I rented online from my home in Texas. Then when I arrived several days later, Cindy helped me with signing my lease and accessing my unit. The next day, Cindy and Rene were sympathetic when Home Depot just left my delivery in the driveway - I had to move the delivery to my unit myself. They even gave me some water. Great experience. ...

Southern Self Storage was great up until moveout day. I have probably had over 15 storage units rented throughout my time in the military and after in my civilian life, and never had a storage take almost an entire months rent and not allow me to finish the month or pro-rate the final payment. I had automatic payments set up with Southern/NSA which thought I was paying for the next calendar months rent. Upon move out, after just paying for the next month several days prior, and before the next month started, I went into the office and told the lady at the desk I was moved out. She asked if I would like a receipt or have it emailed. I said email is fine, and she said that's it you're all set. Upon getting to my email later I realized I was not getting a pro-rated return (unlike every other storage I have ever had). Upon emailing them, I was told by Rene they don't pro-rate (I'm sure when I was checking out with them they saw I just made a payment - would have been nice to mention that to me then). So I asked since they took my money would I still have access for the next month until the date I was paid through. Their response "Once your moved out we rent unit to someone else." As a property manager myself, this would never fly and is really terrible customer service. I take responsibility for not being aware that they don't pro-rate and not giving notice. I have an accounting person pays this bill for me, so I don't look at it and I honestly thought I was paying for the next month and hurried to move out before the first so I wasn't charged for the next month. That being said, my issue is not with their policy, it's with their poor customer service. How could they have resolved this: 1. Upon move out - tell me "hey you know our company doesn't pro-rate, I see you just paid, are you sure you don't want to keep the unit another month?" 2. Just pro-rate some part of the payment 3. If they have a problem with either of the first two suggestions and did already rent the unit out, offer to let me use another unit through the period I paid for. 4. Many more options available to include just being polite ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 300 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items.
