If you aren&#8217;t lucky enough to get a unit with 24-hour access, you may want to consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/UBox\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ubox&amp;utm_content=20230401-portableselfstoragewith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U-Box<\/a> container to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Tips\/U-Box\/Long-Term-Storage-With-U-Box-Containers-27925\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">store<\/a> your items.

What we&#8217;ve described is a U-Box container! Additionally, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Blog\/2015\/11\/22\/how-much-can-you-fit-in-a-u-box-container\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fit<\/a> a studio-worth of items in it&#8217;s 95&#8243; x 56&#8243; x 83.5&#8243; dimensions. Much like a storage unit, you&#8217;ll pay monthly for usage. Unlike a storage unit, a U-Box container can be shipped to your home, or stored at a U-Haul location, overstate, and even overseas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U-Box\u00ae Move &amp; Store: U-Box 101\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KLSzmohehsc?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">U-Box Containers For More Than Self-Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you try a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/UBox\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ubox&amp;utm_content=20230401-portableselfstoragewith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U-Box<\/a> container for storage purposes- you&#8217;ll see how easy they can make your life!
