Renting Questions

  • Is there insurance on my unit?
    You are responsible for the insurance of the items in your unit. We do not insure stored items. We suggest that you check with your own insurance company as they may cover the items already. Additionally, we can provide the names of insurers who provide low-cost insurance coverage for your items.
  • Do I have to sign a lengthy contract?
    No. We offer month-to-month rental agreements that automatically renews each month until you vacate. The minimum charge is one month’s rent, so you can stay as long or short as you need. For your protection, we provide a written agreement. Be sure to read it thoroughly and ask any questions. If you have a change of address be sure to notify us in writing.
  • What do I need to bring with me when I rent a space?
    You will need one form of current identification with your photograph and signature on it, such as a driver’s license, and a phone number where we can reach you if needed.
  • Is there a Security Deposit?
    Yes. There is a security deposit on the storage unit. Outdoor units have a $25 refundable deposit.

Access Questions

  • Can I get to my personal items in storage at any time?
    Yes and no. Some of our units can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our other units have limited access due to certain security features. Just ask and we can determine which unit is right for you.
  • How does the gate access system work?
    Every customer is given a unique personal access code. Entering this code into the front keypad will open the main gate.
  • How is my unit secured?
    We provide security lighting and heavy duty disc padalocks. Our units are lighted at night, and can only be access by customers with gate access codes. Claremont Center Self Storage is by far the securest facility in the area and you can be sure your property will be safe with us.

Move In / Packing Questions

  • Is there anything I need to do to prepare my unit before I move in my belongings?
    Your unit will be clean and ready for move in. But you might still want to prepare it by placing plastic on the floor under your goods to help keep them clean and reduce moisture. You might also consider placing pallets on the floor to increase airflow in your unit.
  • How do I pack my storage unit for easiest access to my items?
    There are a few key features to a well organized storage unit. Most importantly always leave a clear center walkway to the rear of your space for easy access. Clearly label all boxes and face the writing towards the walking isle. Try to utilize the full height available by installing shelving or carefully stacking boxes and never lean items against the walls. Lastly don’t forget to place frequently used goods near the door.
  • Can I store my gasoline powered tools and vehicles?
    You can store gasoline powered tools and vehicles like lawn mowers, power tools, boats, snowmobiles, and cars. But since it is both unsafe and illegal to store gasoline you must drain all gasoline before storing them.
  • OK so no combustible materials, are there any other things I can’t store?
    We do not permit the storage of hazardous, toxic, or illegal substances. In addition, we do not allow customers to operate a business directly out of a unit, work on a vehicle, regularly bring customers to look at merchandise, fabricate, weld, or process materials, or to inhabit a unit.
  • Do you rent moving equipment?
    We have hand carts you are welcome to borrow in our main office. This can save you some heavy lifting. Remember to always use proper lifting techniques. Always lift with your legs and never your back. Try to pack boxes to no more than 30 lbs and get help with the heavier items.
  • Do you sell boxes and packing supplies?
    Yes. We offer a variety of different size boxes and moving supplies to meet all of your packing needs. The quality of the cardboard boxes is excellent and they will last a long time. We have wardrobe boxes equipped with a hanger for your clothing needs. We also offer a variety of custom fit dust cover for everything from couches to mattress as well as the moving blankets. Please see the Moving Supplies section for a more complete listing.
  • What is the height of the ceilings?
    The ceiling height is usually 8 feet for indoor storage units and 9.5 feet for outdoor units.. Some units have slightly higher dimensions and you will have to make those inquiries with the site manager.
