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.

My husband and I rented a storage unit for two years from them. In this time frame they tried jacking our price up 4 different times. The last time i called and spoke with the district manager, whom was conveniently at that office location "SELLING OFF PEOPLES PROPERTY THAT COULDNT AFFORD THE PRICE INCREASE". I made that man a promise that day that I would inform others of what this company was doing. He took it as a threat but really people need to know. They will lease to you and then increase your rental and inform you by email only, so they can make a profit off of you when you cant afford it.
And then...
On top of this when moving our stuff out, we stopped by to do the right thing and pay the two days extra for this establishment to hold our stuff. We bought a home. Rent was due on the 1st. Moved our stuff out the 2nd. We were told we had to pay THE WHOLE MONTH! Two days equal a whole month. I nearly jumped over the counter when that smug employee told me this.
Uhhhhhh, people store your stuff in a friends garage. Throw most of your stuff out that you can live without. Donate it.
This has been a horrible experience for my family. Im trying to warn you. They do not have good intentions. This company is so disgraceful, with no care for people that it amazes me they are still in business. They remind me of leeches... suck the damn life out of you!

Horrible service
October 6, 2020

Cass is by far the rudest and inconsiderate person I ever had to deal with at public storage. First off I waited for her to come down from the top of the building over an hour she smelled like a pack of cigarettes and she had no sense of urgency I'm sorry but I'm taking my business elsewhere to Self Storage. Never again public storage sucks address 2308 N John Young parkway Orlando Florida

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! Even though I paid with a credit card, my unit is locked. I've been to the unit 3 or 4 times, and it's almost full with my property. And now the damn thing is locked. Since I went there after hours, I wasted a trip, and I can't get back into my unit until normal business hours.

I am very satisfied with the service that I received on 8/15/20 from Tonya. The process was very thorough, she explained everything to me, was very courteous and attentive to my needs. I would definitely recommend this Public Storage Co. # ******* in North Charleston, SC located on 2560 Ashley Phosphate Rd. Patrice was very nice and helpful also

I would like to thank both, Brandi, and Amanda for all their help. From day one they have gone above and beyond their duties, to help get us in short notice, and then to downsize to a smaller unit. Two of the nicest people, who deserve to be in customer service! Thank you both so much, Marion and Dennis Harris
