Real units, real prices
Pulled straight from our office system, so what you see here is what's actually on the board.
Monthly rates, no administrative fee and no deposit. Second month free on move-in on new move-ins.
Why security is the whole pitch
You're leaving your things somewhere and walking away
That's the actual transaction. Everything else — the rate, the unit size, how wide the driveway is — only matters if you're comfortable leaving your things behind a gate you don't control.
So here's what's between your unit and the road: a fenced perimeter, a coded access gate that records every entry and exit with a time, cameras across the property, and lighting so the place isn't dark at six in the evening in December. There's a manager here during office hours, not a call center in another state.
The recorded log is the part most people don't think to ask about. Plenty of facilities have cameras. Fewer can tell you exactly which codes opened the gate and when.
What we rent
Drive-up storage, from a closet's worth to a full household
Ten sizes, all ground level with roll-up doors you can back a truck straight to. No elevators, no corridors, no carrying a mattress the length of a building.
Small — 5×5 and 5×10
Seasonal boxes, a bike, a dorm room or studio's worth. Roughly a closet up to a large walk-in.
Sizes & pricesMedium — 10×10 to 10×20
A one-bedroom apartment through a three-bedroom house. The 10×10 is our most-rented size by a distance.
See what fitsLarge — 10×25 to 10×40
A large home, a contractor's inventory, or long-term business stock. Deep enough for a vehicle plus goods.
Sizes & pricesWe also have a small number of outdoor spaces for RVs, boats, and trailers — only a handful, so call to check.
Why people stay
The things that matter after month one
Anyone can advertise a low rate. These are the differences you notice in month six.
Secure, and we can prove it
Coded gate access with a recorded log of every entry and exit, security cameras, perimeter fencing, and lighting across the whole property. You can find out who came through and when.
No admin fees, no deposit
The monthly rate is what you pay. No administrative fee, no setup fee, and no security deposit at move-in.
A manager who's actually here
Someone is on site during office hours, Monday through Friday. Not a call center in another state, and not a kiosk.
Pest control included
Regular treatment across the property at no extra charge. It's the difference between storage and storage you trust.

Getting started
Reserve online, then we'll talk
We reserve rather than rent online on purpose — it means a real conversation before anyone gets a gate code.
Pick your size
Use the size guide, or just call and describe what you've got. We'll tell you honestly which unit fits — including when a smaller one is enough.
Reserve it online
Takes a couple of minutes and holds the unit. Reserve a unit, or call (757) 465-9177 and we'll do it over the phone.
We confirm, then you move in
Someone from the office follows up to confirm the reservation, sort out coverage, and set a time. Then you get your gate code and the unit is yours.

Questions
The things people ask us most
How much does a storage unit cost in Portsmouth, VA?
Storage units at Portsmouth Storage Depot start at $55 a month for a 5×5, with 10×10 units currently $75 on our Fall Special (regularly $100) and 10×20 units at $150. Those are the real rates, with no administrative fee, no setup fee, and no security deposit added at move-in.
New move-ins also get their second month free. Rates are month to month, with no long lease.
Do you have any move-in specials?
Yes — your second month is free on any new move-in, and our Fall Special has 10×10 units at $75 a month, down from $100.
The second month is free on purpose, rather than the first. First-month-free deals attract people who move in free and leave; we'd rather reward tenants who actually stay. No coupon code and nothing to claim — it's applied when you move in.
Do I need insurance to rent a storage unit?
Yes — stored contents have to be covered, either by your own homeowner's or renter's policy or by our tenant protection plan.
Check your existing policy first. Many homeowner's and renter's policies already extend some coverage to belongings kept off-site, and if yours does, you can simply show proof of it. If it doesn't, our protection plan covers you and can be added when you move in. Either way, your belongings aren't sitting uninsured.
Are there any hidden fees or deposits?
No. There is no administrative fee, no setup fee, and no security deposit — the monthly rate is what you pay.
If you need a lock, you can buy one from us when you move in, or bring your own. We don't require you to buy ours.
What size storage unit do I need?
Most people storing a one-bedroom apartment's worth of belongings need a 10×10, which holds a couch, a bed, a kitchen table, and roughly fifteen boxes.
Below that, a 5×5 handles a closet's worth and a 5×10 covers a dorm room or studio. Above it, a 10×15 fits a two to three bedroom house and a 10×20 takes a three-bedroom home or a car plus household goods. If you're between two sizes, size up — the difference in rent is smaller than the cost of a second trip. Our size guide walks through each one, or call and describe what you've got.
What are your gate access hours?
The gate is open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day, including weekends.
The office is staffed Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you need to speak to a person rather than use your gate code, those are the hours to come by or call (757) 465-9177.
Come see it before you commit
Drive out, look at the unit, ask whatever you want. No pressure and no hard sell — that's not how a business lasts twenty years in a town this size.
