Verified Review
"Ben is the best! His space is secure & it's always super easy to make arrangements for access -- he responds immediately to communications and is always accessible. Also, he's a certified ASE technician, so he can provide valuable advice & assistance with any car question you might have. He even provided a trickle charge to keep my battery sound. And last -- but by no means least -- he's a super nice guy and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Ben!"

"Janki’s space was perfect for my vehicle and she was awesome to meet. I left my car with boxes stored inside for 90 days and everything was safe and sound. Definitely would recommend Janki’s space and will likely use it again next summer (if it’s available!)"

Climate Considerations
Oakland's climate has hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. When considering what type of storage unit to rent in Oakland, it's important to factor in the climate and weather of the city. Climate-controlled storage units are beneficial for perishable items and sensitive documents as they maintain a consistent temperature throughout the year. Non-climate-controlled storage units are also a great option for items that don't need climate control like furniture, clothing and books. To protect your items from the heat and humidity, be sure to use air-tight containers and keep items away from windows and vents. During the summer, temperatures typically reach the mid-80s while during the winter, temperatures may drop to around 43 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are storing electronics or items prone to water damage, it's important to invest in a climate-controlled unit. No matter what type of storage unit you choose, it's important to read reviews, inspect the facility and ensure your items are properly covered by insurance.
