It would be really nice if you had parking for my car. I have to confess. Everyone was very nice but next time if I cannot find parking for my car I will look for another location.

There was no furniture dolly in my van or utility dolly. Had to find one in a shed. Still got charged for it

No drop box for keys at this location No attendant at place Dropping off at 9am on a Thursday Waited for 20 min Locked keys in car

Évaluation :

Not good service, was given a dented and broken van that made packing the van an inconvenience

Évaluation :

I reserved a cart and dolly. They didn't have either but would not credit my account. Said I needed to contact corporate. That shouldn't be my headache.

Front desk guy was amazing but the truck was not in top shape for a long haul. Exhaust leak and is 2025 and no cruise control on a 500+ haul insane. With the prices of rental at least keep the equipment up to date

We rent a lot of U-Hauls — previously always used Takoma Park. Looks like we found a new home.

The online check in can be inefficient. The staff were great.

Customer service was very poor, delayed in problem solving, they pick me on hold several times

Évaluation :

My UHaul engine overheated while driving and I was put in a dangerous situation on the side of the highway and had to wait an hour and a half for someone to come check and repair the truck. He confirmed there was NO coolant in the truck and there were no leaks, which means it wasn't safe to be driving. This caused massive delays in my move and then I was charged extra for it.

Évaluation :

Manager was incredibly rude and aggressive and not helpful in helping answer questions or provide assistance.

Shenita at the front desk and Alvin at check in were both patient and kind as I navigated my first rental in a very long time. Van worked out fine and was much easier and more affordable than I had worried it would be - will definitely rent again soon!!

1

Spent an HOUR trying to find the key drop off box, even after calling the 24/7 line. The box is located on the opposite side of the dominion energy building. Almost too many uhauls to fit ours in. Terrible experience.

Évaluation :

4

There was a little uncertainty as to where the truck I rented was parked - so I had to look for it by license plate number.

Évaluation :

5

Alvin was the staff person who received us upon arrival. He showed us how to access the app on our phones so that check in was very mouth. Very friendly and capable.

Évaluation :

4

Better signage from the street to enter the place

Évaluation :

2

The location had very confusing instructions and the after hour key drop off was very hard to find. There was no clear place to unload and leave the moving materials.

Évaluation :

1

The checkin and checkout were separately but similarly awful. I didn't want to do everything on an app and it added so much unnecessary time at the beginning and end. Especially at checkout, it was so unnecessary for me to do everything and take all the pictures when there was an employee there who could have just visually verified everything for me. Waste of my time and unprofessional. The company may be trying to save money on personnel but as a customer I'm clearly not saving any money from the company's cost cutting and unprofessionalism.

The friendly staff says it all on Capital Hill.

Évaluation :

My only issue is that one time I reserved a unit, and the day I came to use it, it had been given to someone else.

Évaluation :

3

The check in process is horrible. Licenses should be verified before making reservations not when picking up. Also, for DC locations, the geography of the area means this location could be the most convenient for Virginia/Maryland drivers. There should be some kind of agreement. The check in process took so long that it went 35 minutes into my reservation, which threw off all my other reservations.

Évaluation :

Cynthia was amazing. I had some issues and she was able to sort it out asap. Loved her friendliness and professional demeanor all while trying to keep angry customers happy!

Évaluation :

5

Good customer service. Efficient check-in and out

Évaluation :

4

The windshield was dirty and the windshield washer fluid was empty or not functioning. The app is beyond frustrating to use. I should be able to scan my license when I place the rental order not at the last moment when I am in the dark and it is freezing cold. In fact I loaded my license the last time I rented so I should not have to do it again. And the app implied I just needed to lock the van and drop off the keys. It was only after I left that it got around to loading another window asking for milage and fuel level, etc. Check out ZipCar for a well done app.

Évaluation :

Excellent accommodations & understanding associates

Even though there were 3-4 people working behind the counter, none helped me check into the rental, even though I had chosen "Pick up at Counter" when making my reservation. They required I checked in with the U-Haul QR code. There is littler service in the building and it took a very long time to complete this process. Then, when we got to the van finally, there were 3-5 inches of snow all over the van. We had to find a broom and remove all of the snow so we could safely drive. Then, when we tried to start our drive (after taking photos of the van), the tire pressure was low. It took another 10 minutes to have someone fix our tire pressure. When returning the car, we were instructed that we had to use the app to check-in, even though there was a man working. The app is absolutely atrocious, and force quit on me twice. It took over 15 minutes to check the van back in. This was not a good experience at all.

Better people for customer service, and im talking about the call center! Most trucks and vans are not clean and damaged. Was charged more than i should

Awesome staff!

Évaluation :

I don't know where to start - the staff was rude. The front desk wouldn't check me in. She made me use the mobile check-in, which I hate because the process is so bad on a mobile device. I specifically select counter check in when I reserve a truck, because I know how bad the mobile check in is. That didn't matter - she made me do it on my phone and stared at me while I did everything on my and struggled. Every time I had a question she seemed mad that I asked something. Too busy talking to her colleague about getting breakfast and her baby, which was apparently in the showroom storage unit behind her?!? The truck was FILTHY - the interior was covered in a sticky substance, huge holes in the seats, gas cap was broken, visor broken - I could go on forever. Staff on the lot made me go into a storage shed and get the dolly and furniture pads I paid for in advance - didn't bother to help, just pointed me to the shed and told me to get it myself. I've rented from Uhaul for years, and I don't expect a lot, but this was comically bad. I wish I could give negative stars.

Évaluation :

The route from arriving to the station all the way to leaving with the truck is confusing. Where should I start? Where should I continue?

I was really in a time crunch and had not completed the online process. The manager, female, whose name begins with J assisted me. I was out of there in a few minutes with a truck first in line ready to go. When I came back, the young man in the lot juggled me with another customer. But similar, he was friendly and helpful, and I was out of there in a minute.

It was difficult getting truck into lot due to vehicles blocking entrance.

They did not leave the key to my rental - I had to call helpline to get assistance 45 minutes later I got a rental, but a smaller one that was barely big enough The girl who was working in office upon return was very nice and helpful

Évaluation :

Renting a truck for a few hours should be simple. You have gone out of your way to make sure that the process is not simple. Nice people at the desk, but long, drawn out, app infused system, that makes renting a car look like walking across the street. Geographically, your location is convenient. But, because of your uncomfortable process, I will go elsewhere and tell others the same.

Évaluation :

Nice, clean, easy pickup. BUT, they are charging me &96 for padding I did not request and was never given. I did not ask for or need padding. Pick up was self help, so no one showed me to the truck or opened it up - which would have shown NO PADS WERE IN THE TRUCK. However, Hours after I returned the truck I received the charge for failing to return pads I never received?!.

The agent that assisted me was great and professional and explained everything well. Upon my return the gentleman outside was very supportive, helpful and courteous. I appreciate the level of support that was given to me in my haste.

Évaluation :

I did self check-in. It was a little cumbersome and confusing. After doing the mobile check-in and photos, you still have to go to the office to get the keys. The agents were very nice and quick at getting keys, etc. Return was very easy. This location is very convenient! Would definitely rent here again!

Évaluation :

The charges is crazy

Évaluation :

I had a good experience. Truck was ready to go, worked well. I had ordered furniture pads and dolley to be in the truck. I called the night prior to ask if I needed to check in or if they would be in the truck; was assured that they would be in the truck. They were not in the truck. I should have checked before leaving. otherwise good experience

Stop Scamming!

Évaluation :

It took me an hour to rent vehicle. No one was at counter but me! Terrible rental experience. The vehicle was shabby!

Évaluation :

The real issue I had was with the charges. What was the $30 fueling fee about? A rental advertised as $355 cost over $500 due to numerous junk fees. Next time I will look harder at alternatives.

Évaluation :

I’ve had challenging moving experiences in the past and the experience this time at this location was seamless and a great start to a busy couple days across half the country

Évaluation :

1

The 10 foot truck I reserved and confirmed in person the day prior wasn't there when I came for pickup. I had to call the help line and they found me a 15 foot truck (too big for my parking spot but I had to take it). They gave me the code...and it had been put in wrong in the lockbox, so I had to find an employee to open the master lock. It took 45 minutes just to get the wrong truck, and then it had not even a quarter tank of gas and had to be filled up, which is terrifying in downtown DC in a truck way longer than you'd planned on having. So I was late and in the wrong vehicle, which was scary and not what I wanted. I would never use this location again.

Great staff and thanks for your help!

I had some issues with accessing the storage unit after hours. The manager was nice enough to give me a refund. I want to also add that the service from everyone that I encounter was top-notch my friend and I were talking about how impress we were because our past experiences haven't great. But this location is doing something right. The staff are amazing.

Need better supervisors and also better communication skills, talking to customers and Delilah customers also let them know that understand the rules and regulations of the storage unit instead of giving them a contract. Also be mining them how the business is run. Sometimes people forget what you supposed to be doing at the U-Haul so yes, I put this score as a reason is because leadership and comprehension and understanding and communication is the key of business and also leadership for business consultant solutions for other business who want to come and use the storage unit as a business or as a customer, it was actually poor but it's OK. I know what to do for now I'm learning my life is new everybody learn something so learning.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with this location - I am honestly sad I don't need to store anything anymore because they were so great to work with. Every single member of the team was helpful, friendly and proactive in making sure I was taken care of. This "above-and-beyond" level of service was especially appreciated as I am currently living halfway across the country. I would recommend this location to anyone in the DMV who needs storage and if I need a storage unit again I will be coming back here. Thank you!!!!

The front staff person was rude, cursed, was watching a training video and generally acting like everything was my fault even though he had to call someone to ask how to do literally everything. Worst customer experience I have had in a long time!

Uhaul has a great, modern customer service business model. Their online platform let's you easily start/stop a storage rental and do a self check out of boxes in the store. Amazing. Saved me a bunch of time. When I needed personal help I I quickly got to speak with a helpful person in the store.

Évaluation :

Wayne & his team are not only friendly and helpful but also awesome problem solvers! I will most definitely continue to use them as my first choice for anything hauling related, but I will tell all my friends to do the same. And I recommend them to everyone! Thanks again!!!

All three of your your workers at 26 K street went above and beyond to accommodate me I was so happy I handicapped and they helped me so much and you have a great team together they work well and they were training a young man step by step from the computer to the floor that young man was professional and very eager to learn the computer and help me!

Like most everything it's expensive. I don't like having a rat feeding station in my locker. Nothing like giving the rats an invite to come in. Better places to put them

The employee who helped me on duty that Fay was extremely helpful and just plain nice. He went above and beyond in helping me with the cargo trailer and the rental process. He deserves a raise and a promotion …

Everything went well except for the garage loading door being broken. That was really annoying for move-in. Other than that, all good. Clean, cool, nice staff

For the price, the unit was small. I felt nickeled and dimed. The parking situation was impossible.

Évaluation :

3

I interacted with you office staff twice; getting the unit and closing the unit rental. The staff that assisted me, two different persons, acted like I was "bothering" them. Is not what they said or what they did, it was their attitude. Their tone of voice was like they were mad, like they hated being there. They are the face of your company, the one I prefer for my moving and storage needs. I don't need pleasantries or even greetings; but, I don't need to feel like I'm a burden to you. I'm the customer! The paying customer. Based on this experience I'll never use U-Haul services in DC.

It is my first time requiring uhaul services, it was late and it almost close for regular busines hours which compel me to get the "24 hours access service" which by the way I just needed for that particular day the 27th of jul. I needed to storage my stuff on the 27th of jul, so between go and get my stuff and come back, the store would be closed, so the least I would have expected as a some sort of compliment for a new customer would have been to wave the after hour charge for a day, no big deal it is just a thinking, and the to be obligated to buy some specific sort of padlock it is kind of absurd but anyways it is what it is other than that I rate your service average. Customer service? Excellent. Policies? Not very good for customers. My opinion.

Évaluation :

Chris was very helpful! Cleaned my unit and answered all my questions!

Évaluation :

2

Had all my stuff moved out of my unit before I was due to be charged for a new month, but office hours were closed so I couldn't formally close out my account until the next day, and I was automatically charged for a full month regardless. I will not be renting a unit from uhaul in the future, nor would I recommend anyone to uhaul due to the uncompromising, all-or-nothing contract and refusal to prorate unused days.

Évaluation :

I have a code to get into the storage area after hours, but the code doesn't work after hours. It only works on the office door. That set me back a day.

Dear U-haul, You have been good to me. After months of being late, you still managed to give me a settlement which I a small for all those months. Thanks for your kindness. It's, Payvay

When we opened the unit, all of our items were covered with a film of white dust. Something must have fallen from Above. It took A lot of work to clean off our stuff. It was concerning as we don't know what it was and whether it causes a health risk. The office staff were unhelpful and just said - we should have gotten insurance. Unacceptable!
