Southern 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, 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.

Unlike at the storage facility I am moving my items from, Luke, the manager, is friendly & helpful. I definitely recommend Southern Storage!
Luke was great. He helped me get the right unit I needed for my motorcycle, and even helped me save 16$ a month. It was a quick process and the location is secure. Thanks again Luke!
Luke was very caring and professional. I had a challenge and he really owned it and shared best practices. He was friendly and helpful . I highly recommend Self Storage to anyone who need a home for their belongings.
Rented a climate controlled storage unit here for 6-8 months. My unit was inside the building close to the office. The manager was polite. The building was always clean and kept up well . The hours to access my unit were good. I had easy access to my unit. They have dollies available to use to load and unload your things. I would recommend this business to anyone.

Shout out to Southern Self Storage on Thomas Dr, they have been great to work with over the many years I've had my storage unit there.
We brought items down from our attic over 2 years ago, and brought them (along with other items) to Southern Self Storage for a large indoor unit. Staff over the years has been very helpful with any questions, and we have had no problems with the storage. We are very pleased, and only leaving due to downsizing. We highly recommend this location, central on Thomas Drive- and all of the staff.
Very friendly staff!!!!! Very helpful and knowledgeable… had a great experience I highly recommend them!!!

I have a great experience since renting a storage unit from Southern self storage! Tammy had always provided answers to any questions I have had. She showed me several units in the beginning with no hesitation. Especially since I was so unsure. The gentleman that works in the evenings when I pay is wonderful too. Well kept facility and friendly staff!!!

She was helpful curtious and I must say very patient and tolerable.There wasm't a question that I asked that she didn't have a complete and resolute answer for. The facility was very clean well maintained and the office smelled great when I walked in. I was also greeted like and old friend when I popped in the door.I was very impressed.Tammy keep uo the good work.5 star, for sure,thank you!

The property is kept immaculant The staff at southern storage are one of a kind helpful happy interactions every-time . Southern self storage is the best
We recently put our condo up for sale and needed storage space to keep additional items so the unit could be better staged. This worked out perfectly. The facility is always clean and maintained well. A/C works great. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Boxes and shipping supplies for sale was an additional benefit. Will rent there again if we ever need extra storage.
Good rate and convenient location. Staff was very helpful.
This company was very efficient and friendly! Very nice facility with great indoor storage units!
I’ve had a great experience using Southern Self Storage. Jonathan was very helpful. I got a unit fast for a great price that is clean and safe. I highly recommend Southern Self Storage.
Fast friendly easy experience. Tammy answered the phone a half hour before opening to help me. Thanks again!!
Great staff! Very secure storage areas.
It was a great friendly experience. I booked online and it was a very easy process
We have had a unit with them for 9 years. It is close to home and convenient any time of day. Robert is always very polite and helpful. My only complaint are the continuous rate increases. This of course has nothing to do with the onsite employees.
Super friendly super fast and answered all my questions. Made renting super easy. Will definitely recommend and use them again in the future when needed.
Nice friendly staff, they are very will to assist me all the time. I have been a customer for over 4 years with no complaintents with staff or building it is very clean all the time. Only issue is price keeps going up for no reason other than see how much we will pay.
Called for storage info, excellent folks, very helpful. Would be five stars except pricing seems unusually high relative to local competitors.
Renting a unit was super easy and quick. The lobby and hallways within climate controlled are very clean.
Robert was just wonderful and kind
I had a wonderful experience here. Robert is extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place.
Excellent customer service. A little bit too much paperwork for my taste, I prefer doing it online and then finalizing at the site but I m sure eventually they will change that to a more streamlined, modern way for people to rent
Very helpful and very professional staff. They go out of their way to help the customer. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Good location, pleasant staff, nice units and good price
Very nice place and people
Southern Self Storage with really helpful they had customer service as well as great coffee thanks a lot guys
Staff is so nice!! The storage units are reasonably priced and a great size in a great location. Extremely secure and the hours are convenient. I've only been a customer since today but I'm so happy I chose them!
September 26th I called to get a unit and they lady was very knowledgeable and professional, when I arrived the gentleman took me for a ride to check out the unit to make sure it was big enough which was a relief, all and all great experience and will use again if needed, RECOMMENDED 100%
Super friendly and easy to work with...even from another state! we were able to secure a unit to coordinate our move. The staff is great and the climate controlled building very clean and tidy.
From my very beginning contact with Robert over the phone to speaking with him in person, Robert was very professional and knew his job really good. He took me to look at the unit that I’m now renting and his was very detailed in all areas of my unit, how to get around to it easy and explained everything. He ask if I had questions and when I did he answered with the upmost respect. I called several places today and I’m so glad I spoke with Robert. I hope his company knows what a valuable employee he is! Go see Robert and he will definitely take care of you!!! Shout out to Robert. Thanks so much, Cynthia Woodard

Great storage facility. Staff is always friendly and helpful! Would recommend to anyone.
Clean and available storage. A little awkward to get to units but doable. Barry was very friendly and helped by picking a unit we could get to with a large moving truck.
Very easy, great communication and the folks working there were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Great people!
Had great meeting with Robert & Barry, both explained in great detail how the operation worked ie time, hours, cost etc Barry showed me the units & I selected a large one 10x20.

Wonderful experience. Needed storage unit at last minute. Called and spoke with Barry. We met him and he showed us units. We quickly found the one that works best for us. Barry was thorough and professional .
I had a smaller unit with a competitor down the street for over 12 years. After being on a waiting list for a larger unit for almost 2 years I was referred to Southern. Barry and Robert were so accommodating and professional providing me with several options. Great customer focus.
The people at the facility are most helpful however I dont like the fact that the rates have gone up so many times
Great place to store items
Good place
Kind professional attendant. Mr. Barry was very helpful and very friendly. A professional experience from start to finish.
Excellent. The application was quick and contract parameters thouroughly explained, with a touch of humor.
I had such an amazing and easy experience. I was being charged over double at a storage unit maybe 3 streets over so in a pinch I ended up with southern. The guys were fantastic and super friendly. I would recommend 100 %
Nice people. Very helpful and competent.
I’ve been waiting 3 months for an indoor unit, because I didn’t want to go anywhere else. Mr. Barry is very kind and helpful. Getting in and out is easy and the facility is very clean! Thank you

No problems and best price. ask for Barry he was great!!!!

Love Southern Self Storage! They have been great to work with, and went above and beyond to help get the units I needed to meet my unique business needs
Just rented a 10x20. Nice price. Super friendly staff and well spoken. Very clean property as well. Would recommend to a friend and would also return in the future.
Robert does an amazing job and barry does a great job as well. They are both eager to help and go above and beyond your requests to make sure that they give the best experience they can offer. The facility is kept neat, clean and secure and are checked on regularly. Any issues are immediately seen to and done to the best of there ability. Friendly and they make it easy on any one going through the headache of a move. Would recommend to any of my friends 👌🙌💯
Ran into a bit of a snag with my reservation but Robert handled it beautifully. Very pleased w how clean it was and again, how professional Robert was!
Pleasant experience. Service was great, efficient, and very helpful, would recommend this place for storage!
Thanks to Robert and Barry, we now have two units at their facility. We had struggled with having one at both locations. The transition to move between both locations was very smooth. The facility is clean and a very cool climate. We are very pleased with our decision and have made recommendations to other tenants at our condo.
I wish I could give 10 star review! Super friendly and helpful! I will recommend to my friends. S Moore
Southern self storage helped me when I needed it the most! Their kind and efficient service made the moving process so much easier! Thank you southern self storage in PCB!!
I enjoy doing business here. Robert is very easy to talk to and work with. The rates are reasonable and they have units that are accessible 24/7 which is super convenient as sometimes I am unable to get by there during the daytime hours. Never disappoints.
My Mom and I lost my Dad last Month. He had a storage unit at the Thomas Drive Location for 6yrs and Robert and Barry could not have been more supportive and helpful moving out left over items in time of need. I recommend asking for either of them, they are gems!
Robert was very helpful, explaining the ins and outs for our new unit, offering options and showing us the available unit(which we snapped up). This facility is close to home and will be easy to visit and add new items to the unit which is climate-controlled as well as being under camera security. We definitely recommend.
Cheap! 50 for non climate control
The guys who work here are super friendly and informative. If you call, they will answer the phone, even if they are busy. Great at communicating. It's hard to get people to answer the phone around here so that was outstanding to see. If you need a storage unit don't waste your money at a place where the people are rude! Come here instead.
The staff was awesome! However, I didn’t notice until I was moving my stuff in that the ceiling is ripped up over the door and it has been taped up. The tape is coming off and I am a bit concerned. Also, the door latch needs to be greased so it slides easier.
The units are clean, easy to access and our temperature controlled unit has been adequately maintained to ensure temp consistency. The buildings are clean, well maintained and kept secure. Could have earned five stars if they had kept their cost modest but two major increases in less than two years may put it in the “let’s look elsewhere” category. Prior to that, had not had an increase in four years.
Great place to do business. It is so clean and the guys are always so polite, helpful and nice. Definitely recommend to everyone.
I was in search of a small storage unit and found Robert at Southern Self Storage - SUPER friendly ! Patiently walked me through the process and helped me pick the perfect size unit for my needs !! I recommend this place highly !
Our experience renting a storage unit has been great. My son Will G. had great response to his need for assistance and his furniture was safe and secure over the years of storage
I have used Bat Mini Storage for 6 years and they are courteous and helpful. It has been a great experience. William Gay

Friendly and affordable. Easy to work with.
I found the facility very clean and Robert was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, however I found that the prices were not competitive.
We have a storage unit there. We went in to enquirer about a larger one. Even though he couldn’t meet the price of the new complex in PCB, he was SO VERY KIND!!

My husband and I are selling a condo and buying a house in PCB. We needed a storage unit to put a few things until our closing. Mr Berry Carter was very nice. He listened to what our needs are. He showed us a few options. Very helpful, respectful and not pushy. The unit we rented is very clean and exactly what we needed. They also make it easy for us to enter the building with our key code. I definitely recommend Southern Self Storage if you need a storage unit.
I recommend Southern Self Storage to anyone needing storage. The staff at Southern Self Storage is very helpful and professional. They are hands down, the best self storage company around.

The gentlemen in the office are always polite and courteous to me when I call in to make my payments however today was exceptional, I drove from Tallahassee to PCB to pick up some of my things in storage and your staff was extremely professional and helpful not to mention just plain nice. I enjoy the new company; I have been renting there for about a year and a half. Thank you!
Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Facility was very clean. Will always store here.
Friendly, professional, helpful, courteous. These are the qualities,I found at Southern Self Storage when recently renting a unit. Thanks to Robert, I was able to move into a fairly priced unit when needed.
Robert was very helpful when I came in and wasn’t sure what exactly I needed. We ended up with a unit that was perfect for our needs. Always clean, highly recommend.
Robert, the manager is such a nice guy! So helpful and understanding! I had such a great experience!
Very helpful with reasonable rates. Thank you for an easy transaction.
Went to get a storage unit a couple of weeks ago and Robert was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Robert for helping us so much. You are just wonderful

If you need storage go by and see the friendly office staff and how clean and organized Bay Mini is. They truly appreciate their customers.
Super clean
Great prices
My storage
The words "Stay Local" never rang more true. I needed a storage unit pretty quick thinking I would stop in Cube Smart. They might as well change the name to Cube Dumb. They changed the price on me then lied about needing home owners insurance to rent a unit. They did not care at all. Just said that was the way it was. So I split and went to Bay Mini Storage on Thomas drive. I could not have had a better experience. Quick and Easy and a better price. Ashley is the best! She answered all of my questions and was professional and courteous. She is always there, even on Sundays! If you need a storage go to Bay Mini!!
Bay mini storage was so help full with my move. They helped me figure out what size unit I needed and had a truck for me to use for free. Wow, The couple who run this place are just the nicest people and the place was spotless. They had boxes and tape and was reasonably priced. I looked at others in the airia and they stood out because of the service they gave me when I walked in to there business. I would recommend Bay Mini Storage to anyone looking for a clean and safe place to store your stuff. The location was great and close to the beach road.
Great place, clean and easily accessible. Friendly staff and very competitive prices. The loaner truck was great!
We would recommend this storage facility to anyone. We enjoy the very nice people who work there. Clean, usable, security. Excellent service. Also provided a free track- saved our money. Thank you!
I would recommend this storage facility to anyone. The staff are very friendly and accomodating to your needs. They truely do their best to make sure the customers experience is the best possible. They keep their properties up to make sure everything is clean. I must say, that I've never encountered bugs or rats getting in my things like the other storages I've rented from in the past. Also, their prices are very reasonable as well. Anyone needing to rent should definitely try this place out. You won't regret it! I've been a returning customer for 3 years now and I'll continue to use this place if I ever need storage again in the near future.
