    Storage Etc. has been amazing to work with! Not only do they have the best prices around, but the staff is incredibly helpful. Krista at the front desk was especially wonderful-friendly, professional, and so easy to work with. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend! ... Read more

    I would not recommend doing business here. When I first met with them the week prior, they were friendly and seemed professional, but that completely changed when it came time to finalize everything. I called on Thursday to confirm for Saturday and was told the price and $20 admin fee would be honored. They also promised a $1 deposit for the first month, but that turned out to be a lie. Initially, they quoted me $138, but when I arrived they said it was $145. They tried to make me pay the full first month upfront, which totaled $207, even though it was only supposed to be the $1 deposit and $20 admin fee. I drove there with my trailer, wasting gas and time, only to be met with this bait-and-switch. They claimed that their computer program had recently changed and they couldn’t honor the $20 admin fee, but I strongly suspect that wasn’t true. When I questioned it, instead of resolving the issue, I was told I could just go somewhere else. This kind of bait-and-switch tactic feels dishonest and very unprofessional. The property itself was also concerning. The lot is filled with run-down cars and is being used as a storage facility, which doesn’t feel secure. I would not feel comfortable leaving an RV or anything valuable there. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a more trustworthy business. ... Read more

    Please be wary of this place if renting a storage unit. Its built on what used to be a landfill and the ground is always shifting. They should really provide a disclaimer to customers before renting out units. I constantly had to call maintenance to come out to my unit because my door was sinking and I couldn't get it open. Eventually, I had to transfer to a different unit, and then immediately had problems with the door again. The units are not clean at all and I even had water damage to my belongings when it rained. I had a 5x7 at around $70 a month. And with all the problems getting into my unit they just said, "We're on a landfill. Clients end up moving to other units or finding a different storage facility." Don't waste your money there. ... Read more

    John W. - 30 November 2024
    I was very unhappy with the service & space provided. I rented this space with a $1 for the 1st month special & was told that I MUST pay for the 2nd month by the agent & manager when I arrived. That is not the agreement I had when I signed up online. I am shocked that the Storage Etc., Carson agents would claim that I must pay for a 2nd month. My agreement was only to pay $1 for the 1st month as advertised, plus the additional $20 admin fee. Nowhere does it say in writimg that I am agreeing to stay there for 2 months. Despite this the agent & manager (1 man & 1 woman) who were there when I moved in tried telling me that I had to stay for 2 months. They also tried to tell me that my month ended on September 30, 2023, despite the fact that I moved in on September 11th, 2023. I explained that the promotion said I had a full month free in writing per my email, but the receipt they gave me for the money I paid for the first month ($1 + $20 admin fee) only went until September 30, 2023. They claimed I HAD to pay again starting Oct 1st for the full month of October 2023. After a long day I did not want to argue with people who chose to ignore the promotion that was in writing & decided to ignore any logic. I stored my RV & left, very frustrated with the staff, especially the property manager. I was trying out this location & service. It FAILED. Not only were the agents not knowledgeable or properly honoring the $1 for the first month promotion that was in writing but they did not seem to understand logic. On top of that I was given a paper that stated I needed to let the property staff know when I was taking my vehicle in & out of the property. They claimed it was for my benefit. I've NEVER had any rental that I pay for tell me I have to let them know when I want to come & go. That is just creepy & invasive. Finally the space is way too small. It seems like they want to cram as many vehicles as they can into the smallest space possible. Take out a parking space so that it's possible to open doors without hitting the adjacent vehicle. The spaces are smaller than they should be. I'd rather pay a little more than worry about being able to barely fit in a space I pay for. Too much greed. Overall this is a poorly run facility that lacks appropriate space sizing to park RVs. I would not recommend them to anyone. Especially anyone who wants to keep their vehicle nice. ... Read more
