Outstanding Service from Heather and Jose! had such a great experience at Extra Space Storage thanks to Heather and Jose!

I can't recommend this location enough! My storage space (5 x 8 I think) was perfectly clean when I unlocked the unit! It was the perfect amount of space for my bike, 6 storage boxes, and several pillows! Everytime I called this location or just the number for ExtraSpace, everyone was so nice! Note, these units don't have AC, so just clear anything that might not do well in 110 degree heat! Additionally, Jose and Heather were wonderful to interact with! Jose was lovely on the phone too and they made my experience that much better! Thank you! ... Read more

Great staff and great storage! Heather was VERY helpful, friendly and accommodating. The storage is great, I was able to store everything I needed to! Price was higher than expected but that covers insurance and the lock, so I can't complain. The unit itself is clean and spacious (I rented a 10x10), and fit my entire apartment. ... Read more

One of the companies I work for uses Extra Space Storage, (different location) so i was familiar with their great pricing, and clean facilities. Naturally I would expect no less from their other locations and I was not disappointed with this location on University in Tempe! Top scores on everything. Difference between this location and all the other locations is that this one has Heather! Possibly the most pleasant most helpful customer service person I've ever dealt with. I had minor issue with code working to open the gate, Heather 2002 it fixed for me in under a minute. She's awesome! ... Read more

Heather at the Tempe location on University needs an immediate pay raise or bonus. She was incredible kind and helpful with our ASU daughter’s furniture storage in a 5x10–we were so concerned the large couch wouldn’t fit through the locker door, it did like Heather said it would. We need more people like her in the world. THANK YOU, MS. HEATHER!!! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at University Drive Self Storage - 965 East University Drive include the following amenities: Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted and Online Payment. Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

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. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
