Read some helpful reviews of StorageMart at 125 South 13th Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I had a great experience with Eddie at StorageMart on SW 63rd. He was friendly and took his time to make sure we got our vehicle storage needs taken care of. He definitely treats people with respect and was professional. ... Read more

Won’t pro-rate the amount you paid for the month upon move out. I’ve had 4-5 storage units over the years and this is the only place that said “nope sorry” when I moved out the 3rd of the month after they debited my account only days earlier. Also very expensive for what I was getting. $70 / Month for an outdoor parking space under trees that were making a mess all over my camper. The facilities were nice enough. Just think that the customer service is lacking and the price point was high. ... Read more

Online reservation pricing is misleading. Thought I was paying for first month of rent but nope. I got a billed 2 days later for first month rent and no email stating I had a bill due until it was late so they could charge me a late fee. Haven't even moved my stuff in yet and I'm already cancelling. This place is a SCAM. Go for locally owned storage options. ... Read more

Customer service here is so amazing. My code wasn't working because I was in the wrong section as google maps kept telling me the wrong side of the area. They got me in and to my unit on a weekend in an emergency. Can't give five stars cuz my unit was not as cool as I expected nor as clean. ... Read more

I haven't even moved in yet, but I talked to a nice lady on the phone, Rebecca. She was very helpful in getting me all set up, walking me through the process, and telling me everything I needed to know. Felt like I was talking to someone I knew my whole life! Absolutely loved it. ... Read more

Deplorable, unethical customer service. They game you whenever they can. I normally set up an automated payment with my bank to send a check with sufficient time to cover the payment. But how can you when the contact notes: "Remember, merely having made the payment by sending it in the U.S. Mail or by any other means does not constitute having made a payment; rather, the payment must be in the hands of the OPERATOR by the due date." I've never seen such a thing in a contract. And the website only allows you to pay one UNITEMIZED amount on line with extra charges that they impose after gaming you. They send bills for a few months to get you accustomed to paying the bill, but when they stop they can note in the lease that "An invoice or bill will not be sent to you." You effectively can only pay on line for an amount that has extra charges that are not itemized. I would never set up automated payments on their website, with such an intentionally misleading operation. I would give this .00001 stars if possible. ... Read more

How is this type of price gouging even legal? It should be criminal the amount they increase your rent to. Nothing else to say but what a garbage company. Going to close my account. The rent went from $179 to $339 in only 1.5 years. All of this while offering monthly rates for $150-$170 for the same size unit. So they know people won’t want to move their stuff every 4 months and they take advantage of you for that. It is the definition of bait and switch. What a horrible way to do business. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that StorageMart - 125 South 13th Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted 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 StorageMart - 125 South 13th Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 400 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.

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!
