What is self storage and how does it work?
Self storage gives you a private, secure unit to keep belongings you don't have room for at home or at your business. You rent month-to-month, keep your own key or code, and access your unit whenever you need it. Both of our Baker locations offer clean, secure, affordable storage.
How much does self storage cost?
Rates depend on the unit size and type (drive-up, climate-controlled, or parking). You can see current pricing and rent online any time on our locations page, or contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.
Are there any items that I am NOT able to store?
Liquids, explosives, flammable liquids, toxic materials, and perishables. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding a specific item.
What is the best way to pack a unit?
Larger and more infrequently used items should go in the back of the unit. Remember to keep a walkway in the center of your unit to more easily access items. Always keep items labeled and a list of items stored, even a photo on the outside of each box will allow you to "see" what's inside.
