Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 700 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, frequently highlighting the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff. Customers consistently praise the excellent service, noting that everything is explained clearly and the process is easy and efficient from start to finish. The facilities are described as clean, well-kept, and secure, with convenient features like 24/7 access, available trolleys, and additional amenities such as kitchens and meeting rooms. Many people also appreciate the competitive pricing and various deals, including free van services and flexible options. However, some customers also noted that the lighting within the storage units could be minimal for sorting, and a few experienced rude interactions with staff members. Additionally, some reviewers felt the insurance part of the rental was too expensive and did not account for differing values of stored goods.

Excellent, Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff who talked through details and reassured. Never done storage before as we have not moved in over 40 years and it was nice to have staff that didn’t mind explaining entry procedures again.
