I paid an environmental fee for what it was paperless. The hole transactions paperless, so why would I get charged to fee? I booked for 9 o'clock in the morning. However, I got there at 20 mins to 9 am and I had to wait until 10 mins after 9 for someone to be present to take my information and give me a key for the van.

Interior of the truck was covered in coffee stains The app was not good at all, kept getting unavailable notifications when using the app. Man running the location was very helpful, and answered the phone when needed.

Truck was an absolute mess. It was old. Not sure why did the location alloted the old truck when they'd 3 similar trucks sitting idle (at morning when I picked up and the same 3 trucks standing as is in the evening during drop off). Very disappointed.

I was charged for a dolly that was not included in the vehicle. I had to call the customer service line for EVERYTHING in order to get the rental completed, it took over an hour and a half to get the vehicle. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had wth your company, and will never rent from a location like this again.

Everything was fine but the truck definitely has some mechanical problems such as the transmission is smoked and shifts hard an way too high and the U-Joints on the driveshaft sound like they're going to blow out. It cost me $55 in gas to drive 134,8 kms! That's not cool. Just letting you know that something is wrong with that truck.

When we showed up, the employee told us he couldn't find the key to the tru k we had reserved. After looking for a few minutes he came back and said he found the keys but the truck won't start. He offered to call another location to see if they had that size truck available (15ft). I told him we had people showing up at out house in 10 minutes to help us move so that wouldn't work. I asked what size they had available so we had to go with a 10ft truck. Because of that, instead of it only taking 2 trips to move our things, it took 4. That increased the amount of time it took us to move as well as the amount of kms we used. If you're going to rent equipment out that people are obviously needing at the time they requested, you need to make sure things are in working order prior. I have family moving in the next month and they have said they will not use this location after the issue we had.

Original website gave the impression that representative would be there between certain hours! Maybe more clear that this is completely online. And in fact we couldn't complete on line and called for assistance, that went perfect.

The 24/7 online pick-up/drop-off is convenient, but not during very cold weather, or any extreme weather in general. Having to use my mobile device in the cold weather with fingers exposed became very painful by the time I got my keys (these are the types of days I would wish there was a front desk check-in; at least you can be inside until the process is complete). Vehicles appear well maintained, as I didn't experience any problems with the driving (took some getting used to, as even a small van can feel like you're driving a large truck or bus). Cleanliness is about average, but considering what these trucks and vans are typically used for, it is pretty good. I did find a little bit of garbage in the driver's side door left behind from the last user (again, having a staffed office so that personnel can at least give the vehicles a quick vacuum and wipe would be helpful - not expecting Enterprise Rent-a-Car clean, but at least so you are not finding evidence of the next user).

I gave them 1 months notice and they decided to tell me the day before my booking that the location did not have my specified vehicle so I had to go to a different location. Was not told that new location was closed and had to switch to online check in. I have never had a good experience with U-Haul. Sadly they have a monopoly on the moving van business so I have no choice if I need to rent something.

The process of adding a second driver onto the app was quite long and tedious. We had a lot of difficulty doing it, and so did the person who was helping us.

Tell them you have raised your prices so they don't get an unexpected 150 dollar bill.

Truck smelled so bad, I felt like throwing up. I'm glad it was a short trip. Also the check in progress did not allow me to upload pictures, kept looping on the upload. Otherwise the experience was fine.

I went to this location because it said it opened and I was able to pick up at 8am, this is not true. I waited until 8:05am called and no answer. Called again at 8:15am no answer. As I was leaving there was a man and some athletes at the gym, and I asked him if he worked at the U-Haul, he said no but he would try to help me. He did got me the van and did everything he needed to, to get me going and I left at 8:30am approx.. Just to mention there were 3 other people waiting for help and after speaking to the man that helped, he said "she as in the employee" doesn't get there until 9:00am - 9:30am. I came back at 12:40pm and again no one working. I needed the invoice and copy of the bill for work, again called no answer. I left a message for them to send the invoice and didn't receive a call back but at least I got my invoice. Over all the worst experience, and I will say U-Haul never had great customer service nor did it have terrible customer service. The best part of this experience at this location was by someone that didn't even work there. Please update your hours, if you have a business show up on time or at all, answer your phone, and the van itself said low tire pressure which I got air for and there was an smell that wasn't too pleasant.

You need to inform your customers for all fees in advance, Hour fees not informed in advance so i was charged every fees doubled ( initial fee and the insurance fee because I returned the equipment 4 hours later and ı could rent the equipment later than the reserved time cause the employee wasnt at the office in time

Pick up and drop off was hassle free and efficient. Location is very convenient. Will definitely use again.

The desk was unmanned for near on 2 hours so we couldn’t ask for help with getting the keys out when the website inevitably didn’t work, The van was dusty and needs a good oiling in the door hinges, and the pricing is insane, we’ll rent from Home Depot next time

Doesn’t seem to be any steady hours there, so you may or may not get a person working there.

The attendant was watching a show and could not be communicated with for 15 minutes. I did not want to yell or bang on the wall and was left waiting due to it.

I didn't want to do self serve but there was no one there. They told me that there would be someone there for drop off but there wasn't. Not happy.. the first lock code they gave me didn't work and I had to get a different truck.

Great service from the agent who served us with honesty, full diligence, maturity and a sincere smile in helping us in our needs. Recently my Visa & Bank account suffered a debit intrusion of which I had to cancel my Visa and had no way of moving to my new home in Sunderland Ontario. I was treated with respect when she allowed payment with cash which I am forever grateful in the allowing this cuz most companies don't and I work in Radio media/Film and Television and going to recommend UHAUL for treating me with decency and offered an alternative.

Very easy location to park and to find the trucks. Lockboxs visible and no problem to get the keys. Staff was friendly when needed for help.

What a great experience, following a negative one. I was supposed to drop the truck off at a different location but wasn't able to. The 311 Brock St location went well out of their way to make sure I was able to check my truck in. The owner provided personalized and friendly service and I would recommend going there over any of the other locations in the area. Thank you :)

I had a lot of issues with the remote pick-up/drop-off. the pictures would not upload and then when they did, the site would not continue. I evenually had to get help from the office for pick-up, but they were closed for drop-off.

The only difficulty was checking in because we did the online check in and it still took a while. The person at the front desk, no fault of his own, was new and had to be guided through the entire process so this also took a while and we were on a bit of a time crunch. But overall the returning of the van was fairly smooth and the van itself was in excellent condition.

I was charged $16 for some type of coverage that I was not made aware of. The receipt should be given to the customer if not at least explain all the charges. I could not check the invoice until the next day on my email, and that is when I realized I was charged the $16 that I still don't know what was for. I emailed the UHaul based on the email provided on the contract asking for an explanation and did not hear back at all. If it was for insurance, it should be optional as my car insurance has coverage for rentals. I was not explained about that charge at all. If I was to recommend UHaul to a friend, I will have to explain to them that the rental fee is not $19,95 but it is $35.95.

They charged me for fuel when I had filled up before I returned it. They are thieves.

As mentioned in an earlier review, the fuel charge I received was not warranted. I drove 23 kilometres , put in over $10 of gas and was still charged $22 for fuel. It appears that the fuel gauge reading was incorrect. I would like a refund of this charge.
