To rent a unit, call or text (215) 888-0468. We’ll answer your questions, check what’s open and set up a tour. Then you pay a deposit equal to one month’s rent, bring your own lock and move in. Monthly rent is paid through our online portal.
Renting a storage unit, step by step
1. Call or text (215) 888-0468
Tell us what you’re storing and when you need the space. Texting works well if you’re at work: send a list or a few photos and we’ll suggest a size.
2. Take a quick tour
See the unit, the gate and the lot before you commit. It takes a few minutes, and it means no surprises on move-in day.
3. Sign up and pay your deposit
The deposit equals one month’s rent: $199 for a 17 × 10 or $224 for a 10 × 20. Your monthly rate is locked for the next 12 months.
4. Get your gate code and bring your lock
Your gate code lets you in 24/7. Units have steel doors, and you bring your own lock. A disc lock or a closed-shackle padlock is a good choice because there’s less exposed shackle to cut.
5. Pull up and move in
Every unit is drive-up and at ground level, so you can bring your vehicle close to the door and carry straight in. No stairs, no elevators, no carts down a hallway.
6. Pay rent online
We set you up on our online portal for monthly rent, so you don’t have to mail checks or stop by.
Moving day checklist
- Your lock (and a spare key somewhere safe)
- Furniture pads or old blankets to protect wood and upholstery
- A hand truck or dolly for appliances and heavy boxes
- Pallets or plastic sheeting to keep boxes off the bare concrete
- A marker for labeling boxes on two sides, so you can read them from the aisle
Why rent here instead of a big chain?
You deal with a local, family-owned business instead of a call center. Your price is locked for a year instead of rising after a promotion. And the gate is open to you 24/7. See how we compare on price, check which size you need, or get directions to 413 Somerset Street.
