"Clean, safe and an easy spot to store items. I secured a unit with them the day of my move and within 30 minutes, my unit was ready for me! Highly recommend using Life Storage - Chalreston."
"James was a wonderful associate that helped ensure that I was fully knowledgeable about my purchase prior to taking us as clients! He really finds and meets all the needs of his clients, and even goes out of his way to make sure to call and confirm your appointment with him too! Highly recommend!!"
"We have used Life Storage every summer while my student was in between campus housing and have always been extremely pleased with the facility. The ease of reserving a unit, the information sent via email that eliminated the need to visit the office to sign papers or get the access codes is so convenient. The facility is clean and easy to access, extremely good location for college students and always feel safe there. The staff is awesome, so professional and helpful. Highly recommend!"
"I thought I may have forgot to lock my locker one day , I called the store manager James at the facility and he offered to go and check it and make sure it was secured , I was very grateful for this gesture as I was so far away by the time I realized . It saved me time and money ."
"We have been using Life Storage for several years now, at the Meeting St. location in Charleston, SC. I honestly don't have words to say what an outstanding experience we have had. First, the man who works at the front desk, James, is absolutely AMAZING! He is always extremely polite, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. I actually look forward to my visits to this store because I know that I will see James! The Life Storage company is truly blessed to have an employee who is #1 in every sense of the word. Regarding the building itself, it is always impeccably clean with good lighting and easy access to our unit. We checked out several other storage facilities until we found this place, and I can say without a doubt: it doesn't get any better than this."
"This place is awesome! I'm going through a difficult time right now and the gentleman who helped me at the office was a God send. Informative and courteous!! It was an easy task for a day that I had alot going on. Thanks!!!!!"
"This is a great storage facility. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. The facility has a van you can rent free of charge when you move in, and it's a life saver. There was no hassle in renting or returning the van. You can also use it when you move out for a minimal fee. This is the first storage unit I've used with access to a moving van, and I'm a convert for life."
"Great experience at Life Storage. I have had 2 units here and James the manager goes above and beyond to take care of his customers and help out in any way possible."
"James is the best! He called me right after I had reserved my storage unit in case I had any questions. He helped me to reserve my storage unit for longer so that I could spend more time at home. He was great :) Thanks James!"
"The Life Storage experience was excellent in every way. James, the manager, covered every base and explained each option that came up. Documentation was thorough with all details clearly recorded. Special situations like the lock and the subject of insurance coverage were clearly presented.
I would recommend Life Storage 475 to anyone needing a storage solution.
Clement Ingram"
"Life Storage on Meeting St is the best. I've rented storage units all over the country from national chains and smaller local facilities. I rent from Life Storage on Meeting St because the manager (James) is excellent and the facility is clean, safe, and professional. You won't regret your time nor money spent here."
"Young lady at the front in the office Kaila she was very helpful young lady. Great attitude and nice service. My neice Brittany adores her as well. Thinking of storing here in future."
"James the mgr is a wonderful uncomplicated staff. He makes the process of moving a smooth transition. Thank u Mr. James Bishop for the last 3 years of nothing but good service."
"James and other staff members are so helpful. James spoke with me numerous times to get me the units that I needed. The facility is very clean and there was amp,e parking for our truck. I highly recommend them!"
"Facility is always clean, staff is always available when I need assistance and never a hassle to get in/out!
I am editing this review because James went above and beyond the day I moved out of my storage unit. What turned in to a stressful situation, James helped me out with his problem solving skills and saved the day. I wouldn’t even call this customer service. His kindness and willingness to help someone is beyond. Thank you, James!"
"James is great, but I went today to retrieve my son's belongings from our unit after a year-and-half and found several missing items, including a monitor and printer. Can't make a claim because I can't prove to the insurance company those things were there. I didn't take a picture of the filled unit before I shut the door. Remember to create an inventory of everything and take pictures!"
"Life Storage is great! It was a very quick process getting into the storage space, James made it very easy. Would recommend for anyone, especially Cofc college students since it’s so close to campus."
"It's convenient to downtown, and it's 24 hour access - but the bathroom is permanently out of order, and there is always evidence of rats or bedbugs."
"My daughter is a freshman at college of Charleston We rented a unit with two other roommates for the spring summer season. I had a few questions. I called and left a message. James with a British accent called back. What a super nice man. He went above and beyond what I expected. Thank you James for being so wonderful"
"Horrible service. They never answer the phone. Automated phone service does not have many options. Once account started they don't have a mechanism to add autopay. Online options for communication and payment are non-functional. Phone payments add a ridiculous extra charge."
"James was exceptional. He melted away all my worries. He is someone you can trust. This place is amazing compared to other places I have used in the past. James, I love you!!!!!!!!"
"Great storage location with wonderful staff. James the manager is wonderful and always present to help with in business hours. For a collage storage solution or life time of storage, this is your place in Charleston."
"James Bishopp has been so very helpful to us! He is informative, kind and willing to answer all of our questions and even show us the storage unit he felt would best fit our needs. The facility is clean and secure. We highly recommend Life Storage!"
"I had a fabulous experience renting a one-way 10-foot truck at this location. (This stands out as the best u-haul rental I have ever had). The gentleman that helped me, explained several things about the truck, I may not have realized; resulted in better gas milage (since not towing) and peace of mind locking the roll gate.
They also had plastic chair/mattress covers very reasonable, and several lock choices.
It was a fantastic experience. (Plus, got to hear a really wonderful MUSC childrens story! Big heart!!)"
"I went into life storage during an exhausting day, and fully expected my interaction with the customer service here to continue my exasperation. Instead I was greeted with a warm smile and a helpful demeanor from Ragan. Not only was she knowledgeable and genuine with her answers; she showed compassion for my frustration and tried to provide me with a glimmer of joy in the most unexpected of places- a storage unit!
Professional, patient, understanding and efficient. Truly a wonderful experience working with her!"
"I often have to work in remote parts of the world where I have little to no internet access or phone signal. Upon returning from my last trip, I learned there was an issue with processing the payment on my account, freaked out, and called the store. Regan not only answered my call after store hours, but was also extremely helpful and friendly while we resolved the issues with my account. 5/5 would recommend!"
"My company stores things here and every time I go its always clean and inviting. All the staff I run into is always kind and helpful. Thanks Life Storage!"
"I am very please with life storage James Bishopp was amazing and a great asset to the company. He informed me step by step with the move in. He was certainly very professional and very entertaining."
"James at the Charleston location has been excellent over the last two years. It was an absolute pleasure to work with James long distance from the Massachusetts area to Charleston. James was always so respectful and helpful 100 percent of the time. I will definitely be calling Life Storage next year when we are looking for a storage unit after school is out. Excellent company with wonderful employees."
"I have storage units in 3 different states and have rented units from both national brands and local guys. This facility is far and away the best. In fact, I have storage locations MUCH closer to my house that would be more convenient to my home, but I CHOOSE to stay here because of the facility and service. James runs a tight ship. The place is always clean, they always answer the phone, they always have accurate office hours, the carts are always returned to the storefront, and the bathrooms are always clean. It's easy to tell when management cares about their business and James takes pride in doing things the right way. Similarly, James' support staff is great. Ragan is excellent, attentive, and responsible. I encourage you to try this Life Storage. You won't have a better experience elsewhere. A++++"
"Raygan and James are PHENOMENAL! This location is awesome, they are always helpful. I highly recommend this location for anyone needing storage in the Downtown Charleston area or Mt Pleasant too."
"I highly recommend Life Storage, I love the 24 hour access, the faculty always clean . And the staff!!!!!! JAMES and RAGAN are the Bomb!!!!, so friendly and helpful and most of all Professional. If I ever need storage again, I would use Life Storage , Meeting St Road"
"That place is awesome! I must of road that elevator with the padded walls 64 times. Woooo, buddy! And that James guy.. Outstanding service. And what a comedian! He did a great, fake British accent. It could use a little work, but I felt as if I was in jolly ol Scotland. Put a couple of shrimp on the barbi, governor. 6 STARS!! "
"I absolutely love this place!!! The facility is fantastic with 24 hr access but above that the staff namely James is the best!!! James has gone above and beyond to help and accommodate me this man needs a raise because I can't say enough good things about him and this facility. Thanks for all your help James."
"This guy and girl, James,Shea are the best I have encountered in the business environments from all of West Ashley to Mt.Pleasant to downtown to Summerville. I would eat where they cooked, lived where they rented.. I felt pretty decent there always. Even when I accidently fell behind to where I paid in afvance. Always treated nicely.Very business appropriate ..Don't lose a good thing. Robert M. Bauman"
"James and his Female associate( sorry forgot her name), might be Shea, were GREAT!
If a storage need came up in the future I would not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone

"Outstanding customer service! James was so understanding and ever so accommodating. My daughter goes to school 1,000 miles away and James made this so easy for all of us. We are ever so appreciative and will only rent space here during her college years. Facility was immaculate, well lit and very safe. Thank you Shayla and James."
"James was so understanding and supportive and accommodating. My daughter attends college 1,000 miles from home and James and Shea were so understanding of our needs and did everything to accommodate us. The facility is immaculate , well lit, safe, and in an excellent location. Thank you James for making our renting experience 5 star! We hope to rent summer space during the time that our daughter attends school in Charleston . We are most appreciative and grateful."
"James and Shea are the best! I have been storing with them for almost two years. And have no plans to move my belongings out. From the first day I moved in, James and Shea have been extremely accommodating, generous, and sweet. I have always received exceptional customer service from the two of them, you couldnt ask for any better. The building is always very clean. I highly recommend this location."
"Wow ! So surprised to see immediate help and concern from a business. Bob Ward was a pleasure, and went out of his way to help me with a pressing issue. What a nice guy, we need more of them like this...."
"James helped me with my storage and he was extremely helpful and patient considering my situation. He went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. The facility is clean, easily accessible, and the process to rent a unit is very easy. I would highly recommend this location!"
"I had such a great experience the first time at this Life Storage, that I chose it again this year. (Also so convenient to downtown!) Shea & LaMon made the check-in process quick and simple, and the unit was spotless on move-in."
"James and Shea are absolutely the best! I have rented at this location two different times and still currently there. They are extremely professional and always happy to see you and go out of their way to help you. I’ve never had such a great experience at a storage business, much less at any other business. It’s a hard too find this type of customer service now a days."
"Honestly,Y’all exceeded my expectations by far best storage I’ve ever had. I tell everyone. And everyone that I know they have storage there feels the same way. Two other people I know have gotten storage with you guys since I told them. And we’re also very impressed. Thanks"
"Your website was very user friendly and I was able to easily reserve a unit online and schedule a day to move in. I was called in advanced to ensure I had no questions and when we arrived on move in day the processes was quick and efficient. All of the paperwork and policies were explained to me and we were able to start moving that day. The unit is clean and well kept all for a great price. "
