Read some helpful reviews of Storage Star, 2809 Lager Drive, Champaign, IL 61822, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

The 10'x5' (10 wide x5 deep) is not 5ft deep. It is closer to 3. Measure before you rent. This facility makes you buy their lock then refund if you have your own. They will also go around and put "extra space" stickers on your lock because apparently ppl have had their locks taken and replaced . (Free advertising...very poor practice) This facility has broken gates. *****EDIT: The "owner " has replied to this review to "contact him", but I have spoken to him and one of his (very nice) staff already... The offer to resolve is only because of this review. They did nothing to resolve this after to speaking to him personally about this false advertisement. ***EDIT#2**** Upon speaking with staff, I was advised under direction of Chris, the mgr, that all measurements are listed as ..and I quote.."APPROXIMATE". This unit is not even 4ft deep. ... Read more

Chris has been fantastic to work with at this location! He assisted us in getting a good deal on a unit pretty quickly and hasn't made us feel silly for any questions we've had. Move in for the unit was about as easy as it could ever be which leads into how painless and stress free the whole process is. 100% recommend anyone needing a unit, regardless of size, to use this location. One of the best experiences from all storage facilities in the area we've ever had ... Read more

?I cannot speak highly enough about the team at extra space storage Kim and Jess. Their level of dedication and personalized customer service goes far beyond what you would ever expect from a storage facility. ?The move-in process was smooth and professional, and Kim initially went out of her way to help me find reliable local workers when I was under pressure. ?However, the true measure of their exceptional service is this: because I am currently out of state, Kim and Jess are personally watching over my unit for me. This incredible act of trust and commitment shows they genuinely care about their customers and the security of their belongings. Knowing they are there to monitor things provides unbeatable peace of mind.If you are looking for a reliable, clean, and secure storage solution where the staff treats you like family, extra space is the only choice. Thank you, Kim and Jess! ... Read more

Chris at Extra Space Storage was great! He was very professional, a good listener and displayed very good customer service. I wanted to rent a space from him even though they didn't have what I was looking for. I will definitely recommend that people call Chris if they are looking for storage space. This was my first time ever meeting him. I have a background in business so I value great customer service. Regards, Joe Redmon ... Read more

With the caveat that (like all storage units) rates dramatically increase after 3 or 4 months, this is a great experience. If you only need storage for a quarter, then these units are well priced (best in the area from what I saw) with excellent customer service. The customer service is really top notch and made the experience well worth it ... Read more

We had an emergency (moving van overflow), and urgently needed short term storage for a small amount of furniture and boxes. Extra Space saved us. Not only were they close by, and friendly, and even affordable, they actually tried to help us by giving us first month free. I met with Alia, and she was truly the light of my day. She was so full of good will, intelligent, and just plain nice, that I was kind of sorry to be moving away. They had a unit available in fifteen minutes! I highly recommend this place. ... Read more
