Storage FAQ

If your items are sensitive to heat or humidity, then you should consider choosing a Climate Controlled unit. However, if your items could be left in a garage, then a non-climate controlled unit would be an economical and viable option. Please note that some properties only offer Non-Climate Controlled or the latter, Climate Controlled. Make sure to ask your storage professional about their unit types.

Many Absolute Storage Management managed properties offer short term specials that will help you with temporary storage needs. Some properties also offer generous discounts for long-term storage.

Whether you need an indoor, climate-controlled space or an outdoor unit will depend on what you plan to store. Check out questions 1 through 11 on this page for clarification.

Climate-controlled units are either heated or cooled so that their temperature and humidity can be regulated and maintained. We recommend using these kinds of spaces to store items such as furniture, boxes, clothing, documents, and any other items that are sensitive to heat and moisture. Units without climate control can be compared to a fluctuating garage temperature. These units are not regulated for temperature or humidity, so these factors can fluctuate based on the seasonal weather outside. These rentals are great for cars, boats, machinery, and motorcycles.

Indoor and outdoor units refer to the location of the door that provides access your unit. An Indoor unit has an interior door entry located inside a building. This building may provide climate control unit or it may not. Outdoor units offer exterior access to your belongings, which, again, may be climate controlled or non climate controlled. Outdoor units are also referred to as drive-up accessible (or aisle) units.

Drive-up units are outside storage units that you can drive up to and store your belongings, making unloading and loading most convenient.

Roll-up doors work similarly to a garage door. They have a sliding latch or lock that, when released, allows the door to roll up overhead.
