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

We travel the Nation. Use multiple Storage units across the country. Was walking out of the unit the other day and was told by Darren we couldn’t use the unit for our Motorcycles anymore. Cool, no problem let me make a phone call real quick to the people who sold me the unit. Darren starts raising his voice and getting loud and combative over me wanting to make a phone call and starts threatening to kick me out of the facility to the point where Im extremely uncomfortable and had to remove myself and hide in my car. Zero professionalism and no impulse control on this District Manager Darren. I’m assuming since this company promoted this guy to that position that they could care less about this post and Darren. So this is directed at anyone who might be considering using this facility. Avoid at all costs. ... Read more

Both Darren and Fred have gone above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. I had a couple situations of my own doing that they both volunteered to handle so that everything went smoothly for me. I am thrilled to have this space and deal with customer services this good!! Highly recommend them! ... Read more

They blocked me from sending a review to there team! To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this letter as a formal complaint regarding intimidation, retaliatory conduct, and unprofessional behavior by an employee who identified himself as the manager at the Prime Storage facility in Bradenton, Florida. The facts and timeline below are accurate and should be reflected clearly in your records. First Incident (Prior Date – Phone Call): On a prior date, I was contacted by phone by this employee regarding bed rails that had been placed neatly at the dumpster area for disposal. During that phone call, I was told that if I did not return to the facility before the close of business, I would be charged $100. This statement was made verbally, without any written notice, without reference to my lease, and without any written policy being provided to me. I complied with the instruction and removed the bed rails. No further issues occurred that day, and no written warning or documentation was provided. Second Incident (Today – In Person): Today’s incident was separate. I want this stated clearly: I was not speaking to, engaging with, or addressing this employee in any manner. I was standing at my rented storage unit on a private phone call when he approached me and instructed me to “quiet down.” I informed him that I was not bothering anyone. As he walked away toward the office, he made a statement to the effect of “I’ll show you what I can do,” after taking my storage unit number. He did not mention any specific fee or dollar amount during this encounter. However, the statement itself, combined with his actions, felt intimidating and retaliatory. I have been a tenant at this facility for some time and have never had any issues until this individual arrived at the site. I was already in the process of vacating my unit, as this is my final month. When I requested to speak with someone over him, he stated that he was the manager. On a separate occasion, I observed another individual in the main office who appeared to hold managerial authority. When I attempted to address the matter, the office door was shut, and I was denied access to upper management. I also attempted to contact corporate management by phone and was unsuccessful at that time. I was later told that a letter had been issued, yet I never received it, nor were its contents explained to me. I respectfully request: A formal review of this employee’s conduct Written confirmation that no retaliatory or undocumented fees will be assessed Written clarification of Prime Storage’s policies regarding dumpster use and item removal Assurance that tenants are not subjected to intimidation while accessing their units Please document this complaint and escalate it to the appropriate regional or corporate management level. I request a written response. Sincerely, Dr. Yvette M. Resto Bradenton, Florida Tenant – Prime Storage ... Read more

Had a horrible experience and would never recommend them. I've had storages basically my whole adult life and never have I had such a disgusting experience dealing with "men" I know men today look down on women and make it known that they think we are dumb, but it's not ok when businesses treat women like they did me. Do better. ... Read more

Darren was the only one working on the day we brought our RV for storage. He was friendly and accommodating. The space we weee assigned had tree branches that our RV wouldn’t fit under and he was quick to change our spot. ... Read more

Five stars for now... Very good initial rates. I'm hoping they didn't bait me into a attractive rate and then drastically increase it in the next few months. I'll update this comment a few months down the road. The facility itself is very nice and well taken care of. I usually can't find a cart so I have to move everything with my own dolly. ... Read more

I recently moved and picked Prime due to it's proximity to my home. It was a great decision. A storage unit is not unique, but the young woman who signed me up for a unit is. She excels in Customer Service, a dying attribute. In a recent visit it appeared that she has been promoted to a supervisory position. I am very impressed that this company sees and acknowledges a valuable employee. ... Read more

I had a great experience at Prime Storage! Diana was absolutely amazing — super friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She made everything so easy for me and answered all my questions with a smile. The facility itself is very clean, well-maintained, and the security gives me peace of mind. The system is also really simple to use, even for a first-timer like me. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for storage. Big thanks to Diana for her outstanding service! Five stars all the way! ... Read more

I had an amazing experience working with Deanna! From the moment I walked in, she was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in helping me find the perfect storage solution. I wasn’t quite sure what size unit I needed, but Deanna took the time to ask the right questions and made sure I got exactly what fit my needs—nothing more, nothing less. Her knowledge and attention to detail made the entire process quick and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the unit she recommended. If you’re looking for great service and someone who truly cares, ask for Deanna. She’s the best! ... Read more

I had an amazing experience with Prime Storage! The customer service was top-notch from start to finish, and I can’t say enough great things about Deanna. She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. I needed multiple units for my business, and she went out of her way to make sure they were all located close to each other, which made everything so much more convenient. Deanna made the whole process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a storage facility that truly values its customers, look no further—ask for Deanna. She’s fantastic! ... Read more

The girls in the office are great! The building is not secured at night, there are homeless people getting in. Plus there are no carts to bring your stuff to the unit. The place is really clean and well kept overall. I only am giving this a two because of the no cart situation and my storage is in the center of the building and security. ... Read more
