College Storage Tips

  1. Use small boxes for books. Putting too much weight will make it difficult to carry and save you the headache of broken boxes and your books falling through the bottom of the box.
  2. Our property is gated, fenced, and secured by 24 hour video recording cameras, so You can relax knowing your belongings are in a safe location.
  3. Set up automatic payments so you do not forget to pay the bill over summer. You can also pay for the storage unit for the whole summer up front.
  4. Storing for a few months is simple with our month to month leases. We do not require any commitment for long term storage.
  5. We can be your one stop shop for storage space and moving supplies. Rent your storage unit with our on site store manager and then pick up all your moving supplies in our office.
