Northwest 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 have to be honest my experience is here we're not always wonderful with your employees but ever since Izzy has been employed here things have been a 100 percent better. She always gets done Wat she says she's gonna do and I feel much more secure having my important belongings here and actually feel like there safe for once. She always checks everything before she goes and jus does her job. Amazing,that lady is.😁

Deonte was great to work with and very helpful getting me set up with a new unit. It's an much older facility, so lighting and amenities are not what you'd get at a new Public Storage, for example. However, the pricing is by far the most affordable I've found in Portland. Plenty of street parking and a large loading dock.

There was initial confusion as we received an email saying our unit was reserved. But, when we contacted the office to make the payment and get specific details, there seemed to be no reservation. It did get resolved however. The individuals we then spoke to, or met at the storage center, we’re all helpful and friendly.

Didn’t end up using my storage unit here — needed something a little more high security (which makes me sound like I’m looking to store a renaissance painting that I stole from a museum in a high profile heist but I assure you that is not the case) — but Isabelle was wonderful, and helped me get a refund!

I just moved into a unit here from one I had in Ridgefield with the same company and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is always kind and helpful and the spaces have high ceilings so you can really fit the most in your unit no matter the square footage.

Love this place and have used it twice. Unfortunately this time around, because there was no attendant present when I moved out (i guess the attendant works remotely from across the street?), I am being threatened with being charged for another months rent. I moved out a week before the 1st, swept up, took off lock, emailed them a picture of the clean space as requested etc. If they try to charge me I will be contacting my bank to claim fraud as well as filing a claim with the better business bureau. I feel disappointed and angry that they are threatening to take my hard earned money b/c they have some strange remote attendant situation and expect tenants to read sticky notes they put on their office window. I’d like to resolve this and will update effectively. Update: Issue was resolved so I am changing my rating.

This is an adequate place for short term storage. The trade off to the slightly lower prices is that the area and facilities. Slightly sketchy and facilities are in an old building which smells musty so moisture and critters can be a concern.

Have had a storage unit with Portland Storage Too for about 10 months. So far it's been fine. Storage units are in good condition, access is easy and convenient. There are plenty of carts and a huge service elevator. I personally have had fine interactions with employees. I wish access was more convenient but based on the area it seems smart that it is locked after hours. Sometimes I feel a little worried about the transient element.
