Hi, I am writing to address an issue I encountered with my recent van rental, which occurred on the day of the Daylight Savings Time change. As your policy states that rentals are charged for a 24-hour period, I believe it is only fair that this timeframe takes into account the adjustment caused by Daylight Savings. Unfortunately, I was charged for an additional day due to the hour lost on that day, even though I returned the vehicle within the 24-hour period. 1 kindly request a review of this situation and a refund for the extra charges incurred. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. Thank you for your understanding. Best, Kenan

The clerk overwhelmed at the end of the open hours from people asking questions about their mobile pickups/dropoffs. Why is there a female employee closing alone in Pilsen? There's room for growth at this location.

Double check tail lights. Left turn signal was out, so the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Everything else was great.

My most recent u-haul experience was one of the worst be experienced. I arrived on time for my reservation date at 7am and the store hadn't opened yet. Whomever that was designated to work that morning was a no-show. The general manager reported to open around 7:40am. Upon expecting the truck, we found that the previous user smoked in the cab of the truck, and there was a residual smell of cannabis. This event threw off my entire moving schedule for the entire day. I was late to move out of my current residence as well as late to move into my new home due to the morning delay from u-haul which caused me to incur additional fees. I was also informed that if I didn't return the moving truck before closing, I would accrue a $20 charge. I was able to return the truck on time, but there were extra measure taken on my end to ensure I met the return time. I'm highly disappointed in the entire customer transaction with U-Haul.

Something gas related, maybe have all the tanks started on fill instead of wherever the last customer left it. That would really help people who are crunched for time and need to go as soon as they get their rental. This location needs a parking lot! lol but seriously.

I have had my storage unit since 2021 and when I went in to remove my stuff I came to find that there were mice and mice droppings all in my stuff! My linen my clothes and appliances were filled with mice droppings my clothes and shoes had been chewed on. The day I went to move out my stuff the mover I hired couldn't continue because mice came out of my stuff and when looking around the garage I saw mice traps all around the garage. I nolonger wanted anything in there and things I had took out had to dispose of clothes, pictures, shoes, appliances, linen, tv, it was just a lose. They need to get past control. I had to go through my stuff outside they couldn't move my stuff in until I saw what I could keep.

I had a HORRIBLE experience!! I rented a Uhaul van. I accidently locked the van keys inside. I arranged for roadside assistance to assist with lockout. The young man who was dispatched, called me and said he would arrive between 45 minutes - 1 hour. I gave him a very detailed description of the exact location of the van. 2 hours go by and he still has not arrived. I called the Uhaul customer service and 1 representative told me the driver called in and said he was having car problems. Then a different representative told me the driver arrived at the location and could not locate me or the vehicle. Those are both LIES! I was hosting a large youth event - there is NO WAY he could say he could not locate me or the van!! After 2 1/2 hours, the driver arrives with his girlfriend in the car with him. No apology or humbleness for lying and being late to the location! THEN, the driver struggles to open the van to unlock....for over 45 minutes! It was not until one of my staff assisted the driver, was I able to get the keys out of the van. Then, the next day - 2 hours before my rental was do for return - I get a call from whoever was working at the Blue Island location office that day, and she tells me to bring the van back. I'm caught off guard because in all of my years of experience renting Uhaul vehicles, I have never heard of such a thing. After the experience with roadside assistance the day before, I was taken aback from the treatment I was continuing to receive! The woman at the drop off location continued to call me 2-3 more times. I informed her more than once that because of the experience the day before in the delay of roadside assistance, it affected my time to clear the van out and return. Then, when I arrive at the drop off location, the woman storms out of the door and approaches the van before I could even get out myself. She told me it is Uhaul policy to call 2 hours before a rental vehicle is due or they will have to report it stolen. Once again i was offended and taken aback from that statement! I'm not sure I'm familiar with that policy. Then, I asked the woman at the drop off location, where do I file a complaint because I'm not happy with my experience. She told me to "google it".

ladies at the front desk were very quiet couldn’t hear them the entire conversation had to keep asking to repeat themselves and seemed upset about it. weren’t really directing me on what to do just said go outside U-HAUL is there when in reality we had to walk down two streets, and then we assumed the dolly and pads would be in the truck but weren’t cause we weren’t told where to get them so i had to come back

Évaluation :

The front desk workers were always very nice and helpful. Everything felt so easy. I was stressed, because I've never done this before and I've definitely never rented a truck, but the whole experience was flawless and I was quite impressed. There are plenty of dolly carts to carry our furniture upstairs and units are easy for us to access. I even went after hours once (I didn't know yet) and a woman on call texted me back immediately to help. Really great services!

My overall experience was positive and professional except for one issue. Accessing the storage area was crowded and overly difficult because: a) rental trucks were being parked in the area; and b) customers were abusing privileges. The area only parks 6-7 cars and there was a women essentially sitting in her storage unit like it is her living room all day long not loading or unloading anything. There were at least 3 people (with their own vehicles who parked in the loading area preventing paying customers from parking) I saw who over a 4 hour period who came to sit and visit with her?!?! This is a storage facility not a residence. I pointed this out to an employee but nothing happened. That's poor management.

When I picked up the truck the initial contract was for two days when I specifically said I was returning within one day and listed the more expensive insurance when i stated I wanted the basic coverage. The screen with the different coverages was not offered. Once I caught these things the attendant corrected the quote but I felt she knew that she was overcharging deliberately. Very shady

It looks like the data numbers for orders are being mixed between the different products. When I would look into my order for the boxes, it linked to an order for a truck in New York.

I was having problems making a reservation on the uhaul website, so I called and spoke with Karina. She was extremely helpful, she made the reservation for me, when I arrived to pick up the van, again, Karina was super helpful and friendly. She made the entire process easy for me. I will come back to this location again in a few months to move my daughter back into her dorm.

I wish I had known ahead of time about the verification processes involved with the 24/7 rentals. My emergency contact couldn't answer and I was standing there for a long time waiting and then had to cancel. Then I rebooked a few days later and the equipment wasn't available. They got me a new rental but it wasted a lot of time. Then the person at the counter was confusing me and I thought the price was double what I confirmed. It was a bit of a mess but was eventually worked out. I will say that everyone I spoke to on the phone was amazing! Your customer service on the phone was 5 stars. Thank you!!

They took way to long to check me in. I was not asked conformation questions as to what I had done online, I was treated like a walkin. I thought at least the dolly would have been put in the van since I did order it online, but "No" it was given to me in-store, I'm on a cane so I had to do it myself. I will not use this location again even though the vehicle I reserved was available as early as 7am.

Rented a U-Haul van over the weekend and I can tell you it will be my last at this location. Arrived 10 minutes early and waited another 5-10 minutes for someone to come out to the counter. When we were finally assisted an employee or manager, Andres G. was very rude to myself and my coworker. Had an attitude since he first walked in and tried rushing us when we tried answering the questions he was asking us. When asked over the phone he said I could return the van late and would be charged for late fees, I agreed with that as it was fine with me. When we went to check in he later told me he would be charging for a two-day rental (which means we had the Van until Sunday) but then told us we would need to return it by 2PM Saturday because they had over booked that van. I thought the place was unprofessional, not well coordinated, and he gives out the impression he doesn't enjoy being there.

I just moved out of Uhaul Storage at Pilsen and was using my storage unit for about 4 months. I was able to store all my apartment stuff (one-bedroom) in one 10x10x unit. I have nothing but good things to say about my unit. Overall, the place is the cleanest storage unit location I have ever used or been to. The convenience of being able to drive in and immediately access the elevators is a huge plus (makes moving in poor weather no problem). I would say try to avoid weekends as they are significantly more busy and sometimes hard to park, but overall I did not have a problem. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is also in a safe area. Overall 5/5 recommend.

My promotional offer that I received from UHAUL was not honored and was met with haste when I was on-site asking about it. After check out, I still received payment charges and late fees, even after sending notes to management saying I had already moved out. Spent a lot of time on the phone trying to resolve issues- none of which really ever were. Would not recommend this facility; better options in the city.

The young women at the front desk walked me through the details of the rental and answered all my questions. She was patient and knowledgeable-I felt fully informed and ready once I got the keys. Glad she was there for my reservation.

Had pickup reserved for 6AM. Keys were not in the lock box. Had to wait for employee to arrive until 7:15AM (they are supposed to open at 7AM) to rudely provide us the key. This delayed out in and move out. Try to rent from any other uhaul than this one

Your employee that helped me was extremely rude and unhelpful. He also threatened me and made me feel unsafe. I have had a storage unit at this location for years, long before it was UHaul and I will now be moving to a different storage facility due to my poor experience.

There was no gangplank to load heavy furniture in! I tried to book online and hit the extra insurance for $5. So the Guy at the counter had to put it in himself. Keys got locked in the truck. Sent someone out. I know there's a extra key or 2 for each vehicle. Used to work at that location lived across the street. So I still have not received my final invoice. Saw what it was at the bank. $250 and some change. I want to speak with someone on the top. I work 2 part time jobs. Was homeless for a year due to a bad divorce. I will never use this company again!! And the sad thing is I store with public storage. Roberta H. K. Koronkiewicz 6303413496. I think it was because she knows me of of me somehow.

My experience with U-Haul was very pleasant. The manager went above and beyond to assure my belongings were safe and worked with me when I needed help. For excellent service, dependability and a safe place to store your precious belongings U-Haul on 1500 S Blue Island is an excellent choice. Ask for Valeria the manager, she'll go above and beyond for her tenants.

The regular staff was great. There was one older white man that is a maintenance worker who is EXTREMELY misogynistic and inappropriate. Made a lot of incredibly insulting and sexist comments with no provocation. I had to have his help to cut off an old lock and was extremely uncomfortable the entire time with the weird things he said, as was the female front office worker. She had to apologize for him several times. He alone was enough for me to want to never come back here.

Valerie is excellent. She explains things simply. clearly and patiently. She has a good speaking voice. The entry sensor is difficult to reach. It should be arched out and towards the arriving cars. The high rise building that I park my car in has the sensor arching out from the complete unit and it is much easier to reach and use.
