What is the minimum amount of time to rent a storage unit?

U-Haul Centers

U-Haul centers do not require a storage contract. This means that you can rent a storage unit for any amount of time that you need it. There is no minimum amount of time to rent a storage unit. However, to get your money’s worth, plan to store for a minimum of 30 days and in 30-day increments. Storage rates are not prorated, so if you begin a month and only store for 5 days, you will not get the 25 days of unused storage days refunded; you will be paying for all 30 days.

Independent Dealers

Independent storage dealers run their business on their own terms. They may require a contract, a minimum rental time, etc. Before confirming a reservation at an independent dealer, you will want to ask them to verify their terms and conditions.
