Do your self storage locations provide inside and/or outside storage for RV/ Boat/Car/ motorcycle storage/parking?

Some of our self storage locations offer inside and/or outside storage where you can store boats, RVs, trucks, trailers, motorcycles and cars. But this is not a standard offering at all locations. Find the closest location to see if the service is available. The vehicle must be drivable and we require a copy of your insurance and the registration or title.

Do your self storage locations have a referral program?

Absolutely! We will give you a 25% rental credit or a $25 gift card per referral, with no limit to rental credits or gift cards. We Love Referrals!

Do your self storage locations offer any discounts or run specials?

Our pricing is very competitive and specials are not always necessary to offer you the best deal available. However, based on availability, we do offer rent specials, move in discounts and we always offer one free month if rent is paid one year in advance.

Why do I need insurance?

While your items are in storage they are not covered by the storage location for loss or damage. We strongly recommend that all customers take advantage of the insurance offered at the location. Do not assume any of your existing policies will automatically cover your items in storage. Check with your insurance agent regarding your homeowners or renters policy coverage.

Are there moving trucks available to use?

All of our facilities (except Powers Drive) offer a free truck for use during move-in. Once you have identified a specific facility, we recommend contacting the facility directly to arrange the use of our free truck. Contact information is available online once you select a facility.
