What Storage Unit Sizes Are There?

Availability of unit sizes varies by location. Typically, storage units come in three categories:

Small storage units (5x5, 5x10, 5x15)- These are big enough to hold a few boxes and smaller furniture pieces, like bookshelves or end tables.

Medium storage units (10x10, 10x15)- These units can store up to two bedrooms' worth of furniture. Mattresses, dressers, and large boxes can usually fit.

Large storage units (10x20, 10x25, 10x30)- These are ideal for storing furniture from a small house or multi-bedroom apartment. Large appliances, sofas, and storage totes can be stored safely.

iStorage Self Storage FAQ

Do I need insurance?

Insurance is a requirement for any storage unit. If you have homeowners or renter’s insurance, it may extend to your storage unit as well. We also offer a protection plan for your items. It is recommended that customers utilize our plan even if they are using their homeowners or renter’s policy, as it prevents your insurance premiums from going up in the event of a claim and pays out prior to insurance claims.

Is there a minimum rental period?

All leases are month-to-month with no long-term commitment required. You can store for as little as one month or continue your storage for as long as you need, even if you’re not sure how long that is at this time.

What documents do I need to reserve a storage unit?

We require a state or government issued ID*, like a driver's license or passport, and a method to pay your first month’s rent and any other fees you may owe. We recommend enrolling in our autopay service using a credit card to ensure easy and convenient payment.

*See checkout process for details.

Is There Anything I Can't Store?

Prohibited items include perishable goods, living things, illegal or illegally obtained items, hazardous or flammable materials, weapons and ammunition, and items that violate local, state, or federal laws.

How can I pay my rent each month for my storage unit?

NSA Storage offers an easy-to-use online payment portal where tenants can set up autopay or make a one-time payment with any major credit or debit card. During office hours, we can process a payment with any major credit or debit cards, contactless payment, check, or money order. Please note that all our locations are cashless except where prohibited by state or local law.

What is the difference between access hours and office hours?

Access hours are the times when our customers can access their units and either load or unload them. Access hours typically have a wider range than office hours. Office hours are the hours our office is open for business. Things that you may need to do during office hours include paying rent– should you opt to pay in person– purchasing additional moving supplies, and transferring or vacating a unit.
