How can I move my possessions to the storage center?

Tuck-lt-Away will provide you with a truck, a driver, and 2 hours of FREE moving. That could save you up to $300. Furthermore, if you need additional help/time, we offer reasonable rates for the truck, the driver, and the manpower. And then when it is time to move out, remember to reserve our truck and movers to help you.

How secure are your buildings? Are my goods safe?

All rooms are constructed from galvanized steel metal. Our storage centers are outfitted with some or all of the following security and safety features: television monitoring, intercom systems, alarm systems, strict tenant access controls, and daily management surveillance. Best of all, your belongings are stored in your own private storage room. You keep the key and no one else can gain access except you and those who you authorize.

Do you provide parking?

Yes, the majority of our storage centers allow you to drive your cars right into the building at no charge.

How long can I store my possessions for? Is there a time limit?

Customers sign a month-to-month lease agreement, thus providing you with maximum flexibility. You can stay for as long as you want. In fact, many of our customers have been with us since we first opened our doors in 1980.

I'm a student and I need to store my stuff, can you help me?

Yes, Tuck-lt-Away offers programs that cater to your needs when you are away for a summer or a semester.
