Trucks fan belt was making noise. Regular service and checking ✔️ on mechanical concerns would be good.

Thanks Juan
Janet NoceraThe gentleman who rented my U-Haul this Sunday morning was very nice and I can see the company is lucky to have such a great employee..
Robert PrattGood job and keep up the good work
Quinn McCullyOn the website, the price for 1 day rental was $23, but the fee at the location was $45. Just saying.
Rict BryantThe U-Haul staff at the Railroad Drive were ALWAYS helpful to us. We so appreciated the care the took to be helpful and accommodating to our needs. Having a safe and reliable place to store our vehicle meant the world to us. Mahalo Nui.
Karl Schneiter (FORD F150) | Expérience généraleWas quick and easy to rent and easy to drive ...
Victoria TorresThe people working the service desk were very helpful and pleasant. They explained all the details very clearly and I knew what to expect and the details for dropping the truck off in odd hours if needed.
Rudolph SlankauskasThe staff were very professional and helpful but the 15' box truck was in dire need of mechanical repairs. Some things like the very squeaky fan belt and loud leak in the exhaust manifold would be easy to fix, but the knocking valves would require a more extensive repair. We actually wanted the 20' box truck but it was unavailable due to needed repairs. I can't blame the local staff which again were great, but come on U-Haul, take better care of your vehicles!
Tom Mcauliffekeep expanding - but everything good thanks!
tamiko muraiFriendly, helpful, and excellent customer service, will definitely use this location again and recommend them to friends… Thank you William frazier
William FrazierPave or completely gravel the customer only parking side that is to the left of the office. Merci.
Roxanne TaoneBest experience I have ever had with a storage facility. Merci.
Robert Scales | Expérience généraleJuan was great
Eugene ShanerJuan and Josh in the Hilo location at Affordable Storage were both fabulous-we had to reschedule several times due to the Port closing and they were so flexible and pleasant.
Hart Randallabsolute excellent customer service, this was my first uhaul rental experience and i could not have asked for a better one. i was in a pinch the morning of my pick up and needed a larger vehicle and the agent was empathetic to my situation and got me in a rental that suited my needs asap. drop off was also extremely easy and convenient, definitely will recommend this location!
Ashley KotomoriAccurate descriptions of trucks. 15' truck does NOT have 15' bed. Have more & bigger trucks available. Tried to use online booking at other Hilo location & that was a fiasco. (Reserved truck wasn't there).
Thomas WinegarI tried to use my True Link debit card, which is my access to the funds in my special needs trust. It came up in the system as a prepaid gift card, and was unacceptable for the rental. I had to pay for the rental out of my meager income, which created a significant hardship. Please, correct this, for my sake, and for the sake of all the disabled people who depend on their special needs trusts. I would like to be able to afford to rent from U-Haul again.
Jeanettte OstranderThis was my first time renting from U-Haul. Thank you! The rental process from reserving the van to checking in and then returning the van was such an easy and comfortable one. I cannot think of anything that would need improving. I would definitely be a returning customer! Happy Holidays!
Terrylynn CrichtonMahola.
ERGUN KARACAExperience was great. Individual at counter was friendly and helpful. Vehicle ran well and was just what I needed.
Gary SiegelEverything is good Very good service thank you so much
Avena PorfirioI booked a reservation online for a van. Although there was not a van available to rent the day I needed, Juan was kind enough to call, and inform me of the situation, but also came up with a solution and had another vehicle available. Great customer service!!
Sydney TichenorReally professional and knowledgeable staff. Will rent from here again.
Jennifer KleppeThere was some confusion about renting the truck and cost and the truck I wanted was broken so we had to make two trips so my bill ended up being $140 instead of $100 I am blind just out of hospital in a wheelchair so money is very tight the estimate geven was lose and I didn't understand the mileage or it was not given to me in the quoate I went over budget because my understanding and facts were not correct When I called uhaul I was upset and said why is my bill $140 and I guess I sounded rude to the man answering the phone he told me off and said I ezas rude and one option would not give me a truck at all I appreciate his opinion but it didn't have to happen that way I went over budget bounced my checking because I didn't understand him and I am extremely I'll in the move and he didn't have to tell me off and hang up on me. I tried to understand how things would play out in the move but didn't even come close I am sorry I upset the worker
Bruce WilliamsIt hesitated to start but did, and slightly pulls to the right but still drivable . We got what we needed to do done and the that box truck was very helpful thank you so very much
Charles BargasThe Hispanic braddah working the Hilo Hawaii place was very helpful. I rented a trailer, he made things happen even though it was busy. He made it work for me. He was very polite, very professional and thorough. He did a very good job. I don't usually do surveys, but I wanted to let you guys know he's management material and did me right.
Daniel McKinleyJosh was friendly, helpful and courteous. All was good!!
Joan HildalThe trailer was ready and the manager could not have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. Will definitely rent here again or recommend to a friend.
Joan HildalThere was a delay in picking up the truck. The computer couldn't handle multiple customers. I had to wait for other customers to conclude their business. The truck had garbage under the seat and smelled of marijuana.
Daniel Mittelbuscher1,59 per mile is literally highway robbery on top of the flat rate. I went to town 3 or 4 times to haul some stuff and it was 160$…on top of the daily rate. The guy didn't know how to properly calculate the cost when I dropped off and he quoted me almost 80$ more than what I was charged when I spoke to someone a few days later. Easy pick up and drop off and friendly employees save the experience from being a bad one.
Samuel HibbardEquipment did job for me. Attendant was helpful. Good price thanks a lot
William MinerVery helpful and friendly staff
Kevin HopkinsJuan does a great job!!!!!!!!
David JosephOverall very easy and pleasant experience! Perfect for transporting. Lots of choices and economical.
Natalie KuboThe customer service agent was excellent! He made an extra effort to help me get the van I needed. The van was not necessarily dirty. It needs to be bombed for roaches.
Alvina LeonCustomer service was awesome:) Super 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Harold RodriguesGreat staff. Keep up the good work.
Bradley KelleyThe guy who helped us was awesome. Thank you so much for your help with everything!
Ryan KrouseVery helpful service.
Douglas CareyMake it cheaper for in town rentals.
Alex ROYThe two young men who helped me were TOPS; competent, completed business efficiently and were friendly. An excellent person-to-person business experience. Merci.
Brian BurkeNot just the air conditioning doesn’t work but the cab light didn’t work so I had to work in the dark which caused me to cut open my front shin
Jamie WikertVery convenient location and affordable. It's not temp control, but those units are 3 times the cost.
James Murphy | Expérience généraleAC did not work and engine needed a tune-up (idol was jumping and engine died out). Routine/Upkeep Maintenance of vehicles needs to improve.
Raymond DangaranI wanted a ramp gate trailer and U-Haul was the only place in Hilo who had one. I called, it was out and told I would be called back shortly, I was. The guy running the place was friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The trailer worked great at a great price and I will rent from them again.
CR JordanMore vehicle selection
LISA KAALEKAHIRented a few times from this location. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I will continue to rent from them in the future.
Dominique JoynerLocation was great however the corporate rates has for some reason over powered the local rate which I find that to be ridiculous and will probably not support U-Haul ever again and in fact will notify all of my friends also.
Kyle GraserYour national 800 # failed to notify me when I inquired about picking up the trailer on a Sunday, that the location closed at 11:30 a.m. thus forcing me to return the trailer the next morning at 7:30 am. All they said was that my reservation was all correct. That caused me a lot of inconvenience.
Shawn BOLANPersonnel amical
Xan TorresThe representative that rented the vehicle to me questioned my capability to drive. He called me during the duration of my rental asking if I needed assistance. I felt insulted and harassed as my rental was 4 hours and he called after 2 hours.
Danyel EricksonIt was perfect. Friendly staff, very knowledgeable and very polite in assisting the change of the itinerary. Walked me through returning the vehicle and the best part your staff was there on a holiday 4th of July. I really needed to take care of business on that day especially. Mahalo
Darcy KelaContinued professional service. Juan, the location representative, was efficient and friendly. Merci.
Stephen SageThe Gentlemen & the Wiman, treated ne with dignity & respect. Thank You Railroad store. I look forward to doing more tigether in the future. Your trucks are in amazing shape and easy to drive. I appreciate all you do..
Kaleo Hano HanoExcellent customer services and very kind people managing the Hilo store. Big mahalos to Juan and his other employee.
Katelynn ElsaJuan and Candy of Hilo U-Haul did a fantastic job supporting my big move. I put over 200 miles on a 20' truck. The whole thing went great, from the large carrying capacity of the truck, to the excellent appliance dolly, and the secure and ample parking facility unlike the U-Haul facility in Kona, that has next to zero customer or truck parking. Thank you Juan especially, and for taking care of all those cadets who were docked and needed some wheels for their shore leave. :) Mahalo! Derek
Derek BishopGas tank wasn't full on pickup. Makes re-filling tank on drop off difficult.
Klaus MercoucheffThe customer service person at the U-Haul office Juan was wonderful, very professional, friendly and helpful. It's a great place to rent a moving truck when you need one.
Michael DeanMore vans!
Lisa LaneThis was the best U-Haul experience I've had by far. The people were all nice and helpful and the van was clean and everything worked well which has not been my experience at other locations.
Lisa LaneI thought everything was a great experience Juan was professional and very helpful 5 out of 5 stars!!!
Kelly DunnCustomer service is the best always thank you for make my day easy...
Aurelio AparicioI always use this facility - Juan and other Hawaiian lady is fast friendly and professional!!! Very happy with the service!!
Craig ManzanoDropped off here no problem just the staff in Kona are thieves...
Robert BinderContinued excellence
Stephen SageGreat customer service from both agents, Juan and Candi.
Dell OtsukaThe truck worked, and clean in the cab and bixx, but the exterior and truck body looked like it went thru a war zone. It was realky beat up with hanging bumper pieces. The people were great. The equiptment needs tlc as its rough
Anthony McDonaldTHE AC NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN THE 20 FOOTER TRUCK TO HELP WITH THEM HOT AND HUMID DAYS. THANK YOU.
Maria E KaoluloEverything went well. Happy with product. Mahalo
Thomas Wakita JrAwesome service all around!!!
Anastasia Chase | Expérience généraleGreat storage facility! The staff are very professional and polite. Entreprise familiale. I would recommend this location as your first choice for storage in Hilo.
Collette Wilson | Expérience généraleI have stored my car various places on Hawaii Island and this was far and away the BEST. The staff is super nice and I felt they really looked out for their customers.
Janet Marshall (NISSAN Rogue) | Expérience généraleOffice worker was courteous and explained everything well. A good experience. Would use again and recommend to others.
Sheila Nakamura | Expérience généraleEmployees always curtious
Seth Bullard | Expérience généraleWell managed. Good people. I like the fact that you give a partial refund for unused time. It shows honesty and makes me want to do business again in the future.
Adrian Day | Expérience généraleThe fellow that work there was very friendly and easy to work with an absolute pleasure. But I stopped by on a Sunday and Christmas Eve and the place was closed not handy but not the worst things that happened to a fella all in all very pleased would recommend it to everyone
Michael "Tony" Miller | Expérience généraleWe used this storage unit for 3 months. In that time, ALL of our belongings grew moldy and infested with roaches. Mice had been through our things chewing holes all over.
Hope Ucker | Expérience généraleThe mailbox was fine and the staff were always helpful and friendly. The office was not open for very long on the weekends which was difficult sometimes when I needed to pick up my packages. There were many times when I was stopping by and someone had let their dog poop in the parking lot, and had not picked it up. The mailbox rent was affordable when it was $10 per month, but after the price increase of more than 200 % there was no way I wanted to continue my contract. Not to mention the requirement to pay 6 months up front. Especially since it is difficult to find a mailbox rental anywhere around Hilo, this seems like taking advantage of people who have no other way to receive mail. I will not recommend this mailbox rental to anyone.
EMILY WILSON | Expérience généraleThank you for your help and i definately recommend these guys as a place to store your belongings and not having to worry about the safety of them.
Jennifer Dayton | Expérience généraleLove this place. Friendly staff,clean units.
Antolene Nahoopii | Expérience généraleBoth men who "man the desk" at this Hilo location multi-task in friendly, courteous and unflappable fashion. The gentlemen went out of their way(s) to assist me with multiple rentals, which resulted in a low-stress move to the Big Island. These guys are the créme de la créme in the U-HAUL universe, and I'll be forever grateful that Siri pointed me to Railroad Avenue.
Fred Ross | Expérience généraleWill highly recommend your facility to anyone in need of storage.
Anastasia Abbey | Expérience généraleBecause of the employees this is the only yard I would use. They were great
Gary Erickson | Expérience généraleEverything was great
WADE KALILI | Expérience généraleI've had my storage unit for about a year and I didn't have any complaints or issues with my unit. The prices are reasonable and staff members are very friendly and honest! This was my first time having to rent out a storage unit. One thing I liked about Affordable Self Storage is that they check to make sure all locks are on correctly at each unit. One day I apparently didn't lock my unit correctly and I was called by a gentleman (forgot his name & he was also the one who helped my bf and I apply and did a walk around the property of the different sizes to choose from) stating that my lock wasn't on correctly. Luckily I was still in town and I went back to correctly lock my unit. Thank you for your time and honestly!
Kaysha Derasin-Galsote | Expérience généraleI was very satisfied with my storage unit. No rats/mice/mongoose, very well kept and maintained property. If I ever need a storage unit again, I will definitely be a return customer!
Thereesa Nunes | Expérience généraleI was happy with my storage. After nearly 10 months, my belongings were clean and not effected by humidity.
Patricia Jones | Expérience généraleVery surprised since I have not access the unit for 12 years how it was like I had it when I've first rent it. Hardly any dust and no roaches. Merci.
VIOLET F DE SOUZA | Expérience généraleThank You all for your help and for providing me with everything I needed to keep all my household items safe, secure and dry. And everyone was really helpful and nice. Much Aloha, DJ Blinn...
DJ BLINN | Expérience généraleThis was an excellent experience from the moment we first walked into the door to inquire about space, until the last item was removed almost one year later. Staff is friendly/helpful & facility clean

Privacy Request | Premières impressionsMy husband returned a uhaul with a friend the day before I was suppose to rent a storage but the manager talked to him harshly rude.I did not want to rent from this company. I am sorry.
Privacy Request | Premières impressionsGreat service and good prices!
