Unfortunately, this place is great but their business side of things is unfortunate. We have been renting out a unit for a year. On 3 separate occasions they raised our rent by 80 dollars, where it was hitting nearly 400. We told them we were leaving and they charged us for the full amount for our last month when we used the unit for one day. And that was because there was no one in the office to close our account the day before when they were supposed to be opened. Unfortunately, I will not be using any Public Storage anymore. ...

D’shaunda has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. She was very nice and patient. I felt like I was her priority. I went to a few other companies and I came due to her friendly phone etiquette and once on the property I felt valued and important. Thank you so much for your service ... Read more

From start of getting my storage (in August 24’) unit until now (and on-going), this location has been nothing but helpful. Customer service is exceptional. I moved in my storage by myself with a 15’ U-Haul. I’ll never forget how hot it is and the staff made sure I stayed hydrated and offered to use their staff. Then Ms Dshaunda, Wheew listen, this woman is beyond great. Anytime I needed help or answers, she was my guide. Always polite and helpful and any way she could be. I have lived in Charleston for 5 years and she, herself, was the best customer service I’ve experienced my whole time there. All the staff and this location is great and they have a great leader. I don’t recommend a lot of places for business because I’m super particular about everything, but this public storage is definitely one of my recommendations if ever needed. She made such an impact, you wouldn’t believe. Thank you Ms Dshaunda and the rest of the staff for such a pleasant on-going experience. Give the whole location a raise. A tip jar is a MUST! Happy Holidays from a very pleased customer!! ???? ... Read more

Closed a storage unit out today and got a new storage unit. Jamey and Chandra was a great help! We needed an extra day to move out because our unit move out date was Sunday and couldn't go to dumpster to get rid of the items to give us more space in the new one. Also, helped me over the phone with ease to close out unit & open new one. Thanks for your professionalism & effort to make this a very good experience!~ ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 8470 Dorchester Road has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, 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 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!
