• How large are the doors on your storage units?

Currently, we provide the only storage units in the Princeton, IL area with these larger, more accommodating entryways. The extra size allows for greater ease when storing larger items such as campers, boats, and trailers.

  The minimum rental term is one month, after which rent will continue to be due monthly.
• Do I need insurance?

  Insuring your items while they are in storage is highly recommended. Just as your home is susceptible to fire, roof leaks, burglary and vandalism, so too is your storage unit. Check your homeowners or renters insurance policy to see if your storage possessions are covered. If not, our on-site managers can assist you in acquiring reasonably priced self storage insurance.
