Storage units in Virginia are available in almost every town and city across the state, whether you're looking for a large national provider with storage facilities in Virginia or a local Virginia storage company with regional operations only.

With national self-storage in Virginia, you can typically shop by size and features and then reserve easily online. With regional companies, you may need to take a closer look at the features and accessibility of storage units in Virginia.

As you shop for storage, Virginia companies can provide you with some useful information. Consider these points when making your decision:

1. Check large companies for a wide range of features and online availability and pricing.
2. Get suggestions for size needs for local self-storage in Virginia.
3. Check the features and perks of renting storage units in Virginia from local companies.
4. Investigate the convenience of a pack-and-ship storage container rather than renting a room for storage space in Virginia.

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Reserve storage in Virginia with an easy click

National companies offering storage in Virginia typically have user-friendly websites to navigate, with easy-to-read lists of services offered at specific locations and online reservations.

I recommend: Search by location and then pick out a unit by size, climate control, security features, facility hours and other factors with national providers of storage units in Virginia such as Uncle Bob's and ExtraSpace.

Get storage units in Virginia that are just the right size

Local and regional companies with storage units in Virginia may offer a specific range of storage unit sizes, but they also offer information on how to calculate your own size needs.

I recommend: Check out suggestions and estimations of unit size, including pictures showing how to pack a room and examples of the types of things you may need to store in all sizes of storage units VA has to offer.

Shop for storage in Virginia through a regional or local company

The features offered by a local or regional company are often less standard than those of a larger national company, but if you want perks with your storage, Virginia companies may serve you best.

I recommend: Enter a start date and choose the storage unit you need to get an immediate price quote from EZStorage or Atlantic Self-Storage, both regional companies. These companies have different special offers (such as 50% off your first month's rent or free truck rental) depending on location. Try Simply Storage, a Virginia storage company, for the same features and perks-- 24-hour gate access, security, and free truck rental-- at all of their local locations for storage in Virginia.

Don't do everything yourself with self-storage in Virginia

If you're dreading the hassle of packing up and unpacking storage units, VA also offers self-storage alternatives, such as pack and ship room-sized containers that are dropped off at your home or office and picked up for storage when you're done filling them.

I recommend: Just choose from two container sizes and get a free quote online for storage in VA. You can even watch a video of how the process works when using pick-up storage units in Virginia.

• •  Don't overlook the hidden costs of self-storage in Virginia. In addition to monthly rentals, storage facilities may charge an application fee and rental fee for optional locks or alarms, and you'll incur additional moving expenses with packing materials and truck rentals.
