What Services Does Simply Self Storage Cover
Simply Self Storage, as the name implies, offers self-service storage, with a variety of extra features to fit most scenarios. Units are available in a wide range of sizes, starting at 52 ft, and going up to 10ft x 30ft, large enough for most personal boats.
Contracts are monthly, and come with built-in insurance up to $2,000. You can either make a booking online, for which special discounts may apply, or else call or visit on-site. It’s recommended to call if you want to store a vehicle, as the online booking form doesn’t specify which indoor units are appropriate for vehicles.

Security features vary per location, but most include electronic gates with keycode access, video surveillance, on-site security and manager during business hours, and perimeter fencing.

Simply Self Storage Storage Unit Details
Storage units range from 3’ x 3’ up to 10’ x 30’, so no matter your storage needs, there’s a unit the right size for you. The smallest units are perfect for storing a few boxes and a bag, and Simply Self Storage even offers 3’ x 3’ wine storage units with cooling systems and humidifiers for perfectly stored wine.
Largest units can fit small, personal boats, vintage cars, or more. The 10’ x 30’ unit, according to the website, is large enough to hold a four- or five-bedroom home, with all the appliances, garage items, couches, screens and media, and more. Some locations even had 10’ x 40’ units.
The sizing guide is very useful, with diagrams and information on what can be stored in what units.
