I had to store my classic truck until my garage was ready. The entire process was quick, smooth, easy and handled on the phone or through email. They also have an app to operate the gate as you approach or you can use the keypad. The process to terminate the rental was just as easy. I highly recommend Midgard. Should I have storage is needs again, I will definitely return here.

Jonathan who was on sight when we first came was great. He was patient in finding us what we needed and we were grateful that he was able to show us one of the indoor units before we purchased. We had a need for more storage and worked with Casey. He was equally great with helping us make a decision. My wife and I appreciate the customer service we received from both of these individuals.

- Marcus Hubbard

The facility is clean and organized. I had entered my information wrong so I couldn’t access my unit but when I called at 8pm on a Saturday, Lee was able to help me. She is absolutely amazing. She was organized, an effective communicator, punctual, and on point! Very well run and highly recommend.

Jonathan and David were very helpful during my visit to the Harrisonburg location today. I look forward to using their facility for the next year. I do encourage Midguard to install an override switch on their exit gate soon. Phil Updike

My wife and I were incredibly impressed with how well managed Midgard at Penn Laird is. Donna is fantastic! We highly recommend using this facility and frankly we would use a Midguard facility anywhere that one is available and where we needed to have storage.

- Josephine / Ken Andresen

The agent provided a quick response to our questions on a Sunday so we could rent a unit the same day. Easy access to the unit and an overall simple process.
