Renting storage with ExtraSpace Storage has been a fantastic experience, thus far. It was easy to rent my unit online, and they provided excellent advice both online and in person to help me choose the right unit with respect to the size and plan. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the gates were easy to operate digitally. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your review, Courtney! We're glad the online rental process, unit selection guidance, and digital gate access made your experience seamless.

Ian

July 28, 2026

System allowed me to reserve a unit on a day that nobody was there. They canceled my unit without informing me, while I had all of my stuff in the back of a uHaul. Had to spend an hour on the phone with someone to get a unit. On site staff were, in general, unhelpful. Attempted multiple times to close my account by calling in during office hours as well as after office hours, leaving voicemails that were never returned. Had no other recourse but to remove my billing information from the account, after which they promptly called me to shut the account.

We apologize for falling short Ian. The reservation cancellation, unreturned voicemails, and billing issues you experienced are unacceptable. Please call us at (301) 652-6565 to resolve this.
