I signed up online and when I arrived I realized the storage locker I was assigned didn’t exist. I checked the maps and walked around the entire premises and couldn’t find it. I called support, but it was after 6pm and no was available to answer.

Like a prison

Having moved from Big Yellow to Shurgard, I'm very disappointed in the difference in quality. My fault for not viewing the Shurgard unit before moving in (it was the closest to where I needed it to be) but it is like a prison! Where Big Yellow is slick, clean, modern, spacious - with radio playing and a big car park, this is the opposite end of the scale. Admittedly they're extending at the moment so the tiny car park was full of builders' cars, but it was very awkward to park in there - never mind if I was trying to unload anything. The lifts are proper warehouse lifts with the two sets of doors to PULL closed yourself - not what i was expecting. And the units don't have roofs?! Just a wide mesh across the top - so dust and dirt can easily fall into your unit from the main roof above and dirty your stored items. I definitely wouldn't be storing personal stuff there - at least it's just work stuff that is mostly in boxes. I guess this is why they are so much cheaper than other sites for certain size units - though still incredibly expensive for others (price is based on demand, not pre-set!).

Great storage, lowest prices, best access tech

My new Shurgard unit costs a fraction of my previous units (I've used 5 different firms over recent years).
It's the cleanest of them all. Staff are great.
Access tech is a dream - no punching in long numbers in the rain, I just wave my phone and doors fly open instantly.
Took me 6 years but I found the firm I'll be using for all my storage needs from now on.
