Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers you’re looking for regarding the self storage world.

What is garage storage and how does it work?

Renting garage storage is a fantastic way to get your favorite vehicle out of the driveway and into a secure space. Garage storage keeps your vehicle nearby, but out of the way! You can also clear up some much-needed space at home or to hold much needed business items. 

How much does garage storage cost?

Our rates vary between unit sizes and type of storage. For more information about our pricing, check out our rates page.

Please contact us if you have any additional questions about renting a unit.

Are there any items that I am NOT able to store?

Liquids, explosives, flammable liquids, toxic materials, and perishables. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding a specific item.

What types of vehicles can I store?

Most often, people store RVs, boats and trailers, or antique/collectible automobiles. Not every vehicle will fit in every garage space! If you're not sure, contact us and we'll help you find the right spot.

What is the best way to pack a unit?

Larger and more infrequently used items should go in the back of the unit. Remember to keep a walkway in the center of your unit to more easily access items. Always keep items labeled and a list of items stored, even a photo on the outside of each box will allow you to "see" what's inside.

What should I do before storing a vehicle?

Be sure to remove anything that might spoil or rot before you store your vehicle. Empty the fridge or bait well and turn off any electronics. Some renters prefer to clean their vehicle before storage so it's pristine and ready when they need it next.
