Public Storage

Friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently located just off I-10’s Read Rd exit. Very clean and climate controlled units that are reasonably priced.

Public Storage on I-​10 Service Rd is a great option for people in the New Orleans area who need to store their stuff! I recently moved to New Orleans and needed a place to keep my extra furniture. I found this Public Storage site on-​line, on the public storage website. On the website, you’ll be bombarded with multiple Public Storage locations, all with different prices and different specifics, but by far, THIS Public Storage site was the highest quality, yet cheapest option for me to meet my needs. I was able to rent a 10X10 self storage unit without difficulty. The process is pretty simple, and takes less than 15 minutes if you do it in person like I did (and probably less time if you complete the paper work on-​line). The woman working was very friendly, and was able to answer any questions I had. The entire property was clean and looked quite new, which I don’t mind. They have elevator access, wide hallways, and even carts available to make sure that moving your stuff is as easy as possible. There are a couple of «hidden» fees that I think everyone renting a storage unit should know about though… In addition to your monthly rent fee, there’s also a one-​time $ 30 lock fee (you have to buy the lock to your unit when you get there), there’s also a «new account administration fee» which was $ 24, and there’s a mandatory insurance fee (in order to put your stuff there, you have to get insurance on it), which is $ 11-​$ 15 per month. I didn’t know about all of these extra costs when reserving the unit on-​line, and expected to pay $ 1 for my first month’s rent, and $ 53 monthly thereafter. Instead, I ended up paying more than $ 60, and will be paying $ 64 each month. So, the $ 1 first month’s rent deal is a good one, but you end up basically paying the same thing.
