It was a pleasant experience searching and renting for my storage space. Website was easy to navigate and informative to help me visualize the right size space and location for my needs. I then spoke with 3 staff members before I made a decision. They were really professional (especially Madison) and willing to explore options that fit my budget and expectations. They even offered options that I did not initially consider. ... Read more

Simone at Extra Space in Irvine was professionally efficient yet friendly to deal with. She found a way to cut the cost to less than 1/2 of what I had been paying.previously..

We were impressed with the gentleman, Joey, that arranged for us to rent our storage unit. We had a couple of specific needs and personal challenges to deal with and he was so helpful, professional, patient, and kind. Great customer service at a sparkling clean facility. Bravo!! P.S. We had to go back to ask more questions and Joey wasn’t there that day but Wayne was and he was an excellent customer service gentleman as well. Whoever does the managing and hiring at this faculty recognizes quality on multiple levels., Thank you! ... Read more

I had the best experience I could imagine. Simone was gracious, patient, and wise. She understood what I was looking for and proactively took charge to find me a unit even better than what I had hoped for, And at an excellent price. The entire transaction went smoothly. Your systems operated perfectly and quickly. And I would hardly recommend Simone, this facility, and Extra Space Storage generally as, by far, the best place for personal and small business storage. ... Read more

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.

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.

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.

Monthly prices for units offered by Extra Space Storage - 9280 Research Drive start from $72 and can go up to $669 for larger spaces.

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.
