Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Indoor vs. Drive-Up/Outdoor Storage Units?
-
Indoor Storage Units: Indoor units are housed inside a building, offering less exposure to harsh elements. However, this storage type is not to be confused with units that offer climate control. Indoor storage provides protection from extreme temperatures while falling just shy of the stability offered by climate control.
-
Drive-Up Storage Units: Drive-up storage is perfect for those looking for quick, easy access to their items. Drive straight up to your unit, park, unload, and take off (or hang out). Our roll-up doors make accessing your unit a breeze and save space unlike their swinging-door counterparts. While this is often the most convenient method of storage, it offers slightly less protection from the elements than indoor and climate controlled storage. However, Drive-Up is easily the most popular form of storage, mostly for it's quick access and nonetheless great protection from water, pests, dirt, and other unwanted nuisances. Just because it doesn't have the level of temperature control offered by other storage types doesn't mean it's any less secure, clean, and reliable.
