Very friendly staff will help you find just the right size for your needs - including strange shaped units under stairs with extra space. If you don't have proof of homeowner/rental insurance, add $10/mo to whatever prices you are quoted.
Business response:
Thank you for the feedback, Oren. You are correct, we do charge an additional $10 a month for our customer protection plan. That charge can be removed at any time once proof of insurance has been provided.
I had a great experience with A-1 Storage. Philis was great. The team in El Cajon has great customer service. They were more than just employees but social workers as well. Lol I'll miss them!!!
This was the best storage experience I have ever had because the onsite office gave awesome customer service! They explained everything in detail and told me ahead of time about anything complicated and made sure I knew how to get in and out and lock up and when the bills were due and how I could pay online! I really appreciate them!
Business response:
Great to hear, Eric! We're so glad to hear you had a positive experience. Thank you for sharing!
Phyllis was the best! She was helpful and I can't say enough about how great their service is.
Business response:
Thank you for sharing, Tasha N.! I'll be sure to share you kind words with Phyllis. I know it will brighten her day.
Be very wary of this company! First off, they are more expensive than most other places. I rented a 5x5 for 50% off of usual $71/mo. On top of the $35.50,they added $20 (admin fee) and $10 (mandatory insurance that really didn't even cover my stuff) = $65 for a 5x5! Next month was going to be $81 for a 5x5?? No thank you. Found a cheaper unit. Got out in 26 days. Second thing, woman in the office said one thing but it wasn't listed in the agreement. When I went to note down in the agreement what she had just told me, she got... read more

We work hard to provide the best value to our customers by offering top-notch service and competitive pricing. We're sorry to hear you are dissatisfied. We wish you the best at your new storage facility.
We stored items there for almost five years. Just recently we traveled to San Diego to retrieve them. First things first. Phyllis, the manager, and Patrick, an employee, were great. We have no issues with them. Secondly, we have no issues with the unit itself. Our issues stem with exorbitant rent costs, which increased almost $30 in the time we were there, from $65 to almost $95. Ridiculous and, in our opinion, borderline criminal. We investigated and found that the owner was about to give us another increase to almost $119 ... read more

We're sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied, Shawn. We work hard to provide the best value to our customers through competitive pricing and by maintaining clean, safe, and secure facilities. Your original monthly rate is not guaranteed for the life of your rental with A-1. We find it necessary to make adjustments to our customers' rental rates from time to time, in order to keep up with the rising costs associated with providing top-notch service and a clean, secure facility.
We had to store stuff for several years and Patrick and Phyllis were always helpful, friendly and took awesome care of us and our stuff. Thanks!
Good and energetic customer service and clean facility. Very professional. What I like most was the door alarms. I will be gone for a few months and can breathe easy, I know my stuff is safe. Thank you A-1!
Business response:
You're welcome, Joan!
I have rented storage units before. Some of those for years at a time. While I was satisfied with those A-1 is the cleanest and friendliest I have encountered. I am also very impressed with their security measures. You will not find any nicer people to do business with and will be very pleased with the unit
