My storage was broken into and my belongings were stolen!! I’m Sitting here waiting on the police to file a report. I don’t know how my large items were taken out!!! This place has an iron secured gate with code and a bobbed wire fence. They claim that the cameras wasn’t working!!!! I’ve had my things in this storage for a year and some months until my building is done! This is sad and ppl need to consider what they’re doing when stealing!!! You’re taking from others who’s working hard and trying to make an honest living to have the things they want in life!!! This world is a cold place!… update: They offered one month free of storage and my rent has went up on my $60. ... Read more

I’ve used Radiant Storage several times over the years! Setting up an account/moving in so super simple. They walk you through it over the phone. They usually have move in specials for a good rate. I feel at ease leaving my things because you have to have a code to access the units. Moving out is just as easy as moving in. They literally walk you through everything to make things as smooth as possible. ... Read more

I rented a 5x10 climate controlled unit on March 29th in Tuscaloosa for my son to store his college belonging’s over the summer (we are from NY). We received a move in confirmation email along with the assigned storage unit number. When we arrived at the storage facility to move in (on April 24th) we found a lock on our assigned unit. After making several phone calls to resolve the issue, we were finally told that the unit they assigned us was never moved out of and should not have been assigned. At this point they had no other climate controlled units available. We were left scrambling to find another company to store my son’s stuff. I was told multiple times that a manager would call me back, it’s been 5 days and I still haven’t received a phone call. They did however send me an email letting me know that they “successfully moved me out” of my assigned unit. This is pretty funny considering, I never moved in. This is just bad business and terrible customer service. We found a clean, climate controlled unit with good customer service at Northport Storage. ... Read more

I was very happy to find a storage facility that I could get set up with on a weekend. That being said, online setup was straightforward and easy. When I got there, they forgot to put a lock on the floor of my unit so I had to call customer service, but Liz was extremely helpful in getting me one quickly. ... Read more

Radian storage has been great so far. I like the fact that my whole process was done online. The unit was clean and even included a lock! I would recommend Radiant storage to anyone looking for storage unit. 10 Out of 10! ... Read more
Brandy S. - 12 February 2025
Efficient Clean Easy and Regular Communication BEST PRICES and climate control All this without an on site attendant. This probably keeps the price down. Old storage $78 this one is $52 monthly for the same size. I would suggest visiting every 2/3 months just to eyeball your unit. My second month is coming up in a couple of weeks and I will visit. ...

My storage unit #334 was burglarized. All of my household and personal possessions including my daughter things was stolen by thieves. Imagine just closing on your home or literally two days before Christmas then go to the storage that you paid to keep your things safe and when you get there. First, you find that your locks had been replaced with one of there locks. Then proceeds to contact someone at customer service and one of the guy responses were “sometimes things like this happen.” I believe this was definitely an inside job. Someone who works there and has access after hours and privy to certain things. Apparently my own two personal locks were cut by the thieves after they were done stealing they place a lock from Radiant Storage on my unit from the drop box which I didn’t was so easily accessible. I notified local law enforcement which was Tuscaloosa Police Dept. and unfortunately was told that my storage wasn’t the first storage to be burglarized and for the foreseeable future until security measures are throughly enforced and things are changed my unit will certainly not be the last. In fact Radiant Storage is well-known for burglaries. How could that be when it’s a gated property and you have to have a code to enter. If you ever need to view camera footage for anything you’ll have to get a subpoena first. Investigation is still pending. Ultimately my investigation was closed simply because Radiant Storage doesn’t have verifiable camera footage, their CAMERA SYSTEM DO NOT WORK: ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STEAL AND BURGLARIZE STORAGE UNITS RADIANT STORAGE IS THE STORAGE! THERE CAMERA FOOTAGE DOESN’T WORK AND THERE ALARM SYSTEM IS BASICALLY A SCARE TACTIC. NO LAW ENFORCEMENT IS NOTIFIED. I WILL POST PICTURES LATER OF THE POOR LIGHTING, A CAMERA THAT IS ANGLED IN THE DIRECTION OF MY STORAGE UNIT AND THE WHATEVER “SECURITY GUARD” IS ON DUTY. I THOROUGHLY BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS WAS AN INSIDE JOB FROM ONE OF THE MANY DIFFERENT STRAY EMPLOYEES POSING AS A SECURITY GUARD AT RADIANT STORAGE IN TUSCALOOSA, AL. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 400 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items.
