What actually fits in each size
The honest version. If you're between two sizes, size up — the rent difference is smaller than a second truck trip.
| Size | Area | What it holds | From | Availability |

Questions
About renting a unit
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.
Do you have climate controlled units?
Our units are non-climate-controlled drive-up units, which suits the great majority of what people store.
Furniture, appliances, tools, seasonal gear, business inventory, and household goods all do fine. If you're storing something genuinely sensitive to heat and humidity — a piano, fine art, vinyl records, or certain electronics — call us first and we'll tell you straight whether we're the right fit, rather than take the rental and let you find out later.
Can I drive right up to my storage unit?
Yes. Every unit here is ground level with a roll-up door, so you can back a vehicle or trailer directly to the door and unload.
There are no elevators, no interior corridors, and no hauling things across a building. For anyone moving appliances or furniture without a crew, this is the single biggest difference between an easy afternoon and a miserable one.
