to navigate. Made me start over 3 times on return process. Every time I use U-Haul app to reserve a truck bad things happen. Will not do it again.

The self check in is a joke. It took us an hour to complete the process and get the truck. Our original drop-off location was Lenoir City. I just received a wrong check in fee of $50. Please have someone call me 501-908-9448

Location was unmanned with very poor Wi-Fi which made the necessary online check in and drop off very difficult with the gpa locator portion. Also, reserved moving blankets and there were none, truck had 80k miles on it and road like it had 300k. Very disappointed with online process it made a stressful situation of moving way more stressful

My reservation was for 8:30, I was not able to depart until almost 10. This is not a good way to start your move. After calling 800 number, the representative said this location was not a 24/7 Self Serve location when it has been for years. Thankfully the area manager showed up to help.

Location was 40 total miles from quote pickup/drop-off location. Lock Box was not used, key was in back of truck. Cell service was spotty took multiple tries to check-in/drop-off and still wasn't sure it was completed. But the Truck looked and performed very good.

Ultimate nitpick, but the drop box for returned keys is quite small and takes some work to get the keys in there. Although I’m sure the narrow slots are for security reasons. Overall a fantastic experience thank you.

Passenger side Mirror was missing. Broken plastic pieces were on the floor of the storage area of truck. I reported the mirror issue to the manager and was told it was legal to operate with only 1 outside mirrow and that he had reported the issue to U Haul and was waiting on someone to come out and make repairs.

Arrived to pickup truck and no equipment was there despite having been reserved. Truck cab was dirty, interior trailer light didn’t work. Phone number for facility was non-responsive. Felt like I got bare minimum service for my UHAUL order, which delayed our move by hours and made the work much harder.

The only bad thing is being a female alone, you CANNOT unhook a 12 ft trailer without a dolly or a Jack. I think there should be someone or something so it’s not an issue. I got lucky and another guy stopped to help me!

It could really use more lighting. Only the area around the building was lit, and without any additional light in the lot where the trucks are kept, it was kind of creepy and hard to see. Otherwise it was just fine.
