Read some helpful reviews of A-1 Self Storage at 9893 Riverford Road, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I would give them no starts if I could. Renters beware!! Nice does not equal trust worthy. My storage unit was broken into and I was deceived. Many items were stolen and the thief got away with it. The manager kept very important information from me. Well more like lied to me. Make sure no one sees what you are storing. When our unit was broken into and property was stolen they called us the next day. Why wait! What is there to hide? I should not have to visit every weekend to check my unit. We entrusted our property to the facility to be safe from damage and theft. That is why we are paying the $12 extra to insure our property. You should have cameras in every floor to deter theft. We should have been offered a year of free storage. Bad business model to hide the truth. Bad experience!!! We were offered way less than what the property was worth about 50% less. Warning?? property might get stolen. 8/2024 Update-not sharing my full name for a reason. I don't trust your company and the employees. 8/29/25- a year later still have not asked me to come by to rectify the issue. ... Read more

Had the best experience and actually rented a space then and there. The attendant was very professional and she helped us with all questions. We were just looking for the moment but she took the liberty of asking us if we wanted to see any units now. We were happy to look as she offered so quickly. Thanks again! ... Read more

This place is a complete rip off. Do not store your stuff here unless you want to see your rates raised every year by about $40 each time. Before you know it, you are paying $475 a month for one non-climate controlled unit. Every year they claim “market conditions” cause them to raise their rates, but never tell you what market conditions. It is all a greedy money grab with this place. For those of you like me who already rent units there, get out now cause their rates will just continue to go up every year until you are basically paying another mortgage to them just to store your stuff. I cannot warn anyone looking for storage enough, DO NOT GO HERE! I promise you will regret it. ... Read more

Your representatives went above and beyond standard customer service and it was appreciated. I was called at the onset and help offered. When I determined I would not need your service after all, I treated courteously and respectfully as they cheerfully closed out my request. Should I be in need of a storage facility in the future A-1 Storage is my go to place. Great job you guys! ... Read more

They have very friendly and helpful staff. No matter who assists you. We had gone to another faculty before A-1, and there was no one in the office. Called the number on the door and no one answered, and this was in the middle of the day during business hours. But, at A-1 someone always answered the calls quickly, if they weren't already in the office. They answered all our questions, since this was our first time renting storage. They walked us around showing is elevator access, restrooms and the gate system. A-1 is a very clean and safe facility. The other faculty had plywood walls between units and doors and hot. A-1 had metal walls and solid does, used undated locking system, and were cool inside. Units were easy to access to move our things in and out. We'd definitely use them again if we needed storage services again anywhere. ... Read more

This place is amazing. The staff are amazing. They are friendly and helpful. They even personally walked me to my unit and opened it for me to see. They don't just hand you a map with your unit circled like motels do. The units are nice and clean. I'm totally satisfied. I was there for 6 months. Every time I walked into the front office, I was greeted with a smile and a friendly face. I won't go anywhere else. After 6 months, my rent would've gone up $5. It's still worth it. The place is kept immaculate with no rodents or pests. ... Read more

These amenities include Indoor, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by A-1 Self Storage - 9893 Riverford Road can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 250 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by A-1 Self Storage - 9893 Riverford Road come at a variety of prices, starting from $54 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $494 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
