What Services Does Extra Space Cover?
Extra Space has roughly 1.3 million storage units across the country. Those units accommodate just about every type of storage need you would imagine, from business to personal, cars and boats, and more. Extra Space doesn’t offer full-service storage, but everything that falls into the self-service category is covered.
Extra Space self-storage offers you extended access hours (usually between 6am and 10pm), and what’s even more beneficial is that this storage service allows you to access your units on the weekends. But best of all, Extra Space has 24/7 access options at specific locations too. This is the ultimate in convenience and not something most self-service storage providers offer.
To reserve a unit, you can call up a rep or go the online route. What’s also nice about Extra Space is that you can do the entire process online, contact free. You can book a storage unit up to 14 days prior to moving in.

Alternatively, Extra Space offers long-term storage plans that allow you to pay for a year’s storage in advance. You are only required to notify Extra Space verbally 2 days in advance before you can vacate your storage unit. If there are additional months still on your contract, you’ll get a prorated rate for your last month.
