If I lose my key, can you provide another one?
No, storage facility employees do not have copies of the keys used for the units. If you lose your key, check with the facility for lock cutting fees. They may also be able to sell another lock and key to you.

We recommend that you get insurance for your belongings because the contents of the units are not insured through storage facilities.
What are the prices of the storage spaces? Are prices based on the square footage of the storage space?
Generally the prices of storage units in Raleigh vary based on the size of the storage unit and the location of the unit in the facility. Prices range between 49.0 and 125.0, but representatives can better assist you once they have the details of your storage needs.

Once you move in and feel that you need to move into a smaller or bigger space, storage facilities are happy to accommodate your move. Before renting a space, it is recommended that you speak to a storage facility representative to help you find the best sized unit for your needs.

We also have a size guide that may answer some preliminary questions you may have.

Security is every storage operator's priority. Speak with the storage manager of a facility of your liking in Raleigh to find out what security measures they take to protect your belongings.
Can I rent climate-controlled spaces in Raleigh?
Yes, climate-controlled spaces are available in Raleigh due to the varying weather. Temperatures range from 32.0 to 35.6, which can dramatically affect things in your storage unit. For storing items such as wine, wooden items, electronics, metals, artwork, etc. storage facilities recommend that you rent a climate-controlled unit. For questions and more details, please contact a local facility.
Is there anything unique to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Raleigh?
Some factors to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Raleigh are: weather, peak rush hour times, items that you will be storing, and location within Raleigh.
Do you accept deliveries for customers?
Most storage facilities in Raleigh accept deliveries for their customers so that they don't have to go through the process of moving every time they need something to be placed in their storage units. They will keep your items in the office and will inform you when they arrive so that you can place them in your storage unit at your convenience.
Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?
Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.
Will the company have access to my space?
No, no one in the storage facilities has access to your space unless you specifically ask them or give them the right to do so. For example, you may want them to have access to your unit for things you may want delivered directly to your unit.
Do you sell boxes and moving supplies?
Yes, most storage facilities sell boxes of various sizes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and other items for your packing and moving needs.
What options do I have for payments? What forms of payment do you accept?
Most storage facilities accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Always ask about autopay, it's faster and much more convenient.
What storage space sizes are available?
In Raleigh, there are 58 storage facilities, with a total of 5 storage units. Storage unit sizes generally range from 5' X 5' to 10' X 15'. Call one of your local facilities to have a representative find what size unit is best for you.

Do you have advice on how to pack my storage space?
