Drive-Up Storage

If you’re running out of room to store your belongings, one of the first places you may turn to is your garage. Over time, however, garage clutter can pile up and become just as much of a hassle as keeping everything inside your house. A drive-up storage unit can serve as your garage away from home, helping you stay organized.

Why Use Drive-Up Storage?

The biggest perk of drive-up storage is its convenience. Instead of having to pivot your large furniture or bulky equipment through narrow hallways, you can pull your vehicle right up to your unit and unload with ease.

The same convenience applies when retrieving your items, too. Because it’s so quick and simple to access, many businesses use drive-up storage to house their equipment and seasonal inventory.

Large Storage Units With Accessible Entryways

Drive-up storage units are typically much larger than indoor units. Many offer adequate space with some having enough to hold the contents of a four- or five-bedroom home, making them a great option for larger moves. Most moving trucks can also easily navigate the wide driveways, allowing you to unload and transfer everything directly into your storage unit with minimal hassle.
