Events and Storage

Baton Rouge has dozens of events every year, from BabelCon to the Baton Rouge Blues Festival, and many more. When it comes to self-storage, that means two important things.

First, it takes many items to get a festival off the ground including booths, fliers, merchandise, costumes, and more. If there’s a parade involved, it will also include floats. Those have to get stored someplace during the rest of the year, and few businesses have enough room to store them in their own buildings. So, where are these items when the festival’s not running? Hidden in the self-storage lockers all around you are these parties just waiting to come out every year for your enjoyment.

Second, and perhaps less fun to think about, is traffic. When a festival comes to town there’s bound to be extra traffic going to it and from it. It may also take up street space and require detours. Just keep abreast of when events are happening and how they will affect how you get to storage, and you can plan your trips accordingly.

The Weather

In Baton Rouge, there’s no getting around it. Your self-storage unit will need climate control. The city has a humid subtropical climate. Winters are mild and often short, and summers are hot and muggy. The city also experiences heavy winds and is prone to tornados. Because of that, we recommend also having an indoor, rather than a drive-up, unit.

Why are climate controlled units necessary in humid weather? Dampness leads to mildew and mold, causing serious damage to fabrics, books, other papers, and more. Also, heat can warp items like musical instruments.

The Importance of Security in Baton Rouge

New Orleans may be the most well-known city in Louisiana, but Baton Rouge is the capital and a center of culture in its own right. However, Baton Rouge does have a problem with crime. The crime rate in Baton Rouge is about three times higher than the national average.

Simply put, you’ll want to store at a place with great security. A good security system includes gated access, strong, high walls, good lighting, a camera and monitor system, and an alarm system. Our article on storage security systems covers what the best self-security storage will look like.

Louisiana State University

Louisiana State University (LSU) has seen a surge in student enrollment. In 2010, about 28,000 students attended, while that went up to 31,500 in 2015.

Because of this, more apartment buildings are being built to handle the influx of college students. For the average self-storage renter in the area, this means two things. First, if you rent your self-storage unit where the new buildings are going up, you can expect some traffic delays. Second, more students means more self-storage renters. As those students acquire more belongings during their years at LSU, self-storage prices could increase due to the new demand.

    Most storage facilities in Baton Rouge accept deliveries for their customers so that they don't have to go through the process of moving every time they need something to be placed in their storage units. They will keep your items in the office and will inform you when they arrive so that you can place them in your storage unit at your convenience.

  • What if I need more or less space after I move in?

    Once you move in and feel that you need to move into a smaller or bigger space, storage facilities are happy to accommodate your move. Before renting a space, it is recommended that you speak to a storage facility representative to help you find the best sized unit for your needs. If things change through the course of your lease, they will help make the transition to your next unit as efficient and simple as possible. We also have a size guide that may answer some preliminary questions you may have.

  • Will I receive a monthly invoice?

    Most storage companies in Baton Rouge only provide invoices upon request.

  • Is there anything unique to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Baton Rouge?

    Some factors to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Baton Rouge are: weather, peak rush hour times, items that you will be storing, and location within Baton Rouge.

  • What options do I have for payments? What forms of payment do you accept?

    Most storage facilities accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Always ask about autopay, it's faster and much more convenient.

  • Will the company have access to my space?

    No, no one in the storage facilities has access to your space unless you specifically ask them or give them the right to do so. For example, you may want them to have access to your unit for things you may want delivered directly to your unit.

  • Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?

    Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.

  • How long is the lease and what are its terms?

    Storage companies in Baton Rouge offer a month-to-month lease. If for some reason you would like to cancel your lease during a particular month, please contact one of the facility managers to assist you.

  • Can I rent climate-controlled spaces in Baton Rouge?

    Yes, climate-controlled spaces are available in Baton Rouge due to the varying weather. Temperatures range from 37.4 to 37.4, which can dramatically affect things in your storage unit.

For questions and more details, please contact a local facility.

  • Do I need insurance for my storage unit?
