The location was convenient, and I received the truck with no issues. The most difficult part was coming back in the afternoon - it is a narrow street and gets pretty busy. All the employees were kind and helpful.

The Hispanic lady working was terribly rude. She kept shaking her head at me and showing me signs of disrespect. I asked her co worker if he noticed it and he told me yes so I wasn't the only one. I also needed two vehicles and she said she had an extra vehicle to get me to take the first one then told me they didn't have the second. I'll never use uhaul again after this experience. I've never been treated so poorly by a company I do all my business with

After waiting a half hour In line I was told I couldn't rent a truck .. 5 minutes later i was able to reserve one online at the same exact location. Walked back in; waited another 45 minutes to get to the front of the line just for the guy to completely ignore me and call another guy behind me to the front for a return that took forever. Finally got helped by a woman and given the truck.. Seemed like no one wanted to do their job , I'm not sure what the difference was? Later when I came to return there was an OVERFLOW of trucks parked that I couldn't even get into the lot & had to park on the street hoping they wouldn't charge (luckily they didn't) but this place seems very lazy aside from one of the guys outside who helped me verify that I did in fact reserve a truck and was super nice. The two + hours I wasted to get the truck screwed my pickup times up for furniture that I'll have to rent again to waste another $100+ on another rental & gas. Do better guys, we're all hurting here, the least you can do is be helpful and mindful to the customers… it's free.

I had a scheduled pick up at 5am on 7/31/22 I arrived at 5:30 am to find nobody there to assist me and a truck no contactless pickup. I returned back at 8:30am to find the manager on the grounds, I began to explain to her the issue and she gave me the RUDEST attitude!! She then walked away from me, walking into the building and locking it although I told her I had a 5am pick up and she disregarded that. I motioned with my phone on the glass and she could see me and she refused to help me at all and told me to come back at 9!!! I returned at 9:15 to a uhaul filled with people ! I had to wait in line a hour and a half to get a truck ! The gentlemen at the desk were so patient and kind but they were being OVERWORKED !!!! the manager was nowhere to be found! I WILL NEVER EVER USE UHUAL AGAIN! I will happily go and grab a hertz rental for my needs. That manager and what I experienced was not acceptable at all. I am sure your company values go completely against the horrible service Maria provided.

Workers were extremely rude and unprofessional. They were not even on the same page on how to conduct the business. One person would tell us to park the car in one place, and another would come over with an attitude saying we were parking in the wrong spot. Very arrogant employees who feel they are somehow superior to the customer while simultaneously providing inaccurate information. Terrible employees would never recommend or return to this location.

Everything about this rental went exceptionally well, unlike a rental which I had a week earlier at the Agoura Hills location. A few days before my rental date, I called to verify a few pieces of information about street parking and other details. The manager, Maria Cash, couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. And that held true even on the day of my rental. She's an excellent manager and I highly recommend this location.

They lost the keys for the truck we reserved and we had to wait an hour while they searched for the keys and eventually had to call a tow truck to move that truck so we could use the one behind it. Awful experience and such ridiculous incompetence on the staff/management's part. Will not be returning to this location or recommending Uhaul to others.

I made a reservation a day before, at 9:30, and I arrived at the office at 9:20 to pick up my truck. I have received a key around 10:20 after a long wait, and supervisor told me I have to bring the car before 11:30, and I asked why do I only have an hour when my reservation was for 2 hour, and its facilitys problem that I got my car over an hour after my initial reservation time. Whn I finally received the car, side mirror just fell off as soon as I stepped on the accel. I had to talk to another employee for a breif moment to fix that and to prove that such problem of the car is not our fault. I was able to start the car less than hour before my reservation time ended, while my initial reservation time was 9:30-11:30. time my car was ready to go was near 10:40. Please hire more employees or fix the system.

Everyone there has an attitude problem. Customers are paying customers so we shouldn't have to put up with crap like they are doing us a favor. Not coming back to this location

Évaluation :

Someone needs to train Maria better customer service and teach her about having a better people person type of attitude. Without a doubt the rudest and most condescending UHAUL employee I have ever encountered. I will not ever go back to this location unless it is my last option.

Évaluation :

Ensure your customer reps have a good attitude. I arrive there to pick up my truck and I asked if I could exchange it for a van the young lady seem to be in a bad mood inform me no I could not have one because they were already reserved. Her demeanor was not inviting crowded it was early in the morning. She asked for my card and for my drivers license and then proceeded to toss it across the counter for me to take a picture of the front and the back of my drivers license. I didn't like her attitude at all. If I didn't need the truck I would have cancelled the reservation. She seemed tired she rested her head on her hand and just continued to process the reservation. I went to pick up the truck the gentleman was kind and walked me through the inspection . Upon my return the same gentle man was kind and considerate. I told him about the young lady he said she received a bad phonecall. I choose my battles and I didn't want to get in a bad mood because she was not nice. If you're not able to provide appropriate customer service or just in a bad mood then don't show up for work or just come in when you're in a better mood . I know my little 76 won't make a difference. But I'm not certain I'll use this location again.

Office clerk needs to inform customers fully and paying attention when they are working on contract. Trucks needs to be checked before customers rent them. 1. Office clerk needs to be little less blunt 2. Stop cheating with customers such as adding safe move or not going over fully what terms and conditions are. 3. Check the trucks when they get returned.

The parking did not have any instruction, direction, or a sign to the office. I had to wander around like an idiot looking for a sign. One of the mechanic told me the direction, but hey a little sign would help.

This is a Carolyn Levias my reference number for my complaint is 374-6449 I received the worst customer service that I've ever experienced dealing with Uhaul and I was grossly overcharged. I have no recourse to verifying the quote that I received because everyone on the Uhaul side shows something different than what I was quoted and what I was charged. I'm very upset. This is the worst experience I've ever had with Uhaul. It initiated when the customer before me was late returning her vehicle and it kicked my entire reservation out and now I'm overcharged because my reservations was kicked out due to someone else's late return. I have asked for a copy of our recorded conversation when the young lady made my reservation. I would like whoever is reviewing my account to listen to the recorded conversation. The recorded conversation states how much I was charged and she was the same person to take my credit card information. The recorded conversation could verify what I was quoted. Also I went online to make a reservation for the same service and it comes up with the quote I was quoted not what I was charged. It's a blatant disregard for people situation and their finances, to be charged more than you were quoted.

Employees should effectively do their job. I was over charged and charged twice because multiple employees failed to do their job. The carelessness in this facility makes me never want to pay to utilize uhual trucks and equipment ever again.

Time to check in was too long.There was a computer glitch or something. It took about 15 minutes standing at the desk to be checked in. Clearer instructions on how to return the vehicle would be helpful. I didn't know if I needed to fill out any additional forms or take additional actions. Eventually I realized I could just leave. First time using U-Haul so maybe that's my fault.

Évaluation :

Vehicle that was reserved well in advance was not originally available. Note that the 15 foot truck had been reserved at least 3-4 days early and online check in was completed. Also note that I arrived within 20 min of store opening. I was told that I would be sent to a nearby location which is unacceptable given that I already paid an Uber to drop me off at the primary rental location. I explained my situation and eventually the cashier "found" a truck. This added negative experience adds to the stress if the day knowing that I had many volunteers waiting for me (and you) to get the move started.

Management wasn't customer service oriented and very confrentational about extending the rental. Threatened and lied about reporting to police, even though contract states 5 days past due date is when this would occur and we weren't even on day 2 finishing. Also, major disagreement with the gas charges considering I pumped $40 worth of gas and surpassed the amount of gas with which I received it. Will not rent here ever again.

The speedometer wasn't showing. The guy had to push something to have it come up. But then it would go back to something about the tires. The guy said they just have to set something to stop that from happening. You can only have a California DL to rent at this location. Returning the vehicle was a lot easier process.

Here's my experience - I booked online on Thursday for a cargo van to be picked up on Saturday morning. I arrive at 9 and I don't get my van until 10:15. I was at the counter for 40 minutes standing there while the U-HAUL associate was trying to bring my contract up on the system. The real issue is that U-Haul overbooks online reservations especially for the weekend so the system is really slow on the weekends due to high demand ( a La online bookings ) this was a terrible experience of waiting at the counter while the system was trying to bring my contract up. Imagine having to move and everything you are doing is now delayed by 30 minutes because the company just wants to overbook. While i was waiting at the counter another consumer came to the counter because he had reserved a 15ft truck on Thursday and when he came in to pick one up - there was none available. The system needs to be fixed and I would like someone to contact me because I need a full refund from U-Haul. Thank you

A bunch of thieves looking to nickel and dime you. Dirty place ran by dirty people. The entire van fiasco is why I am shutting down my storage account at the location.

This time my truck was clean inside, but there has been other times I was given a dirty truck and I cleaned it myself after returned. I would like to even say your people working there look unhappy and never smile nor greet customers. That is considered good customer service. If you can smile then you never should open up a business. That makes me not want to come back at sour pus faces.

After going in an out of the storage unit every day for a week, I got to know a few of the staff members - Bruno, Brian and a Latino gentleman, who were helpful and friendly. I felt safe having them around when I left late at night and was happy they were there. The facility elevator was the slowest ever but I was happy that it was working while I was there. I was able to use the carts and dollies, which made life easier. I would recommend this Uhaul location to anyone who asked me.

All good, except that the storage location where I rented was advertised as 24 hour access, and it was not. This caused issues collecting my belongings between my arrival and departure flights

I checked in and there were homeless people who have storage units there standing by for me to take things up to unit in order to try and take my things. I moved my things out three days after I moved in and I continue to get a bill and calls about payment until today saying sorry to see you go. I called and walked in person the day I checked out to let the manager know. Please clear me out because I have proof including email of my checkout

This was by far my worst moving experience and one that could have been avoided/made less stressful with clearer communication and assistance. I chose this location based on the U-Haul website upon searching for a specific climate-controlled storage space. This location showed as having only 1 left, so I called the 1-800 number immediately and made the reservation for it, noting that we needed a truck as well, referencing the one-month free. Upon arrival during moving day (where we then had to take the rest of our stuff with us on a two-hour drive), I noted the deal to the staff member who flat out said it would not be honored as it didn't apply to our rental (even though we verified everything over the phone). Not only that but our rate was different than what we were quoted, even though I had a confirmation e-mail with our reservation and rate. This all seemed suspicious but we had to get going with the move, so I resigned to having to deal with it the next day over the phone. I was then given my key card and tried to get to our storage room. Our key card didn't work (the rep told me it takes a few minutes -- but it ended up not working the whole time). When we got to our floor, it was hot and damp (clearly not climate controlled) and the storage did not match what we saw online. Instead of private rooms, they storage areas were cages where you could see everything inside AND the chain linked fences had openings in them. I looked at the receipt the staff member printed out for me and it said "No Climate". At this point, it was a comedy of errors. I went back down and even the staff member said this was all wrong but there was nothing she could do. We finished our move, reluctantly leaving our stuff in a cage without climate control (luckily we sold our refrigerator last minute the day before, otherwise it would be in there now). As directed, I called the GM the next day to try and have this amended somehow. Though Yolanda verified that we actually did qualify for the one month free, there was nothing that could be done about the change in reservation. Apparently, even though you reserve ahead of time -- it is still on a first come, first serve basis IN PERSON (which makes no sense, why would you show on your website that you only have "1 left" when making a reservation; that implies you are snatching up the last available spot for that specific category you checked off during your search -- in our case, climate control). Yolanda apparently honored our initial rate with a monthly discount to match (though we have yet to receive email confirmation) and now have to wait and see if a climate controlled room opens up, which we then can only confirm in person. A move is stressful already and was only made more so by a flawed reservation system and lackluster staff that, while friendly, failed to make things right during our move. I would not recommend this storage facility (or U-Haul for that matter) to anyone.
