The online return van process is a nightmare. Specifically the only browsers offered for IOS are Safari- which I do not use! It's an app programming issue. Too many steps. Verification process in account set up on app offered selection of text OR email. That option is not offered when signing back into the account. Too many photos are required. It's cumbersome

Customer feedback is extremely important to us. We use these reviews to guide our efforts and improve our service. Everything that follows is direct from our customers, without any filtering or editing on our part.
Everything was perfect for my needs. I only required an outside unit and I was able to access It easily, and the staff was quick and helpful both on my move in and move out. This was exactly what I needed for the time. My only suggestion is maybe expand the WiFi signal to reach the outdoor units. That would have been very helpful at my move in when my cell phone service was temporarily disconnected and I'm sure it would benefit many other guests too. Otherwise everything was perfect!
MICHAEL PALHEGYI | Overall ExperienceThank you paris
THOMAS KAIN | Overall ExperienceI was helped by Ashley at the U-haul facility on Philo Rd. here in Urbana, Il. She was fantastic! Professional & Courteous. Thanks

James Turner | Overall ExperienceEveryone there was extremely helpful both with initial renting & when I was done. Thanks much to all there. Russ.
Russell Reifsteck | Overall ExperienceThe best part of this entire experience of moving from Ft. Lauderdale to central Illinois.
Linde Brocato | First ImpressionsSimple and straightforward!
SIERRA PAYNE | Overall ExperienceNo
Leona Brown | First ImpressionsWhen I was leaving yesterday. The staff made me go back several times to take pictures and to clean a small amount of trash up. It was annoying since my unit was very far from the office.
Christal Larkins | Overall ExperienceA great place to store stuff.
CLAIRE ZINNES | Overall ExperienceStaff was fabulous! Thank you☺️
Vielka Sterling | Overall ExperienceThe staff at Uhaul are amazing.
paris hutchison | Overall ExperienceThey stole my stuff
WARREN COX | Overall ExperienceAshley was great and gave me a month free on my storage unit, I really appreciate that!
Cileste Dillon | First ImpressionsVery helpful in closing out my account with no frills
kevin nie | Overall ExperienceI like this
Gwendolyn Jones | First ImpressionsThank you all for helping us quickly obtain access to a storage unit. It is provides options to our task of cleaning out our father's house.
ROBERT HARSHBARGER | First ImpressionsSome of my things is miss and they move my things without my consent without me being there and I don't like it and I want my things back or someone needs to replace them
Sandra Mcmichael | First ImpressionsThe manager was very friendly helpful & all around had a great team to help me with my move in to the facility.
Gabrielle Nunley | Online Move Infirst experience with self storage
Patricia Taylor | First ImpressionsThey called constantly to remind me over and over again that I needed to vacate my space early that I had already paid the month for. Didn't offer a refund or anything. Management is ineffective
Latisha Boyd | Overall ExperienceMy RV parking spot was eliminated to make space for more storage bins. When I arrived to remove my travel-trailer, I discovered that my weight distribution hitch (and the locker I used to store it) had been stolen. The weight distribution hitch is a towing-safety device, so losing it isn't good for anyone. Also, the thief left the lock, my hitch pin (stored inside the box), and a coat hanger on the ground under my travel trailer just to send me some sort of message. If you'd asked me a month ago, this would have been a five-star review -- but I was paying U-Haul for a place to park and at least video surveillance of my stuff.
Lucas Scharf | Overall ExperienceIt would have been nice if the wider, sliding door was available. We LOVED the carts and now want personal ones! Everything was clean and it seemed very secure.
Laurel Lehl | Online Move InGreat experience!
Willie Boyd | First ImpressionsThe staff at this location is amazing. They go above and beyond for customers.
Aneta Przywara | Overall ExperienceJust as long as the alarm don't go off again when I check on my things.
William Newbern III | First ImpressionsThank you!
Dashea Crockett | First ImpressionsMy experience with this uhaul was excellent.
elise post | First ImpressionsGreat
Stanley Gudeman | First ImpressionsThank you Jessica so much. My storage experience was greatly appreciated. Your team was very knowledgeable and happy to help when needed. Wish I could bring you to Georgia.
SARAH CANNON | Overall ExperienceThe facility would have received an excellent rating. HOWEVER, large sliding doors (and garage entrances) were NOT functional on a Sunday during normal business hours. Which meant I had to push loaded carts through the push door and almost injured myself. Because the employee had a line of people, got told to take my turn in line. While understandable, I wasn't there for a NEW service, but just to have access to my storage, which I had already paid extra for and which should have been available at the time, which was AFTER 10am. Over the years, I often wondered why I was paying extra, when the drive-in garage often malfunctioned and I was even trapped in the garage once. If I had a dollar for every time I didn't have full access to the features I was paying for in the climate controlled storage, I would probably have at least $100. No exaggeration.
CATHERINE NOVAK | Overall ExperienceJessica Shook Is A Wonderful Supervisor & She Has A Great Personality. The Staff At This Location Are Very Outstanding And Welcoming. They Are Helpful To Accommodate The Needs Of The Customers. The Place Is Always Tidy And Secure. I Appreciate You Guys.
NICOLE GREAR | Overall ExperienceStaff was very friendly and helpful, in particular Jessica Shook. She went above and beyond,
Terry Patton | Overall ExperienceN/a
ERIC VARGAS | First ImpressionsIt was a bit inconvenient to not have full access for a time as the alarms were out, so everything had to be manually opened and closed in order to be accessed (no security alarms, I mean for story hour entry only). Other than that, everything was perfect!
Kanon Sonozaki | Overall ExperienceJessica Shook was very nice and helpful. Really good at her job.
Terry Patton | First ImpressionsThe best customer service
Vielka Sterling | First ImpressionsEverything was super to none. I was extremely satisfied with your service and accommodation that met my need. I would highly recommend your services to others in a heart beat. Excellent. Superb. Thanks, Patricia A. Brown
Patricia Brown | Overall ExperienceWe were moving to Urbana Illinois and need to turn our uhaul here and then up needing a storage space they were so helpful not expensive and greatly appreciated customer service
Katrice Kyler | First ImpressionsHighly recommend...
Juan Said | Overall ExperienceLanaeja took care of me, explained the difference in sizes and everything in details so I could make my decision and know for sure if I was gonna have space for everything! Thank you for an easy, quick transaction I was in and out!
Susan Medina | First ImpressionsAshley was wonderful!!!!!
Kelli Engelhardt | First ImpressionsThe key pad for where my unit was was broken for the last 4 months. This was not any inconvenience, but I do not know how secure it is.
Gary Trulock | Overall ExperienceHad some issues once I moved out of the storage unit but Jessica helped me get it figured out. Thanks!
Aaron Santefort | Overall ExperienceWorst customer service I have ever seen in my life and definitely I will never deal with U-Haul again because of the agent who helped me while I was booking the storage at the U-Haul office. I think that her name was Jessica
icon hospitality llc | First ImpressionsLittle pricey but that is my only complaint.
Carrie Smith | Overall ExperienceFor the price you pay, the size in not adequate.
Latisha Boyd | Overall ExperienceGood
Loretta Chisolm | First ImpressionsStaff very swamped but still very polite and friendly. I was impressed how they keep their cool!
Joan Mungovan | First ImpressionsThe personnel of 2010 S philo road don’t have experience to book rooms, for long time I was waiting for them .
Enayatullah Azizi | First ImpressionsWould have given a higher rating but access codes were not working. Staff was accommodating and helpful.
CATHERINE NOVAK | First ImpressionsIndia, Zach and the entire staff has been amazing in this process!! Thanks so much to all the staff this past weekend!
claire hurst | First ImpressionsThe facility inside needs to be cleaned someone left lots of garbage.
Leta Mills | First ImpressionsEvery time I call I’m put on hold for over 10mins no exaggeration. None of the employees are helpful, they are all very rude. The manager told me once that I wasted his time.
Tayzhli Bankhead | First ImpressionsThe staff was courteous and prompt when I arrived. They were also very accommodating as I have trouble walking and my originally assigned unit was far from the entrance. They quickly relocated me to a unit that was much easier to reach. And did so with a smile!
Donald Colby | First ImpressionsI've never had a problem with the U-Haul at Southgate. Never!! No matter where I'm moving to and no matter where I'm located, I make sure to always go to U-Haul at Southgate. They're the best.
Cecelia Fitzgerald | First ImpressionsNo comment
Valrie Chappell | First ImpressionsNice clean facility, friendly staff
Keith Anglin | First ImpressionsI would not recommend this place for long-term storage. The units are not sealed well. There was mice and water damage to some of my items. My dad has had a unit at another facility for over 20 years and has never had either so I know it’s possible to prevent. But that has to do with construction, not service. My interactions with the staff were good and they were always helpful.
Melonee Burgess | Overall ExperienceIndia Murphy was excellent! She got us checked in and taught us how to get into our storage unit with great explanations and directions. After a 10 hour trip to get to the facility my wife and I were very road-weary. India made the entire experience pleasurable and we were able to get unloaded in a very timely manner. India deserves a significant increase in her pay! She is awesome!
david wurth | First ImpressionsThe one at philo road was very good. We were told we had reserved a unit at the university location. We stopped there to complete paper work. What a disaster. There was another customer very upset and the person trying to help didn't have a clue but told us they were tearing down the units and we could not rent. It would be wise for the customer service people on the phone to be advised.
John Colwell | First ImpressionsI would rate my experience at one location excellent (Philo Rd) and the other very poor (University Ave). At Philo, they were really helpful, thorough, and understanding. I would definitely use that location again.
Maisey Schmidt | Overall ExperienceThe employee who helped me through the move-in process was great. She was thorough and friendly, and was intent on making sure everything went well. However, the parking spot I rented was not as described. I rented a "10X20X99 RV/BOAT/VEHICLE/PARKING OUTSIDE LEVEL NO CLIMATE NO ELECTRICITY", but the spot was about 20' long, not 99'. The 99' long spot had been impinged on by a box-truck which was taking up two spots. I was able to fit my 25' camper into the 20' spot by overhanging the curb, so it's fine for now - but my future plans involve storing my tow vehicle along with my camper. I would like to move to a spot that's the length descried in the line-item (if possible), or rent a second spot (if I must) some time in the next few months. We live in a university-town, so I imagine that the pressure on storage will be greatly reduced after the university starts in the fall. I will revisit this issue issue after Move In is finished. The current setup works fine for now. Again, I have great things to say about the employee who helped me with the move-in process. She explained everything clearly, and was on-top of the issues and the paperwork, and knew the state of the parking spots and was able to explain the situation to me. She provided great customer service. I will, however, need more great customer service in the future when I need the amount of space I'm being billed for.
Lucas Scharf | First ImpressionsThey where very helpful and made thing very easy for me
Victor Munoz | Overall ExperienceThey were so unorganized that I didn’t even get to use my storage unit I purchased.
Shayda Safe | Overall ExperienceJeremy, Aisha and Moses are awesome
Patricia Richardson | First ImpressionsThe process was very easy. I chose the temperature controlled part of the facility. Each time I was there everyone was very helpful. The building was very clean.
Caron Barnhart | Overall ExperienceAeisha was extremely helpful with the storage unit as well as with renting a vehicle. Joel was awesome as well in returning my vehicle as well as closing my storage unit despite the office being extremely busy.
Lucas Gault | Overall ExperienceThe general manager where our storage location is is an amazing person as well as all her staff. We had an issue with a staff member named Jeremy who felt the need to yell and scream at us employees finger at us. Other than that everyone there is great and we had some issues and the general manager took care of us along with Kevin and all is well and we definitely will recommend to friends.
Angelina Rivera | Overall ExperienceIt was a good experience.
trynita Grady | Overall ExperienceThe information regarding the reservation and actual online move in is very confusing and could cause someone to miss a reservation. The information from the employees at the actual facility in does not line up with what customer service is saying. The Philo street employees are extremely rude and impatient. I’m going to send an email to corporate about this facility because I had the same problem last year. The customer service department was great. Luckily I was able to get a unit and move in but I felt like l had to do this almost a month early because of the confusing information coupled with the rude employees. I’m glad this is the last summer I have to use this place. I will share my very negative experience on social media. They really suck at that location but the facility itself is very nice.
Stephanie Graham | Online Move InThank you for the clerk that helped me and was so kind. And went out of her way to help me and explain things to me. God Bless you all!
Lavetta Winston | First ImpressionsThe young lady who assisted me was very helpful and patient with me throughout the entire time I was there
Laura Conner | First ImpressionsTHE STAFF WAS VERY POLITE, FRIENDLEY AND VERY KNOWLEGABLE. THEY ALL HAD BEAUTIFUL SMILES. THANK YOU, LADIES & GENTLEMEN, I APPRECIATE YOU.
Jacqueline Anderson | Overall ExperienceThey was really rude lied to me about my payment took all my stuff after I asked to come in and pay they called me a day before they sold everything I own and she lied and said she had been call was a lie because my phone been off for 30days
Shaquita Carter | Overall ExperienceExelente!! 10 meses, muy satisfecha con los servicios de UHAUL en gral. Gracias!!
Julisa Martinez | Overall ExperienceEveryone was professional and helpful
Jacqueline Anderson | First ImpressionsOnly issue I had was using the payment portal. The set-up is janky.
Susan Smith Ross | Overall ExperienceStaff went above customer service skills. Staff was excellent. Communication skills were awesome. This facility was the best that I’ve ever seen. My rating would be 10 out of 10. Thanks This store and staff ROCK.
Mary Jackson | First ImpressionsMy code was being denied access when put in but hopefully this should be fixed on my next visit.
Itzel Gaona | First ImpressionsFast, organized, clear process for me.
Brittany Sanders | First ImpressionsThe lady was really nice and polite at the front desk she gave me a extended 2 days after my payment day to get my things out and not be charged for a full month
candyce jones | Overall ExperiencePleasant staff. Accommodating.
JOHN STEAR | Overall ExperienceI was extremely pleased with the service provided by the team at U-Haul Moving & Storage at Southgate. Aisha and the team were friendly, responsive, and prompt, even though they always appeared to be extremely busy. The storage facility was clean, well lit and well maintained. They have a selection of carts to help with move-in & move-out. I would definitely recommend this facility to others, as it is a great space at a very good value. Thank you to everyone at Southgate!
Lori Sanders | Overall ExperienceGreat
Marty Thompson | Overall ExperienceThe manager was very helpful.
Douglas Mills | First ImpressionsPaul was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. He explained everything. I chose average vs. above average or excellent because the website does not let you know when a storage space is not available anymore. You can make a reservation but it’s not guaranteed because multiple people can reserve the same unit and you won’t be notified that you don’t really have a space until the day you go to secure it, which is the day you need it to be told, that day, that it’s not available. This should be corrected on the website ASAP! Otherwise I had a very good experience because things were explained to me. All I can say is don’t blame the folks at the local uhaul because it has to be fixed by the people upstairs.
Annie Maiden Gipson | First ImpressionsI would tell anyone to call haul first
Allen Lee | First ImpressionsThe gentleman at the Philo office was very pleasant and very helpful.
CRISTINE GOODLOW | First ImpressionsI originally reserved the smaller unit and confirmed it one day prior to the actual moving date. When I actually got there, I was told that the smaller unit was all taken. The only the larger one is available and the manager offered me a discount. If I only leased it during the summer, that would have been fine. But because of Covid, the unit was leased for 15 months more than the anticipated. My suggestion to you is not to lease the unit when you don’t have the unit. If you did, you should be able to honor it as the smaller unit price.
Cindy Chung | Overall ExperienceI think your staff works hard and deserves a pay raise.
Nancy Uchtmann | First ImpressionsHad a mouse in my unit . That urinated on my side table and took the finish off.
LAURIE SHEPPARD | Overall ExperienceThey were all amazing, so helpful, super nice, they had everything I needed when it comes to moving, I would recommend my family and friends here.
Moises Garcia | First ImpressionsVery clean and organized.
CLARK MORGAN | Overall ExperienceI worked with Jeremy he was kind and courteous and had a great sense of humor. The facilities are very clean and well maintained. The stafff are Great!
JoAnne Meyers Meyers | Overall ExperienceThe lady that I rented from was really helpful she did a great job
Richard Thompsen | First ImpressionsAisha & Jeremy were always so friendly and professional whenever contacted. They are a great asset to your team.
Bonnie Humphrey | Overall ExperienceAisha was great and very helpful with all of our truck rental and storage needs. Thank you!
Jacquelynne Kae BROSAM | First ImpressionsMy unit was infested with mice and roaches, the mice damaged my belongings and after speaking to several people nothing was done about my property. Uhaul was my first experience with a storage unit and the worst I will never put my belongings in Uhaul or any other storage facility and I most definitely would not refer your facility to any of my friends or family.
Ricky King | Overall ExperienceThey WERE VERY CURTIUOS, HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL
BRUCE CARTER | First ImpressionsEach time I have been to this store it has always been great staff and service!
JoAnne Meyers Meyers | First ImpressionsGreat help and service. Thanks!!!
MARK BURNS | First ImpressionsVery nice place, can facilitate all your moveing needs with a 1 stop shop full service and well stocked. Highly recommend!
SAMUEL BECKETT | Overall ExperienceIt was a smooth process!
mark cabutti | Overall ExperienceNo problems. I wish my storage space was less expensive since I am a senior citizen.
Nancy Uchtmann | First ImpressionsSalesman very knowledgeable and nice and helped me quickly.
Shannon Williams | First ImpressionsStaff was very accommodating! Nice, clean facilities.
jonathan true | Overall ExperienceGreat experience - gentleman was very nice when I got the unit as I was very emotional due to personal reasons. Helped me get a deal as well. The only complaint is rodent pee on some of my things.
Allie Huddleston | Overall ExperienceStaff could be nicer
Caio Albernaz Siqueira | Overall ExperienceAisha was super helpful! Great service overall, too
Diana Bikbaeva | Overall ExperienceVery clean units and property. lots of carts available for use. We were in a bind and looking for a specific unit size and when one became available the front desk staff called me and told me. I would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.
Bryan Delgado | Overall ExperienceI really loved the facility.
donnetta Davis | Overall ExperienceThough the staff was friendly, they failed when it came to informing me how my monthly payments would work. Therefore, in spite of how clean, safe, and accessible the unit was, I am still frustrated that I ended up having to pay a late fee for my storage unit. When I did the initial paperwork in the office, I understood that I was signing up for automatic payments. I also never received a bill by email or postal mail in advance of my monthly payment date. It was incredibly frustrating to find out that I'd incurred a penalty fee after the fact. Whether or not the misunderstanding about autopay was strictly my fault, it is poor customer service not to send a notice in advance of a monthly charge. All other companies provide this courtesy. I feel that I was taken advantage of by UHaul, and will not be recommending UHaul storage to friends and family.
Sarah Storti | Overall ExperienceAisha went above and beyond when the purchased lock broke. Great service!
Teresa Barnes | First ImpressionsThe storage unit is spacious, clean, and easy to access. In addition, the lighted location on Philo Road adds an important safety factor. My only disappointment was with the intake staff person who conveyed some impatience or unhappiness, spoke too quickly and seemed to resent my need for clarification and instructions, avoided eye contact, walked ahead of me to the check-in area, and gave the check-in key card and lock to my friend, rather than to me. This dampened my enthusiasm, but I was otherwise glad to find this unit nearby (and without a fee for the first month because I had driven a U-Haul Cargo Van to Urbana from Galesburg, Illinois, as part of my relocation plan.
Nancy Loch | First ImpressionsWhen I opened my unit there were rat traps and dead roaches everywhere. I understand the rat traps as a precautionary measure but I was very worried about the dead roaches. I asked an employee to sweep them out and he did! However, I am still very uneasy about leaving my belongings there in the event that more bugs are there. Additionally, my access code for the building only worked if I did it 2-3 times which was quite frustrating.
Stephanie Taylor | Online Move InBEST CAREING THOUGHFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE YOULL EVER. GOD BLESS THIS GROUP AND COMPANY. THANKS FROM CATHY CHUCK BECKY AND CALEB BOOZER. THE BOOZERS THAT DONT 🍸 THIS GROUP IS ON PHILO ROAD IN URBANA.ILL
Cathy Booser | First ImpressionsThe staff did a great job and was always helpful.
Richard Ambrose | Overall ExperienceI recommend that local friends use U-Haul Moving & Storage At Southgate when they have moving or storage needs because I have gotten the best U-Haul experience through them.
casey reynolds | First ImpressionsEveryone was friendly and efficient!
mark cabutti | First ImpressionsBest store I have ever dealt with. Cleanest store as well. Excellent people , product and service A+++
Neal Gallo | Overall ExperienceThough I only used it for a few months, it was exceptionally clean. Security was tight. Staff was very helpful for both the starting and ending.
John Healy | Overall Experience🔥 I called, I forgot who, at around 4;30 PM on March 31, 2021 to see if there was a way to check online if my unit was locked because I had left town and wanted to triple check. The homie who was working there checked it for me and gave a call back promptly. Surprised to find service like that anywhere. Big ups to that staff. Also, though I had to pay more, the staff helped me change my unit to another one since the one I was given smelled like urine. Two of the staff (one was Asian and the other Hispanic, I forgot their names) made the whole thing a good experience
Dong Gue Lee | First ImpressionsThere was water in my unit when we went to retrieve our goods. My temperpedic king size mattress and box springs were destroyed along with some soggy ‘wooden’ shelving units and other items. We will be making a claim
Thomas Mc Mahon | Overall ExperienceThe guys there were awesome . The place was clean as a whistle . Great people there . Knowledgeable , friendly and happy and quick
Neal Gallo | First ImpressionsAisha was excellent with all the information and helping us book a storage unit. The customer service at the counter was great and courteous. Very helpful with directions to the storage unit and access code panel. Great experience overall.
Sunil Shah | First ImpressionsI absolutely loved the associate who assisted me. There was so much going on at the time being that he was the only one working, but he handled the store with such elegance and grace. I will be returning!
Bria Adams | First ImpressionsThe initial rental process was a bit of a mess, as I was initially assigned a different size than I asked for, and my billing info was entered wrong. Once I got that all fixed everything was fine from then on.
Paige Danielle | Overall ExperienceOnline reservation are confusing because they are not guaranteed. My storage unit had a rodent trap as well supporting pole blocking some of the space so I am not getting full use of the space. I will be calling uhaul and complaining about this. I will also warn students on social media about this particular unit #1133.
Stephanie Graham | Online Move InFriendly staff will use this place again
kingsley agyarko | First ImpressionsJeremy has made both of my experiences with your facility very smooth. He puts the c back in customer service! Kudos!!
jonathan true | First ImpressionsI was extremely emotional during my move and they were so patient. They even cut me a deal to help during this process.
Allie Huddleston | First ImpressionsExcellent!!
Lisa Watson | Overall ExperienceThank you for helping to keep my things safe over these past two years. Never experienced any issues from this location, and I really appreciate the leniency shown the few times I was late with payments. Y’all are the best and please stay safe!
LaDarius DuPree | Overall Experience215 had mice in it that damage some clothes.
Kurt Wodrich | Overall ExperienceThe crew,especially Aisha were very helpful, professional and did an excellent job with my experience over the past 6-7 months. I rented 2 storage units, 3-4 truck rentals and even had a damage claim, all of which were handled tremendously well. Thank you Best Paul
Gerard Paul Foote | Overall ExperienceJeremy was super helpful! If I ever find myself in central Illinois come this lifetime, and need to store away my items, without hesitation I’d come back to your storage facilities.
GRANT HAUGEN | Overall ExperienceOnly the manager could help me and she was on the phone with another customer for over 15 minutes. I was running late to meet my movers which was a little stressful, but the overall customer service was still very good.
Tamara Markstahler | First ImpressionsThe African that talk so lowwwwwwwwwwwwww needs to speak up and be more friendly, or go back to where they act just like him at the end....
Wendy Adams | Overall ExperienceEverybody was friendly at both places and the and the girls that helped me when we got started on U-Haul Kimberly and Minnesota and I think Jessica and Michigan each time I called they would direct me to the right direction to get what I needed to get done thank you very much U-Haul appreciate i
Timothy Work | First ImpressionsThank you all for having available storage in a great time of desperate need. Thank you for your kindness and proper etiquettes I’m grateful
Nandi Chendori | Overall ExperienceI didn't like the limited access hours nor did I like the online pay (it was always inaccurate).
brian marshall | Overall ExperienceBoth employees who I talked to for move in and move out were so friendly and kind! Definitely recommend using this location. Everything is streamlined and easy to follow and they are welcoming if you have any questions!
Savannah Carter | Overall ExperienceDo not post my name if you are planning to share on your website. Thank you.
Cynthia Cabrera | Overall ExperienceManger was very polite and explained everything very through.
Richard Kelly | First ImpressionsThe worker that helped me was in a bad mood both times I came to the office for help. They should not be working in customer service! The facility was not well lit either.
Mario Portillo-Swails | Overall ExperienceJeremy was excellent providing world class top notch service and accommodating all of our needs
Bruce Stewart | Overall ExperienceI hate a $200 storage trunk clothes blankets towels all of these things were stolen out of my locker I am not happy not satisfied they are telling me that no one could have possibly gotten into my storage but somebody did and I'm not happy at all Would not recommend you guys to anybody
Taija Page | Overall ExperienceI would recommend uhaul storage simply because the first month was free with use of a truck. My overall impression wasn't great, though. My access code to arm/disarm the alarm never worked and the alarm sounded every time I opened my unit. Service was slow and communication with uhaul reps vague. I wasn't able to move into my unit on the day scheduled because a uhaul rep failed to book my moving truck for the correct time, and when I had to pick up the truck at 6 they didn't inform me that offices closed at 7. I was frustrated and disappointed with the lack of basic communication.
Amanda Hamilton | Overall ExperienceAisha was very helpful
ARUN SIVAKUMAR | First ImpressionsGreat manager
alexander makedon | First ImpressionsI used the facility a few years ago and it was well maintained then and I am glad to say it is still very well kept. Glad I was able to obtain a suitable unit for my needs this time too. Thanks!
brenda smith | First ImpressionsFriendly, helpful staff! A wonderful and clean storage facility to rent from. I would gladly recommend them to anyone! Thanks!
Ann Stokr | Overall ExperienceYou have the best storage facility in the C-U area and beyond! Thank you!
Jean Driscoll | Overall ExperienceLove the Staff. Facility excellent
Julie Weller | First ImpressionsThis storage facility is clear, secure, and well maintained. The facility manager and staff are very helpful and friendly. The facility has carts for moving things around, which provide convenience.
yanyan wang | Overall ExperienceThe customer service from the front counter clerk was atrocious and I would rate this as poor if it weren't for the facility manager who rectified the debacle created by her employee. Recommend booking the reservation online and paying for it online or plan ahead and go to the Champaign location
Tanya Killian | Online Move InI was referred to the Southgate location after stopping at the Champaign U-Haul and was told by a polite gentleman that they were sold out of storage units. I arrived at Southgate and the older male behind the counter offered to assist after the store manager had to call him to return to the front counter while she assisted other customers. I requested a 5x5 but was told they were sold out and the only other option was a 10x10, which was double the price. I told him that I only needed to store a few items from my daughter’s dorm room that were in my small SUV just until August 22nd. The store manager told him that he could give me one of the 5x10 units that was reserved but he ignored her. I asked if I can wait for the store manager to handle but he insisted that she would tell me the same so I proceeded to reserve the 10x10 for nearly $400 and no free lock if I reserved it online. I asked if they could accept $299 since they had a bunch of 10x10 units open and no smaller ones but he said we don’t barter. I told him to cancel the transaction so I could proceed to reserve it online only to find that I could reserve the 5x10 unit and pay for it plus receive the free lock. The male then huffed and asked if I was asking him to cancel the transaction that he just entered for the past 15 mins as if I didn’t lose 15 mins of my time and he wasn’t still getting paid to talk about his life in San Diego. I said yes! Then the store manager turned to him and politely said “that’s what I said you could do for her earlier”. Needless to say, this would be a poor rating of it weren’t for the store manager and I would highly suggest you place reservations and pay for them online in order to avoid being up sold and overspending
Tanya Killian | Overall ExperienceExtremely easy to complete the entire process online.
Megan Bakaitis | Online Move InGreat service! Quick , helpful , highly recommend !

Shawn Rodriguez | Overall ExperienceWater leaked into my unit and employees deliberately reboxed and hid water damage from me. When I went to get my stuff, everything I owned was covered in mold/mildew. It was revolting and devastating.
sarah harris | Overall ExperienceWater leaked into my unit and all over my things. I was never notified of the issue by Uhaul personnel. When I came to get my things, much of my property was destroyed & clothes had mildew/mold

Clifford Questel | First ImpressionsIn just 5 weeks here our unit was over-run by mice! It was disgusting. They would not let us move out with an insurance claim pending but they kept charging us for the unit. Communication very poor.
Kelsey Ross | Overall ExperienceStorage unit is convenient and clean. Rental process was more lengthy than I think it should have been, with the staff member maybe not so familiar with the computer procedure as he might have been.
RACHEL GUSHEE | First ImpressionsI booked a storage through online to secure my spot. However, they told me space is first come first serve even if I reserved it through online, which does not make sense at all.

kiera williams gray | Overall ExperienceReservation for a storage unit was incredibly screwed up & it was impossible to reach anyone by phone as every time I called I was placed on hold so long I gave up. Ended up cancelling my reservation.
Alexa Roberts | ReservationThe staff ignored my reservation and told me that there was no storage room in my desired size available. I also added insurance in my order but it seemed like they didn’t care about it either.
