4/5
The place is OK. It misses a ramp for Luton Vans and also the alarm system is triggered on too many occasions. Last there is only one size of trollies that does not compare favourably with peers.
5/5
Great staff, quick and easy to access storage which is secure. First time using but will definitely use this place again and would recommend.

Sophie and Monta were so helpful, kind and professional. Really impressed by this service and how smooth the process was! Thanks so much for making a stressful day a lot less stressful!
4/5
Its okay, however the entire process of obtaining the storage unit is quite a long process, and although a lot can be done on line, your still a long time to get the unit, 40 signatures later, I then had to wait for the manager to approve my padlock, really?? They are always trying to sell you their products, the insurance is ridiculously expensive, works out over £200 a year but if you go on line you can get the same cover for £15 for the year. The boxes they sell are also way over priced so your better ordering from EBAY. And pricing structure on the units is based on demand, so if you can hold off you can get it for half the cost, worth haggling.
5/5
Used the place for about a year. Very convenient and a great way to de-clutter. Plenty of choice in size of rooms. Corridors are wide so moving the large trolleys provided is very easy. Staff friendly and let us see a range of room sizes before choosing.

PLEASE PLEASE do your research on storage places before you commit to the bigger storage companies. Wish I had been given a bit of advice before we moved a 3 bed house worth of items into Big Yellow. Things worth knowing ahead of committing: 1. Find your own storage contents insurance and have it set up before you move your stuff in. If you don’t, they will insist you take on their insurance on the day you move your things in. Their insurance is a ridiculous monthly cost which we ended up paying for a few months until we found our own. There are quite a few good storage insurance companies around. Make sure they cover vermin - this is what a lot of normal contents insurance don’t cover. Once we had found a much more reasonable insurance company - we went to cancel the insurance with Big Yellow and miraculously they were able to match our new quote and sold us a yarn about how it would be easier to stick with their insurance! Why was it so expensive in the first place? 2. Regular unit price increases - we were given a good deal by John the manager when we moved it. But within 5 months of us having our storage with Big Yellow - they put the prices of the units up. They do this by email, and on a weekly basis so it doesn’t seem much. But when you add it up, it amounts to quite a lot over a year. When I asked Gill about it and explained that we had only been with them for 5 months - she said she’d see what she could do for us but nothing was ever done and she eventually ignored my emails to her on the matter. Then later in the year just before Xmas we received another price increase on our units (by now we had two) - so two fare increases in space of 1 year! I contacted them again about it and asked if they could provide a list of intended dates for price increased so we could prepare our finances for the increases - to which they never responded... I followed up a few times and though they were speaking to me about other matters, they never address my queries on this. The only thing Gill told me was that I had supposedly had a good discount - 41.6666% percent (to be exact!) on our units in the first place! So they way I see it is that they get you in on a supposedly good deal initially and then hike up the prices over the year. Please don’t be fooled. In the end, we hired removal guys and took our storage to a family run business - we have a lovely secure new unit the same size combining the 2 units we had a Big Yellow, for literally a fraction of the price. We are paying £85 a month, with no twice yearly price increases when I think we were paying over £300 a month at big yellow.
