Storage managers
Universal Storage Group
Universal Storage Group operates and markets self-storage facilities in the United States and states that it has worked in the business, and around the world, for over 30 years. The site presents storage under one brand for renters while also offering storage management services to facility owners.
The facilities it lists span Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Georgia carries the deepest concentration, with stores in Atlanta and across the state, while California, Delaware, Louisiana and Minnesota each have a smaller cluster.
Rentals are month to month with no rent refunds, and tenants are asked to give five days verbal notice to move out. Payments can be made by mail, in person, through the website or on a mobile device, or set up as automatic deductions from a debit or credit card. Accounts 30 or more days overdue must be paid in full and in person at the office. Storage types include personal, business, vehicle, military and student storage, and a unit size guide with 3-D renderings is published to help renters size a unit.
Unit sizes and prices vary by location, and the site directs renters to the local store for both. Owners weighing third-party management should ask for the management agreement terms, which are not published.
Best for
Renters looking for space at one of the facilities it operates, and facility owners considering a third-party manager that already runs stores in their state. Owners expecting published management fees will not find them on the site.
