What To Know Before Renting Self Storage

All units at Century Storage are leased out on a month-to-month basis, giving you the freedom to store for as long as you need. When it’s time to leave, all we require is a 15-day move-out notice.
Reasons To Rent Self Storage
People turn to self storage for a variety of reasons, and every one of them matters. Whether you’re managing a major life event or simply need to create a little more breathing room, Century Storage provides secure, flexible solutions that can be tailored to fit your needs. Keep reading to learn about a few of the main reasons to rent self storage.
Personal Storage
Life moves fast, and you don’t always have enough space to keep up. If you’re relocating, downsizing, renovating, or simply decluttering, our personal storage units provide a secure and reliable place for your belongings. Choose from one of our climate controlled storage units, designed to shield sensitive belongings, or our drive-up storage units that make loading heavy items effortless.
Business Storage
Your company needs space to grow, and Century Storage can provide it. Our business storage units cater to a range of commercial needs, from organizing equipment and inventory to storing documents in secure storage. Month-to-month leases make it easy to scale up or down, and with features like gated access control, you’ll have peace of mind for your assets.
Vehicle Storage
Do you need space for a car, boat, RV, or other vehicle? We offer secure vehicle storage units with wide driving aisles, perimeter fencing control, and 24/7 security cameras. Whether you’re parking your ride through the winter or all year, it will be parked in a secure and accessible spot for the next time you need it.
Finding the Right Unit Size
Having the right-sized unit can make all the difference. Our self storage units typically range from 5×5 mini storage units, perfect for smaller needs, to large 10×30 spaces that can fit the contents of a multi-bedroom home.
