In their own words
For the clealiness of the storage: It was very dusty and the floors looked bad in the halls. It set off my allergies and made me itchy. They mopped and it was still dirty. It had roaches and lots of termites. Every time I went there, I found dead bugs in my unit and on my plastic containers. There were so many little bugs. There was a big roach trap outside my storage with bugs and a roach on it. There were huge rodent traps in the units.
Update: The place is still short staffed. To top it off they’ve increased weekly rental rates for a smaller truck 20 cents a mile; and on weekends they put the price up 60 cents per mile. Which increases rental pricing significantly and the reasoning was to aid with the high demand on rentals. That is insane considering the place is still short staff and trucks aren’t properly taken care of. So let’s get more money from the customer and provide less quality. Old review: The young woman who helped me was great.
⭐ 1 Star By far one of the most unprofessional businesses I have ever dealt with. This location tried to charge us over $1,000 for damage that was already on the truck before we rented it. Instead of conducting a proper investigation or listening to us as paying customers, they immediately jumped to accusations and treated us like we were lying. What made the situation even worse was the way they handled it. After everything was explained, they called back not to resolve the issue, but to argue.
It took a long time to get through the rental process. The represented was working at computer with a slow operating system. He asked for my information multiple times. I couldn't understand why I couldn't use my own family's house number as an alternative contact, when it was because of them that I was renting from this location. Then when I needed to extend my rental, I couldn't find my account because the representative still entered my information incorrectly.
I visited this U-Haul location on Saturday to purchase some boxes. Despite being the only customer in the store, the checkout process was unnecessarily slow. Several employees were present, but instead of assisting, they stood around chatting while I waited. The lack of attention and professionalism was disappointing. If I can avoid it, I won’t be returning. Very poor customer service.
I would never recommend anyone to use this facility or U-Haul in general. Problems I had were never addressed properly and hidden fees were applied without my knowledge. Definitely happy to be done with them. Even speaking with the corporate office was horrible.
I rented a defective truck from U-Haul location 225 Scotland Road, Orange NJ 07050. This was October 6th 2024. The check engine light was on. I notified a U-Haul representative that the check engine light was on. His response was “don’t …
I reserved a 10-foot U-Haul truck a full month in advance for my son's college apartment move-out day as his lease was expiring on May 31. Despite receiving multiple confirmation texts throughout the week leading up to my rental, my …

In their own words
My experience with U-Haul was good overall. The truck was clean and did exactly what I needed it to do. The real highlight, though, was the movers I hired—Darrell’s crew. They were respectful, efficient, fast, and very careful with my belongings. They truly went above and beyond and made a stressful day so much easier. If you’re booking, I highly recommend requesting Darrell’s crew.

The system was down in all locations when we arrived to pick up our truck. The GM of this location went so far above and beyond to help us. It’s just rare to get that kind of assistance and it’s so appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks for choosing U-Haul! We're happy to have been a part of your journey and appreciate the positive feedback.
When we dropped off our 15' truck here, we did so in a state of full stress after a very hard 6hr ride through Manhattan. To add to this stress, we realized we had made a minor mistake on the billing. …
