Efficient storage facililty not far from city centre. Hassle free booking which we did at the front gate. No office- everything done onlie. Good app based solution for opening gates. A bit overpriced... See more

Shurgard storage is very good in terms of accessibility and safety. The storage space can be accessed 24/7 using the shurgard app and I find it very convenient.

Incorrect Access Code & Service Failure

I had a very poor experience with Shurgard in Utrecht (Cartesius). The access code they provided for my unit was incorrect, and although they said Customer Service was available on Sunday, no one answered my calls. Throughout the following days, multiple representatives told me I would be called back, yet no call ever came. It took four working days and repeated follow-up on my side before someone finally confirmed the access code had been wrong. Extremely disappointing service and lack of reliable support.

The code and app pass didn’t work for the elevator and there is no solution after one week. It is super annoying and I lost a lot of money because I cannot have access to the storage space

Effortless Booking and Access, with a Minor Key Pick-up Confusion: Overall Positive Storage Experience in Utrecht.

It was the first time in my life that I used such storage. (location Utrecht). Overall, I had a very positive experience. Booking online was effortless, and understanding how to access the storage was straightforward.

I do have one minor comment: it wasn't clear to me how and when I should get the key. I called two days before to inquire, and initially, I was told I could obtain the key in the office. However, on my second call, I was informed that I had to go to the main office. Fortunately, the keys were waiting inside the box, so I didn't need to go anywhere.

I arrived at the storage facility one day before the rental period started to ensure everything was clear and that I could access the box. Unfortunately, I couldn't access it because the rental period hadn't begun. It might be helpful to add a sentence stating that customers can access the storage starting from the first day of the rental. Other than that, everything was extremely positive.
