Public Storage Reviews Reviews Summary

Public Storage's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to steep and frequent price increases, inadequate customer service, and poor management responsiveness. Many customers report feeling neglected, with unresolved issues regarding billing and unit security leading to frustration. While some locations receive praise for their cleanliness and helpful staff, these positive experiences appear inconsistent. Overall, the feedback suggests a troubling trend of unprofessional practices and a lack of accountability, prompting customers to caution others about their experiences and consider alternative storage options.

Customer Service
May 14, 2021

I had a great experience with a young lady name Martha a couple of weeks ago. She was friendly, professional and patient with the questions I asked. Especially adding the app to my cell phone, truly appreciated this so much. Keep up the great work Martha!

I rented four Public Storage units six months ago. I used the autopay for all four units. All was well until this month. Public Storage decided to change a security setting on their website (and didn't bother to let customers know until way too late). All of a sudden, my autopay was cancelled and I was told my bank was declining my payments. This was not the case. I literally spent six hours on four calls to "customer service." Every single time I was told it was "fixed" and my payments would be correctly debited. Every single time it was not "fixed." Finally, I went to the Public Storage location and was told, again, that it was "fixed." I was also charged $60 in "late fees" even though I was not the reason for the late payment. The very next day, I get a text from Public Storage saying my payments were due and I was going to be charged late fees because of it. My autopay was cancelled for the third time. Another 90-minute call later, I'm told it's "fixed" again. I sincerely doubt it. All I know is that I've lost $60 and I keep getting increasingly rude calls/texts/emails saying I'm not paying my bill. I can't get my items out of these units fast enough. I'm ready to pay over $1,000 to rent a moving truck just to get away from this terrible company.

They have upped the rent by almost 50$ in a year, if you miss the rent one time they lock you out and threaten to sell your unit! Please don't use this company find a better one, you won't regret it!

I wouldn't recommend renting space at Public Storage unless you are prepared to spend 47% more than the original price in 1 year's time. My 5 x 10 storage unit started at $66 then went up to $75 after 6 months then up to $97 at 1 year of renting space there.

This is a Countrywide issue as I have also rented space in another state with price increases every 6 month.

Suggest you go to a local company instead of Public Storage who DIS their loyal customers.

I'm a happy returning customer from years ago. It's a pleasure to see that Ms. Tammy is still here with her warm welcoming spirit. Her customer service is one of the best that I've encountered in years. She is definitely one of the reasons I returned, plus the climate control units at are available. Ms. Tammy was very helpful with my check in process and gave me all the information I needed. She definitely deserves a raise!

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED
April 21, 2021

This is the WORST storage company I've EVER had to deal with! Not only did they allow someone to run into my super small unit with a UHAUL but they were also so negligent that hundreds of dollars I spent on my granddaughter was wasted and REFUSED TO REIMBURSE me for my loss all because they were TOO LAZY TO COVER THE GAPING HOLE FOR 19 DAYS! In those 19 days we had snow and a week straight of rain! Now they refuse to reimburse me for a month that I wasn't even in the unit! PUBLIC STORAGE IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A BUSINESS!

Karen the best
April 19, 2021

I've been a customer for over 4 yrs at 3000 South Federal Boynton Beach Florida ******* and would like to say that no matter how bad my day is Karen although wearing her mask due to Pandemic always makes me smile with her up beat personality and constant ways to inform others how they can enjoy what that older but special location has to offer. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Dave's Pressure Cleaning

Yesterday I was privileged to be assisted by Bran at the Ukee Street Public Storage. She was outstanding and extremely helpful beyond expectation! How I wish I could encounter more individuals like Bran. She is certainly an exceptional individual and I am forever grateful as she is without doubt a most valuable employee of Public Storage. Thank you, Bran!
