So you’ve realized you’re in need of some extra space around your home — you’ve come to the right place! Public Storage has many different types of storage in sizes designed to fit your needs. Once you’ve decided it’s time to get a storage space of your own, it’s easy to make a reservation to hold your space.
Step 1: Gather Your Information
Public Storage requires a bit of information about you in order to reserve a self storage unit from us. When you’re preparing to make your reservation — whether in person, over the phone or online — you’ll need to have a few things handy.
Be prepared to give us your full name, email address and your preferred telephone number to reserve your storage unit. No credit card is required to make a reservation.
Step 2: Pick a Reservation Method
To make your storage experience easy, we offer a variety of ways to reserve your storage space:
- Online Storage Reservations – Your online reservation can be completed by using our handy Find a Unit search feature. Once you’ve found the unit that fits your needs, click the green “Continue” button to proceed to hold your unit.
- In-Person Transactions – If you prefer to see the spaces and talk to our staff, you can stop by any Public Storage location to reserve your unit in person.
- Customer Service – You can always call us at 800-688-8057 to speak to a reservation specialist. Charges may apply.
Step 3: Choose a Move-In Date
To give you time to pack and get ready, you can make a reservation a few weeks before your actual move-in date.* Once you've completed your rental agreement, you're free to start moving in on or after the date you selected! To make sure your move-in day goes smoothly, don’t forget to read our guide to moving into your Public Storage unit.
*Reservation length can vary by location.
