Boat Storage

The only document you need to bring in with you is a government-issued ID like your driver’s license or passport. If you want to present your college degree or Starbucks rewards card, too, go ahead, but be prepared for a confused look from the self-storage facility manager.

If you’ve reserved a unit online with our handy-dandy self-storage finder, bring in a copy of your confirmation page. This will make the transaction 45 seconds faster for those who are in a rush to get to their meditation class.

And if you’ve got home owner’s or renter’s insurance, then your velvet artwork collection, unused exercise equipment, and any other personal belongings you put into your storage unit may be covered. Check with your insurance provider, and then bring in a copy of your insurance policy. If you don’t have this kind of insurance coverage, don’t fret—you can usually purchase it from the storage facility.

At most self storage facilities your rent is considered late anywhere between 5 and 30 days after the first of the month. Once you default on your rent, the storage facility manager will lock you out of your storage unit, call you, and send you a letter. If you pay up, you’ll get your unit back.

If you don’t pay up, you can kiss your Virgin Mary-embossed grilled cheese sandwich, designer fanny packs, and 8-track player goodbye because the storage facility can, by law, auction off your stored items. If you’re lucky, you might see your stuff on an episode of Storage Wars.

Only if you forget your key, show up at the wrong storage facility or it’s the middle of the night.
