The worst rental storage I have seen ever I don't recommend to anyone when you go there they gonna tell you $120 a month . But next one they're gonna charge you more and more every month is different. read more

We moved a household out from the east coast... and were looking for 2 reasonably priced units. Not easy to find in SD! Extra Space seemed ok... until they blew the price up significantly. I understand some increase, but this was a lot! I called to negotiate but the guy on the phone was rude and impatient. His supervisor was helpful, but none deserves a Loyd voice talking over you. The units are clean and well cared for but the bathroom is atrocious! Filthy! Come on! For those rates, you can afford a cleaning service and provide toilet paper! read more

Customer service is excellent Alex was very helpful thanks for the support you showed me

Just got my September bill for a 10x10... $399!! No notice no explanation. When I called and wanted to speak to someone the call was cut after 2 rings. I'm FURIOUS. It's advertised on their website as 124, which is what we paid when we started out. A year later it's more than doubled. Just disgusting business practice. I am FLOORED. read more

Just got a storage unit and was assisted by Joy, she was kind and eased our minds as we are in the process of moving. Would highly recommend this location as it is close to freeway entrances/exits, the great security, and the awesome employees. Also very affordable. read more

Good service, rental spaces are what they say. The price for a 10x10 is a little too high if you ask me, maybe they raise the prices on those 10x10 units due to inflation, who knows. However, the price for the 5x5 is very reasonable and affordable. read more

This place has been in business, I was told, for 5 years(as of this date Sept2014). You wouldn't know it. Everything is super shiny clean. I mean REALLY CLEAN! No dust on anything including the a/c ducting over head). Oh, and the AC is cranked up on these HOT 100+ degree days in El Cajon. What blessing when I'm struggling to get trips in back & forth. They've got nice clean freight elevators- NOT STAIRS!! And don't bring your dolly. They've got moving carts to make the move smooth and easy. The security system is high tech. You need a pin code to get the elevator up to your floor. AND!! It will only take you to YOUR FLOOR. No sneaking on with some other customer. It logs in each customer who uses any of the code access doors and video monitored and recorded. I feel my "stuff" is safe & secure. An A+ experience. read more

Best storage place! First impression when calling was excellent. Went over everything thoroughly. I made a reservation and went in to view unit after work. I was met by Joy who gave me a tour of the facility. Extremely helpful and friendly. They actually have carts to help you move. That is a plus! Very secure place. On site manager Tony very helpful. Hours are early and open 7 days a week!! Price is right. Rent with Extra Space. They have elevators too read more

Great company! Clean,friendly, they have carts available. Feel safe. Pricing is competitive but security is worth it.

They raise your monthly shortly after you move in. It is in the fine print of your contract. Just a heads up: "Customer's Rental Terms May Change with 30 Days' Notice. Customer acknowledges this Lease is month to month and that Owner may change or increase Customer's Monthly Rental Charge, fees and charges, due to changes in market conditions or for any other reason at any time upon 30 days' notice to Customer." read more

Dump! I cannot believe this place hasnt been reported. These people are money hungry, charging me for insurance for 5 months, and trust me I have called, and I was told to go in person to remove the insurance. So I went in person to take it off, but the "computer isnt working"! Smfh. I never asked for insurance since the day I bought the storage. They tried to blame the person who used to work there for putting it on my account. Wow! But they cant take it off? Lmao. Today was the last straw of me leaving a review of this business because all of a sudden the monthly payment is $35 higher. No way, I do not recommend this storage at all! 0 stars read more

I'm new to the Storage Facility, but I can say that the help I received from Joy, I believe her name was, was over the top. She helped navigate me from the keypad at the gate entrance all the way to my storage unit. Honestly, if I had to do all of that by myself, I would've been lost. Joy was super accommodating and I appreciate the help. Great Customer Service! read more

Wanted to leave a good review for extra space storage, this is a great,clean well secured storage facility.i needed a storage for one of my jobs .

Great place to storage your personal and valuable items , I recommend it from storage cooling temperature and safety

Tony, the manager, was very helpful and professional when I came in to reserve some storage spaces. Although I didn't get the size I originally wanted, due to no availability, Tony helped me figure out the next best size option for me to get. Very friendly and definitely knowledgeable in the work that he does read more

Great service,accommodating, and overall all a great place. Personally would recommend this place to people who need to store their belongings. read more

One 3 words ask for Seandra !!!! She has been very very helpful , polite , and professional. From customer service over the phone to in person meeting. I schedule a HUGE storage and she was able to assist and hold and did many follow up calls which helped because I'm very forgetful on scheduling and timing. The facility is very well kept and secure plenty cameras and A/C in some units. I needed a storage for less than a month and she made sure I got the best deal. Thank you again Seandra for being more than willing to assist and help with my special situation storage rental. I highly recommend for long term and short term storage. read more

Extra Space Storage - Self Storage Near Me - El Cajon, California

See all

Thousands of cockroaches on the 3rd floor. I opened up my unit after being gone for 6 months and it is infested with little brown german cockroaches. They are in my boxes, in the clothes, everything is fucking junk now. read more

The staff are friendly, and the facility is very clean. My issue is that I specifically went out of my way to utilize this facility based on the price they were offering. 2 months into my lease on this storage unit, and while on a extended deployment, I received an email notifying me that the rate was increasing $20 per month. That's a significant increase, especially less than 2 months into a lease after committing myself to putting my stuff here. Unreasonable rates for that area. Response by management was a cookie-cutter statement as well. If you're going to take the time to respond to a customer, don't send me a canned narrative response. Thank you read more

I really like the service. Richelle is really nice and goes out of her way to help you. I really recommend using Extra Space Storage for your storage needs. read more

The rates go up every 6 months but nothing change in the space that your paying, there excuses is because they base the increase of space in the economy. but they don't think about the people who don't have the same privilege that they have and there corporations and is making money even if they don't charge the increase but they don't care because all think about is themselves and how to make more money and become more richer. read more

I trusted them with my entire life's worth of belongings while I went on a 3-month trip out of the country. After my final lasting impression at this location, I would only trust them with the garbage I wanted to dispose of! All employees are kind and courteous, but management needs to get up on the training game! When I first moved into the unit, I had a long conversation with the staff member that we wanted both myself and my boyfriend on the account. They took my boyfriends ID and Insurance and NEVER put him on the account. It all came to a boil over when we noticed items missing from our unit upon moving out. Since the insurance was in my boyfriends name, and the unit in mine only, it was just another hassle to overcome with the lack of training of the staff there. There is some shady activity at this facility. We witnessed other tenants steal right before our eyes and also encountered a gentleman that had his flat screen stolen right from his locked unit by someone that scaled the gate and squeezed themselves between a barely there crawl space. Security is weak here and incompetent training of the staff did not help me. Immediately when we noticed items missing from the unit we called the storage facility and asked them what proper steps I should take to report the issue to my insurance. The employee could not help me, he told me to call back when the manager is there. SERIOUSLY?!?! Your in the business of protecting and securing people's personal property and there is no POLICY in place to follow if someone says there are items missing!?! What a joke. Management, get a policy in place. Train your staff to know how to open an account properly and how to handle the loss of an item on your property! read more

RIP OFF! !! STAY AWAY IF ALL POSSIBLE! This place has no problem taking your money and not returning it even it you move out early. I moved into this storage unit 3 months ago and recently I received a post card stating they are raising my rates $10 due to rising cost. Rising Cost of what? This place is overpriced and I would never recommend this to anyone of my friends or family members. I checked out early and I was told that I would not receive a refund and they were going to keep $34 of my money and I no longer have my things in this establishment. Run Run Run far away from this RIP OFF Storage facility! read more

This Place is AWESOME! Really nice professional people run this brand new Facility. I highly recommend this place for any one looking for Extra Space Storage, Extra Space Storage-El Cajon 1539 East Main Street El Cajon, CA 92021 Near El Cajon Ford 619-401-0968 Tony. A. read more

Perfect Extra space storage is hands down the best storage option and solution to personal and business storage needs. I recently had three different storages, in three different locations. primarily for my business, and some for personal storage needs. It's been a huge difference coming from my other two storage facilities; A1 in La Mesa and All storage in Encinitas. I've learned when picking a storage location, your Experience at that location is all about the people who run it. Instantly some of my storage stress that I had been experiencing was relieved, as I walked through these doors. The building itself is awesome!! huge hallways tall ceilings bright lighting and even covered and shaded parking at the entrance. So moving the items I move became much more efficient, I buy and sell and refurbish furniture so a lot of my items are large. The forward thinking design of the building allows good movement through the building. . Rachelle the manager and Tony were super friendly, they instantly knew how to match my storage needs with the correct storage size, space location, month to month costs along with placing me in the correct promotions that were available to me. I was able to tour each space and from day one it has been a massive difference between the other two storage facilities. I was thinking of using this location as an overflow for my storage needs. But know it has become the main location and only location use. Things to a great staff who is knowledgeable friendly, I have only experienced a superior storage option the building especially the manager Rachelle and Tony together make this the best storage option out there take my recommendation, And I'm sure you'll be pleased with Extra Space in El Cajon Will offer!!!! Regards, Tyson Wood read more

Our family has been through a tough time this year, as are many other families. Richelle ensured our cherished belongings would be secure and she thoroughly went over the entire contract, she is always welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this location 100%. read more

This is our second time renting a space here. We love the staff and the facility! Richelle and Pat are super friendly and helpful, and the units are very nice. I would definitely recommend! read more

They have the worst customer service !! All nice at the beginning and after you become a customer just really bad service !! Never again

I'm a Realtor and often have clients with storage needs. I recently had a last minute request from a seller to find storage for belongings from a home to be sold. When I needed a storage facility that was clean and safe for my belongings Richelle at Extra Space was available, friendly and able to accommodate my schedule. Every time I've needed storage I've contacted Richelle at Extra Space Storage in El Cajon. Thank you for great service! read more

Great customer service. I had to move and needed an affordable storage unit. Thank you to Rochelle and Pat!! Everything was simple. They both were able to answer all my questions.No one likes to move so if things can go smoothly it's great. My storage is in El Cajon off E Main Very clean and neat. Camera security and live on. I am very confident that I choose the right place.!! read more

The best storage place I've used. Customer service is excellent. Sandra will take care of your storage needs.

I agree this is a quality place to store your items, but I don't agree with their 10% increase every 9 months. Within five years my rent will have doubled from $260 to $548. Check out Consumer Affairs and you'll see that this is a corporate decision, happening across the county. There is no way we could keep our customers with our family business if we raised the prices like Extra Space Storage does. read more

I have rented a unit here since they opened. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. As for security, the place is difficult to get into. You get code to get onto the property, the door code to get into the unit complex and then your key to open your lock to your unit. All while being video monitored from the moment you step out of the property. Yes you can piggyback and follow someone else in to the gated area, But you're not getting out without a gate code. and if it's after hours you're stuck there. There can be some shady characters in and out of their storage units but unfortunately, if you rent a storage unit there, they have just as much right to be there as you do. There is one issue that is completely out of the hands of the on-site live in manager. Every three months or so you will get an incremental rate increase on your monthly rent. If you commit to a year-long lease then the number stays fixed for one year. After that one year, the rate starts creeping up. 3 months after your anniversary date, 6 months after your anniversary date, and once on year after that. I don't like it, but I understand it. The facility took $10 million to build and is less than five years old. It's the newest building on that entire street and Extra space storage wants there money back. I am a big fan because my belongings are safe. It may be a little extra money, but it's well worth the cost. Here's a question... When it comes to your most prized possessions and your irreplaceable family heirlooms that have been passed down from generation to generation. Do you really want to put your trust into the lowest bidder? read more

Total rip off! Your rental rate starts out fair, but since they only allow month to month, they hike it up about every three months. A rental that started at 78 dollars is now almost 100!!!! And, they sent the last notice in the mail dated early so it looks like I would receive it in time to give notice to vacate, but it actually reached me AFTER I paid what will now be my final month. Per their policy, that means even though I am giving 15 days notice(which is allowed) and should be eligible to get back the prorated amount, I will not get any money back and they can rent it to someone else asap and have two people paying rent on the same unit. This place is shady, don't do it! read more
