Read some helpful reviews of StorageMart at 16855 East US Highway 40, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

The manager Natasha at the 40hwy facility is derelict of her duties. She doesn't problem solve, she creates more of a problem for tenants, by not being available or having someone on duty during office hours when your not in default, and your gate code doesn't work, when you call the toll free number for help it routes you back to the office your unit is at, which also is no help as no one is available, and your also not able to reach someone unless you don't give your unit info, which is how we were able to make a complaint about these concerns, and were told it would take 3 business days to get a response from the director, there are no rules posted or in the lease that you sign, that says you can't access your unit number, thinking you may of entered it incorrectly, but instead of helping you, she accuses after the fact, and denies any gate access to your unit unless she is present in office to let you in, and it has to be her only, your punished for her lack in performing job duties, answering phones,returning calls, fixing non working gate codes, topped by no one in attendance at the office even during 9am to 6pm posted hours. Natasha reacts with a power trip, and denies gate access to your unit, unless, she specifies, that she is present at the office to allow you in the gate, you have no access to your unit. And 9am to 6pm when most people are actually at work, hence the gate access til 9pm. Lack of proper management of this business and non-existent customer service is what your promised to expect, because an angry power tripping manager who rages on you for her or the company's errors, instead of an apologetic let me fix the problem that caused your concerns, or can I offer a solution that would keep your business here, this location makes you be tickled to move your belongings out ASAP, TO NO LONGER DEAL WITH A HATEFUL MANAGER THAT CAN'T, OR WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR, OR AT LEAST SHOW UP TO WORK TO HELP PREVENT THE PROBLEMS THE TENANTS ENCOUNTER THRIUGH NO FAULT OF THEIRS, BY ANSWERING CALLS, OR STAFFING THE OFFICE DURING OFFICE HOURS, AND BY HANDLING THE TRUTH THAT YOUR NOT PERFORMING YOUR JOB DUTIES EFFECTIVELY, and it's your lack of customer service abilities hurting the business that someone unwisely put you in charge of, being kind doesn't cost a dime, and when your the wronged customer, and address the problem with the manager, that was no fault of yours, kindly, expecting correction, but the outcome that should be reasonable, in favor of the wronged party, at the very least, allow them to be able to access their unit with the gate code they were given, and an apology for their time wasted several occasions a week, instead of wasting more of their time trying to coordinate with someone who clearly doesn't value their job. Unfortunately this business is one of the worst I've ever had to deal with, but I will only have to deal with their management once more to remove my belongings. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS STORAGE FACILITY. IF YOU RUN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID, A NON WORKING. GATE CODE, GOOD. LUCK, REACHING OUT BY PHONE OR IN PERSON AT THE FACILITY. CALL THE. 800; number, NOT Natasha, no answer or reply. We called for two hours straight,3 TIL 5 pm no reply til 5:25pm. office closes at 6pm. Then were made to go back to the office to be raged on and informed our only access to the unit is during business hours til 6pm, as she has now blocked the gate code, instead of fixing it, after waiting hours on Saturday for someone to assist with a non working gate code, and again today 3-5pm. two hours of calling to get gate access, as there was no one available to help get in the gate, since our code didn't work, initially on Sat. again on Wednesday, and now Natasha could of told us over the phone, andbyr made us come there, and the acct is not in Default, nor did we do anything to cause the gate code not to work in the first place. Pitiful excuse of management, non customer service being done on a daily. Ewwwwwwe Gross! ... Read more
Candie D. - 24 July 2026
I made a reservation for Sunday on Wednesday and canceled it on Saturday before I made it to the storage unit. I'm gonna let yall know because they won't!! You will not get a full refund after they hold the unit even for a day they will not tell you this or give you a heads up before you cancel your unit. I paid 69$ and received a refund of 18$. Not even half of what I paid. Real shame. I'm moving and just needed a few more weeks. I needed a unit for long term and this established has lost my business. Luckily there is a storage down the street the opposite way hopefully they are better with communication. If I knew I was only receiving 18$ I would have kept the unit. I understand it was reserved so no one else could buy it but now it's open for purchase and someone will pay a full 69$ and have that unit when I only received 18$ refund. I understand keeping some money but not more than half of what I paid. ... Read more

My wife and I were in desperate need of a storage unit. The manager Natasha was so awesome!! She jumped right in with no hesitation and made sure I felt welcomed and my business was appreciated. 10/10 Never had customer service like hers. ... Read more
shaun J. - 17 June 2026
Great pricing, horrible management. Long story short, they billed my Grandmother for years while denying her access to her items after she lost her keys. We were beginning the process of going to the lawyers (which would have been surprisingly easy), but she didn’t make it that far. Great place to store your stuff while you’re perfectly healthy, but good luck if you happen to age. ... Read more

Quick and easy. After getting a unit online, which was easy, I called and went into the office to get my access code and any questions. Natasha the girl at the office was super clear, helpful and nice. ... Read more

This StorageMart is by far the best manged and organized of all the StorageMarts. Cameron is an absolute pleasure to work with and he is very courteous. He seems to care a great deal for all the renters there. He always greets me with smile and kindness. I highly recommend this location for the exceptional management that runs this location. ...

Jessica D. - 18 January 2026
I went to check out this facility earlier today during lunch break so wasn’t able to talk to anyone or look at the sizes. But I was able to talk to a current storage renter who said he’d been renting for 2 years and loved it. No problems or vandals. Then I called in to inquire about what would be best suited and in a matter of minutes of talking to a nice lady named Jessica, she helped me determine what I needed AND got me signed up for our new storage unit. She was informative, helpful, and very nice to work with. Thank you Jessica. ... Read more
Natalia L. - 26 September 2025
Kathy from store 0158 is unprofessional, causing the business to lose customers because of her deceitful ways. She made a verbal agreement and did not follow through with it and did not take her clients calls. Do not do business here. There is no working with you or any incentive for loyal customers and they don't uphold what they said. They have a lawsuit coming. They are recorded lines and screenshots of the not following through with contract. A verbal agreement is a legal contract and her pretending not to get our calls and saying she called twice and it wasn't her job to keep calling. I would suggest retraining before she brings down the business in an audit or .ore lawsuits. Cut and dry case. ... Read more
Julie B. - 30 July 2025
Cathy at StorageMart is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free, answering all my questions and making sure I got the right unit for my needs. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. The facility itself is clean, secure, and well-maintained, but Cathy is what truly sets this location apart. Highly recommend! ... Read more

It was a breath of fresh air to finally go to a place of business and be greeted with a warming feeling and comfortable personal type welcome. Cathy was every inviting personable and a genuine care and concern for my needs. She was more than willing to answer all my questions and concerns. Thank you Cathy Sincerely VS. ... Read more

My Experience with Storage mart was top notch and their service and accommodations was terrific. Cathy the manager was exceptional with all that she helped me with and really knew what she was doing in regards to knowing the business and her interactions with the customers. I would highly recommend storage mart to anyone and would give Cathey the manager a 5 star rating. Thanks again for all your help with my storage needs! ... Read more
Bryan G. - 6 June 2025
The location manager is awesome. She is way better than the one I encountered down the street at Public Storage. The manager here was not only very helpful, but she was very knowledgeable and pretty funny too. I will recommend everyone to check this place out. Great prices too! ... Read more

I've been with Storage mart too many years, but they've always been very good to me. Cathy, the lady there now is an absolute sweetheart who really cares about her customers & does all she can to help. I was able to get two sheds minimized into one & my payments a bit more affordable. I highly recommend Storage Mart on 40 Hwy in Independence. ... Read more

Abby and Cathy at 16855 E 40 hwy Independence Mo are very kind and polite with customers. I feel like they both care about helping find the right unit and price. Very well mannered. That counts for a lot more than being strict and professional. Other places like Public Storage should take tips for PR from Storage Mart employees. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at StorageMart - 16855 East US Highway 40 include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 600 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.

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.
