Storage Process: How It Works

Renting storage as part of your moving services is relatively simple if you plan ahead. You’ll often sign a monthly rental agreement and reserve the space necessary. In some cases, that might be a 25-square-foot storage unit that can hold the contents of a small room. In others, you’ll need a 300-square-foot unit for all your belongings.

Many storage facilities allow for regular access to your belongings when you need it — and allow for easy cancellation and move-out when you don’t. Need help arranging a storage unit for your upcoming move? We’ll include it in your customized quote.

Common Questions About Our Packing and Storage Services

Do movers pack your clothes for you?

Many moving companies offer packing services that include clothing. In most cases, movers will pack items into wardrobe boxes for added convenience. Additional costs can apply, so confirm those details and pricing in advance.

How far in advance to pack depends on many factors, like the size of your home and your belongings. Two to four weeks in advance is a good ballpark figure. Two weeks might suffice for a small apartment, but a large home may need even longer. Planning helps reduce packing mistakes.

Many storage companies offer packing supplies — including boxes — for purchase but are often not included in the rental price. Availability and costs can vary, so check with your chosen facility or mover beforehand.
