How
To Choose Storage
Whether you choose Access or another provider, here are some things
to look for:
Size
A wide range of sizes helps you get just the size you need. Ask about
in-between sizes. When your needs change, add a room or downsize to
a smaller room. To see what fits in standard sizes, see Sizes
& Packing Tips.
Time
Month-to-month rentals, starting any day of the month, give you storage
for just the time you need it.
Security
Individual door alarms protect best. You select a code that only you
know. Only that code allows alarm-free entry to your room. Barrel shaped
locks (provided by the storage center) add to security they cannot
be cut.
Safety
Storage areas should be brightly lit and have restricted access. Cameras
should be recording activity in critical locations.
Accessibility
Movers charge extra when access is inconvenient. Look for extra wide
driveways, which give trucks plenty of room to make turns. Drive-up
rooms are very accessible. Rooms inside a building give you weather-protected
access. How far are they from an entrance?
Hours
Look for long office hours 7 days a week. Access to inside rooms
when office is closed is not advised. 24 hour access to drive-up rooms
is allowed in some towns and not in others.
Free
Use of Truck
Access provides a free truck for your use when you move in. Call location
for details.

and rolling carts are available at all Access locations.
