Jenna is absolutely too rude to be handling any form of customer service or phone. I tried to fill out a lease online but got busy in between. She called and left a message so I called back. Starting off with a terrible tone and without having any idea the distance from my work she told me that getting out at 5pm i wouldn’t have time to sign up for a storage unit before they close at 6pm….its a storage unit not a mortgage. I’m sure I could do 6 initials and sign my name and she could run my card within the hour available. Then she gives me attitude because I don’t know the difference between types of locks and just kept repeating the word “disc lock” in an angry tone like I was stupid. I kept with her because it’s close to the residence and how often do you have to deal with the workers at a storage. I double checked the online price of $44 a month for a 5x10 and she said no mentioned again an insurance that I already declined and then said they’d force me to buy their lock because I wouldn’t have enough time to get there in her opinion. Not sure what her plans after work were but they were BIG and she could not be late!! I in a still wildly and unnecessarily polite tone explained to her she’s correct and maybe this location isn’t for me and that sweet professional woman hung up the phone. The company needs to STORE her in the back away from customers. ... Read more

SmartStop is affordable, close to home, and perfect for the short time I need storage. I love the convenience of their app to open and close the gate, and I feel good knowing they have video surveillance for added security. Andrew was very professional, polite, thorough, and made the whole process quick and easy. Highly recommend! ... Read more

First of all Destinee is an angel. Her presence alone is enough to come to this location. She has a warm smile, kind personality and is direct and honest with the services provided. I felt seen, heard and like my time and money were taken seriously. The deal i got was great and even though it was made clear to me that it would be increasing I feel that I am still getting a better deal than I would at any other storage space. Thank you ...

Moving stuff in has been great. Destinee was super helpful and answered all of my questions. I was a little disappointed to find out they charge insurance on top of the rental. Ended up being a lot more per month than I thought but it is what it is. She did at least warn me that the rental price will be going up in a few months so I will take that into consideration for how long I’ll be storing my stuff here. ... Read more

The on site staff (Theresa) at the Van Dyke location is great! She was very helpful and the unit was clean and ready to go. Getting set up was a very positive experience. I am not a fan of the call center. They are very pushy and sent in a reservation before I even committed to the unit. Language was an issue so I assume the call center is not in the US. Go directly to the site to rent if you want good service!!! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that SmartStop Self Storage - 42557 Van Dyke Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 SmartStop Self Storage - 42557 Van Dyke Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 50 to 250 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 SmartStop Self Storage - 42557 Van Dyke Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $81 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $400 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!
