Vehicle Owners

Store cars, motorcycles, or recreational vehicles, such as ATVs and jet skis, in an enclosed, garage-style unit. It’s a great option if your HOA has restrictions or you lack garage space at home.

College Students

Is Drive-Up Storage Right for You

Drive-up storage is best for customers who value convenience and accessibility. If you need to visit your unit regularly or plan to store large, heavy items that could be kept in a garage, it’s a smart and budget-friendly choice. However, if you’re storing temperature-sensitive items, such as electronics, fine art, or antique furniture, consider an indoor storage unit or a climate-controlled unit instead.
