About U-Haul Storage

U-Haul is well known for supplying truck rentals and packing supplies to do-it-yourself movers across the nation. U-Haul advertises trucks for $19.95 per day for local moves, but long-distance moves costs significantly more. Additional charges include fuel, damage protection and environmental fees. Even with these expenses, U-Haul can be a budget-friendly option.

    We had our belongings in U-Haul storage in Montgomery Illinois. Although we left a lot behind I looked through my things thoroughly. Not blaming anyone but it's a lot I noticed was missing. My wife and her family was at our storage with us and it could have been them that threw things away or took things that they shouldn't have. I don't know, but I do know a lot was taken. Thousands of dollars worth of Merchandise and clothing was stolen. It could have very well been U-Haul employees that wipe us out.

    It's hard to part ways with things you love and like. I really wish I knew who was responsible for ripping me off or throwing my thing out because I would most definitely report them fast. My wife and her family were incompetent enough to leave a lot of important personal paperwork behind in the U-Haul trash area as well and I hope and pray it doesn't come back to hunt us because personal information should never ever be shared. To U-Haul's advantage they did help me settle my debt and allowed me to get my possessions.

    DO NOT rest storage space with this company. They are not upfront about pricing, hidden fees, extra charges. Also, they do not prorate storage fees so if you only need the storage space for a few days, you'll still have to pay for the entire month.

      What a scam. My parents storage units. I believe the place is called Midgaurd in Brighton. What a rip off. They have raised the price of the unit, three times. Also mice have gotten into one of their units.

      This is for the Kingston, PA U-haul location. I took my car there to have a hitch installed and a bike rack that mounts on the hitch. First of all, I had a someone look over my car prior to going and then afterwards. I took my car for the appt and there was absolutely nothing wrong until they took my car inside their facility to do the work. When the guy brought my car out and I went out and inspected my car and found where he hit the driver side lower part of the door, he tells me if he did it he would have said something. I then asked him then explain how it got there when it was not there when I pulled in, he comes off with you probably got hit with a rock. If my car got hit with a rock, I surely would have heard it and second of all how when I was driving down Rte11 10 minutes from my home.

      Contacted corporate, got the run around then everything went thru there insurance claim RepWest. They wanted my pictures of damage but I was not allowed to see their video since my car was inside of their facility but if I was renting a storage unit that's different. How can that be right and fair, all one sided. They denied my claim even with witness that seen my car prior and afterwards. I went for 2 estimates and both places said it looks like either they hit my door on the ramp or carrying the hitch or bike rack hitch mount "L" deep marks down to the metal. Now I'm stuck with a $825 bill to fix my car due to their negligence and denial. Stay way from them if getting anything like this done. Worst experience ever and ignorant as well, lie, deny and excuses.

      I do not like the fact that they literally give you 3 days to pay before they start harrassing you blowing up your phone like you’re 30 days late and then they send a letter to whoever your reference is on file. It’s not just a reference it’s a way to embarrass and make people think you’re far behind when they only give you 3 days. I had to block their number because they called repeatedly every day. I do believe the storage units are overpriced.

      My entire U-Box experience and move has been marred by the organizational incompetence of U-Haul and a lack of accountability between departments. I made a move to NC from Upstate NY to start my first position in my career. The expected shipment date was 8-9 with movers hired for the 10th. I called on both the 7th and 8th to speak to separate associates to confirm that indeed my shipment was on the way, and they both said yes. I get notification the day it was to arrive that it had, in fact, not even left NY. The associate in charge of my case only communicated by sporadic text and without my consent shifted my movers to the 17th, when I would be already working.

      Calling to change this that Friday, I was made to pay 135$ more for new movers, but the associate instead charged me for a “self-delivery”. Calling back again, I rebooked (and was charged again) movers for Sunday the 13th. These movers did not show up because while my reservation said 8/13, they were notified that it was 8/22. After another charge (my move bill was originally $1500 but due to their errors I have charges in excess of $2200), I finally got my possessions today the following Monday. I have spent hours each day for the last 6 days on hold with customer service, and have been caught in a cycle of transferring between the same departments with no one offering guidance. I have filled out a number of “action reports” in that time, and have not received any contact. Avoid their services at all costs. You will literally pay for their mistakes and incompetence.

      I rented a storage unit in Anchorage AK on Old Seward Hwy. and the hours reported on the app where I signed up reflected a later time (10pm) than I was granted to utilize the storage unit (7pm). When I arrived with my entire contents of my apartment at 6:00pm, I was informed that the manager wanted to leave at 7pm and that I needed to be out of the building by then. I scrambled to meet this crazy time change but when I was wrapping up my move (without any help from anyone) at about 7:20pm, the manager got in my face and told me he would have me removed for trespassing for keeping him and his employees there later than the time allotted. I was beside myself with confusion and fear.

      I left and immediately called the UHaul corporate office to report this and my claims were supported by the staff there so the general manager refunded my month's rent and I promised I would move my things once I returned from a trip that would have me away for about a month. I was refunded for that month and when I got back in town I went to take my things out of this location and there was a second lock on my unit. The general manager was no longer there and they wanted to reverse the resolution.

      I called the corporate office again and they had this location remove the lock so I could get my belongings. They proceeded to send me collection notices to collect a month rent on the storage that they previously refunded. I have moved out of there months ago and they continue to send these notices with threats of collection against me. This manager continues to work there despite the complaints I've made to their corporate office. I have since reported this to my State's attorney general who has begun to investigate this.

      The gist is that UHaul supports this behavior by keeping this manager there and allows him to continue to harass me with these ridiculous collections letters. He is an agent of theirs therefore they have threatened me and continue to harass me for literally no reason except that I complained. I will continue to complain about this hostile and unfair treatment of commercial businesses that need to recognize that they need to train their employees better or it will affect their success. I had been a long-time customer with Uhaul and had spent thousands on truck and equipment rentals, on many other occasions, but never again.

      I am an experienced mover - because of my job I move a lot. I have NEVER had such horrible moving experienced. U-Haul is extremely incompetent. Very rude customer service, extremely long wait on the phone to get anyone to speak with you - and I mean OVER ONE HOUR OF WAIT ON THE PHONE, only to get a very rude dismissive customer rep. They booked us with moving helpers with companies that are no longer in business THREE times.

      When using their pods they were FIVE HOURS LATE to drop off, and wanted to pick up almost 12 hours after they were supposed to. When dropping off the pods to be loaded they insisted on dropping off each of the 4 pods one at a time which made are moving process extremely long, and this is by yet one more incompetent mover they recommended. We have requested a refund for the movers they charged us for which date not even in business anymore. Let’s see if we ever get the refund. Save your yourself the headache and DO NOT USE U-HAUL. I can’t believe they are still in business.

      First, if you aren't fluent in Spanish, don't even bother. They'll treat you like a second-class citizen. Secondly, any agreement you make with them, such as I'll pay the balance due by May 1st, 2023. Make sure you get it in writing. If not, they will deny it ever happened, sell your belongings at auction, then come after you for the remaining balance of the rent owed.

      For example: if you owe $300 in back rent, and you don't pay by May 1st as agreed upon, they'll call you Saturday, April 29th to say you have to pay by Monday, May 1st, or it'll go to auction. But, if you call them Monday morning to make payment, they'll tell you that you're too late, they've had the auction and sold your stuff. Even if they made $100 at the auction, they'll harass you for the other $200, and whatever other fees they can throw in there... It doesn't matter if you're disabled, a Senior Citizen on a fixed income, or both; they'll be after your money.

      U-Haul storage location in Superior, WI 54880 has been nothing but useless. They lie, continued to do so when asked for release of belongings of my deceased father's belongings when I produced the copy of death certificate they requested along with his account information. He had no will or trust, no administrator or state, no assets of value in there truthfully as they're sentimental value only. Hence why they were stored in my town and county and not his town and county across the border in MN because it was to make my job easier. He has his bill paid up. I am his only family that cares about handling his belongings.

      I am the next of kin that was listed for his apartment rental lease for the last 10 years. He has other family but none of which care to take on his assets like my father I agreed I would do for him. We verbally agreed to each other his belongings would be handled, his paperwork done, his home cleaned for housing to clear everything so he could move on peacefully. I can't make his wishes finalized when the place will not cooperate with me to do so. I am extremely religious, I was born and raised as a Christian. I will pursue all legal actions I need to do to get his property.

      I have full access to his account online to his U-Haul. I have receipts, his payment methods, his I.D, everything. He has only 2 remaining siblings that aren't even able bodied. They are leaving me to do this. His other 4 daughters - 1 died years ago, 1 lives several states away, the other 2 live almost 5 hours away and I live in the same town it's all in.

      It should not be this much of an issue. I believe it's for profit at this point. I have his death certificate as well. I am on the verge of suing for pain, suffering, damage to his property I'm sure will occur and for loss of personal property and more. So it appears they want to go to court over a $100 dollar locker and pay me hundreds of thousands. Good it's fine by me. I will make an example out of this because I in my grievance should not have to do this. NO ONE SHOULD.

      U-Haul author review by Jessica Render

      U-Haul is a self-move and self-storage company that launched in 1945. Along with trailers and trucks, they rent U-Box containers that allow consumers to pack a room's contents for safe moving or storage through various delivery and pick-up solutions.

      • Local and long distance moving: With U-Box, consumers can work around their personal schedule. Moving helpers are available to accommodate any moving needs, or a self-service option is available. U-Box containers are a great option for overseas shipping for consumers making an international move.

      • Storage: The containers can fit the contents of about one-and-a-half rooms of household items. U-Box offers short and long term storage on-site or in a secure warehouse.

      • Dimensions: A U-Box container is 96 inches long and 60 inches high with a capacity of 257 cubic feet. Each container can hold up to 2,000 pounds. Consumers can find a simple calculator online to help determine how many containers are necessary.

      • Delivery options: U-Box offers three different delivery options: a low-cost self-delivery, moving help delivery and truck delivery. They also give consumers the option to load/unload at a U-Haul location, and Hawaii residents can use U-Box for inter-island shipping.

      • Rates: Rates include cost for delivery to and from the consumer’s home, shipping costs and storage costs. The rate is guaranteed to be final so no unexpected costs arise.
