Benefits of U Storage Drive Up Units

Easy loading and unloading

Pull your truck or trailer right up to the door and unload straight into the unit. No hallways, no elevators, no wrestling a couch onto a cart.

More affordable than climate control

Drive up units typically rent for less than a climate controlled unit of the same size.

Free 24/7 access

Get to your unit whenever you need it, day or night, at no extra charge. Plenty of storage operators bill extra for after-hours access. We don't.

Monitored by security cameras

Our facilities are covered by security cameras around the clock, so there's a record of everything happening on the property.

One year price lock

The rate you reserve at is the rate you pay for a full year — no admin fee at signing and no surprise increase three months in.

A convenient place to put things

Drive up units are a natural fit mid-move, when you're clearing out a house to sell it, or when you just need the garage back.

Do Drive Up Units Work For What You're Storing?

Not everything needs climate control, and not everything survives without it. Here's a quick way to sort what you're storing.

Fine in a Drive Up Unit

Built to handle the outdoors already, and easier to load when you can back right up to the door.

  • Lawn and garden equipment Mowers, trimmers, spreaders, and bags of soil.
  • Hand and power tools Toolboxes, ladders, saws, and workbenches.
  • Seasonal decorations Lights, inflatables, wreaths, and yard displays.
  • Sports and recreation gear Bikes, golf clubs, and off-season equipment.
  • Totes and household overflow Sealed plastic bins and anything you just need out of the garage.
  • Job site tools and materials Contractor equipment and building supplies between jobs.

Worth Climate Control

Natural materials, electronics, and anything expensive or impossible to replace.

  • Wood and antique furniture Swells, warps, and cracks as moisture moves through the grain.
  • Mattresses and upholstery Padding holds damp air, and mildew is permanent once it sets in.
  • Electronics and appliances Condensation collects inside and heat shortens their life.
  • Photos, documents, and artwork Paper curls and fades, canvas stretches, records and film degrade.
  • Clothing, leather, and textiles Leather dries and cracks, fabric picks up musty odors.
  • Business inventory and records Product samples, paper files, and anything you can't open ruined.

Drive Up Units FAQ's

  • What is a drive up storage unit?

    A ground-floor unit with its own exterior roll-up door that opens onto the drive. You park right at the door and move things straight from your vehicle into the unit — no hallways, elevators, or shared entrances in between.

  • Are drive up units cheaper than climate controlled units?

    Generally, yes. A drive up unit typically rents for less than a climate controlled unit of the same size, since there's no heating or cooling running year round. If what you're storing can handle temperature swings, it's the more economical option.

  • Are drive up units secure?

    The vast majority of our drive-up units sit behind a secured gate. All units have a secure lock and are monitored by our security cameras. 

  • Can I get to my unit at night or on weekends?

    Yes, and there's no extra charge for it. U Storage includes 24/7 gate access with your rental, so you can get to your belongings whenever you need them.

  • How long do I have to rent for?

    All U Storage leases are month-to-month, meaning you can rent for as long or as short as you'd like.
