Frequently Asked Questions About Student Storage Units

How long can I rent a student storage unit?

Our month-to-month rental options are perfect for short-term or semester-long needs. You’re never locked into a long-term contract.

Is climate-controlled storage necessary for student items?

If you're storing electronics, books, clothing, or anything sensitive to heat and humidity, climate-controlled storage is highly recommended.

Can I access my storage unit at any time?

Most of our Storage Star facilities offer extended access hours from 6 AM to 10 PM, so you can visit your unit when it’s convenient for your class or work schedule.

How much does student storage cost?

Pricing depends on unit size and location, but we work hard to keep it affordable. Ask about special student discounts or promotions in your area.

Can I rent a student storage unit for summer break?

Yes! With our month-to-month leases, you are not locked into a long-term commitment. You can rent a cheap storage unit for the summer months and store all of your dorm items, including boxes, small appliances, desk furniture, electronics, and decorations, until next semester.

What size storage unit is best for college students?

If you are storing the contents of a dorm room, we recommend a small storage unit, such as a 5x10 or 5x15. These walk-in closet-sized storage units are great for storing boxes, clothing, desk furniture, electronics, bedding, books, and other school supplies. If you're renting an off-campus apartment and need to store larger furniture, a bike, a television, or your roommate's belongings, we recommend a medium-sized storage unit, such as a 10x10 or 10x15.

Can I store my vehicle between semesters at Storage Star?

Yes! Many Storage Star locations offer indoor vehicle storage and outdoor car parking spaces. Like our storage units, our vehicle storage rentals are month-to-month, meaning you can store your vehicle for how long you need.

How early before the semester ends can I reserve a storage unit?

At Storage Star, you can reserve your storage unit 14 days before you move in, but it's still best to plan before that! You will need extra time to locate a storage unit near you and box up all of your belongings. If you have questions about a specific move-in date, call the Storage Star location nearest you!
