Reserving a unit requires a $20 hold, which is applied to the first invoice and is fully refundable up to 48 hours before the selected move-in date. Move-in is available as soon as the next day. The first payment is due on move-in day, and subsequent payments are due on the first of each month. Leases are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Quoted rates include a complimentary lock, taxes, and cleaning and storage fees — no hidden or additional fees. Storage insurance is required: purchase coverage through Stuf or provide proof of your own insurance before move-in. - [Search Available Units — Find and book storage units by location](https://www.stufstorage.com/search-available-units) - [Storage Unit Size Guide — Compare unit dimensions and what fits in each](https://www.stufstorage.com/sizing) - [Member Help Center — FAQs on access, billing, insurance, security, and move-out](https://support.stufstorage.com/hc/en-us/categories/45138030216340-Stuf-Storage-Member-Help-Center) - [Contact — Reach the Stuf Member Concierge team](https://www.stufstorage.com/contact) - Q: How does move-in and access work? - A: After booking, the Stuf team confirms the reservation within 24–48 hours. Members unlock facility doors with a digital key from their Member Dashboard on a mobile device; every unit comes pre-locked with a complimentary combination lock whose code is stored in the dashboard. Access hours vary by location and are listed on each location's page. - Q: How do cancellation and move-out work? - A: Reservations can be cancelled without penalty up to 48 hours before the move-in date. Cancelling within 48 hours of move-in forfeits the $20 hold; cancelling on or after the move-in date incurs the first month's invoice. After move-in, rentals are month-to-month; move-out requires at least 24 hours' notice via the Member Dashboard, and the final month's rent is not prorated. Rate adjustments occur at most once every six months, with at least 30 days' notice. - Q: Does Stuf offer moving services? - A: Stuf does not operate its own moving service, but partners with moving companies in many cities to provide a seamless pickup, transport, and storage experience. Carts, dollies, and hand trucks are available on-site, first-come first-serve. - Q: What cannot be stored in a Stuf unit? - A: Vehicles (including e-bikes and scooters), food or animal feed, alcohol or drugs, firearms, ammunition, explosives, flammable or toxic materials, fuel, tires, batteries, propane, and irreplaceable items of sentimental value. Units may not be used for living or working. ## Unit Sizes & What Fits Stuf offers storage units from closet-sized to one-car-garage-sized.
