Living Abroad Storage FAQs

Yes. Store furniture, clothing, and personal items you plan to use when you return from travel. Month-to-month rentals at Public Storage let you keep your storage unit for as long as you need it and adjust your storage plan as travel plans change.
Use sturdy, uniform boxes with lids and label each side with the contents. Group similar items together, measure large furniture before moving in, and stack heavier boxes on the bottom. Place items you need less often toward the back and leave a clear aisle to access stored items without moving other boxes.
