Climate Control

The facility will maintain a safe temperature and humidity level for your unit. If you’re storing something temperature-sensitive or particularly valuable, climate control is a good idea.

Drive-Up Access

You can pull your moving truck or vehicle right up to the unit. This is rarely available for indoor units.

Truck Rental

Some facilities will let you rent their moving truck for free. Specific terms and restrictions will vary by facility (e.g., mileage limits, time limits, insurance requirements, refueling protocol).

24-Hour Access

You have access to your unit at any time. Restrictions may apply—for example, your facility could require manager approval. Some facilities only allow business customers 24-hour access or may charge additional fees.

Locks

Most facilities require you to bring your own lock, although many will sell locks onsite. We recommend closed-shackle padlocks, disc locks or cylinder locks. Standard or combination padlocks are easily picked and not recommended.

Security

Video camera surveillance, electronic gates and “fenced + lighted” can all increase the security of the facility. A manager who lives onsite means that someone will be on the premises during non-business hours.
