The Good

Average Prices
24 hour Gate Access
Climate Control Available

Average Prices

U-Haul offers storage units at affordable prices. For example, a 10x10 ground level drive-up storage unit is going to cost roughly $90 per month (this can vary slightly depending on location). These prices are low compared to the rest of the storage unit industry. Most U-Haul locations offer its customers with the first-month storage for free, coupled with one-way equipment rentals. No deposit is required, and all payments are made online. Other than the standard dry and clean storage units, additional features that can be purchased includes climate control.

24-Hour Gate Access

While standard front-office hours do exist (for example, from 7am to 7pm - depending on location) U-Haul storage units are available for user access 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Locks are also available for purchase, along with other moving supplies including boxes, tape, and padding. Another benefit of going with U-Haul is your direct access to a wide variety of moving trucks and other equipment.

Climate Control Available

U-Haul provides customers with the option to store their belongings in climate controlled units. This is a valuable amenity, especially for customers who are concerned with leaving their belongings in a unit exposed to extreme changes in temperature or humidity.

The Bad

Only 5 Unit Size Options Available
Level of Security Depends on Location
No Unit Upkeep
Reimbursement Undisclosed

Only Five Unit Size Options Available

U-Haul only offers 5 unit sizes. This is a relatively average amount compared to other competing storage unit companies. The sizes and their descriptions are as follows:

5' x 5' Storage Unit: Designed for those using a trailer (example trailer size 4' x 8') or those looking to store seasonal items.
5' x 10' Storage Unit: Designed for those using a 10' moving truck and are looking to store roughly 1 bedrooms worth of items.
10' x 10' Storage Unit: Designed for roughly 2 bedrooms worth of space, taking up roughly a 17' moving truck.
10' x 15' Storage Unit: Designed for those using a 20' moving truck and roughly 3 bedrooms worth of items.
10' x 20' Storage Unit: Designed for those using a 26' moving truck and up to 4 bedrooms worth of items.

Level of Security Depends on Location

The level of security offered can vary depending on location. Most units typically offer both electronic gates and individually alarmed rooms. Comparing to other competing storage unit companies who may offer video surveillance, individual door alarms, security patrol, etc. this can be less than is desired. Before choosing a storage unit from U-Haul, it would be best to confirm with a representative of the location you're researching to confirm what security options are available.

No Unit Upkeep

Depending on your location, unit upkeep can be a factor. This can vary based on a number of factors, including the age of the unit, the climate the unit is in, etc. While online pictures are a good starting point to seeing what a storage unit has to offer as far as upkeep is concerned, it's strongly recommended to see a storage unit in-person before making any financial commitments.

Reimbursement Undisclosed

Unfortunately, we were unable to confirm any details surrounding potential reimbursement plans.

Have used this companies services several times. Most recently to rent utility trailer. I reserved a mid size trailer and when I got to the store the man asked what I was hauling. When I told him he suggested a smaller unit at less cost.

I recently assisted in helping an elderly friend move. U-Hual made transporting items from heavy couches to fragile decorations easier than ever. With an easy to slide ramp assisting with loading items, I would highly recommend U-Hual to anyone making a move.

My move was unexpected and rushed and I didn't have a new place yet so I put everything I owned into a 10×25 unit at uhaul. I barnyard fit it all in there- it was packed wall to wall to door to ceiling. Since I didn't have time to pack everything properly or unload it into my unit, I spent many days at my unit going there to pack my things better and to consolidate my unit so that it fit better. O Ajay had to go there often because everything I owned was in my unit and I was living out of a suitcase at a friend's so U airways had to go to my unit to get stuff I needed. I went there one day after not having been there for 2 or 3 days to find a notice on my unit door dying that I had been loitering at my unit and that I had 48 hours to vacate or I would be locked out and my things would be disposed of at my expense. By the time I got the notice I had less than 24 hours to be out. I don't have a vehicle or driver's license so I had to scramble to make arrangements for transportation, find a new place to store my things, and move what took several days to put there out in less than a day. I will never store there again!

We primarily use U-haul for moving from place to place and just doing that I feel that U-haul is a good company. They have quality trucks and are reasonably priced when moving locally. I can’t tell you about longer distances but I imagine that it would be just as cost effective ti rent a uhaul to move than to try and stuff as many little cars as you can. Great for convince sake.

Moving out can be a hassle but u-haul was very helpful. They have pretty cheap prices for storage units and trucks but they have good availability and were able to work with me to try and find a unit in a college town that was full during the move-out time.

I use U-Haul all the time when I am moving. I do think it is the best moving company and their trucks and equipment are extremely helpful. However, it can be a bit expensive and not having free movers to help you with the expenses you pay is not ideal. Moving is tough and while U-Haul makes it much easier, I do believe they should show more care and concern for their customers with free moving help, or at least a fairly cheap one.

U-Haul provides a service many of us have needed or will need in the future; a big vehicle to move many objects. However, the lack of professionalism in my experience with them, makes me contemplate if moving is really necessary. I had scheduled a U-Haul moving truck weeks in advance for pick up as soon as they opened on my move in date. When I arrived at the agreed time, they told me they did not have any trucks there the size I had requested and I would have to go look for one in another nearby U-Haul. Very inconvenient, set me back about 2 hours more than I had planned.

U-Haul storage screwed me over by giving away the storage room I had reserved for a Tuesday evening after I went to check out the morning after. I'm not sure if it was just my location or if that happens a lot with U-Haul but I am not ever going to look at storage solutions through them again.

I wish U-Haul offered more units! As big of a brand as they are, you would expect them to be able to handle their demand. Units are usually sold out in Tallahassee, and it gets frustrating. Do they know this is a college town?

When we moved, we had one week inbetween when we had to be out of one house before we could move into the next house. We used U-haul for both our moving vehicle and the storage unit. We rented for a full month when we only needed one week. Our belongings were safe and secure until the day we were able to move in.

My husband and I had to rent a storage unit for a while when we were in college. I'm not sure how we had that much stuff. It was probably more of a lack of space in our apartment at the time, but that's not really the point. I liked how U-Haul had a lot of different unit sizes so we didn't have to rent more space than we needed. This made it very affordable for us poor newlyweds. If I had to use a storage rental facility again in the future I would definitely check out U-Haul again.
