I just wanted to express thanks and appreciation to Miss Joyce and Haley. I was having a particularly trying and hectic day and just walking into the office was like visiting friends. They were extremely helpful assisting me in my decision of appropriate storage size. I would recommend this facility to everyone seeking clean, secure storage options. ... Read more

This place sucks, improper signage states (this is the drop of location) as to drop off location (which was actually an unmarked dirt road 300 yards away from the listed dropoff location )Terrible layout with dead ends and tight channels. The woman that opened the location this morning (10.3.24) was AWFUL. Absolutely the worst customer service experience. This woman didn't even acknowledge us until we spoke to her to seek help. Guess what, she didn't help at all. Not only did she not help, she looked as if she was actively trying to not help. She spoke to us in a condescending tone as if WE should have known that there was no one available to receive the trailer or help us unhook it. Not even a feigned apology that there was no one available.I didn't even get her name she was so rude and dismissive. She should not have a job the is customer facing, she should be in a backroom not allowed around anyone who supports said business. The way "Extra Storage" set up their uhaul stuff is going to get someone injured or is going to cause financial issues due to zero confirmation as to what's going on. ... Read more

I had a wonderful experience with this storage company! Recently purchased a storage unit by auction and it was the smoothest experience yet. Joyce answered the phone right away and was both friendly and professional. She answered all my questions and proved to be just as kind in person. I'd rent a unit here if we lived closer just based on the staff alone. I'll be looking at more auctions here in the future! ... Read more

We've utilized storage facilities in several states including 3 different ones in Virginia. Extra Storage in Gloucester has been our best experience, hands down. From the initial call to check availability we knew they were different. Joyce was pleasant on the phone, quickly shared pricing and explained the reservation process. Once we arrived, we toured the property, and it's exceptional - Yes, Exceptional. They really do a great job maintaining the grounds, the buildings and individual units, very impressive. We agreed on a very fair price and a great move in incentive. We've been with them for several months now and no price increases like the other big storage conglomerates. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with and if you stop by and chat, they have genuine concern and will even recommend great places around Gloucester to dine. They truly earn their 5 star reviews - Kudo's to all at Extra Storage Gloucester! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Extra Storage - 8868 Willis Road has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, 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!
