I rented from Off Site Storage for over two years before I moved out of state. Not only were they so easy to work with, they helped my daughter transition out of my storage unit we shared into another close by. I recommend them to everyone!! Very clean units and my stuff was very well protected. Unloading and loading was a breeze.“

Access from 6am to 10pm makes storage very convenient when you need to get something. Very clean and the staff is friendly and willing to help when needs arrive. They are only a call away and if something is not right, they fix it right away. Security is important to them too. Thanks Offsite Self Storage for all that you do. Here are some pictures of a 2nd 10x30 they made available for us to rent for a short time. Tall ceilings that tapers down at the back. Roll up door in the front.“

Nothing but a great experience with this company. The site is clean and new. They are under new management and have a full staff available during business hours. They take care with any concerns that came up. Decent and competitive prices. Also have discounts available to military and first responders. They are willing to work with you on payments and rentals. I would recommend!Storage Basics Overview
Finding a storage unit can be an overwhelming task, especially if you aren't familiar with all of the options and features available. It's best to assess all of your storage needs before you even search for a local storage facility.
Consider how long you might need the storage unit. Many facilities offer discounts for long-term storage, but some may also have specials for temporary rentals.
Estimate how much space you will require. Save money by only renting the space you need. Feel free to use the self storage calculator to help you. Many facilities will store larger items including cars, camper and other motorized vehicles.
How often will you need to access the unit? Some facilities are accessible 24/7 and may even have drive-up access. Hours of operations range from facility to facility and should be taken into consideration depending on your needs.
Are any of the items you plan to store sensitive to temperature or humidity? If so, you will most likely need a climate-controlled storage unit. Typically the following items need to be stored indoors with some type of climate-control: leathers, furs, clothing, paintings, film, photographs, furniture, antiques, musical instruments, wine, paper, software, DVDs, CDs and electronics.
All storage facilities should have secure units, but if you require additional security for your possessions ask the facility if they have any of the following: fencing, surveillance cameras, motion lights, alarms, guards or a police presence.
You may also want to consider mobile storage for your items. If you decide to use mobile storage, a unit will be brought to you and removed after you have packed it. The unit will be stored at the facility or can be shipped to another location. The cost and features of mobile storage are comparable to self-storage but if you require regular access to your belongings, it may not be the best option for your needs.
