Grove Way Mini Storage

Great storage place. Open 7 days a week. Friendly staff. Reasonable rates. Five stars.

have rented a united for a long time, Karen the manager is delightful and a sweet heart.
willing to help would rent again.

I used their U-​Haul services, which were very customer-​friendly.
I had made a reservation with a different moving van rental company that was just a couple of blocks from where I was… only to be called Friday afternoon (for a Saturday morning pick-​up) that they now wanted me to drive into Oakland (a good 20 miles away) to pick up the truck. Since I was having to pay for mileage, that was no acceptable.
I called Grove Way Mini Storage early on a Saturday to see if they might have a truck available. Even though it was before the opening hours (which I was not able to find online). the phone was answered and arrangements were made for the rental van. The transaction went smoothly.
My only quibble is minor: the moving van was not given to me with a full tank of gas, but the contract noted it was ⁷⁄₁₆ full. So long as it was returned with the same amount of gas, there would be no extra charge… but guessing how much gas you use in an unfamiliar vehicle loaded to the gills with furniture, etc., was difficult. It would have been easier to just fill up the tank had it been provided to me full.

We’ve had a storage unit at Grove Way for over a year. They are VERY accomodating and professional. Karen is so sweet and always a pleasure to do business with.

Grove Way Storage is horrible! Why?
1. Rain water leaked into my unit… THROUGH THE WALLS and most of my things had mold beyond belief!
2. The owner is not paying a dime and claims that I should have the insurance for that… however, if the manager could read his own policy, he would note that the coverage excludes flooding and mold as a result of the construction defect.
3. The owner won’t pay a mere $ 2800 to compensate me, which is strange since I’m a litigation attorney who looks forward to suing the #&%! out of him,
So, in sum, what ever you do, take your valuables elsewhere… somewhere safe!
