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

    Big Red Storage on Custer St. has well-maintained, affordable storage units that are secure and easily accessible to their renters. The seamless process to rent a unit made it a no-brainer to choose them. However Amy, the 5-star property manager, was the reason I decided to get a second unit at this location. Amy is friendly, knowledgeable and professional which made myself, a first-time renter, feel at ease. Her genuineness and knowledge came through in her recommendations for what sizes I needed based on what I was trying to move. (And she was correct both times!) Lastly, Amy's communication and follow-through are impeccable. You'll know exactly what to expect renting from them. I am grateful to have stumbled upon this location and will forever recommend Big Red, especially the Custer St. location, to anyone looking for storage units! ... Read more

    Gated entrance and coded to be able to come and go. not a 24 hour facility but it’s open at 6 AM to 10 PM. I’ve had nothing but good experiences for the past three years with them. They’ve been very understanding I’ve had to switch units Upgrading and downgrading a few times they work with me every time I have absolutely no complaints in three years. ... Read more

    Amy Loos, the property manager and employees were great to work with in such a short amount of time!! The customer service over the phone is exceeds expectations and at the 7001 Custer location it was very neat, organized The Online Portal and Emails are a now very important, which made my process of receiving and checking out a unit a BREEZE. They will be willing to accommodate your issues regarding the unit with a pep in their steps!

    I have been renting from Big Red Storage off and on for about 15 years. Even though it is on the opposite side of town, or when i moved out of state i always use Big Red because i know my belongings are safe. Amy is fairly new but she is by far my favorite Manager. She is kind , caring and down to earth. If you need a reasonably priced and safe place to store belongings i highly suggest BIG RED STORAGE!! ... Read more
