Whether you’re moving, doing a home renovation, or just trying to get some clutter out of the way, there may come a time when you may need some short-term storage in a pinch. Well never fear, because all your needs can be filled at your local U-Haul storage facility. Or we can even bring the storage to you!
Why Choose U-Haul for Short Term Storage
U-Haul has the most storage coverage in North America, so whether you’re in the heart of NYC or in the suburbs of Lansing, there’s a U-Haul location nearby that can help you with your storage needs!
The best part? You can reserve today with no deposit or admin fees. That means you only have to pay what you owe! And when you store at U-Haul, you know you’re getting a great price for stellar service.
Benefits of U-Haul Short Term Storage
U-Haul storage facilities offer a variety of storage options, from drive-up outdoor units, climate-controlled units, or even portable storage containers. So, no matter what your specific situation calls for, U-Haul is always able to accommodate.
We also offer a variety of storage insurance options to protect your items from unexpected scenarios. But when you store with U-Haul you can rest assured that your belongings are protected by our MAX security systems. Our facilities are lined with cameras and speakers, and we ensure that only customers with prior approval can access the floor your unit is on.
How U-Haul Makes Short Term Storage Easier
At U-Haul, we don’t trap you into any long-term contracts. You can pay month-to-month, but if you’re looking to set it and forget it, you can also set up autopay and store with us as long as you like!
Moving to a new state? We have great news for you! When you book a one-way moving truck rental, we throw in a month of storage on the house. That way, you have a little extra time to unpack and get settled.
If you’re more of the tech-savvy type, you can also skip the line altogether and reserve your unit online. Then, we’ll electronically send you your unit number and passcode and the rest is up to you! No matter what your storage style is, we can match it.
Choosing the Right Size Short-Term Storage Unit
We offer short-term storage units of a variety of sizes, small, medium, and large. We want to help you find the perfect fit! Here’s a short breakdown of what our sizes can store:
Small Storage Units are great for storing those extra items you can’t find a good place for. Think of things like bikes, fishing gear, dorm decorations, or winter clothes.
Medium Storage Units are our most popular size. These units can store the contents of a smaller home or apartment.
Large Storage Units can hold an entire house’s worth of stuff if you pack it properly! We also offer vehicle storage if you need to find a good place to store an RV, car, or ATVs.
Need a little more flexibility? No problem! With our U-Box portable storage containers, you can pack and store your way. We can ship a U-Box container out to you, or you can swing by your local U-Haul and fill it up yourself. From there, you choose where to store it: whether that be with you, at U-Haul, or waiting for you at your new home.
