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.

Ms. Lauren was very polite and informative with every call I made and question I had. Thanknyou Ms. Lauren and Southern Self Storage, I will be using you all in the future.
I needed a quick turn with getting a climate controlled storage unit. The process was easy with Southern beginning with the initial phone inquiry about their storage facility. Lauren was personable as well as professional. The property is clean and well secured.
This is my second time using this company. I had a great experience with them the first time, which is why i chose them a second time around. The customer service was awesome and i was set up in less than 30 min. Everything was explained thoroughly explained. I highly Recommend them for your storage needs!!!
Nice place ,always clean and safe ...
Nice storage area here on Philema Road! Friendly and great customer service!
This is our second time using this storage and every time it has been a great experience with the representing staff! Lauren was great in helping me to find a great deal that worked for me and my families situation. Thank you again for your help.:-)
Good customer service , got straight to the point.
Laureen is the kindest lady that works at the front desk. The day I moved some furniture out last summer to be able to move my mothers things that past away in 2005 into a smaller unit that was not as expensive. She all of a sudden showed up with 4 bottles of water and it was cold and much needed. The temperature that day was over 100. She didn’t even ask she just brought it to us. She has always been so kind to me I am older now so she helps me out so much. Please don’t ever get rid of her she is the best asset imo that happened when she came on board. I give her 10 plus rating. Thank you Laureen for being so kind it’s hard to find that these days and times.
What a great property and the management is top notch.
I give it at least a 4-1/2 🌟 rating. The ladies there are friendly, the facility is clean and I love the fact that it's secure. I definitely have and will recommend this business.
We had a really good experience renting our unit. Lauren was very nice and thorough as she walked us through. She was very sweet to me, as I was feeling emotional that day. The items going into storage, temporarily, were part of an inheritance. She was very kind. Thank you again, Lauren!
Very safe and great staff.
Nice and clean storage units, peace of mind knowing that my items are secured in a locked up form.

She was very, friendly and patient with her customers. I love that fact that I wasn’t treated as just a customer. I was treated more as a friend.
Very clean units.
It was great 👍🏼
Very friendly, helpful and professional staff! Nice and clean facility
We first rented out climate control unit from Riverpointe before Southern took it over. I have to say that Jen is an awesome manager and is always there. Just today, I was bringing some things into store and she was there on her day off. She took the time to help me and stayed until my issue was resolved. Great security. Great units. No bugs or rodents. Great staff. I would highly recommend Soithern Storage!
The facility is great, in my opinion! Everything was very quick and easy. The staff is friendly, and they are great with communicating changes and facility updates.
Very Pleasant Went Over The Paper Work With Me Made Sure I Understood All It The Storage Space Very Clean Jennifer And Assistant Were Really Wonderful I Would Recommend Southern Self Storage
Nice facility with first rate staff. Melia especially is at the top of her game and was a pleasure to deal with.
Very helpful people. Especially Jennifer, she was a delight. Vey knowledgeable and organized.
Property manager was extremely helpful with awesome customer service. High level security and it’s still being upgraded. I’m happy with my choice in storage 😊
I didn’t place items in storage the same day, it took me several days before I was able to put items in. But when I was ready to place items in; some one took me out of the system (like I had cancel my contract, which I had paid for the month). I couldn’t get in the gate and they had put a lock on the storage. Crazy but we work it out after a few phone calls.
The representative was extremely helpful and completed my reservation over the phone when I was only calling for information. The lot is pretty secluded and looks secure. The company is unsure if it will keep the truck previously used for hauls, but I think it would be a good idea to keep to attract even more business.
Clean Storage facility. Jennifer the manager was great. Quick and easy process to get unit. Prices are reasonable.
New owners but Olivia was nice when I made my payment
AWESOME storage units, we have 3 climate controlled units and have never not once had any issues here. They are VERY CLEAN establishment also!!!
My family has had a unit here for like 20+ years and now I have one too. Good pricing for both climate controlled and outdoor storage. Also offers boat storage. We've never had a problem with break-ins, trash, bugs, or any other animal. AND they offer the use of a free truck (refundable deposit)
The staff is very friendly and the grounds are always clean.
