Frequently Asked Questions

What size Des Plaines storage unit do I need?

There are several factors to consider when deciding what size storage space you will need. First, what is it that you will be storing? Is it just boxes, or will you need to store the entire contents of your home or apartment? If it is just a few boxes, you may only need a locker-sized storage unit.

Second, you need to consider how you will use the unit. Will you need to visit the storage unit often to retrieve things, or will you place the items in storage and not go back again until you are ready to remove your things? If you will be visiting often, you’ll want to leave an aisle so you can get to the items you need to get to. If you don’t plan on going into the unit very often, then you can pack your items tighter and maximize your space.

Finally, will you be storing furniture and clothing, or will it be the tools you need for your job? Furniture storage, clothing, antiques, paper items, and household goods should always be stored in a temperature-controlled environment.

The vehicle height cannot exceed 6.5 feet, as the door openings are approximately 6.5-feet high.

Access to this area is computer-controlled, which limits entry to only our customers who have rented spaces in this area.

Why is a climate-controlled storage unit in Illinois important?

All the storage units inside our Des Plaines facility are air-conditioned. They are designed to store your climate-sensitive items, such as documents, leather goods (like furniture or clothing), antique wooden objects, family photos, or sensitive electronics. Weather fluctuations outdoors will not affect your items, as the temperature inside the building is controlled.

What is the minimum number of months I can rent?

Generally, there is no minimum length of stay. Rental agreements are month-to-month, so there’s no commitment to stay longer than you need to.

Do I need a reservation, or can I just walk in and rent a space?

Yes, customers can just walk in and rent a storage space at our Des Plaines facility, although it is always good to call ahead to make sure the storage unit you need is available.

Do your Des Plaines storage units have electrical outlets?
