Self-Storage FAQ

Self storage allows people and businesses to store their items, at affordable rates, for flexible time periods starting from 2 weeks. Self storage provides secure, do-it-yourself storage rooms for individuals, families and businesses.

As a result, homes become free of clutter, small businesses have space to grow and our customers have peace of mind that their items are in a secure place with round-the-clock access.

Extra Space Asia self storage facilities are modern, clean, bright, well-lit and feature sophisticated 24-hour security systems including a personal access code system which allows customers to access their storage space at their own convenience, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Customers rent their own clean, dry, private, self-contained storage room, and lock it with their own padlocks.

Self-storage offers customers a wide range of storage units, giving them the flexibility to rent space sizes according to their needs. These range from large lockers and small 16 sq ft walk-in storage units to big 450 sq ft units. Customers also benefit from the freedom to up or downsize at any time (subject to availability).

Common features offered at each Extra Space Asia self-storage facility include:

– Unlimited 24 hour x 7 day access via secured pin code access

Specific features vary from facility to facility, and are also subject to availability.

Unlike traditional storage or warehouse storage, self-storage makes it possible for you to rent the exact space that suits your specific needs. You do not pay for additional space that you do not require and your storage unit can be upsized or downsized at any time.

In the past, personal and business users had to rely on removal companies and large storage organisations like warehouse storage to store their items on their behalf with limited access, no flexibility, and unecessary long-term contracts. There is little to no security, no consideration for climate changes or protection for your items, and no easy access.

With self-storage, a customised hassle-free solution is available where you have the option to choose the size you want, how long you want it for, with state-of-the-art security systems in place and full access to your items any time you need it, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is modern living in the 21st century.

You can store almost anything. Examples of items for storage are furniture, documents, books, building materials, commercial stock, wine, antiques, sports equipment etc. You can also store your collectibles and any item you value but do not need in your home or office.

If you are uncertain whether your items are allowed for storage at our facility, please do not hesitate to contact any of our customer service consultants and they will be happy to assist you.

Items that do not meet requirements for safety and regulatory compliance are not permitted for self storage. These items include:

• Hazardous materials such as explosive and inflammable goods

You have the freedom to access your items seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Go ahead and add or remove items from your storage room whenever you require.
