Our drive-up storage units come in multiple sizes, making them suitable for everything from a few boxes to the contents of an entire home or business.

Helpful Storage Tips for Drive-Up Units

Because drive-up units are exposed to outdoor temperatures, a little preparation goes a long way. We recommend:

  • Using durable plastic bins instead of cardboard
  • Ensuring items are clean and completely dry before storing
  • Elevating items slightly off the floor when possible
  • Using moisture absorbers for added protection

These simple steps help keep your belongings in great condition throughout their time in storage.
