Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of self storage unit you need depends on how you plan to use it and what you plan to store. Long-term storage typically favors climate control, as do items like clothing, bedding, and furniture. If you will load and unload items frequently, a drive-up unit may be more convenient.

Storage facilities, like Temple Star Storage, offer rentable storage space on a month-to-month basis when you need more space. With self storage, you move your belongings in and out and can access your belongings during the facility’s gate hours. When you no longer need the space, you just inform the location and move your belongings out of the storage unit.

There are a bunch of things that can influence this decision. Do you plan to store a lot of heavy items like furniture? Then you may need the convenience of a drive-up storage unit. Are you mostly storing holiday decorations or other sensitive items—such as clothing, electronics, furniture, antiques, books, and musical instruments? Then we would recommend an indoor, climate-controlled unit.

Storage units can be used to store a wide variety of items, from furniture to vehicles. Items prohibited include anything that is illegal, flammable, or combustible, or that will rot.

Insurance is a requirement for any storage unit. If you have homeowners or renter’s insurance, it might extend to your storage unit. We also offer a protection plan for your items. It is recommended that customers utilize our plan even if they are using their homeowners or renter’s policy, as it prevents your insurance premiums from going up in the event of a claim.
