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.

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.
The storage unit was very clean and well kept. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone because of the great experience I had with them.
Helpful and Informative Very pleasant.

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!

No bugs or rodents. Great staff. I would highly recommend Soithern Storage!

Manager was extremely helpful and informative. I feel as if I made the best choice!
They gave me no problem, they found me what I needed
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.
Both Jennifer and Greg are very professional with great customer service; great southern hospitality. Speaking to Jennifer prior to coming in to the property and the news advertisement reminded me of the Philema location. Jennifer is good people to work with . What an awesome team you have in Albany( Philema Rd).
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.
Awesome Customer service, Ms Owes’s is very friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable about her job. Enjoy talking with her. Thank you Ms Owers.
