Temporary Storage and Short-Term Options for Moving

Moving is rarely a seamless process. There’s the packing, the paperwork, the endless checklists. And then there’s the question of where to put everything when the timing doesn’t quite line up. That’s where temporary storage comes in. Whether you’re in between homes, downsizing, or just need extra space for a short period, Loxley Storage offers secure, flexible short-term storage solutions in Loxley, AL.

What is Temporary Storage?

Temporary storage is exactly what it sounds like—a place to keep your belongings for a short time. Maybe you’re in limbo between selling your house and closing on a new one. Maybe you’re renovating and need a safe space for your furniture. Or maybe you’re just trying to reclaim your garage from a mountain of seasonal gear. Whatever the case, short-term storage gives you the flexibility to hold onto what matters without cluttering up your space.

Why You Might Need Short-Term Storage

Moving Between Homes: You packed up, but your new place isn’t quite ready yet. A storage unit keeps everything secure while you wait.
Home Renovations: Paint, dust, and construction don’t mix well with furniture and valuables. Stash them in storage until the project is done.
Decluttering & Staging for Sale: Selling a home? Clearing out the extras makes your space look bigger and more inviting to buyers.
Storing Seasonal Items: Don’t let holiday decorations, camping gear, or water skis take over your home when they’re not in use.

Can You Rent a Storage Unit for a Week?

Most storage facilities—including Loxley Storage—offer month-to-month rental agreements. That means you don’t have to commit to a long-term lease. If you only need storage for a few weeks, you can simply rent for a month and move out when you’re ready. No unnecessary contracts, no hidden fees.

How Much Does Temporary Storage Cost?

Storage costs depend on the size of the unit and any extra features you need, like climate control. At Loxley Storage, we keep pricing straightforward and competitive. Typically, a short-term storage unit can range from $50 to $250 per month, depending on the size.

Finding the Right Size for Your Needs

Choosing the right storage unit size is key. Here’s what we offer at Loxley Storage:

  • 10x15 (150 sq. ft.) – About the size of a large bedroom. Holds furniture from a two-bedroom apartment, plus some boxes.

  • 10x30 (300 sq. ft.) – A two-car garage worth of space. Ideal for the contents of a three-bedroom home, including appliances and large furniture.

Storage Units vs. Moving Containers: Which is Better?

Portable moving containers might seem like a convenient option, but they come with trade-offs. They sit in your driveway, often require permits, and don’t offer the same security as a storage facility.

  • Storage Units: Secure, weather-protected, and monitored 24/7.

  • Moving Containers: Convenient for door-to-door moves but exposed to weather and theft risks.

If you need flexibility, security, and easy access, a storage unit is the smarter choice.
