Renting a Storage Unit
What storage unit size should I rent?
The best way to choose your storage unit is to explore our unit size guide. Our storage facilities offer a variety of small, medium, and large storage units just for you, but the unit you choose depends on factors like:
- How many belongings you plan to store
- The size of the belongings you plan to store
- How often you think you’ll visit your storage unit
Our 5’ x 5’ storage unit size, for example, is perfect for storing holiday decorations and seasonal clothing, while a larger space, like our 10’ x 30’ storage unit, is suited for packing all the belongings of your house for a move.
What are climate-controlled storage units?
Climate-controlled storage units offer an extra layer of confidence for belongings that are sensitive to extreme temperatures. No matter the season, climate-controlled storage units provide a stable storage environment to shield your stored items from extreme heat and cold.
Without climate control, sensitive belongings like vinyl records, wooden furniture, and electronics can experience temperature-related damage like warping, cracking, melting, and more.
Can I change my storage unit if I want more or less space?
If you feel a different unit suits your evolving storage needs, no problem! With Hello Space+, you can enjoy month-to-month leasing to keep your storage experience flexible. If you find you have different space needs at the end of the month, you can seamlessly switch up your unit size based on availability. Keep in mind that prices vary by which location you rent from and the unit size you switch to.
Do you offer vehicle storage?
Yes! Look no further than storage facilities managed by Hello Space+ for your vehicle storage needs. We have several locations that offer vehicle storage solutions for your car, boat, and RV. Find a location near you and see what vehicle storage solutions are available in your area.

What are some packing tips before moving my things into storage?
You can never be too prepared for self storage! One of our favorite packing tips is creating an inventory of everything you plan to store in your unit. From grouping items by category or writing them down alphabetically and labeling the boxes you pack them in, an inventory list helps you organize your storage unit.
We also recommend buying a variety of moving box sizes and plenty of packing tape–you don’t want to run out of moving supplies. You should also grab packing paper, Bubble Wrap, and furniture covers as needed to safeguard your belongings.
Other packing tips to keep in mind for your self storage journey include:

- Moving your heaviest items into your unit first
- Keeping frequently used items near the door of your storage unit
