Drive Up Storage Units in Durham, NC

When you need to load and unload quickly, our drive up storage units in Durham make it simple. Pull your car, truck, or trailer right up to your unit door and skip the hallways and stairs completely, an easy way to store bulky furniture, heavy equipment, or anything you need to move fast.

Built for Movers, Renovators, and Business Owners Alike

Drive up units are a favorite for anyone in the middle of a big change. Moving into a new place near Duke, Ed Cook, or Parkwood? Load straight from your truck into your unit and cut your moving time down significantly. Renovating a room or your whole home? Keep your belongings close and easy to reach while work is underway. Running a small business? Drive up access means restocking or pulling supplies without losing your whole afternoon to the process.

Ground Level Access, No Hassle

Our drive up and first floor interior units are available in a range of sizes, so whether you are storing a few boxes or clearing out an entire house, you will find a space that fits. Keep in mind these units are not climate controlled, so they are best suited for items that do not need temperature regulation, which also helps keep the price more affordable. Ground level access means no elevators and no waiting, just a straightforward way to get your things in and out.

A Smart Alternative to a Full Garage

If your garage has become the default storage spot for everything you do not use daily, a drive up unit gives you the same easy access without giving up the space you would rather use for your car or a workshop. Move the overflow here and get your garage back.
