First-Time Storage Renter’s Guide

Are you tired of constantly searching through clutter in your home or business? A storage unit gets you the space you need to keep your belongings secure without breaking the bank. For first-time storage renters, getting the right information ahead of time can save time and effort down the road and make the initial experience a great one.

Our team at mystorage will guide first-time renters through essential storage information to streamline the rental process.

Types of Storage

The first step in finding a storage unit is exploring the many types of storage available for rent. Understanding which option meets your needs helps you secure the space you need. Explore our variety of storage options below.

Climate-Controlled Storage

One of our popular storage types at mystorage is our climate-controlled storage. These specialized storage units are kept at steady temperatures and provide a stable interior environment regardless of the weather conditions outside. Books, furniture, electronics, and musical instruments are just a few of the many items that benefit from our climate-controlled storage.

Vehicle Storage

If you have an RV, boat, or car that can’t fit in your garage or driveway, your best choice is to rent vehicle storage. There are several indoor and outdoor vehicle parking spaces available throughout several of our storage facilities, keeping your vehicle in a secure place compared to a tight garage or vulnerable driveway.

Commercial Storage

We also offer reliable commercial storage in Virginia. Use a storage unit to organize commercial inventory and office supplies without taking precious time out of your business day. Some of these spaces are contractor storage units that businesses can use to store larger equipment, like building and technician supplies.

Storage Unit Sizes

At each of our storage facilities, you’ll find a variety of small, medium, and large storage units, designed for different needs and purposes. If you plan to store boxes of seasonal decorations or unused kitchen supplies, a small storage unit is your best bet. For storing larger pieces of furniture, a large storage unit will be more suitable.
