We have been customers there for over two years. The staff has always been very helpful and polite. We upgraded to a larger unit, and we love it. The place is always clean and it is very easy to get to. We are always greeted with a smile by Jose when we show up. He is always very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Jose.

This is my first time using a storage and I am so happy with my experience. The gentleman who assisted me was very helpful. I am a woman and I don't like to go alone so I am happy they have so many cameras. I feel my stuff is very safe there and the price is right! Thank you guys for making my experience an easy one.

We are glad we found this storage place, and highly recommend it! Customer service is excellent and the staff is easy to work with! Facility is pristine and well organized. Their dock and bay design is a bit different than what we have seen before. Instead of a row of multiple bays side by side, they have two bays in one large main area, and two other bays in a smaller area.Make sure you familiarize yourself with their access hours. If you need to continually reach your belongings during later hours, consider a 24 hr access facility instead. For us, this place met our needs!

The staff here are super friendly. I was amazed that they are the largest self storage facility in New Jersey. There are several other self storage facilities near Bergen County. However they are much smaller and have a worse rating. Which makes me question how can Safe & Secure Self Storage keep a rating above 4 and have so many clients. I guess the proof is in the math. Quality customer service. Always greeted with a smile. If I'm late on payment, I received several notifications. All around great place

I came here as a first time storage company user and I have to say it's a really cool building. The property is huge. The building is very nice. I was a bit confused as to there location at first, but they're right in-between all of the major roads from the city and depending on the hour I would imagine not to hard to get to in a good amount of time. I do appreciate the customer service, because I have had horrible experience with other company's and their customer service.FYI: I came into the office with a chip on my shoulder because I wasn't sure what to expect and i was really nervous about leaving our furniture anywhere else but our home. My wife is the one that found them and I went to make sure she was making the right decision (i always second guess my wife and then I realize she's right). So, as far as my experience I give them an A+ and thanks again for making my first storing experience a very smooth one.Thanks again!

I came here not knowing what to expect and I have to say I am quite pleased. It just so happens that I booked my unit for Tuesday May 7th and I had to reschedule till today the 8th. They were more than accomodating with extending the booking (it was on ground level). I was very pleased with the fact that they have very controlled hours which made me feel more secure because the stuff I am storing is very fragile and means a lot to me. The storage prices are more than affordable. I live on the lower west side of Manhattan and they're located within 20 minutes from the Lincoln tunnel (prices are 25% of the standard in NYC New York City) . I am very pleased and the staff were very polite and friendly. Thanks guys!

I really like these guys. I spoke with the customer service rep to rent a 10x10 storage unit and found that they were very professional and polite. On the date I booked I came in and Michael was waiting there for me. I asked, "Are you Michael?" I am Michael, "he replied." Michael said, "Thank-you for being so punctual." I guess a little bit of flatter never hurt anyone right? So, I went to my storage locker and found that the place was very clean and spacious. I actually remember going into this building as a kid before it was Central Bergen Properties. They really did this place up nice. Growing up in Clifton New Jersey, all we had to do as kids was explore old warehouses and things like that. So, I was pleasantly pleased when I cam into this place, which I have been to before and see that they fixed it up.

I was combing the internet for an affordable storage company in the Garfield New Jersey area. I had reached out to a few places only to find some steep pricing. I stumbled upon Safe & Secure Self Storage by going through google maps and found that they were very professional over the phone and their pricing was almost 10-20% less than what I was quotes by the other self storage companies I had spoke to. I was really happy with the service and the prices thanks guys!

Pro's: Great rates Giant freight elevator Neat old industrial building with wood floors Tractor trailer loading docksCon's: There are no trash cans at all in the building aside from in the one bathroom. No soap in bathroom Closes too early Extreme temperatures Open ceiling units (spider webs, dust, and moths easily infest units) Only two ramps for cars Only one elevator for buildingPersonally annoying experiences: When I signed my lease, I forgot my lock at another facility but they wouldn't allow me to simply run and get it and come back. Would've taken me 30 mins. Instead, they made me buy another I didn't need before I left the premises even though nothing was in my unit at that point. Locks aren't cheap. I keep my spare lock as a weapon of defense in my car now. No other use for it. *If you get into financial trouble there is no way to get out of, nor postpone auction aside from paying all fees and dues in full. Other facilities work with you a bit or at least allow tenant to vacate for a discount of what's due. I get that it's a business, but plenty (most) businesses extend some sort of courtesy for customers during financial trouble at least ONE TIME. This facilty budges on nothing, ever. Dying of cancer, lost your job, become disabled ... it's irrelevant and they'll let you know that. Just be aware.
