The company rents storage units in a wide range of sizes at a single location at 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94107. The office phone is (415) 826-7900 and the email address is calmini@calministorage.com. The site states that all of the units are on ground level with drive-up access, so a vehicle can be pulled up to the unit door. Access hours are available seven days a week, and the facility describes itself as "your ground level facility." Units are described as sanitized and protected by security measures, including a locking device the site calls the exclusive Ultra Latch. The website says the company is "A proud member of the Self Storage Association," and the features page notes "Se Habla Espanol!" Services named on the site include monthly storage unit rental, an automated monthly payment option using major credit and debit cards, lock sales for customers who do not bring their own, parcel receiving (the site says to ask for details), and online payment through a payment portal linked from the home page as "Pay Online." People considering storage can call the office at (415) 826-7900, visit the office in person, or submit the contact form on the Contact Us page to discuss storage needs, sizes, prices and current availability with staff. Current rates for each unit size are published by the business on its Sizes and Prices page, and the office can confirm what is available at the time you contact them.

Areas beyond these are not published. ## Prices California Mini Storage publishes its unit sizes and its current rates on the Sizes and Prices page of its website at https://www.calministorage.com/sizes.html. That table is the business's own published source for pricing, and because storage rates and unit availability change, the price and the cost for any given size should be read there or confirmed with the office rather than quoted from anywhere else. This document deliberately does not repeat any rate. The table lists each size using three dimensions, together with square feet, cubic feet and a column headed "Current Rate." Sizes range from a small locker-type unit up to units of several hundred square feet, and most units are eight feet high. The page advises: "When asking about storage, remember that cubic feet is the most important figure. Don't be fooled by square foot prices." It also states that "24 Hour Access units are available to contractors at no extra charge." The site does not publish a live inventory, so whether a particular size is available on a particular day is not something the website shows. The How to Move In page directs customers to "Call or come into our office to determine your size needs and availability," and states that "Our staff can quote total fees over the phone." Move-in costs are described on the site as one full month's rent, a refundable security deposit, and an administration fee; the features page describes rent as prorated month to month with a 30 day minimum rental. For the current figures, for an estimate of total move-in fees, or for any quote, call (415) 826-7900 during office hours, email calmini@calministorage.com, or use the contact form on the Contact Us page.

There is no online reservation system described on the site; the process begins by contacting the office. The first step is stated as: "Call or come into our office to determine your size needs and availability." The office phone is (415) 826-7900 and office hours are Monday through Friday 2pm - 6pm, Saturday 12pm - 4:45pm and Sunday 1pm - 4:45pm. Staff then assist with filling out the rental agreement contract. The page states that up front fees are due at move-in, consisting of one full month's rent, a refundable deposit, and an administration fee, and adds: "Our staff can quote total fees over the phone." Ask the office for the current amounts. Customers can also rent by email using a credit or debit card. The page describes downloading the "Move-In Form," filling it in and emailing it to calmini@calministorage.com. Even when renting by email, the site states: "Before having access to your storage unit we ask that you stop by our office to complete our contract in person. At that time please bring your state ID, driver's license or passport so we can take a copy for our file." Accepted cards are listed as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. Customers can bring their own lock or purchase one from the office. The remaining steps are to review the Rules and Regulations, receive a personal security code to enter the yard and inspect the sanitized unit, and then move in. An online payment portal for ongoing monthly payments is linked from the site as "Pay Online."

Unit access hours, when customers can reach their own units, are Monday through Friday 7am-7pm, Saturday 8am-5pm, and Sunday 10am-5pm.

Holidays are listed as closed days: New Year's Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The page adds, "We close at 1P.M. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve." The page also states "24 hour access is available!", and the features and sizes pages specify that 24 hour access is available to licensed contractors, at no extra charge according to the Sizes and Prices page. To confirm hours before travelling, or to arrange access outside the posted schedule, call the office at (415) 826-7900 during office hours.

Every unit has drive-up access, and the facility is described as ground level. Access is available 7 days a week, with 24 hour access available for licensed contractors. The page notes easy access to the 280 or 101 freeways, and that parcel receiving is available, with customers asked to contact the office for details. The business calls itself "Home of the 'Sanitized' unit" and states: "All units undergo a special cleaning and disinfecting process that ensures they are free of germs and vermin when you move in." Security measures listed on the page are a personalized security code for each customer to enter the lot, infrared laser security beams throughout the lots to protect against intruders, over 4000 feet of razor wire around the perimeter, and the "Ultra Latch" locking device, which the page says is featured on all single door units and is on most units. Customers can bring their own lock or purchase one from the office. On payment and rental structure, the page describes an automated monthly payment option with major credit and debit cards, a fully refundable security deposit set as a percentage of monthly rent and refunded when you move out, and prorated month to month rent where you only pay for the days you occupy the unit, with a 30 day minimum rental required. The staff are described as friendly, award winning and professional, and the page says "Se Habla Espanol!" The website does not describe climate control, insurance coverage or any list of prohibited items. Questions about coverage, restrictions or specific unit features should go to the office at (415) 826-7900.
