    I was sweetly greeted by Ariana the moment I entered the facility. She was professional and very detailed in the information she gave me regarding the type of unit I was interested in. She went above and beyond the normal “showing” and provided me with written notes, and later made paper copies of what we discussed regarding the rental unit. She was a true professional with the most delightful attitude. Thank you, Ariana, you were great. :) ... Read more

    I just started my rental today so this review is based on opening your account. I did a quick Google search, found the best prices were A-1, chose my option and started to check out, had a question so I called the number, got an even better offer with suggestions for my needs and I'm so happy I called. The operator made it so easy and was so nice. It was a quick and convenient process. ... Read more
    Kathy O. - 18 October 2024
    Friendly and efficient staff. I signed up online, where it is not disclosed that as a new customer I needed to present myself in person and show my ID at the office. This would not have been a problem, had I known ahead of time that the office hours were different than the facility hours (office closes at 6pm, facility closes at 10pm). This cost me an extra day of truck rental. ... Read more
