Read some helpful reviews of Derrel-s Mini Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Sara B. - 22 August 2025
I’ve rented storage units at Derrel’s Mini Storage in San Luis Obispo both recently—over the past two years—and also about 20 years ago, and I continue to be impressed by how consistently well-managed this facility is. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and professional, making every interaction smooth and stress-free. The facility itself is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with conveniences that truly set it apart: a 3-yard trash dumpster, a 3-yard recycling dumpster, and even a 96-gallon green waste container, which is a rare and appreciated feature. There’s also an on-site restroom—a practical bonus if you’re in the middle of organizing your unit or making a long trip. One thing I really appreciate is how flexible Derrel’s is with unit changes. If you need to switch to a larger or smaller size mid-contract, just let them know—they’ll work with you to accommodate the change whenever possible. Their prices are the lowest in the area, and they typically offer various lease terms with great discounts especially when you prepay for a full year. The location is excellent, making it a convenient choice for anyone in or near San Luis Obispo. After years of experience with storage facilities, I can say with confidence that Derrel’s Mini Storage is top-notch. Highly recommended. ... Read more

This place is great! We’re visiting from out of town and needed a temporary unit to hold our building materials for our project. The drive up outdoor access was must for us. I only wish they were open past 7pm. The front desk gal Havvah is a gem. She’s very knowledgeable and accommodating. We’ve considering relocating storage across town but these guys keep their pricing competitive and that’s why we stayed. It’s the best price for a safe and secure unit with no rodent issues. ...

Had a great experience getting my first storage unit. The process could not have been simpler, made reservations online the day before and signed all the paperwork in the office when I got here to SLO with my Uhaul! ... Read more

Great facility. Units are clean and maintained. Doors close well with dust guards on the door. They sprayed for insects and have rodent protection. The office is clean and professional, and their computer system and website are well designed. Even the gates work with requiring code in and out. It's nice. ... Read more

Great service! Clean environment. I felt very safe and I know my stuff is safe. She was very up front with me on costs and grace periods. This storage place is not out for your money like most are. I highly recommend. ... Read more
