Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 3840 Portola Drive, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Kevin J. - 7 March 2026
Paz was super helpful. Showed me a couple units and was extremely informative and friendly and made me feel like this storage space was not only professional and secure but also filled with positive energy. I asked if I could upgrade from a personal to a business account at some point in the future without changing the lease. This was a pretty obscure request, so Paz spent time speaking with multiple district managers to gather enough information before giving me a thorough answer. Thanks Paz ... Read more

I need access to my online account in order to use the mobile app to open the gate, but I can't get into my online account. I get a message saying the password is incorrect. I'm supposed to get a password reset email when I click on the Forgot Password button, but the email never comes. Automated customer is no help and I have not been able to get a live agent. EDIT: At some point in the reservation process I had to create a password for my email address. I thought that doing so created an online account. It turns out I had not actually created an online account. It would have been a lot less confusing if the login website said something like "No account has been created with that username" instead of "Password incorrect". The "Password incorrect" message implies that an account had been created and that I needed to recover my password. I was able to eventually reach a live customer support agent who helped me create an online account. I used the app to open the gate. I realize some of the confusion lies with me. If there were not so much confusion I would have given a 4 star rating. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 3840 Portola Drive has to offer. These amenities include Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, 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 Public Storage - 3840 Portola Drive can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 150 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 Public Storage - 3840 Portola Drive come at a variety of prices, starting from $123 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $433 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!
