1-star Google reviewTianna H.a year ago
TRASH!!!!! My unit was broke into TWICE! I made a police report, sent pictures of everything that was missing, and was never compensated for my stuff because I didn’t have the “receipts” of everything I bought over the years. Was paying insurance(which was mandatory, and included in storage payment)and everything. They didn’t even wanna show me security footage, even AFTER I made a police report. Then I was told there was no higher up or supervisor I could reach about the matter.

Rented from Bolt Storage for 7 months, out unit was broken into in broad daylight with cameras in front of the unit as well, little response from the local law enforcement, as well as little response from Bolt, it boggles me that with cameras and everything literally in front of the unit and still having our sons stuff as well as our taken in broad daylight is just sad and heartbreaking. Prior to break in was a great place to store extra stuff during our move. Would not recommend or rent from again.
