10/10 service from Chris. Despite arriving past 5pm (the last time of the day to buy storage), chris stayed later to accommodate my self storage needs. It was my first move, and I was anxious but he ensured it went smoothly and I left happy and stress free. The storage rooms are spacious and secure, and we also got a really nice 50% discount which as a uni student, was helpful. Thank you Chris

A Big Thank You Storage King York I have just moved out of Storage King in York and everything from moving in to moving out went extremely smoothly. The booking was easy and even though I arrived with my furniture after the office had closed everything was set up for me to move in with ease. The unit was very clean and I felt my belongings were safe. Communication was great throughout, a big shout out to Natasha who was very friendly efficient and helpful from start to finish. Thanks Natasha and Storage King I would definitely use you again and will recommend you to family and friends.
