I searched a few storage container options and also offsite storage units. Easily ruled out the office buildings because they were expensive and offsite (I'd have to move my stuff to it). Of the container options, the larger chains like Pods and similar had high prices and not the best reviews. I found UNITS which had similar pricing, but they are are a local Bay Area company, they have fantastic reviews, and they had a few flexible options for sizes and storage (at my property or they could pick up and store at their facility). They were super helpful and easy to work with. Delivery was seamless, the container was in great condition and it's been working out great! Would recommend especially as a local business with great service! read more

UNITS Moving & Portable Storage - They're able to easily maneuver and get the container into position. It was slick and pretty fast! - Movers Near Me - Livermore, California

See all

Everything from the first phone call to the delivery has been professional and exactly what we wanted.

Locally owned, easy to schedule, endlessly flexible. A short step up into the unit, it was so much easier to load the heavy things versus loading them into a truck, even with a ramp. Robots load and unload the unit from the truck, so it b-a-r-e-l-y tips the unit. Contents we're undisturbed, and remained exactly as packed. Ideally, we'll never have to move again. Ugh. But if we do, we'll absolutely choose UNITS again over renting a truck. read more

Well...this business and Michael saved me today!!! I ordered a unit approximately one month ago from one of the larger companies and they arrived and said they were unable to get the unit in the driveway due to "tight space" and its a double driveway! I reached out to UNITS and Michael immediately called me and I received a unit within 2 hours. What an amazing business, I am so impressed from the first call to delivery. WOW they went above and beyond!! I highly recommend this company! Thanks guys for helping my stressful day turn around real quick! Delivery was smooth AAA+++ read more

5 stars on the delivery and setup of the storage unit. Perfect size and stellar customer service especially the deliver guy. Top notch! I had to give the unit zero stars if I could. It was fairly old and smelled really bad. I had my clothes in garbage bags and boxes stored inside the unit for one month. I thought it just needed to be aired out BUT I cannot get the smell/funk out of my clothes and furniture I stored in the unit. From so many positive reviews, I wanted to try them out instead of using POD. I regret that as this unit smelled like a smoker lived in it? I felt nauseous every time I stepped into the unit. worse of all, I cannot get rid of the smell in the things I stored in there!!! I am very disappointed with the quality of the units. It's a health hazard. read more

My garage was in desperate need of paint, cleaning and re-organizing. My wife bought me a very nice storage system with workbench for a Christmas present and it was slated to be delivered by a certain date so I knew I had to take drastic measures to clean out the garage. The cost of the mobile storage unit was a better value than having to rent a large vehicle and a storage unit. The portable storage unit was placed in my driveway and it was so convenient just to walk out and start storing and disposing of items. The storage container was clean. The staff I had contact with on the phone and in person were great people, great customer service and I have no complaints whatsoever regarding anything. I will be utilizing this company again in the near future for a project at my in-laws home. I highly recommend this business very easy to work with And very customer oriented. If you are considering renting one of these units they can provide the lock and moving blankets and straps at an extra cost. I didn't need any of these items since it was just going to be in my driveway however I did utilize my own lock. read more

Love, Love UNITS. We are impressed with our first experience with Units Long Distance. They are responsive, organized, and reliable. Love the Robo technology. For the long-distance move, all communication is through the Charleston, SC office. The Livermore Units team kept us real-time updates on when the Units is arriving and the pick-up is seamless. The Austin UNITS gave us welcome calls and kept us informed of the arrival of the UNITS. We are happy with their recommended movers in CA and TX. They have done a great job of packing and unloading UNITS. We love the entire experience. It is cost-effective and reliable. Our container arrived safely and all content arrived with no damage. We highly recommend UNITS. They are not commercialized like their competitors. They truly provide a family-owned company vibe. They treat you with care. We highly recommend Units. read more

We were remodeling and needed extra storage space during construction. The more well-known storage box brands all had horrible online ratings, which is when I came across UNITS. The whole process of requesting a box, having it delivered and picked up was so easy. The box itself was clean and kept our stuff dry and secure during some heavy rain. Oh, their delivery system parked the box in an out of the way spot I figured would have been impossible. No hidden fees, straightforward pricing and the folks on the other side of the phone were always friendly. UNITS will be my go-to if I need another storage box or someone asks me for a recommendation. read more

I'm not sure if this place needs another review, but writing this so I won't forget who to use next time. Units really helped me through a very stressful period. I had to do a forced remodel of the first floor of my home due to a leak. I had to move all of my first floor into storage while it was getting demolished and remodeled. I called Units in Livermore and they were so understanding of my stressful situation and sent the storage pod very next day. Delivery was smooth and the storage was unit was clean. After two months, I called them for pick up and they just picked it up today. People at this location were great and I'm so thankful. I will use them again when I remodel my second floor one day. read more

I didn't know about this company until another company couldn't unload a storage container I ordered. Within two hours UNITS was able to fit me in and deliver same day. They saved me from changing our plans heading into a long weekend. Shawn who delivered was courteous, careful and ensured the container was in the right place, so my satisfaction. I would highly recommend UNITS for a storage solution at your location. Prices are competitive too. read more

This review is way overdue, but I felt it was important to let everyone know about this company. Although I had been communicating with the customer service people in the south (as in the southern part of the US), it was the Livermore franchise that actually did the work on beginning end. We were making a cross country journey during the middle of COVID and weren't sure if we were going to find movers. But, alas, they were considered "essential businesses" and Units came to the rescue. Other than do it yourself rental trucks, we have never hired any moving companies. Units was amazing! First, you are in control of moving all of your contents into the portable crates (they actually look like train cars). You decide how long you need the units at your home, fill it up, put on the lock and they haul it to your destination. It really doesn't get any easier than that. They were at least 30% cheaper than hiring a moving company, but moving companies load your items into and out of the trucks. If you need help moving items, Units probably isn't the service for you, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had companies they could recommend for that type of service. I would definitely use Units again. Everyone we spoke with was Johnny on the spot. If they were running behind they called us. They were friendly and efficient. Most importantly, all 3 pods arrived at our destination 2,600 miles away with no damage other than minor bumps and scrapes on some of our pieces (caused from our own loading). I will post a separate review on the Units franchise who received our pods and who actually delivered them to our new home. There were 3 Units franchises involved and all worked seamlessly to move our 5 bedroom home contents across the country. HIGHLY recommend this company! read more

Got a quote initially via Yelp, which was delivered fast and was intelligible. Some companies that claim to offer quotes via Yelp instead just ask you to call them, so points already for that. When I called to arrange details, it was very quick and easy, with Dana (I believe) helping me out. She answered my questions and was easy to deal with. When our UNIT / pod was delivered, it came on time and was professionally 'installed' by the driver. (It also got delivered using this awesome remote controlled lifter, which the nerd in me really got a kick out of.) UNIT itself was spotless, perfect for our needs (16' got packed with 3br worth of stuff) and nothing was damaged in transit to our new house. However, where UNITS went above and beyond was for our delivery. I managed to completely forget to order the delivery of the UNIT for the day when we had movers scheduled for our unpack. Discovered this on the day of the move! Called UNITS literally 5m before their opening time. They picked up, told me it was unlikely they could deliver same day (they ask for at least one day's notice) but it would come the next day. Two hours later at our new house, the UNITS truck turned up with our stuff. Same day delivery! In two hours! That was pretty fantastic. Very happy we used them and will again. read more

UNITS has been awesome! Very professional, prompt. And so easy! Fill a UNIT in your own time, call for pickup or swap out and they do it quickly. Chad, a driver, is fantastic. Went above & beyond when we were on a short time frame. Would recommend highly! read more

We were having difficulty finding a place that could accommodate our timeframe and it was recommended by a friend to give Units a call. When you're calling for service you can tell straight away if someone is genuinely listening and trying to help solve a problem. When I called I was a bit frantic and expecting them to tell me we cannot help. To my surprise, they were willing to listen and stepped in when others could not. From the time they picked up the phone, to delivery and pick-up, the experience was a pleasant one. I would highly recommend them for your storage needs. read more

Good units, and less expensive than the competitors. Sometimes it took a bit to have the call center relay info to the local store - let's chalk that up to COVID and all the weird issues snowballing from that. Cost effective, quick for delivery and pick-up, and reliable. read more

Store Space Self Storage Store Space Self Storage is buying up established storage units in Texas and 20 other states. Stay as far away from them as you can. I rented two 10X10 units for under $50 a month. Then they jacked the price up to $!39 a month each over a 6 month period. Once you have moved in and you have to make a large effort to move out they stick it to you. You have been warned. read more

Tony was just here and dropped off my 8x16 Unit storage container. He was courteous, professional, efficient, and answered all of my questions. After I load up the storage unit and they do the pick-up I look forward to updating this review. I have every reason to believe that my next experience will be just as positive. read more

Great service and friendly. Units was there for me for my entire moving experience and I'm truly satisfied. I would recommend Units to everyone needing a reliable storage company. read more

I had such a great experience with this company. I highly recommend this service. The owner was very nice and the two staff I worked with were as well. read more

Units out of Greenville was the best!!! Kind, friendly, extremely great at helping us move. There when you needed them with no holding on phone or stupid phone promps! We loved them. We revoked the for anyone needing assistance in moving or storing stuff. Great on pricing as well!!thanks from ed and family read more

Great! Wish I knew about them before. Friendly staff and affordable. My escrow date kept changing which was out of my control and they were very accommodating. read more

We needed temporary storage for our remodel. We chose Units and we loved it. We choose units after thorough online shopping because of the quality of the customer service and for their responsiveness. We have not been disappointed. The container was delivered on time, placed exactly where we wanted it. The unit was very clean, service on the phone was cordial and efficient, driver was polite and careful, and as cherry on the cake they have been very accommodating to our demanding schedule. Thank you team! Finally a last word to say that we have been very happy to have made the decision of using a mobile storage container over standard storage. if this solution is a bit more expensive, it was a great feeling to be able to take all our time to load the unit, have it taken out off our way while we were doing construction and have it redelivered in our driveway once ready. I was dreading the idea of loading and unloading the house between truck and storage (we would have had to do it twice!), this solution made it quick and almost painless... Highly recommended! read more

UNITS Moving & Portable Storage - Loading the unit on the truck - Movers Near Me - Livermore, California

It was a Friday morning...PODS had completely screwed me, canceling my delivery without notifying me and unable to get me a POD for over a week. Only problem is I had 4 more days to move. I called in a complete panic! Donna was amazing. She could very well have said I was crazy to think they could do something in my unreasonable time frame. But she didn't. I called at about 10 am, had a unit AT MY HOUSE by 1130 am. The driver was the best ever. All the while my panic was slowly disappearing. This company is truly about customer service. They go above and beyond in order to see their customers get what they need. I will forever use UNITS for my storage and moving needs. Thanks again Donna, and that sexxxy driver too!! Psstt.... I'm single ... read more

Moving is a giant pain no matter what you do, but this company sure did make my life easier during the long process. They were great and flexible about scheduling drop-off and pick-up and my items arrived perfectly in place so I can tell everything was handled with care. Awesome customer service and response times and they are also the most affordable option I found while researching, which was a bonus, of course. If you need help moving and want to simply all that goes with it, these are your people! read more

UNITS Storage was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! When I was looking for company to use for storage I honestly did not come across this company. I had an appointment set up for a Saturday and things fell through. Lucky for me that's when I found UNITS Moving and Storage and even better met Tony. Tony went above and beyond to help me and able to actually deliver a storage unit same day. He had great communication, customer service, and was someone who appreciated their job and proud to be a hard worker. UNITS should be very proud to have an employee like Tony represent them so well. Definitely recommend using them read more

I have to admit it was a little more expensive than we anticipated. However these guys are great! I called and spoke with Allison who was super curteous and able to help me right away.they scheduled us for the next day and gave us a drop off time. I received a call from the driver George about 2 hrs in advance saying he could be there a little over an hour early. He showed up walked me through the placement and had the whole thing delievered and unloaded with ease. He even explained some of the basics of the unit in case i had questions. He was also very curteous. I am extremely happy with my decisin to use this company. Jared C. Wake Forest read more

You'll smile at the quality of service from their drivers who deliver, setup and haul away the units. You'll cry at their grade school level accounting process that will result in random and incorrect charges against your credit card that you'll never get corrected and reversed. read more

This is how all businesses should operate! I called pods 1800 phone number and all that did was waste my time since I needed the pod asap since escrow got delayed and we had to move out right away. Once I called Units, Donna explained everything. I called at noon and she scheduled to have my unit dropped off at 4pm. She even called with a couple of updates of the driver's arrival time. Turns out I had to get 2 units since the one wasn't going to cut it for a 3 bedroom house and they delivered another one promptly. Both days of unloading and loading the pods, Donna kept in close contact with me on the status of the units since the final move didn't have a driveway. She went out of her way to juggle other customers to make my move go seamlessly. Since our final move was right by there headquarters she even drove to the new location to see what options we had for the units. Everything went amazing down to the minute. You just don't get good old customer service any more these days!!!!!! read more

We did a garage remodel and it didn't dawn on me until the day before the remodel that the garage needed to be empty! I called UNITS and Donna was a dream!! They immediately sent a POD to my house that day! Then when I went to call to have the unit picked up they were so gracious and even let me know that if I scheduled the pick up two days earlier it would save me $180.00 I could not believe she told me! Talk about an upstanding business! I will refer all friends and family! This place is awesome!! Thanks Donna! read more

Is it possible to give a 5-star review for someone whose services you didn't use? YES. When we were unsure if escrow on our new place would close on time (which would mean we would be in between houses), I made a frantic call to Donna, who helped me make arrangements to reserve two storage units for all of our furniture and things. Then, when we had to back out of our reservation because we lucked out with escrow, Donna very graciously thanked us for considering her and wished us luck. We offered again and again to pay a deposit or the delivery fee for canceling at the last minute, but Donna turned us down, saying "I don't like doing business that way." I'm impressed and grateful. UNITS was probably the most stress-free part of this entire move. (And yes, they really do always answer their phone in person.) read more

"UNITS" are the best pod storage you can get. Prompt delivery & service. Charges are competitive, but at the end of the day, service is what you want. Donna is very understanding to your needs & after we made our move from San Ramon to Oakley, we needed to pod removed from the driveway for our Christmas party, and while the their schedule was full & that week we were in for some heavy rain with the roads being challenge to drive, she was able to squeeze our pickup and have our driveway cleared before Christmas. Donna clearly knows what customer service is all about. I would without hesitation use them again & will definitely recommend them to anyone who could their service. Definitely a 5 STAR business!!! read more

I'm so happy with Units. I love that it's local and I love that they're always so friendly and helpful. We've used them several times and every single time, they've been reliable and my stuff has been fine. I recommend them HIGHLY! Shout to to Dana! read more

Absolutely great service and very convenient I used them for a local move in the Dublin area. They were fantastic. Prompt, professional service and very convenient. The owners go the extra mile to make sure your service needs are met. Their attention to detail and professionalism is very reassuring. It is also especially nice when moving that the storage needs/support is accommodating to hectic moving schedules. They were very flexible. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I don't write a lot of reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with UNITS. As others have mentioned, it is invaluable to have a local person who can answer questions and make things happen. These people communicate and let you know what is going on and then confirm that it has taken place. We completed a move from Livermore to Pleasanton and had a great experience. Nothing even shifted inside the unit so it was evident they took care with the contents. They are up front about explaining the rental rate and there is no pro-rated rate for partial months so just keep that in mind. It's the same policy PODS has and I think it's standard. read more

My husband and I recently remodeled our home and needed to move everything out, store for a month or two and move back in. Donna and her team at UNITS were top notch throughout the whole grueling process. All of our belongings were returned to us in the same condition in which they were stored. The driver was very courteous as well. I highly recommend UNITS to help take the stress out of your moving/storage needs. read more

Amazing company! We moved from the Bay Area to Sacramento including 3 weeks of storage time. They helped us figure out all the moving parts in the most inexpensive way possible. I would definitely use them again! read more

Donna, the owner contacted me on the issue I had with her company. She sent the money back that was charged for the 2nd trip on the same date, Also sent me a copy of the invoice like I asked... Great job!! I would use them in the future. It's great to see an owner care so much about her business and clients. Thanks read more

We used Units last summer so this review is over dued. We looked at PODS but the reviews werent great. Good thing Units was local to us. They did not disappoint. Everything was delivered on time and service was professional. It puts a smile on my face every time I see a Units container sitting in someone's driveway. read more

I recently moved homes and of course I had to choose the worst weekend to do it. After a record low year for rain, the heavens decided to open up and bless us with a soggy and wet saturday morning while we moved. While this normally would be a disaster, it was the easiest move we have ever had. Renting a Unit was the best choice I have made in a long time. Instead of being rushed and trying to pack everything in a rented truck and then rush to unpack, the UNIT allowed us weeks to plan and prepare for our move and pack. We were able to gradually pack up boxes and put furniture into the Unit, so when the big day came, all we had to do was pack a few last items and then the truck picked up our UNIT and delivered to our new home. We even had a little trouble with the truck winch breaking down, but the owner Rick showed up within minutes and fixed the cable with an angle grinder. Even with the rain pouring down it took us only 2 hours to unload the UNIT and allowed us to be unpacked by Saturday night. Since we rented the UNIT for a whole month we still had our UNIT outside of our house for another week, which really helped us organize the house and allowed us to keep some builky items (bikes, Bar table, etc.) dry until we were able to bring it into the house, While I hope to not move for a very long time, I will definitely reuse UNITS in the future. Not only are the units great but the staff was very helpful and responsive whenever I had questions or needed anything. read more
