Stay away from Public Storage. They will continue to raise your rates!!!! In 25 months they have raised my monthly rate by 55% from $179 (trying to get you in the door) to $401!!! And this is just for a small 10' x 10' unit in Picket St in Alexandria VA. I contacted them asking for some release and they said, "NO". I've contacted the BBB and basically Public Storage is holding me as hostage since I'm not in VA at the moment and don't have any other options! I understand that prices do increase but not at 55% in 25 months. Also, they are advertising my same unit for $185 (on line). REMEMBER - that is just to get you in the door, then they will raise your rates!!!!!
