Renting a storage unit can feel overwhelming when you’re faced with a list of sizes, amenities and jargon. Whether you’re clearing space in your garage or storing business inventory, choosing the correct unit from the start saves time and money.
Drive-up units. These units let you park your car or truck directly at the door. They are ideal for large furniture, appliances or frequent visits. Drive-up access eliminates the need to carry heavy items down hallways or elevators.
Climate-controlled units. These indoor units maintain consistent temperature and humidity, protecting sensitive belongings such as wood furniture, electronics, documents and musical instruments. Climate control guards against extreme temperature swings and humidity that can cause warping or mold.
Outdoor/parking spaces. Perfect for RVs, boats, trailers and vehicles. These spaces offer convenient access and are designed to handle large or wheeled items.
Take inventory. List everything you plan to store. Include dimensions for large items like couches, beds or appliances.
Use size guides. Storage facilities provide size charts (e.g., 5×5 ft for small closets, 10×15 ft for three rooms) to estimate how much can fit. When in doubt, visit the facility to see units in person.
Allow for growth. If you expect to add items over time—holiday décor, business inventory—choose a slightly larger unit.
Consider access frequency. If you need to access items regularly, leave aisle space and avoid over-packing. A slightly larger drive-up unit may be worth the cost for convenience.
