Unlike traditional warehousing storage offered by large companies, self storage offers you full flexibility and control over how and when you wish to use your storage space. Self storage eliminates the high cost, tedious paperwork and stringent procedures that are unavoidable at large warehouses. As the name implies, self storage allows you and yourself (and of course your trusted friends and colleagues authorised by you) to store as little or as much as you need, and access your stored items as often as you wish. Access at our Mermaid Beach location is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and out Miami location between 7am and 7pm, 7 days per week.

Self storage in our new containers is the safest and most secure storage on the planet. Entrances, exits and common isles within our facility are monitored by 24-hour CCTV cameras. Recordings are stored for review if it is necessary. Customers will be provided the electronic gates access code to access the facility. The system identifies and records every entry and exit via this access code to ensure that only customers and their authorised representatives have access to the facility. We provide our patrons with free use of a heavy duty padlock to secure their storage unit. Read more about the security of containers HERE
