Another reason for climate-controlled storage might be for your own comfort as you visit your storage unit. Some commercial and business storage requires visiting the unit in work attire. Don’t sweat before your meeting in an air-conditioned storage unit!

What’s the difference between ground floor and drive-up storage units?
Ground floor access and drive-up access may sound the same, but they’re actually different. Ground floor access is indoors and units are exposed to fewer elements but require more effort to get storage items indoors.

U-STOR provides both ground floor and drive-up storage unit access. We don’t have any elevators at any of our locations to keep our customers storing as conveniently as possible. Get pricing on your unit now!
