Storage Units with Drive Up Access

Faster Loading and Unloading

Drive-up access storage units are designed to make loading and unloading easier. Customers can pull directly up to the unit, which can help reduce the time spent moving items.

 

Less Lifting and Carrying

Being short on space doesn’t mean you have to part with the things you want to keep. Conveniently store items nearby and access them whenever you need them.

Convenient for Frequent Visits

This layout is especially helpful for frequent visits, larger items, or short-term projects where time and convenience matter.

 

Ground-level Access

A drive-up storage unit is located on the ground level and allows direct vehicle access to the unit door. No elevators or interior hallways required.

How To Rent a Storage Unit

STORAGE WITH DRIVE-UP ACCESS

What Drive-Up Access Means

Drive-up access storage units are located at ground level and allow customers to pull a vehicle directly up to the unit door. This layout can make loading and unloading more straightforward compared with units accessed through interior hallways.

Direct Vehicle Access

With drive-up access, items can be moved directly between a vehicle and the storage unit. This setup may help reduce carrying distance and streamline move-ins, move-outs, and regular visits.

Helpful for Large or Bulky Items

Drive-up units are often chosen when storing larger or heavier items. Being able to park near the unit door can make handling furniture, boxes, or equipment more manageable.

Helpful for Vehicle-Based Moves

Drive-up access may be useful when loading or unloading directly from a car, truck, or van. Being able to park next to the unit can help simplify vehicle-based moves and reduce back-and-forth across the property.

For Many Common Storage Uses

Drive-up access works well for storing furniture, household items, business supplies, seasonal goods, and more. At select locations, some drive-up units may be large enough to accommodate vehicle storage. Unit sizes, door dimensions, and vehicle eligibility vary by location.

Drive-Up Access Availability

Not all Public Storage locations offer drive-up units, and features can vary by property. Unit size, layout, access hours, and pricing depend on location and availability. To see drive-up options near you, check your local Public Storage property for current availability and unit details.
