"I love the Free Truck Rental, but the place I rented from did not have a truck, so I had to go pick it up at another location which was a pain. You should double-down on the free truck rental idea. That sets you apart from other storage rental places. Great benefit. Hugely helpful. Please keep the process as simple as possible."

"She greeted us as we came in the door I had reserved via internet and everything was all set. Took us to the unit and showed it to us. Was very friendly. Also we used a truck and had to pick up at a different Uncle Bob's and the woman there was just as friendly and helpful. All in all exceeded my expectations. "

"The facility is great and the staff is friendly and fantastic to deal with, but the units are undersized about two square feet depth-wise; it doesn't sound like much, but it certainly adds up. I am renting a 20x20 and a 20x10; this should equal 600 sq ft of usable space, but I've only got 540 sqft to work with and 60 sq ft really makes a difference."
