Lauretta K. - 14 August 2025
This is the best storage place I've ever used! It is incredibly clean and the staff is kind and friendly, Prices are reasonable given the convenient location. Their hours are a little shorter than some places (which honestly makes the whole place feel safer) so make sure that works with your schedule before you rent. This is my 3rd time needing to rent a storage unit (for work) over the past 10 years and I just keep coming back to Berkeley Self Storage because it is so great. ... Read more

Family run business; they get to know their customers and hire their staff well with quality business relationships in mind. The site is well managed and clean. One can never know everything, but I I believe security to be a bit above average - the owners do take care of business. I'm posting this in the time of COVID, when hours are a bit shorter than normal but on the other hand the open-air nature of unit access is a protective plus. The second floor aisles are a thick but open mesh - carts get bumpy and they might still have the signs warning that no high heels are allowed up there. I never thought I'd ever warm up to that construction detail, but it makes for even more air circulation so it's another big plus for me now. Prices tend toward the reasonable side. This is one of my top preferred places to rent. ... Read more

I have been using Berkeley Self Storage for about 15 years. I like that is a family run business, not a chain, Adriana and the rest of the staff are a pleasure to deal with. They are constantly doing maintenance to keep the place in good shape. I'm happy here, obviously. ... Read more
Mitchell G. - 25 October 2019
Highly recommend it. I was inclined to rent from Berkeley Self Storage because it's family owned but upon visiting - I liked the staff, the location, the pricing (competitive with others in the area) and the cleanliness. The access hours are also great. ... Read more
Vilasinee B. - 29 September 2019
Holy cow. Adrianna and the team at Berkeley Self Storage absolutely knocked my socks off with their customer service. I don't think I've ever been so impressed and grateful. If I could, I would give them ONE MILLION STARS! I was in the middle of a move across two states when the carefully laid plans went up in smoke and I had to move 6 days earlier than planned. So the storage unit was one of the last things on my plate as I was driving a uhaul down the 5 freeway. Adrianna could tell I was in dire straights, and leapt into action to help me pick up the slack. We got everything done electronically over email during my breaks from driving, and as traffic extended the trip she pivoted to let me move into my new storage unit after normal hours. I didn't need to beg or butter her up or promise to pay a premium - and she volunteered a staff member to be there to ensure success. I wouldn't be surprised if she paid that employee overtime to ensure my needs were met. The team here just wanted my business and were total professionals in earning it. I look forward to spending my money here and encourage anyone with storage needs in Berkeley to start here first! ONE MILLION STARS! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Berkeley Self Storage - 2235 San Pablo Avenue include the following amenities: Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Multi-Level Storage 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.
