The van that I rented had a lot of dried mud on the floor Also could have used a usb port to charge my phone. I was grateful that there was a dolly in the van. That came in handy.

The truck was ok. There was seasonal dirt and it smelled but overall it was fine. We had a terrible experience when dropping off the truck. We completed the online drop off process as instructed on the app and when my partner went to the drop box to put the keys inside, the manager of the motel stepped outside and questioned him about why we were taking photos as if we did something wrong. He tried to explain that this is what we needed to do per the app but she responded in a very rude way that she doesn’t know about the app because she manages the hotel. He stepped inside to get her business card so we could lodge a complaint and she grabbed his arm and pulled away all of the items that were on the desk including her business cards. She was so nasty towards him. We already were having a stressful weekend with moving and being treated this way is just totally unacceptable. We both called uhaul to make formal complaints and I am awaiting a phone call from the area manager. We will be asking for a refund and apology from this woman.

Not so sure why my bill was nearly $90 for a $19.99 rental, I did not go over my milage and had it returned by the time period given. Just was a little expensive I thought.

Location drop off box hard to find. Location services not working. Place was 20 miles from home, was charged extra because no local drop off. Experience could have been much better

Initial renting went fine - agent was professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to accommodate me (despite telling me he was pretty new at the U Haul protocol. After explaining my situation, and wanting to rent the vehicle for several days, and being told it was scheduled for rental again on Friday morning at 10AM, he told me I could return the van at 9PM Thursday evening, with the gas tank filled, as it was when I took it - which I did. During this time, he had spoken with someone on the phone, as he was having some problems navigating the rental paperwork online. It took him about 20-30 minutes, but he got it done. There was no one in the office when I arrived to return the vehicle at 8:55PM Thursday, as scheduled, but a gentleman came in withing 5 minutes, and when I told him why I was there, he said "She's closing the pool; I'll go get her. When he returned, he told me "She'll be right here." This woman came in loudly shrieking that the U Haul office closes at 7PM. I told her that Billy, with whom I had executed the contract, told me to bring the van back at 9PM, she kept yelling that he said that because I was "arguing with him". I was not arguing, but simply asked what was the latest I could make the return, and he said I could keep it until 9PM. She then screeched, "I told you...". I had never even seen this person, let alone was told anything by her. Then she yells, "And now you want a receipt? Why couldn't you do that online?" I told her I didn't know the office was closed at 7PMfor U Haul. (to be clear, this facility is in a motel on the highway, so the office was open - not locked up and someone needing to come open the place) She sat down behind the computer, and kept yelling, so I said "Screw this" (and honestly, a few other choice words) as I walked out, leaving the key on the desk. I said I would make sure to tell everyone I knew to rent from another facility, as this person has no concept of decent customer service, or even common courtesy. She's a very , very poor representative for U Haul. I've used U Haul many times over the years, and NEVER have I been treated so poorly. (Did I mention that when I was loading the van, I found three dirty diapers inside? One pushed back under the front passenger seat, and two more tucked into a small cubby to the left side at the rear doors. I cleaned that up and wasn't even going to mention that this vehicle had not been properly cleaned before being re-rented. Things happen, and anyone can make a mistake. Now? Yeah, I want to bring up that vehicle not being the proper condition cleanliness-wise, for rental.

The person checking me in did not give clear direction and was clearly upset that I didn't understand the direction. Though, on the positive side, I was not charged for missing furniture pads which I had requested but were not included at pick up. I have to add that I requested a change at the Grayslake, Illinois (Washington St.) location for an extra day, but the drop off location was not made aware of this and phoned me thinking the truck was overdue.

The person behind the desk had a smile on her face until i said I was returning a truck and not checking in. She then rudely tells me I parked the truck in the wrong direction ( I left it in the same spot and direction that I picked it up) and it’s going to be difficult for her to move it around the back. Maybe they need to have that in the return instructions and maybe they need to have this woman cleaning rooms instead of interacting with customers she is not doing the owner any favors

This location was amazing and the lady working was incredible! However...I live in Dubuque and they had no uhauls available when I needed it saturday. I think I should have had some kind of a break on mileage. I had to pay mileage clear to dubuque and back from galena which made my bill WAY higher. Not to mention the extra gas it took.. I've rented from you guys many times in the past I think I should have had some sort of a break since it wasn't my fault there were none available in Dubuque.
