Fortress Storage: Self Storage FAQ

At Fortress Storage, our goal is to make renting self storage as simple and stress-free as possible. We know that questions often come up along the way—especially if this is your first time renting a storage unit. To help, we’ve gathered answers to the most frequently asked questions about our rental process, payment options, and facility features.

Does renting storage units require rental protection?

Yes, we do require rental protection when you are renting a storage unit. You can provide proof of your own protection plan as you are checking out, or you can purchase one of our protection plans. We offer a few different options, so you are able to choose the best for your situation. Ask our storage experts which plan would be best for you.

Are locks provided/sold on site?

Yes, we sell a wide selection of storage supplies—including locks—in our office. Choose from packing and moving supplies such as box cutters, packing tape, furniture covers and more at our Fortress Storage location..

From here, click on the storage unit in your account that you wish to pay the bill for. If you prefer not to have to log in, you can also continue as a guest.

No, currently our storage facility does not offer any sort of moving service. However, we list our Neighborhood Friends in store at our facility. Our neighborhood friends board is the perfect resource for finding reliable businesses to help you. Our list of friends also shows discounts they offer our customers.

Can I live or sleep in a storage unit?

No. Not only is it illegal to inhabit a storage unit—for both humans and animals—but it is extremely unsafe. Storage unit doors lock from the outside and do not have running water to support a residence.

What storage unit size do I need?

At Fortress Storage, we offer a variety of storage unit sizes to meet any renter’s needs. Depending on the amount of items you are looking to store, how long you are looking to store, and what you are trying to store, different storage unit sizes might serve you better. Our online storage calculator can give you a storage unit size recommendation based on the objects you enter. Simply input any items you plan on placing in your storage unit, and this convenient calculator will provide you with an estimate as to how much storage space you will need. Use this estimate as a reference to selecting your correct storage unit. 

When I rent online, can I access my storage unit right away?

Yes. When you rent a storage unit through our online storage rentals, you are able to access your storage unit immediately once you receive your confirmation email. The online rental process lets you choose your storage unit and pay for it within minutes. Once the transaction is completed, you can move into your storage unit right away.
