Storage type · from $38/mo

Summer storage that ends when the lease does.

A dorm room's worth of space for the months between spring finals and fall move-in — small units, short terms, and a move-out date that doesn't cost you a penalty.

  • Split a unit with roommates
  • Ten days' notice, prorated

How student storage works

Student storage is a small unit — usually a 5×5 or 5×10 — rented for the three or four months between leases. You can rent it online, get a gate code instantly, and hand access to a roommate or a parent.

Because everything is month-to-month, there's no summer contract to sign and no penalty for coming back early. Rent in May, move out in August, pay only for what you used.

Why people choose it

  • 01

    Priced for a summer

    A 5×5 starts at $38 a month, and splitting a 5×10 three ways costs less than a night out.

  • 02

    Roommates get their own codes

    Each person on the unit has a personal gate code, so nobody waits on anybody.

  • 03

    Rent from your phone

    Sign and pay online in about nine minutes — useful during finals week.

  • 04

    No penalty for leaving early

    Ten days' notice and we prorate the rest. Internships change; leases shouldn't punish that.

  • 05

    Climate keeps books usable

    Textbooks, laptops and posters come out of a climate unit in the same shape they went in.

  • 06

    Parents can handle move-out

    Add a parent as an authorized user and they can clear the unit without you flying back.

Is student right for you?

We'd rather rent you the cheaper unit than the wrong one. Here's the honest split.

Yes, if…

  • Your lease ends in May and starts again in September
  • You're studying abroad or interning out of state
  • Three roommates want to split one unit
  • Dorm furniture, a mini fridge and bins need a home
  • You're moving between apartments across town
  • You want your parents to be able to pick it all up

Probably not, if…

  • A full apartment of furniture — household storage sizes fit better
  • A car for the summer — see vehicle storage
  • Storing food, plants or anything perishable
  • You need someone to pack and haul the room for you
Compare with drive-up storage
