We at Life Storage want to maintain the best storage facilities in Toms River, and in every city where we do business.
Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"Very professional and knowledgeable. Gina was confident in helping us pick the right size unit and all worked-out perfectly. The units are easy to access and conveniently located."
"Gina was super friendly and helpful in getting us our storage unit. She even helped up with a pricing issue and extended the hold on our unit to make sure we weren’t overcharged. Excellent customer service!"
"This is my 2nd experience storing my personal belongings with Life Self Storage located at 1929 Rt. 37 East, Toms River, NJ 08753. Obviously, I was 100% satisfied the 1st time with Life Self Storage in and of itself as a company but the real magnetic draw in returning to Life Self Storage a 2nd time is inexplicably and without a doubt, the manager Gina Gibbons. From my initial conversation with Gina on the phone to the actual 1st time I had the pleasure of meeting her face to face, Gina’s warm and welcoming ways immediately made me feel very comfortable and put any concerns that I may have had to rest. Moving is hard. It can get to the point where it is quite physically and mentally exhaustive.
Gina knows this. She also knows that by the time her customers get to her they’ve most likely gone through the arduous and emotional process of either buying or selling a home and all that is involved with that process or perhaps renting, packing, and moving to a new location. Helping her customers move and assuring them that their very personal and prized possessions will be safe and protected is Gina’s business. She knows her business inside and out and she succeeds at it every single day. I’ve personally been on the receiving end of Gina’s calm words of encouragement and have also been in the office when I’ve heard her offer the same kindness to customers on the phone who are at their wits end with moving and trying to find a storage facility to accommodate their needs. Gina truly tries to alleviate as much stress and aggravation that the process of moving may have on her customers.
Gina explains that Life Storage has vans and trucks that are available to rent at a very reasonable cost to her customers. The rental vehicles come fully equipped with everything that could be needed during a move, i.e.,
a hand truck, bungee cords, etc. Also, the office that Gina is the Manager of and all of the other Life Storage locations as well, offer an array of merchandise that might be needed to makes her customer’s move easier for them.
They offer a Start-Up Kit for $25 that contains different sized boxes and a roll of packing tape. Wardrobes to keep hanging items neat, bubble wrap to ensure that all fragile belongings stay unharmed and pad locks to ensure that your belongings are kept safe.
Another great perk that Gina offers is a 20% discount on any and all items purchased for up to 2 weeks from your initial day of storage. Also, when one of Life Storage’s vehicles are rented for the 1st time certain fees are waived as an incentive. Gina keeps her Main Office and the hallways of the storage buildings immaculate. I’ve never, ever seen dirt or even one piece of garbage anywhere on the property of Life Storage. Gina keeps it neat and clean just as we would keep our homes.
I would absolutely 100% recommend
Life Storage to my family, friends, and anyone I find out is in need of a storage facility.
I would especially recommend the
Life Storage that is located at 1929 Rt.37 East
Toms River, NJ 08753 because that is the
Life Storage that Gina Gibbons is the Manager of. Gina will treat you like Royalty and a VIP.
She will accommodate you and assist you in any way that she can to make your experience as smooth as possible. I’ve had the honor of knowing Gina Gibbons for quite a few years at this point. She deserves every single ounce of praise that she is given. She excels at her job.
Gina also excels at being a good, kind person.
I am proud to say that not only is Gina a business acquaintance but I also consider her to be a friend."
"Life Storage came highly recommended, and I wasn't disappointed. Needed temporary storage to transition from a 2b/2ba into a studio. When I ran into the office last minute requesting a larger unit, Gina was beyond helpful. She patiently answered all my questions, walked me around to compare units, and helped me determine which size unit was practical. The grounds are very well kept, the lighting is great; but Gina is the rock star! If you're looking for storage, go see her. You won't be disappointed."
"Gina the store manager was super helpful & nice! We saw the space we wanted & got it the same day! She explained everything clearly to us and made the process of checking out super easy! 10/10 recommend coming to LifeStorage for your storage needs!"

"Workers are so friendly and wonderful!! And place is so clean and organized! Spaces are nice, clean and easy access, so happy I just opened an account here"
"Such an efficient, easy, and pleasant experience! I've had a unit here for 5 years and the staff has never failed to be helpful and courteous. Even closing the unit out was way easier than i expected. No hassle payments online, the ability to pay several months in advance, reminders. The place is spotless and if you forgot any items like a lock, packing materials, etc, no problem - they have a shop in the office for your convenience. Truly a first class experience, 10/10 would strongly recommend without hesitation!"
"This location is very customer friendly and Gina is super helpful. I had a POD delivered there from out of state and she helped me coordinate delivery and walked me through the process as well as pick up. All went very smooth I Highly recommend this location."

"Lauren gave us excellent service! She was so helpful and patient. She made us feel comfortable and confident to store our belongings here. My husband came yesterday and Gina showed him the space and the property. She was very helpful and informative. Great staff!"
"Gina the manager is very professional and does the best she can with the property. I’ve rented a unit here for the last 5 years, and never an issue. Storage units aren’t cheap, but you want to use a good facility to ensure your junk is safe.
I can’t recommend this Life Storage location enough!"
"I recently just rented a storage unit here. Prices are very reasonable and comparable. Gina and Lauren were both very helpful showing me the unit and setting me up with supplies needed for an easy transition on my move."
"Toms River facility 730 5 stars go out to Gina and Lauren for helping me get my gear in a unit with no problems thank you ladies!!!!
Keep up the great work!!!!!!"
"This place has been great to work with. They made the process of getting a unit and paying so easy. Compared to others in the area they were much more friendly. Thanks Gina and Lauren."
"We needed to down size spoke with Gina were told nothing was available at the moment but she would put us on the list. About a month later she called to say one was opening up. We went to the office that day and all the paperwork was completed in a short time. Gena is fast, efficient, helpful and very friendly. The office and floors are always neat & clean, gina is a real KEEPER"
"Gina Gibbons is an excellent representative of Lifestorage. She is very knowledgeable and efficient. The office was clean and neat. The online experience was simple also."
"Gina at this facility was very helpful and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to get me the size unit that I needed, even though she had few units available. Thank you Gina!"
"Lauren was very professional and helpful. Answered all my questions. Showed me my storage space before i signed contract and after I signed took me to gate to ensure my access code worked on gate."
"We had the pleasure of working with Gina at Life Storage. She turned a stressful, inconvenient situation into an relaxed, accommodating experience. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, resourceful and pleasant since our initial interaction. We recommend her location for all your storage needs."
"I would give zero stars if there was an option too. I have paid these people over $4000 in the past six months and only had access to my unit for maybe a couple weeks. How they run their billing and enforcement is a scam they extort you for money and then they dont even bother to take the lock off the unit but they certainly are quick to demand more money. If life storage knew what was good for them they would clean house of all their managers and assistant managers and start a new at this facility. Ive submitted an incident report with corporate and intend on bringing criminal charges"
"Had an amazing opportunity to rent a storage unit here and Gina and the staff were amazing and knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend to rent here.."
"We worked with Gina Gibbons and it was the easiest best storage experience ever. We were a little nervous snout renting but she guided us through and we transferred to another unit in a couple of hours thank to Gina. She is amazing and we would not go anywhere else!!! =M=M=M"
"Gina was extremely courteous and helped us threw the easiest part of our move thanks to her. We were confused on how much we could fit in the space we wanted. She went out of her way to not just fit us with the proper space but ultimately saved us money by showing us we didnt need the big one we thought. Thank u for your help. I highly recommend this place to store your goods!!!"
"The layout is too wide and they even have a second floor which is inconvenient to get your stuff up to and you have use an elevator. Staff is nice but clueless with regard to real-life issues. Go somewhere else.."
"I have been a long time customer of this Life Storage facility in Toms River. The managers are always so friendly informative and very helpful. They offer lots of dollies and moving carts to assist with your moving and storafe needs. The floors are clean. They have a huge bathroom that is always very clean and I never mind using when I visit my storage unit. I have been a customer that has come back to this very facility because I trust them so much even though is not close to my new home. Its worth the travel. Gina and Janice, the store managers are the friendliest ladies ever and I love seeing them when I visit, I always pop in just to say hello to them. By all means this is a professional and friendly ran business that I have recommended to my friends and family as well. 5 Stars no doubt!!!"
"A friend of mine just lost her mother her mom was very sick before she passed and didn't make her payments for two months the items in that storage unit are all she has left of her mother and the storage unit is not letting the family pay off what is owed or get the items back...her mom's wedding dress in there and she wants to use it for her wedding one day absolutely horrible that they will not let her get her mother's belongings or let her pay off the balance disgusting company.

"This is the second unit that I am renting from Life Storage. Gina and Mike are very professional and great to work with. When I expressed interest in the second unit, Gina reach out to me and went over what units were available and when. Working with Mike on a Sunday, (FYI one of the few storage facilities open on a Sunday), he showed me various units to determine what best fit my needs, then completed the process in a professional and courteous manner. Finally, I have been a customer of this storage facility for the past 7 years and it is well run and very secure."

"Gina and Mike have helped me beyond belief. This place is more than just a storage unit. They are patient and kind and do everything they can to help in every way possible. I've been here for over 2 years and even though it would cost me less to sell all of my belongings I choose not to because I know at least everything is safe and I'll have my life once again. Gina always finds a way to make every situation positive and I will always be thankful for her."
"Gina helped me set up my first time ever storage unit and it was simple and she make it super simple to sign up. Great place for storage thank you gina for the wonderful experience"
"Great facility! Friendly staff! Gina was super helpful with showing the different size units and setting me up with exactly what i needed. The unit also comes with a truck rental which was a great bonus. Ive moved alot in so far and the property seems very safe and is in a very convenient location. Would highly recommend."
"The facility is just great. We were displaced from our home after Super Storm Sandy, so we had to move right away, find a rental home and most of all storage. Life storage was close to our home and rental, so it was a home run for us. Just being displaced, rebuilding, and moving was enough. The staff, Gina and all the rest were so helpful to us made things a lot easier. We had at on time 5 units through all our moving. Thanks Again for everything!"
"Gina, on location was great! She was super patient when i was running late for an appointment to view the available storage unit. I have a keen eye for all aspects of customer service and I have to say, he did a great job! She checked all the boxes for me for what I look for in an outstanding customer service experience. I would recommend this location to others and continue as a customer of Life Storage. I also have to give a shout out to the other Toms River location further down Rte 37 as they coordinated the truck rental. They along with Gina and even the 800 number call center people made renting from Life Storage easy and pain free."
"This place is awesome. Gina is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and nice. She took her time showing my husband and me the available units. She was patient with answering all of our questions. The units are very clean and well taken care of. I would totally recommend Life Storage to friends and family."
"This place costed us more money and put us through hell last night. After a long day driving from Toms River to Emerson NJ , loading up a rental truck and driving back to Toms River to unload We got to our storage about 9pm. Final access to get though the security gate is 10pm. After entering our access code to open the gate the gate failed to open and a message came up saying Management has a question...call management. The office was closed. We called the Emergency number. It took a very long time on hold till Don answered. We told him our situation. We drove a long way. We had to return our rental truck but has a lot if merchandise we needed to unload to our unit and can't open the gate.
He said we had a past due amount of $117.
We said that's impossible. We just got that unit. We paid for half of May (We began our lease mid May) and we paid full month of June. It is now June 9th. Don said he would really the urgency to the local manager and they will call back as we will not be able to get through the gate after 10pm no matter what.
No one was calling us so far so we went online and paid the $117 just to get through the gate. When we got to our unit it was padded with a red lock and they removed our lock cylinder we purchased from them and put their cylinder in so we can't use our lock.
I had to drive home with a fully loaded truck. Empty the truck in my garage and other parts of my home. Return the truck to the rental place. Pay my helper more money to work longer.
Now I still have to rent a truck again getand top someone again to get everything out of the house and bring it to another storage unit that I am going to rent.
I will be going to the office today Sunday, if this horrible place even opens. The Emergency number is good for nothing. MANAGEMENT NEVER CALLED US BACK LAST NIGHT AND TODAY. We were left hanging.
You don't need a place like this. Don't trust this place because when there is an issue you will be lead to believe help is on the way and Management couldn't care less about you.
They will leave you stranded. I don't even trust my goods there anymore. We will vacate to a safer and more trustful place who will be there for us when a major or small problem occurs

"We must sing the praises of Gina, who has been instrumental in assisting us as we downsized and moved our belonging into storage at the shore. She is a fount of knowledge and patience, both of which she puts to good use in assisting her customers. Take this weekend: We were moving another load into a new locker on Saturday, got stuck in heavy traffic, and made it to Life Storage just minutes before the office was to close. Gina not only patiently and efficiently got us through the remaining paperwork -- she also assured us that she would not have left until we arrived, as she knew of our traffic troubles. Now that's service! And kindness. Thank you, Gina!"
"I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gina and the staff at this Life Storage facility. Convenient location, clean and friendly. Keeping my extra furniture here was a pleasure. I wish I still lived locally to use this facility!"
