EXPERIENCE

The manager at Drayton Valley Storage, Ashley, is fantastic to deal with, is very friendly and goes the extra mile to be sure everything is just right for us. Mini pods are ideal for our special event storage. Pod was delivered to our event location right when we needed it and picked up upon our request. Can’t believe I used to store all this stuff in my office!!

This facility was a pleasure to do business with. The unit was clean, dry and easy accessible. The office staff were pleasant and informative. I would definitely recommend them and use again if necessary.

A huge shout out to Candice down at DV Storage! This girl is awesome! I wasn’t sure the size of unit needed & in telling her what I was storing she was able to set me up with the perfect size. She was very knowledgeable & patient in answering every one of my questions & even took the time to explain the app that I needed for the gate. If you are needing a storage unit she is the person to see. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job Candice.

As a tenant of Drayton Valley Storage, this is a wonderful facility with great staff. They offer a wide variety of units to suit anyone’s needs.

Well priced. Snow removal within 2 ft. of units. Friendly staff.

We have had the opportunity (and need) to use the portable storage services of Drayton Valley Storage twice in the past 3 years. The service has been prompt, efficient and courteous. We are grateful for their presence in our community.

My trailers been parked at DV Storage for about a year now. Super convenient parking, drive in ~ drive out. Candice is always super chill and friendly. Quick to answer questions. They keep the ground as clean and dry as possible. Very impressed with Drayton Valley Storage.

5 star service !!
I started storing my items with Drayton Valley Storage mid 2016
Over the 6 years, never once encountering a situation that I needed to bring to their attention.
I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again if opportunities arose.
Always got greeted with a smile.

5 Stars. Amazing customer service, friendly staff, and very great pricing!!

My experience with DV storage has been very pleasant. Romnique was very helpful in showing the different options and explaining the registration and the usage of the Pal Gate app.

Romnique was fantastic and friendly to communicate with and has been very helpful.
