Overall, great value and extremely friendly!

No one told me it would more than double. They're telling me that my contract states that the $42 rate is "prorated" and the rate will go up to $61 after that. I was never given/sent a copy of my contract as I signed up over the phone. This doesn't explain why it went from $61 to $86, and the woman on the phone didn't understand why either. She did warn me that "rent goes up every three months, I warn all of my customers but not everyone here does that." Complete bullshit. The person I signed up with told me that insurance was included in the rate and this is not the case! Moving out tomorrow.

The movers are consistently punctual, hardworking, and strategic, not to mention they are experts at Tetris. Our most recent move got complicated fast, with multiple pickup locations, last-minute changes, custom logistics, and Brandon was extremely helpful. He met every curveball with a genuine can-do attitude. He was honest about what was and wasn't possible while still making a lot of good things happen, and worked with us to land a fair, affordable price. He made a stressful move feel totally manageable. Even though our most recent move took us out of the area, but we will recommend Up and Up at all our Bay Area friends!

Short version: I'm raising my review to 3 stars which is an average of the 1-star initial…read moreexperience with the 5-star effort that owner Matteo made to apologize, take responsiblity, and pay for damages. Long version: On the same day I e-mailed Up and Up's owner Matteo and posted this review--in fact, within an hour--he called and sent me a message. "I will make this right," he said. His actions over 2 weeks since then demonstrated his strong appetite to do as he promised. We discussed how this situation happened, and he took full responsibility for all of the elements of this that were preventable. In fact he took *personal* responsibility rather than throwing his crew under the bus, which was commendable. We talked about how he might more effectively communicate the fact that moving industry contracts fully protect moving companies from liability regardless of the cause--accidents or moving company negligence. My lesson: I should include full coverage insurance in my future moving budget. Matteo arranged for my damaged cabinet to be repaired, paid part of the costs of my unpacking crew (who had to play Jenga in order to carefully untangle the unsecured load), and promised to (re)train his crew. Despite the shifting load, we had very little breakage, and no breakage in the boxes they packed. For a cross-country move in a UPack truck (which is not known for gentle treatment of loads) this is a very good outcome. Matteo rightfully pointed out that I asked for help packing the kitchen the night before the move, which meant the crew moved quickly in the kitchen--hence the unlabeled boxes. I wish none of this had happened, but I'm very grateful for Matteo's integrity in committing to make it right.

HORRENDOUS Experience at Extra Space on Clement in Alameda…read more My experience at this location was frustrating from start to finish. The office was locked during working business hours, and I left several voicemails over time -- none of which were ever returned or followed up on. Anytime I needed help with billing, gate codes, or basic questions, there was simply no one available. I even tried using their online live chat, and after explaining my issue, I was given a gate code -- but the agent told me they weren't sure it was going to work. That sums up the level of care and confidence they provide: guesswork. Even basic conveniences were missing -- there was no access to recycling or trash disposal, so I had to take all my unused boxes and even trash from cleaning up rat droppings back home to throw away. There was also no bathroom available for tenant use -- a basic necessity that was completely overlooked. For a paid facility, that level of neglect is unacceptable. Worse, my unit (#907) was physically unsafe. The door malfunctioned regularly and fell on my head multiple times. I even had to crawl into the unit at one point to fix a jammed door on my own. When my father was helping me take things to the Salvation Army, the gate code wasn't working, which delayed my moving-out process and added unnecessary stress. Other serious issues included: A rent increase without any notice The facility called the police on me without justification -- though the officers and I had a good laugh about it afterward, and I even got the officer's number so I could call them directly if I had more gate code issues. A rat infestation that affected my unit and others -- and when I reported it, staff ignored the issue entirely. The unit was filthy, with rat droppings inside, and it was clear that maintenance and sanitation were not a priority. Most of the staff were rude, unresponsive, or simply absent, though I do want to acknowledge Riley, who was the only team member that was helpful and professional. Between the unsafe conditions, lack of communication, zero accountability, and completely unreliable customer service, I strongly urge others to avoid this location. I've since moved to Public Storage, and the difference has been like night and day. If you choose to rent here, make sure you're insured -- and be prepared to handle everything on your own.

The facility is impeccably clean, including the restroom. The rates are reasonable for the storage size needed as well as the price options for insurance. And the building security at every access point definitely sets this company apart from its competitors. Might I add that we certainly enjoyed the view when we decided to load-in our items for safekeeping. Thank you Riley for being informative, kind, and helpful. Hopefully I am adding to the list of customers who see you as an asset and great representative of the company. Btw, the showcase of the unit had us sold upon sight, size, and cost. Thank you again!! *We initially met Claudia at the facility in Oakland. Claudia was quite instrumental in our quest for the unit we now have at a different location. Thank you, Claudia for also being invaluable to Extra Soace Storage. :)

Update: July 2026 -- they again nearly doubled my rent to $184... without texting, calling or emailing. This is just bad business.
