Frequently Asked Questions

Renting a storage unit is a great solution for clearing up some much-needed space at home or for holding onto much-needed business items. All of our storage facilities offer clean, secure storage solutions at affordable prices.

Interior access units mean that a tenant must enter a building through a door and move belongings through hallway areas and doors to place items into their storage unit. We provide platform trucks (carts) in these locations. Interior access units may also be temperature or humidity-controlled.

Exterior access (drive-up) units are accessible from outside; a tenant can drive a vehicle right up to the door of the unit.

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

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

We DO NOT allow 24-hour access to storage facilities, but we have convenient access hours to facilities 7 days a week for your storage needs. The website shows the access hours for each location.

While we DO NOT provide rental trucks, moving or receiving services in ourself-storage facilities. We can recommend a local moving company for your needs. Please contact our facility manager for information.

We do offer car, quad, or motorcycle storage in the units of our drive-up facilities (Scranton or Mid-Valley locations). The Mid-Valley facility also offers outdoor parking for cars, trucks, boats, and RVs.

Our indoor storage facilities in Kingston and Blakely (Peckville) cannot accommodate vehicles in storage units, and there is no outdoor parking available for vehicles in those locations.

Be sure to remove anything that might spoil or rot before you store your vehicle 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. 

Make sure that your vehicle is fully registered, insured, and in running condition!
