    Read some helpful reviews of Prime Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    For personal reasons it’s a 3 for me for overall storage needs it’s a 4 when you think of just storing stuff decent enough time frame for access and accessibly a little tight to maneuver big vehicles in there but it’s manageable. As far as what you should store in there is another question. Some howe even while in my safe a lot of my tools oxidized which is weird and boxes formed some kind of what I think is mold. Weird definitely would stay away from storing any kind of electronics or things containing metal in there. ... Read more

    It’s such a relief when a company makes a cancellation smooth instead of turning it into a total headache! I had a fantastic experience with Prime Storage in San Diego. I recently had to cancel my storage setup, and their team handled everything seamlessly. They were incredibly quick to respond to my email request and showed a high level of courtesy. Excellent customer service goes a long way, and I greatly appreciate how easy they made this process. I would definitely rent from them in the future and highly recommend them! ... Read more

    Amazing Experience!! No scam baiting, told them my budget and exactly what I was looking for over the phone, gave me a great deal. When I arrived Mario was prompt and showed me to my unit. When we got to the unit, he said he didn’t like the one I was given, and took me to a better one for the same deal! So helpful and kind. ... Read more

    This location is perfect for our business needs. Cristina did such an incredible job that we needed up securing TWO units! Great price, easy access and professional staff. Couldn’t be happier with our experience. ... Read more
    Rene C. - 14 February 2026
    Prime Storage has large units available and we were able to walk in and get exactly what we needed at a fair price. Cristina was wonderful to work with… she walked us around the property to find the right space and was incredibly thorough with the information she provided. ... Read more
    Kelly A. - 10 January 2026
    Was told that if I gave enough notice I wouldn’t get hit with any extra fees. Absolutely not true as I was charged $35 for a termination fee. Will never do business through Prime storage again and don’t recommend them. Watch out for those hidden fees! ... Read more

    Cristina was AMAZING. She helped me get my first unit ever. Needed it immediately and she helped me get the best price possible in the area. When i asked about increases she was honest and told me just to come to her with any concerns and we would handle it together. Looks like she runs this place herself, while giving a great customer experience. ... Read more

    ? I can’t say enough good things about Christina—she’s amazing. So kind, so sweet, and truly a joy to work with. This place is wonderful. There’s a nice breeze, it doesn’t feel depressing, and the prices are great. But honestly, it’s Christina who makes the whole experience exceptional. She never pressures you, she’s incredibly thorough, and she takes the time to show you all the options—different sizes, layouts, everything. She’s just so easy to talk to and genuinely cares. Her customer service is outstanding. And another huge plus—there are no stairs! The drive-up lockers make everything even more convenient. I absolutely love this place! ... Read more
    Anikai G. - 4 August 2025
    I booked and paid for a storage unit with Prime online and was given a Gate Code to access my unit after booking. I was excited about how easy that was. Upon arrival with a full truck of my belongings, my Gate Code did not work and I was unable to access my storage unit, let alone locate it- despite the fact that my lease had started. When I tried to call for support (because no one was on site on Memorial Day) I was met with condescension and an extreme lack of customer service. If you’re off for the holiday, I get it. But don’t give me directions and access codes that don’t work when I want to move things in because my lease says I can. I was forced to book another storage container, with a different company last minute, since I had a full truck and gracious friends there to assist my move. I’ve tried calling and emailing to cancel my unit… with no success. Today, they sent me an email that said, “How was your experience? Thank you for choosing Prime Storage! Please take a moment to leave us a review.” So here I am. Hopefully this catches your attention this time. I’d like a refund. ... Read more

    Although I have only had this storage unit for about 2 weeks or so, I am at this point happy with how the process has gone. Sign up was easy and quick. The guy that helped me gave me all the special pricing to help me out and found me the perfect size unit at a budget I could afford. I love that they stay open until 10pm and that I have not seen a bunch of scum bags hanging around the property like I have at other storage places. So far so good. ... Read more
    Alisha R. - 21 January 2025
    My husband and I rented a storage unit here for years ( over 10 years) and we went through management changes, but this location has never disappointed us. They have clean and unobstructed streets, the accessibility is easy ( phone/code), the hours to get in/out are fair and the location, on our opinion is the best of all! ... Read more
    Claudia S. - 3 January 2025
    I do not recommend this location for Prime Storage. The manager here is not nice and has her favorites. I was told when I arrived late in the day with a 26 foot U-Haul by myself that it was ok to stay after hours and that to call and she would let me in. I did and still had more to unload. That night I noticed many people there late and a few living there. However the next time I was there late, she told me to pack up and leave in 3 days after I had loaded in a 10x40 AND a 10x10 by myself. She also kept all my money and wouldn’t reimburse me. Horrible experience. ... Read more

    Customer service by Christina @ Mission Bay was EXCELLENT! She took extra time and corrected a mistake I did online when reserving space.

    Frequently Asked Questions
