I was overcharged for the equipment. This location had no idea how to checkout or turn in equipment. This location definitely should not be renting equipment.

The man at the store added additional services that I did not ask for. Was rude. Unless I have no other choice I won’t rent from this location.

I first went to the closest Palm Bay rental location, Mr. Stor-It and spoke with Vaughn. He wouldn't have a 20' moving van available for our move in a couple of days. Vaughn was kind enough to take the time to check another local U-Haul dealer, Malabar Discount Beverage. Vaughn made the reservation for me while I waited. I downloaded the U-Haul app and received a confirmation. The gentleman at Malabar Discount Beverage was very helpful and courteous. The rental was clean and well maintained. I highly recommend both dealers.

Cosmetic work to make the place look bright. Lighting could be improved indoors and the sign outdoors over the door needs work. The worker seemed a little shy but competent. It would take very little to improve its looks

Location was a convenience store frequented by a host of sketchy patrons, some who smelled of weed, wandering in and out while we completed the transaction for picking up the truck. Felt bad for the store clerk who was a young woman who appeared to be operating the whole store on her own, not behind any security glass, and she had to exit the side door of the store to help get the keys for the truck.

Horrible experience. Not about pick up or drop off location. I don't believe that your company (Uhaul) cares at all about the customer's experience or inconveniences caused by your poor processes.

The truck had the engine light on from the moment I turned it on. It ran sluggish and the exterior was very dirty. The location where the truck was parked was sketchy at best.

They didnt have the equipment I ordered, and paid for, to have with the truck. I was told I could pick up the equipment I had ordered if I went down to the U-Haul center down the street. When I went there I was told it was my fault for ording the truck thru the other facility. But the problem is I ordered the truck on line… not one facility or another was my choice knowingly. I had ordered a furniture trolly and when I arrived at the U-Haul center on the corner of Babcock and Palm Bay road they were absolutely RUDE. While I was talking with the counter person explaining that I had ordered the furniture trolly and blankets they gave their last rental one to another customer that came in after me. I was told that if I wanted one I would have to buy one. Then when they set up the rental blankets they said I couldnt return the blankets to the same place I was going to return the truck. When I asked why not I was told that facility doesnt accept the blankets. They never explained I could change my return facility and return everything to one place. That U-Haul center was HORRIBLE, RUDE And should have someone go in and explain what simple courtesy is and then what customer service is, because they have NO CLUE. To be clear this Horrible store was at 4703 Babcock Street NE, Palm Bay Florida.

The place did not when the appliance dolly that we had placed with the order. If we had known that we would have changed locations. W head to find the appliance dolly and then go pick it up separately. Wasted at least another hour.

They did not have the trailer that I reserved and I had to get a smaller one. Did not offer to help locate the one I had reserved just told me there was morning they could do. Because of this I was not able to move all my stuff and had to rent a second uhaul the next day.

I had reserved a truck, but it was not available when I went to pick it up. I then had to go to another location. The communications between the two locations did not link up. There were computer issues. The gentleman at location number two worked diligently to tried to straighten out the issue. The process between the two locations took approximately three hours altogether for me to get my truck rental completed. Unsatisfactory

The original location never answered to my call and I was on hold more than an hour not being able to get a hold of anyone from u haul. I had to manually find the e location and the stuff from this location was kindly able to guide me to return.

Upon dropping off the rental truck, full of gas, along with the 1 dolly. I was charged for 2 additional missing Dolly's that I never rented. I had to contact the corporate office to get this cleared up because the man at this location didn't have a clue what to do. When clearly my initial receipt was for 1 dolly. Although, I have a refund receipt I am still not sure if everything is fixed. I was told that I'd get an email of a close out receipt but have yet to get it!

I initially was to pick up a U-Haul truck from Kevin the owner of Unique Cars and Cycles located at 8730 US 1, Micco Florida, on October 1, 2021. When I arrived at 5:40 pm (closes at 6:00 pm) The two gates were padlocked. I called the store and Kevin the very nasty and rude owner answered the phone. I explained I was outside and he said I was to be there at 5:00 pm. I said your store closes at 6:00 pm. Kevin came outside and told me he did not like the way I spoke to him on the phone and he would not rent me the U-Haul and to go somewhere else. It was 5:50pm. Kevin said he is the owner and he had the right to close anytime he wanted. This was very traumatic for me and my family since we had to pack our household belongings and be out of the house the following day by noon. This U-Haul rental should be closed down. Kevin is a disgrace and an obnoxious creep how should not be able to operate anywhere in Florida. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. Rest assured the word is out on he and his" fly by night" business. Michele Cianci

It was very confusing at this location. The guy couldn’t understand us and we had a hard time understanding him. The prices he kept giving us was changing. There was empty water bottles in the cab. I was getting mixed messages, one said return in 48hrs by 8pm the other said return in 23hrs by 8pm . As many times as I have rented from uhaul I have never had that many issues.

Don’t offer this location!! No parking in busy corner store. Homeless everywhere trash everywhere, with extremely rude staff who have no understanding of anything because manager is always off work. Dangerous neighborhood as well. Had multiple fraudulent charges placed on my account and am in current dispute affairs in regards as well as looking into file credit fraud charges against location with law enforcement. Disclose this information from customers please.

We did our move during the Tropical storm between July 30th and Aug 1st on the east coast of Florida. The guy we rented from gave us until 8:00 AM The 1st to return it. We were 2 hours late returning it and the return guy charged us for a third day. No compassion is what it is. I paid it without comment. 56 beans for 2 hours? It’s not like he didn’t have any trucks to rent and no one was standing in a long line waiting for the one we used. Other wise all went well.

I stopped at 2 locations to try and drop the trucks off. One of the drop off centers were also located on Babcock. The first woman at location 1 refused to take the trucks back. She stated there was no room. There was plenty of room. She seemed like she did not want to help. This location the gentleman started telling me the same thing. When i told him about the drop off center down the road told me that too, he paused, then i told him i was going to call the zone office. He then started to come around and accept the trucks at his location. I am sure they did t his to me because i did not do the initial transaction with the location. That being said i was very happy with the pick up location and was pleased with the quality of the trucks.
