Be prepared for additional cost!!! There's a $20 Administration Fee, $10 Cylinder Lock Fee (unreturnable), $10 per month Customer Goods Protection Plan that you must get if you don't have a Home Owner's Insurance policy & rent raise increases. My unit rent went up $15 after 6 months of signing up & got out before my 1st year is up due to another possible rent increase. It's sad because you'll see the same rate for the same unit size getting promoted again as soon as the very next day. They would rather cause you the inconven... read more

We were looking for a storage place ASAP!!!! Well let me tell you this place is awesome!!!! They're customer service is EXCELLENT!!!! We got a storage Saturday and ended up needing another storage...sooo we got another one Sunday. IT'S super easy and fast to get a storage here all they ask for is ID that's it, no deposit, no down payment just simple and straightforward. They do require you to have renters insurance but hey this is an extra fee to secure your belongings. They also take the time to show you to the unit! The un... read more

Used A-1 storage for three years without incident. The initial set up process was seem less. The facilities were ways clean, rodent and bug free. My possessions were safe and secure at this facility. I am giving 4 stars only because in the past two prices did start to go up. But you pay for the convenience and security of storing your belongings. 

Business response:

Thank you so much, Jessica. We value your business & appreciate that you've taken the time to share your storage experience!

Corina was very helpful and pleasant when I first went to check out the unit. I also asked if we could see the unit to see if all my stuff would fit in it... The units and grounds we're very clean. I definitely would recommend this place. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your storage experience with us, Gracey. We'll be sure to forward your kind words to Corina!

My mom has had a storage unit with A1 for more than 4 years now. Because we know everything is safe with this company we have not visited. Just recently Darlene helped my mother to ensure her space was safe and save on the additional insurance fees. Darlene was professional, kind, and helpful. We appreciate her business so very much. Definitely a valued member of the staff. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your storage experience with us, Kaia. We'll be sure to forward your kind words to Darlene!

The fact that there are no available carts like other places is a huge negative and very inconvenient. This place appears to be packed with handymen basically working out of the storage units here. Customer service? There is none after hours, so no one to get help from. So annoying. Instead of moving my stuff I'm here complaining in yelp. Very bad experience. Note to management: put more carts out! 

Business response:

We're sorry to hear you're dissatisfied, Michael. I'd like to put you in touch with our area manager. Please email us at social@a1storage.com with your contact information so that we may further assist you.

This was my first time using a storage unit. I used a 10x5 unit for all my belongings during en extended period of time (8 months while I was deployed) fit two bedrooms of furniture (couch, nightstands, large dresser, queen bed, dining room set, coffee table, tv, appliances) and all my clothes /etc (15 large boxes). Every month I got an email of my bill, as expected. I set up auto-pay before I left, so it basically no work on my end. The price is great for what you get. They give you three copies of the key. No issues with b... read more

I have had several storage units at this facility because it was close to the University of San Diego and I was generally pressed for time. The staff was nice enough at first, although there is always a sign for "deals" out front, and when I asked about them they told me they did not have any deals happening at the time. When I went to move my belongings out of the unit I asked if they had any dumpster or trash on site and they told me no. What kind of storage unit facility doesn't have an onsite dumpster or even a trash can... read more
