Can I rent my storage space by the month?
Yes, our rental contracts are month-to-month — you don’t need to sign a long-term lease.
If I sign a lease for six months or a year, do you offer a discount?
We offer many ways for individuals — including seniors — and businesses to save money. Check with your store manager to find out which plan is best for you. Remember that if you prepay your rent for one year, we’ll give you one month free.
Will you give me a refund if I move out in the middle of the month?
Sorry, but no refunds for a partial month of occupancy.

Can anyone else have access to my storage unit?
Yes, but only if you give them the key.
What’s the difference between access hours and office hours?

What if I lose my key to my storage unit?
Call your Caro Self Storage manager during regular business hours, and he or she will be able to assist you.
Will I need to insure the things I put into my storage unit?

What is an on-site manager?
An on-site manager refers to an employee of the storage facility who lives on the premise where you’re storing your belongings. This helps increase the security of the storage facility since there is someone on the property during non-office hours. Caro Self Storage has an onsite manager.
