First time user of storage facilities
First time of using this type of facility Matt Redfern was very helpful and informative prior to using the storage facilities and on the day we moved our items in. Having reserved a unit that wasn't big enough Matt kindly found a bigger storage unit for us. Sophie Grech was also very helpful in sending any information I requested.

HIDDEN INSURANCE COSTS BEWARE
The online forms allow you to choose no insurance (my household insurance covered me), on arrival, having driven there with my possessions I was told I had to sign up for a min £25 mth insurance, or get a letter addressed to Access from my Insurers, itemising the possessions and confirming they are insured. Like my Insurance would do that, and they know you've arrived with a van of stuff you need to store. It's a scan=m, pure and simple. £25mth (minimum) is more than I pay for buildings and contents on a 4 bed house. They wanted it for a tiny unit, for possessions worth a few hundred quid. It's a con to get you to sign up for a cheap unit, then make their money on teh Insurance, which most people would have to take on the chin rather than walk away. It is in the small print, very small print, but they don't tell you when you opt for no insurance. So BEWARE, your cheap unit isn't going to be as cheap as you think. I cancelled there and then and left.

Respuesta de Access Self Storage - Southampton
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you felt disappointed with the insurance process.
By law, storage customers must have insurance that meets the requirements for self-storage, whether through their own provider or through a policy we can arrange. This ensures belongings are fully protected at all times. In this case, the policy provided did not meet those requirements, and as an alternative we offered our in-house cover.
We completely understand this can feel frustrating, but security and compliance are very important to us. We’re glad we were able to cancel your policy promptly and arrange a refund, and we’ll continue working to make sure the insurance requirements are always as clear as possible.

Last minute storage dealt with professionalism and kindness
We moved from East Yorkshire down to Southampton on Monday , and ran into an emergency as the house was not ready for move-in.We contacted access self storage at about 4pm and the staff were kind and understanding, they arranged for us to unload at the local storage unit even though we arrived quite late !
The check out process was smooth… we just sent an email to inform them of the intended check out date and had an instant reply.
I can’t thank the staff member enough especially Jack at Southampton Access Self storage. At a time of stress, your professionalism and kindness made a lot of difference to our house move !
Thank you !

Beware of Contents Insurance scam
I uploaded my Home Contents Insurance policy as requested and this appeared to have been accepted. On arrival at the Southampton branch, the policy was rejected and I was presented with a piece of paper outlining what would be a suitable contents policy including naming Access Storage. My policy quite clearly states that I have cover for contents away from the home including whilst in temporary storage. I felt that I was being pressured into taking out a contents policy with Access. Copied out below is what their T&Cs state.
I was denied access to the storage unit. I cancelled my contract there and then. It took about 10 days for a refund despite the fact that Access took the money from my account well before the start date. I was deducted a days hire from the refund. This was dressed up as some sort of goodwill gesture as I had not been charged the full seven days. Clearly, in my opinion, the fault lies with Access. I was never allowed access to the unit.
Three words to describe Access - thieves, scammers and con artists
20.2.3 You will supply the store manager at the Facility with a letter from Your
insurance provider with proof of a valid contract of insurance with a
reputable insurance company for the full replacement value of the
Contents, specifying the insured value.
20.3 We may agree to waive the requirements set out in Clause 20.2 during
any period in respect of which You have paid for Contents Protection.

Respuesta de Access Self Storage - Southampton
Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet your expectations and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened.
To be clear, access to the unit was not denied outright. In fact, our team member, Henry, made every effort to enable your move-in on the day. You were offered the option to temporarily take out our contents protection so that you could access your unit immediately, with the understanding that you could then provide updated documentation from your insurer within the 14-day cooling-off period. Once that was received, we would have refunded the full protection premium — essentially treating it as a temporary hold rather than a charge, and ensuring no financial loss to you for that interim solution.
Regarding the refund, a one-day charge was automatically generated by our system, even though the store waived the standard seven-day notice period. While the team were unable to override this locally at the time, we’d be happy to arrange a refund of the remaining balance.
To process this promptly, please contact the store directly with your preferred payment details, as we do not retain this information in order to remain compliant with GDPR regulations.
We regret that this experience left you feeling dissatisfied, but we do hope this helps explain the rationale behind the steps taken — which were in line with our terms but also intended to be as accommodating as possible. We’re happy to discuss this further directly if you’d like to reach out again.

Initially worth it but not so sure now
Initial sign is was great and was happy with the experience. However we went to complete the transfer of furniture both lifts were not working. They got the first lift to work but since I have been moving in there is only one lift.
I had issues with after hours. Customer service gave me a pass code to go into the facility so we loaded up the car and when we got there the pass code that was given was not correct - I had wasted an hour and there were no after hour service stating that I had to log in the problem and they would get back to me during office hours. Very disappointing. To say that you have 24 hr access and not have it work is very poor.

Hi Mary,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear your initial experience was positive, but we're truly sorry that recent issues have impacted your overall satisfaction. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with lift availability and difficulties accessing the facility after hours—especially when time and effort had already been invested.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams, and we’ll be reviewing both the lift maintenance and after-hours access process to ensure better reliability going forward.
We appreciate your honest feedback and would welcome the chance to restore your confidence in our service. If there's anything further we can assist with, please don't hesitate to get in touch directly.

Spam called me 8 times in a week
Spam called me 8 times in a week, emailed me on top of this. When I eventually answered I said that I'm looking elsewhere because of the spam calling. The person who rang me said that it's just what they're required to do and said we aren't having this conversation and hung up halfway through my sentence. Think the managers need to have a serious rethink about how much they call potential customers, as it was completely unprofessional and they were unwilling to hear feedback.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, our sincere apologies for the poor impression left.
