Review: Had to move quickly bc toxic black mold caused from Hurricane Milton & water damage was so toxic it made me & my cats very sick. Two of my cats died from black mold poisoning. Rented me a 10x20 for less than normal price bc I was in a bed situation. Thank you. Г°ЕёЛњЕЅ

Review: I didn't get to utilize their facility. However as soon as they realized they forget to go online and mark that they were completely full they immediately called me . They apologized and were courteous and let me know I'd need to make other arrangements. I was very appreciative as I was driving fifteen hours to get there.

Review: After reserving my unit I was told there were no more units left of that size, and I was upgraded for no extra charge to a unit that was twice as big! I was also given a 10% off discount for paying my rent costs upfront! All around very convenient and I would recommend them to anyone!

Review: Clean units at the cheapest price I could find in Gainesville. The location is a little farther from campus than other places but definitely worth it. It is very convenient that all units are on the ground floor and you can drive up to each unit.

What is the height of the storage units?

Storage units are approximately 8 feet high.

Do I need to rent a climate controlled unit?

If you have delicate items such as musical instruments, computers, pictures, or antique wood furniture, it is recommended to select a climate-controlled unit. Climate-controlled storage units protect against rust, corrosion, mold, cracking, and warping.

What’s the difference between an indoor and an outdoor unit?
An outdoor storage unit has direct access and is usually drive-up accessible. An indoor unit is located within a building.

What items can't be put in a storage unit?

Most storage facilities will not let you store firearms, perishable items, liquids, illegal drugs, flammable and hazardous materials, live animals, or plants.

Are my items insured while being in a storage unit?

You are responsible for the items you store. The storage facility's insurance protects the location that houses the storage units, not the contents of individual units. If your homeowner's insurance doesn't cover your items, the facility manager can usually help you sign up with an insurance provider.

Can I use my renters insurance for a storage unit?

Anything your renter's insurance policy covers under usual conditions will be covered in your storage unit. Usually, renter's insurance will cover items in a unit up to 10% of your policy limits, but it does not include natural disasters. However, there may be exceptions to this, so check with your insurance company to see if you're covered.

What do I need to bring with me when to rent a unit?

You will need a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) to complete your storage unit rental agreement.

Can I access my unit anytime I want?

Most storage locations are open 365 days a year, but access hours may vary. During access hours, usually between 6 am and 10 pm seven days a week, you can access your unit using your individual gate code. During office hours, company employees are available to answer questions and provide on-site support.

How long can I rent a unit?

Most rental contracts are month-to-month agreements billed in one-month increments. No long-term lease is required unless the customer requests it.
