Storage Unit Sizes
Small Self Storage Units
Small Self Storage Units can be available in sizes like 5x5, 5x10, and up to 5x15. The 5x5 unit, similar to a small closet, is great for storing items like a dresser, a small bookshelf, and a few moving boxes. If you need more space, our 5x15 units, comparable to a walk-in closet, can comfortably hold furnishings from a one-bedroom apartment, including a sofa, mattresses, and numerous large boxes.
Medium Self Storage Units
Medium Self Storage Units range from 10x10 to 10x15 and offer versatile storage solutions. The 10x10 unit is ideal for fitting two bedrooms' worth of furnishings — such as nightstands, bedframes, mattresses, and dressers — and is roughly half the size of a one-car garage. For those needing more space, the 10x15 unit, which is about the size of a small one-car garage, can comfortably accommodate the contents of three bedrooms or a medium-sized apartment.
Large Self Storage Units
Large Self Storage Units in sizes 10x20, 10x25, and 10x30 are designed for more extensive storage needs. The 10x20 unit, as spacious as a standard one-car garage, can store belongings from a small house or multi-bedroom apartment, including entire sets for living rooms, kitchens, and two bedrooms. Moving to a 10x25, you'll find it comparable to a large one-car garage, perfect for a car or all the furniture from a medium-sized home, such as bedroom sets, appliances, and complete living and dining areas. The largest option, the 10x30 unit, is about the size of a one-and-a-half car garage and provides ample room for everything from a 5-bedroom home, including large appliances, TVs, various sofas, dining sets, bedroom furniture, and several large boxes.
Garage Self Storage Units
Garage Self Storage units are ideal for storing vehicles like cars or smaller modes of transport. These units provide plenty of space available, not just for your vehicle but also for additional items if needed. The larger 10x30 option is especially suited for those who want to store personal belongings along with their vehicle, offering a comprehensive storage solution.
iStorage Self Storage FAQ
Do I need Insurance?
Yes, insurance is a requirement for any storage unit. If you have homeowners or renter's insurance, it may also extend to your storage unit. Please check your coverage with your agent to see whether storage coverage is included or can be added to your policy. If you do not have your insurance, we require SBOA Tenant Insurance for your items. It is recommended that customers utilize our plan even if they are using their homeowners or renter's policy, as it prevents your insurance premiums from going up in the event of a claim and pays out prior to insurance claims.
Is Month to Month Leasing Offered?
All leases we offer are month-to-month. Whether you only need storage for a month or longer, there is no need to sign an additional lease to accommodate a greater need. Stay for as long as you will need storage without fear of lengthy commitments. While you are welcome to utilize your storage unit for less than a month, prepayment of one month is required and will not be prorated if your use is less than one month.
What documents do I need to reserve a storage unit?
A valid driver's license or Government-issued photo ID is required to rent a unit.
Is There Anything I Can't Store?
Certain items cannot be stored in your storage unit at ANY time. Here is the following list of things:
- Perishables
- Food Items, including canned/sealed goods – even water bottles
- Animals
- Stolen Property
- Hazardous or Flammable Materials
- Drugs
- Explosives/Firearms/Ammunition
- Unregistered Vehicles
- People/Yourself, i.e., seeking shelter from a storage unit
- Anything Illegal
How can I pay my rent each month for my storage unit?
We offer many convenient ways to pay at our locations: automatic payments can be set up, credit card, check, and cash; online, in-person, and phone payments.
What is the difference between access hours and office hours?
Access hours are when our customers can access their units and either load or unload them. Office hours are the hours our office is open for business. Things that you may need during office hours include rent payment – should you opt to pay in person – purchase of additional moving supplies, and transferring or vacating a unit.

I’d like to leave a review specifically for the manager, Paul. This is for iStorage on Unicorn Rd. Paul has gone out of his way more than once to help. Not only is he very polite, professional, and hard working, he is also a very kind and caring person. I appreciate him immensely! He deserves lots of praise!

Paul was very helpful and had excellent customer service
Excellent staff I loaded all my stuff into wrong unit they, were cool and just switched over the locker with no extra charge. Thank you staff
It was very easy to get started and the gentleman in the office was very nice.
Storage is spacious and clean, access is awkward but not a big deal, one of the bulbs is out and I needed two pad locks on my unit ( 10”) but was never warned before the office person left for a 2 hour lunch (gone from noon to 2, had arrived and set up at 11:45). Have to wait two hours to lock my stuff on both doors and report the light bulb.
Had a unit there until I moved - had it over a year. Paul was always polite and helpful when I forgot my code and had to check in at the office and get the unit number again lol.
Great facilities, clean, well maintained. This is a very well ran organization. The manager at 8713 unicorn drive is always helpful!
Helpful staff!
Excellent service - quickly and efficiently showed us possible storage options to meet our needs and necessary paperwork was handled quickly. Nice to be able to buy a lock on site also. Site manager was very polite and professional.
Tonnie was AWESOME! I was freaking out and she fixed everything! Give that girl a raise!
The manager Paul was great, 5 stars across the board. Give Paul a raise and a promotion for over the top customer service and managerial like candor. Paul was well versed in knowledge, prompt and honest. For some reason Paul isn’t listed in the “assisted by” drop down.
Excellent initial visit. The unit was clean and in excellent condition. Paul was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
Fast efficient and friendly...actually opened up 10 minutes early to accommodate me. Exactly what you want from a service company!!
Paul was amazingly helpful! So friendly and patient. Great 5 star service!!

Metro Self Storage is great and affordable. Kim and Chris were both very helpful and attentive during our moving process. Kim called me as soon as the storage unit I needed became available and helped me get moved in the next day. She is fantastic!!
Kim is the best! I knew her years ago and was thrilled when I walked through the doors at the office and saw her smiling face. She is always happy and ready to help. I will absolutely recommend Metro Self Storage because of her!

Great customer service
Kim goes above and beyond to provide a superior customer experience. We would not hesitate to recommend this business because of the level of customer service Kim has provided to us here at CKE Restaurants.
Nice size storage units. Staff always pleasant and helpful.
Easy access gate. Units are roomy. Above the ground level a few inches to prevent flooding your items.
Great service ! Kim was very efficient, friendly and had recleaned the unit before we arrived. Explained everything and made a stressful day much easier !
I’ve been looking in the west Knoxville area for a big enough storage facility for a few months, and finally found Metro! I’m super happy I did. The prices are great for what I was needing. I went in today and Dale was absolutely fantastic!! He showed me the exact unit I wanted, allowed me to inspect it, and explained everything to me about how they operate. He was super informative, very polite and respectful!! Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
We are in the process of moving to Knoxville TN. Kim, at the Unicorn Dr location in Knoxville was extremely helpful in our relocation from Georgia to Knoxville. Not only was she helpful but also very friendly and helped throughout the whole process. We will definitely recommend her to anyone needing a storage space. She treated us as if we were family.
Some units have lips on ground thats really high. Males it a pain to fully use your units
Kim was super helpful and friendly today. Really appreciate all she did to help get my new rental taken care of since we are moving from a smaller unit to a larger unit.
Great place
Kim is an amazing manager and Metro Self Storage Unit will always have my business. We moved out of the unit for a move across country and had to move back because of the virus and Kim and her team went out of their way to support us. Hands down best storage facility in Knoxville!
You couldn't have a better manager of the Self Storage on Unicorn Drive than Kim. She takes excellent care of your property, and she takes excellent care of your customers. She is kindhearted, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, thoughtful, respectful, and careful. I have had a storage unit at this location for approximately 20 years, and there has never been a manager as good as Kim--not even close. I hope she will stay at this location forever, because you will never be able to find anyone else who will be as good to both your company and your customers as Kim is. There aren't a lot of really goodhearted people in the world, but she is one of them.
Fast and very friendly! Best prices in town and very clean safe facility!
Kim is the main reason why I stay there, she brings a smile to my face every time I see her. Kim makes me laugh and I enjoy talking to her and could sit there all day doing so. If Kim was to ever leave that place things would never be the same around there. I LOVE KIM
Angela was treat to work with. Kept things simple but asked enough questions to ensure I was getting what I needed.
Kim is a pro. Best service in East Tennessee. Thank you for being so helpful and making the process easy! You rock!
Been storing there for over a year now with no issue.
Not this is a good storage
Would of been 5 stars if they had a dumpster people can use...take care of ya customers
Wonderful experience so far! Kim is friendly, the facilities are clean and well mentioned, and process are great! Move in was quick and seamless. Safe area that is tucked away from the main road but easy to get to. Will update if anything changes, but so far everything has been great!
Super friendly & helpful staff. Very clean grounds and units.
So glad I came to u guys to store my stuff. Kim ur great! And thank u for the referral fee too. Def helped me out when I needed to pay my monthly fee again.
Kim and Ryan are the best! We just moved to Knoxville and needed storage for everything that wouldn't fit in our temporary housing situation. They each manage a location and they made it easy for us by working together! They were both kind and considerate. It made us feel welcome!
Kim is a great person awesome personality...I moved twice and have always put my belongings here because I trust her and she's helpful no matter the situation...
Nice lady at the front desk and very helpful. I left my stuff for 6 months in this place and didn't have any issues. Reasonable price :)
Great people to work with Jerry was wonderful.
You know, when I read reviews for different businesses online, it seems like nine out of ten are negative. I have never personally left a review for any business. Some of the reviews are legit I guess, but some seem over the top. Like the business so inconvenienced you that they ruined your life. Relax people. Chill out. Maybe take some yoga classes. So, here is my review or Metro Storage on Unicorn Drive in Knoxville, TN. I rented a 10x30 and was charged a very reasonable fee and dealt with Kim there. She is very pleasant to deal with, and quite funny! Signing the paperwork took all of five minutes. I have had zero problems in about three months. The place is clean, well lit, secure, the gate always works ( except one time it was broken and they had the mother board on the gate system replaced the very next day ). I told Kim that if a larger unit or if adjacent units came available, I would immediately like to rent them so that I could have more room. Well, it wasn’t too long before I got a call from her and lo and behold I got that 20x30 I wanted. I am impressed with the fact that after a few months she still remembered me telling her that! So, now I am in my new storage home and am quite happy. Everything is organized just the way I want it. So, thank you Metro Storage, and especially thank you KIm! Life is too short. When things don’t go your way and the service is ridiculously lousy, yea leave your review letting the rest of us know. But, come on people, we are all busy in this world, and don’t sweat the small things, it’s not good for your heart.
Kim and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Easy move in and move out, great location!
It was okay but now it is getting too expensive. They just did a price hike. I will be taking my items elsewhere. I could rent a shed and put on my property for the prices they are charging now. The staff are nice though and the place is clean every time I go.
Excellent management
Always a pleasure doing business with them. Easy access to your units. Room for big trucks to maneuver around. Great staff.
Very friendly and helpful
Nothing but easy from looking in the website, calling, seeing, renting, and using my unit. Not my first mini warehouse, won't be my last, and as far as places go this over is very well run and kept and offers tremendous value. All drive up units, ample elbow room, HIGH ceilings, friendly manager, secure, and easily accessible. Check the website, I got half of my month and some units had a month free. No commitments here, month to month. Check it out if your in the market.
Great facility
Very well kept storage and KIM is a blessing from GOD!!!! Love you Kim
I have been a tenant at this location for several years. Kim and staff are awesome. Always friendly and very helpful. For a business tenant, this facility is perfect. Easy access for trucks and accepts small deliveries. Site is always clean and tidy. The secured site is safe and very well lit at night. I would definitely and have recommended this facility to anyone needing a storage unit.
Well maintained, facilities, friendly, efficient personnel providing professional service at a convenient location....what more could you ask for? Thanks Metro
Wonderful staff
Easy accessibility, great for business or personal use. The site employees, Brandt and Kim are very helpful and go out of their way to accommodate request. I'm very happy with this storage site and would recommend to anyone!!!
Great service, Kim went out of her way to give us access to our unit when contractors had it blocked off
All the information was provided upfront. No surprise fees and they were super flexible. My friend whom uses CubeSmart and recommended them to me is now getting rewarded for her referral!
CubeSmart staff is helpful, informative, and courteous!
Storage unit is great!! Bob, the manager on duty, provided super customer service and told me all the information that I needed in order to trust and know that I was storing my stuff in the right place. I would definitely recommend cubesmart self storage!
OUTSTANDING! Mandi and Joy are wonderful and knowledgeable.This is my 3rd unit and the facility is always SPOTLESS and well maintained. The ladies are extremely helpful and will even accept UPS, FEDEX and TRACTOR TRAILER deliveries for you. Highly Recommended.
It was quick and easy to reserve the unit online and the woman at the office was very nice and helpful, also the cost is affordable
Just what I needed at an affordable price.
I have used this storage location for years and have always been very pleased. The property is very well maintained and Mandi has always been very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this storage facility to anyone!
Having never rented a storage unit I had no idea what to expect. The staff at storage pros was friendly, knowledgeable, and made things very easy. One of the employees Mandi stood out always having a smile on her face and making sure I was always helped if I required assistance.
Hear ye, hear ye, this Storage Pros has been the best experience I've ever had with a storage company. The rates are reasonable, and the facility is very clean and well maintained overall. I felt confident that this was a safe place to leave my belongings. Most importantly the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Kory greeted me warmly and processed my unit quickly, and gave me great advice on the type of unit I'd need. Alan was very helpful showing me where my unit was. Last, but definitely not least, the facility manager Mandi, has continued to go above and beyond to answer all my questions and really make me feel at home. If I could move in here myself I would, haha.
Always impressed with the cleanliness of their units and the friendly staff. Mandy has always been so helpful and professional! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
We had a unit here for almost a year while building a house. The property is always clean, access hours were convenient, and the manager made everything incredibly simple. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs to storage.
I have a unit there and my stuff is safe and secure!
The Manager that helped us was very helpful, gave complete information needed, quick in providing excellent service, and gave storage options that fit my needs.
GH and Alan were fantastic! When I first went in I was looking for something they didn't have. Instead of just letting it go, they told me of a competitor who might have what I needed. The competitor didn't. Because of these guys I went back and rented from Storage Pros. They represent their company as though it is theirs!! Great Job guys!
I am a patron of storage pros and I want to commend the staff on the courteousness and professionalism that they convey. They always go above and beyond to assist.. I say to the staff - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank You,, Joe Davis
