Think About Storage Unit Accessibility

Something you might want to consider during your search is how often and when you'll be accessing your Fairfax storage unit. If your schedule is hectic, you may want to find a Fairfax storage facility with 24-hour access. That way, you don't have to worry about when your facility is open or closed, and you'll be able to get to your storage items whenever you need to.

Also, think about what you're storing when it comes to your storage space, as that makes an impact on what kind of access you need. If you'll be storing large or heavy items like furniture or construction equipment, you'll want Fairfax self storage with ground-level, drive-up access so you can park right in front of your unit rather than haul your heavy items through halls and up stairways. But if you'll be storing valuable or sensitive items like antiques, maybe you'll prefer the extra security of an indoor, multiple-level facility.

Protecting Your Storage Items with Facility Security Features

As you look for storage facilities in Fairfax, keep security features in mind, especially if you're storing valuable items like antiques, electronics, firearms, or wine collections. The last thing you want is for someone to break in to your unit and force you to replace your valuables.

Storage facilities offering security features will usually have video surveillance, on-site management, individually-alarmed units, or gated access. These features add a layer of security to your locked storage unit.

How Short-Term Storage Can Help College Students in Fairfax

College students at George Mason University and Virginia International University often use self storage in Fairfax to store dorm belongings near campus while they head home for summer break. This makes it easy to pick up and drop off items each school year during move-in and move-out days from residence halls, and it means students don't need to rent moving trucks to drive everything back home for the summer. 

Since students only need storage units for a short period of time, long-term rental agreements are unnecessary. Fortunately, most Fairfax mini storage facilities offer month-to-month leasing for short-term renters, like college students.
