Need Extra Space? Self-Storage Can Help

If you're running out of space at home or work, renting a self-storage unit is an easy and affordable solution. At Bolt Storage, we offer more than 60 locations with secure units in all sizes—so you can store your things safely and access them when you need to.

What Is Self-Storage?

Self-storage means renting a space (called a storage unit) to keep your belongings. You can use it short-term or long-term, and you can access your unit during our business hours. It’s a flexible way to get more space without changing your home or office.

Our storage units come in different sizes—from small closet-size units to large ones that fit the contents of an entire house.

Why People Use Self-Storage

Self-storage is helpful in many everyday situations:

  • Moving: Store your stuff while switching homes, especially if move-in dates don’t line up.
  • Home Renovations: Keep your furniture and valuables safe and clean while you upgrade your space.
  • Seasonal Items: Free up space by storing decorations, sports gear, or winter clothes when you don’t need them.
  • Downsizing: No room for everything in your new place? Store what you still want to keep.
  • Business Use: Great for storing tools, equipment, extra inventory, or files—without paying for extra office space.
  • Traveling: Going away for a while? Store your things securely while you’re gone.
  • Hobbies: Don’t have space for your bike, camping gear, or music equipment at home? A storage unit is the perfect spot.
  • Emergencies: Need a quick and safe place to store things after a sudden move or unexpected event? We’ve got you covered.
