SCAM. Classic bait and switch. I signed a contract for a storage unit at a certain price, then after moving in and setting up auto-pay, they doubled my rent without any notification. I would steer clear of this business and their shady practices ... Read more

I had a fantastic experience at Public Storage today!!!, thanks to KELLY From the moment I walked in, she was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain all the storage options, answered all my questions with patience, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's rare to come across someone so genuinely dedicated to great customer service. The facility was clean, secure, and easy to navigate—but it was Kelly who truly made the difference. Highly recommend this location, especially if you’re lucky enough to be helped by her!!. ... Read more

In this storage we cannot move anything on the second floor because the elevator does not work. What we have businesses is harming us because we cannot move our things for many days and they have not repaired the elevator. ... Read more

I really like this Public Storage; I have been very satisfied with the facility and personnel over the last 4 years, so much so that I've continued to utilize this location even after moving out of the area. It is always well-lit, clean, and I've never had issues moving my items in or out of the facility. ... Read more

Before I get into the details I just want to point out that the on site staff gets five stars. They are amazing, always present and very helpful. The actual floor space is always spotless due to their effort. That is the only positive thing I have to say. Most of the negative feedback is due to the industry standard of continually raising rent prices to the point where you have to decide if it’s worth it to move all your stuff out or deal with the rising prices yet again. It’s a predatory business tactic and industry standard or not it is shameful to treat people that way. Ok so you charged me well over double rent when I left then when I initially became a customer, have any facilities improved? No. There is no bathroom access outside of normal business hours so if you come at night or on the weekend you have to leave the gated area and go to WaWa to take a leak and get some water. Also there is a big issue with carts. Most carts are ragged and beyond repair. I have yet seen one mattress cart that won’t topple over if you have larger than a full size mattress. On top of that there isn’t enough carts when it’s busy and often you will have to wait for a cart to be returned before you get started. Honestly these two problems are fine and dandy with me before you jacked up the rent to kingdom come. Lastly all my items in the rear of the unit were covered in mouse droppings. I didn’t have any food items stored in there and all clothes were washed before storage so this wasn’t on my end. I understand most storage units deal with pests but again, you jack up my rent for no reason you must do a better job. See attached photos. There was actually a lot more mouse poop. I started to clean it off before I realized I should take some photos. Gross. I don’t recommend this place, look elsewhere. ... Read more

You know, I had a really awesome experience at Public Storage the other day. The property manager, Kaylea, was so chill and super helpful. I wasn’t sure what size storage unit I needed, but she walked me through everything and helped me figure it out without any hassle. The place was really clean and secure, so I felt good about leaving my stuff there. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 45980 Old Ox 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, Multi-Level Storage 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!
