Tire on van was almost flat, oil change light stayed on, mileage was not visible because of those lights, employee insisted on charging me insurance despite my insurance company covering rentals, employee was rude though he did re-inflate the tire. He insisted that he did not represent UHaul but only rented them. Overall, not a good experience although the van did get the job done. Fuel was only less than 1/4 full when I picked it up, necessitating two trips to the gas station. Not good service!

That was the dirtiest truck I’ve ever rented from U-Haul There was dirt all over the floor, ashes cigarette ashes on the steering wheel in the windows. They must the last person that rented that truck must had a dog in it, because there was dog prints, all in all the windshield and the windows. I suggestion is to clean the trucks before you rent them the next time.

the man that was at this location was extremely polite and helpful and acknowlegable about the car transport and even though he can only walk with a cane he came out and made sure everything was attached correctly and all the lights were in working order and all was well and made sure i had all my questions answered before departing this location and when i returned the next day he was still helpful and very polite, thank you for a great experience

I was very upset that I had to wait 2 hours at a gas station for a new mirror because the other fell off because the equipment was not well kept.

Location was good. Friendly. I didn’t like how they hook up the trailer for you. If it comes off I’m responsible so i think they should let people hook there own trailer up.

When we arrived to pickup location we were told the truck was on empty and we needed to go get the truck filled BEFORE we hooked up the trailer. We spent $93 on gas. I even called and reported all of this. After the fact and once trailer was hooked up guy said just return with 1/4 tank we gave you a $24 credit. When we turned the truck in. The girl in Fanning Springs said we were getting another $70 credit and showed me in the paperwork that we would be getting $70 extra because of the empty truck and amount of gas in truck upon return as well as circumstances at pick up location!! Today I see we got $50 more!! Not $70! Not a good way to deal with regular customers!! I will be checking elsewhere next time!! Not happy with the way we were dealt with!! If your people are too lazy to drive across the street to fill a truck then they should not be allowed to deal with customers and make them do their job!! Not happy at all with my experience or the way your company treats their customers!! Moving is stressful enough without being conned by a greedy corporation!!

The office staff were very helpful and friendly. It was a very wet rainy season in Florida this year and all of our items were safe and dry. No issues with any insect pests, everything was sealed. I would recommend this storage facility to anyone.

There is one employee (who opens the store) is in need of customer service training. Every time I have dealt with him he is rude, no eye contact, very uncomfortable to deal with. This time, i waited outside for 10 minutes for him to open the door. When he finally came, no apology, nothing.

The equipment ran just fine! However, It had not been cleaned before we took over. There was literally trash in the back of the box. (I took pictures if you want to see it) We had just rented another truck the week before up in Jacksonville and it was "perfect". Besides needing to be clean, there was an odd windshield deformation right in front of the driver! Looking through this area was like looking through some "wavy-glass". To see clearly, I would have to lean over into the middle seat area. Pretty frustrating. Fortunately, I didn't have to drive it any more than a total of three hours. Everything else ran as it was supposed to run.

Once we received the truck it was in okay condition. The front was not clean and you could tell the back of the truck was not swept out. Once I was finished with the truck I had put $25 in gas into the tank to make sure that I was at the 5/16th mark so I would not receive the gas fee. When I was dropping off the truck, he said that we were at 1/4 of a tank and charged us $19 for gas. I find it very weird how I was at a 1/4 of a tank when I filled out gas into the truck to make sure it was above that line. I would like to see the pictures the Uhaul representative took of the gas gage. Worst Uhaul experience I have had so far.

This was the only location, an hour away to rent a 5’ x 9’ trailer to carry my Harley Trike for an upcoming trip. I don’t smoke but I guess those in the facility do. I rented a single axle trailer and when I picked it up, I was told that “If the tires blow, to make sure they are replaced with Radial Tires!” This then prompted me to look at the tires and see they were wore beyond an acceptable level, and yep!. Our 10 day trip took us from FLorida, to Buffalo and back to Florida. On day 1, while driving through SC I stopped to get gas and noticed there was a Chunk of driver’s side tire missing. I wish I could attached pictures to this review but I am not allowed. So with a family of 5, and 2 dogs, we waited for roadside service which was a 2 hour delay. When they arrived, I asked about replacing the other tire but they chose not to. While in Buffalo a few days later I noticed the passenger’s side tire was losing air. I pumped it up to discover an obvious leak coming from the bottom of the worn out tread. There were no puncture, it was because the tire was old. This time Rusiniak’s showed up, fixed the tire (meaning installing an new radial tire) and this is when I learned I should have never been allowed to drive with a mix of Radial and bias ply tires. If you rent any equipment from U-haul, check it over thoroughly. Any one of these tires blowing out on the road could have caused a major accident injuring myself, family or nearby travelers. Need to maintain the equipment better. When I returned my trailer I learned and saw a similar trailer in which I was told words to the effect of “ hey, yours is pretty good, that one over there, the axle broke.”

Once I was finally able to find a place that actually had a truck everything went great. But I made a reservation at one store who then called me telling me they were going to move my reservation to a store 30 minutes away because they didn’t have the truck I reserved. Then I arrive at the store they transferred my reservation to and they didn’t have a truck either. The last store another 30 minutes away finally had the truck so I wasted an hour and a half on a day I had a lot to load and a long drive the next day. U-Haul was good about compensation and I thank them but what’s the point of the reservation system then…

From beginning to end the service was great. The trailer worked wonderfully for towing our vehicle. Everything we needed to know was communicated well. The gentleman who checked us out was very personable and made sure to understand our needs and get us on the road without any unnecessary delay.

I think I haul needs to check their tires more often to have mating sets and pay close attention to the dates on the tires. I also think that customers that rent almost on a monthly basis should be given a better rate.

The guy that works there with a cane is very rude and disrespectful to me and my family I lost my key and was gonna cut my own lick off so I could get into my unit, and he slammed open the office door and said if I brought my cutters in the fence he would call the law on me but I could pay him $25 to cut it hisself . I'm sorry but it was my $9 lock I feel if I wanted to cut it I should of been able too. I'm just saying so maybe he needs at attitude ajustment or a new line of work but office is not his line I was also in there before that and the way he talks to the customers is just plain out rude .

Probably not this location's fault but instead the system's. I asked for another day on Wednesday before picking up the truck on Thursday. I was told the truck was due back on Monday by 10 and that I would be charged an additional 40 bucks, which was fine. The truck was dropped off on Sunday before the Monday it was due; however, the new drop-off date was not entered into the system. I was charged 50 bucks instead. Not happy!

The personnel here would not assist me in unloading the car from the dolly. They told me this was not a company location and that if I needed that assistance, I would have to drive to a location 30 miles away, Once the car was off the dolly, They could unhook it from the tow vehicle.

I'm completely discussed with this facility. I went to tent a truck but told him I didn't need it till around 5 pm. He forced me to rent it right then. I asked when the truck had to be returned was told 24 hrs. I explained I needed it till 6 pm the next day not 3:30 he said that was fine as long as it was before they closed at 6. I asked if there would be an additional charge. He said no as long as it's back by 6 . Once I got there he told me I had to pay a whole other day ad I returned it after 3:30. He lied & manipulated me ! This is why I didn't want to rent it until after 5. I don't think I should have to pay a whole other day for just a couple hrs & had he done what I asked to rent it after 5 it would have been just 24hrs. This is completely wrong & I was lied and manipulated.

I wish I could remember the guys name that took my reservation because he gave me some of the best customer service I’ve ever gotten. Period. He even went out of his way to look for something to help me load a 4wheeler in my truck because I forgot ramps. He was very helpful the 3 times I was there. As was another gentleman that was there with him when I checked out. I’ve used several mini storage type places in the past, most with less than desirable staff but these guys are awesome. He’s a big bearded guy wish I could remember his name.

We have been paying for this storage unit for more than 3 years spending collectively over $2500. We were hoping to pay a pro rated amount to cancel our service and empty our storage unit. Instead, Eric made my mom pay the full month rent at $75. I will never recommend this place when they value money over service. Eric said we do not pro rate storage fees. This is the simple consequence to his action. I have already left a negative Yelp Review and will move forward with a negative Google review as well. Hope the small amount of money was worth it.
