Drive-Up Access Storage Units Drive-up access storage units, provide convenient accessibility for loading and unloading directly from your vehicle. These units are typically located outdoors and feature wide driveways or corridors, allowing you to drive right up to your unit. Here are some advantages of drive-up access storage units: affordability and unbeatable convenience for loading and unloading. But, since these units are outdoors, you and your stored items will be subject to the weather.. It would be similar to storing in your unheated garage or unfinished basement. So keep that in mind! Climate-Controlled Storage Units

Climate-controlled storage units are designed to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level within the storage space. These units are typically housed within a building with hallways and equipped with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to regulate the environment. Some key benefits of climate-controlled storage units are controlled environment from extreme hot or cold and being out of the elements. However, due to the costs of heating and cooling, climate controlled units typically cost a little more and you usually can't drive-up to them since they're located indoors. Also keep in mind that while the unit's temperature is more regulated, they are NOT considered livable conditions.
