The brakes on this trailer were NOT adjusted properly. The brakes did not turn on. At All. My truck tried to fishtail every time i hit the brakes. the trailer weighs 3500 lbs. the car on the trailer weighs 3500 lbs. for a total of 7000 lbs . My truck weighs 4400 lbs. Working trailer brakes are REQUIRED for safety. I told the workers at this location that the trailer brakes were not working. They replied " See that cable? the trailer brakes are for Emergency only. If the trailer detaches from the truck, that cable activates the brakes." Which is NOT TRUE. The trailer brakes should work whenever you hit the truck brakes. Please fix this, UHaul. !!

The staff was amazing but the process and software to validate your identity on pickup was cumbersome and time consuming. It took twice as long when it would have been quicker to do it with a person

Windows were dirty. Cab floor looked clean but around floor mat edges and underneath seats it was dirty. The engine noise was very loud. The AC turned off when going over bumps in the road. The truck pulled to the right, and it took extra effort to stay in the lane - indicating an alignment is needed. The mileage was nowhere close to the 10 mpg advertised (more like 8 mpg, and truck was only 3/4 loaded). No matter how I drove, getting above 3 bars on the mpg indicator was only possible when coasting. Maybe truck needs a tune-up….? Side view mirrors had limited adjustability requiring me to constantly lean forward to get a good view.

I can't speak highly enough of Dale at Falls Church U-Haul. I switched to a 5x8 trailer at the last minute, and in the confusion, I drove off before Dale could check the tail lights and take a picture of the hitch setup. He tried to get my attention and tried to call me (but it's an old number on my account). Upon returning, Dale was still friendly but worried about getting into trouble for my mistake since there wasn't a photo of the hitch setup. Dale and the Falls Church team are so important to us that I didn't want to cause trouble for my mistake. Dale is the epitome of friendliness and professionalism, and he is one of the reasons that I use the Falls Church location. The whole Falls Church team, Brandon and Jevelle, are friendly and great. I'm a big U-Haul fan and have had many rentals over the years. This time, I just forgot to wait. My apologies to Dale and the team!

The app process to get a vehicle was onerous, hardly functioned, and was very, very frustrating. Especially, when I’m at your office and the attendant is standing there, but can’t do anything to change the situation.

Pick up for trailers was unclear. Staff seemed to be on a short fuse, but I got what I needed. Not happy that I had to buy an adapter to use the trailer. I thought your trailers had 7 pin connectors.

I knew that the UHaul app was poorly designed, so I said I would like to use the front desk to pick up my UHaul. However when I arrived at the front desk, there was no one there despite being business hours. I waited for ten minutes. When someone finally did show up, they just made me use the app anyway, saying that they were too understaffed to actually help me. The app crashed multiple times and several features didn't work right. Overall it took 45 minutes just to pick up the van. This location is so incredibly understaffed. It's almost comical how bad the pickup experience was.

Picking up the truck was a hassle since the uhaul app didn't work. Everytime I asked the front counter clerk to help me they wouldn't help until I was extremely aggravated since the app wouldn't work. It shouldn't take 30+ minutes to just grab the keys and go...

I had an incredibly disheartening experience with. The level of unprofessionalism I encountered was astonishing, particularly from the person who was working at the detailing shop and the person working at counter customer service From the onset, the individual who was at the detailing shop was not only dismissive but crossed the line into outright almost aggression. His demeanor was not just off-putting but verged on threatening, creating an atmosphere of discomfort and unease. Such behavior is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the company's hiring standards and the training provided to its employees. Equally disappointing was the interaction with the person at the counter. Instead of being greeted with the expected professionalism and courtesy, I was met with rudeness and an evident lack of interest in assisting with my concerns. It's bewildering that a business, especially one in the service industry, would allow such behavior towards customers. This experience has left a lasting impression, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. I had expected UHAUL to uphold a standard of professionalism and customer service. Instead, I was subjected to an ordeal that no customer should ever have to endure. It's imperative that this location reassess its staff training programs and take immediate steps to address these egregious lapses in customer service. I cannot, in good faith, recommend UHAUL at this location to anyone seeking moving services, given the disrespect and the lack of professionalism and courtesy displayed by your employees.

My comment is on the equipment, not the personnel that worked at location. The enclosed trailer, “AV 3607 L” (5,x8’) had water all over the floor after it rained. Everything that was wet.

The trucks are in good condition. The staff is very unprofessional. Not helpful and rude. When I returned the truck the gentleman was smoking a cigarette and when I asked him to check me out and give me a receipt he said i had to wait an hour. I will not rent from this location again.

The location is under staffed. The one person working the front area, a guy named bill, was great, but too many customers on a Saturday morning for one guy. Fix the app so it works easily. The staff person had to help every customer with it. Bad UI. Unreliable.

I use uhaul often for business all over the country. I prefer not to use the online pickup service due to certain company protocols I do not agree with. Upon trying to pickup a truck, I was told that I had to use the online pickup service and they would not release my reserved truck in person because it was a new company policy to only release online, although it was the method I chose when making the reservation. In the end they released the truck as I requested through an associate. It took 40 min to do so, when it should have only taken 5min. This caused me to be late to the job, which cost me money. Really wish there was an easy way for repeat customers to pickup trucks with minimal hassle. Maybe Uhaul could create verified accounts, instead of verifying an account every time one rents?

I had a great experience. The gentleman that helped me was very knowledgeable and professional. The one part I did not understand was why I needed to put my credit card information in when I scheduled the pickup online only to find out I had not paid. It didn't make sense to me. Perhaps I missed a disclaimer somewhere in the process.

Customer service was extremely lacking. Default was to not help the customer but just tell us to use the app. Then would proceed to bark orders at us when the app didn’t work as intended. Very inefficient at getting customers processed and out the door.

Gas gauge was broken, showed 3/4 when I picked it up, and never moved. Luckily I didn’t get stuck filling the whole tank, actually got a ‘50 miles to E’ notification after only putting 36 miles on the truck and when renting online they show u one price per mile ($1.39) but then I had to pay a “weekend” mileage charge. ($1.79) that the returning agent just laughed off…we really had to slam the doors closed to get them to close…the facility doesn’t have much parking and don’t let u leave a car. Aside from all that Brandon was super helpful when checking out and a true professional.

The guys working there were great, but it was frustrating to have to use the website to enter all my information when it would have been so much easier and quicker to have them check me in. I understand that you want things to be more automated so you don't have to have as much staff, but my time is valuable and it used to be much quicker to pickup and drop off.

I had a mechanic problem with the truck about the fuel. When I did pick up the truck was 1/4 tank. I drove to Washington DC and repently the tank was empty, but I did see the check engine light was on so I did put $25 of gas but the gas check never moved up. So I did told the guy on this location that it was a problem mechanic. He did thanks but he did not report the problem. Now i did received a charge of $30 for not fuel the tank. That us not okay. Because is not my fault that the truck has mechanical problems. So please I need my $30 back.

The checkin system is annoying. It took me almost 30minutes to fill out. When I rent a vehicle, I want to reserve it and pick it up. I didn’t plan on doing uhauls paperwork for them. A U-Haul employee should fill out all of this paperwork.

When I was returning the vehicle, the return lane at the rear of the building was blocked by an outbound truck that was being prepped. That was confusing so I just sat there awaiting help from a person. A staff member eventually came over and directed me to park to the side. There should be a well-marked return lane that is clear and available or, at the very least, signage directing drivers to alternative parking spaces.

No parking available to leave your own car while on a day rental and no advice on where we can park legally. Very inconvenient. Insufficient staff to handle load of people picking up vehicles in morning on weekend. Took an hour to get vehicle. All people who tried to use app were not successful. Limited staff worked hard and tried best but too long delay. Truck in good condition and worked well.
