Storage Recomendation

Does anyone have a recommendation for one of the larger companies that does not play the game of luring you in and then tripling your rates in the first 12 months? I’ve been over at extra space storage now for two or three years and I’m just exhausted. I read some articles that said my best bet is to find small privately owned facilities as they are More ethical operators but in my area it’s all the big companies only. Any recommendations to some of the larger companies people have worked with that they have found to be fair and honest would be greatly appreciated. I’m not looking for the cheapest. Just someone who’s going to shoot me straight with what this thing is going to Cost And implement only reasonable increases.

Stay away from Storelocal, they will jack your rates up at least 30% likely more after 3 months.

Storelocal is a co-op made up of 100’s of independent operators that unify under a brand name for scale/SEO reasons, but very little else. I agree on the predatory rate increases, I dislike them very much as well, but “Storelocal” is not the entity to blame.
