Military Storage | Glacier West Self Storage

Being constantly on the move is a part of life for military members and their families. As you relocate from city to city, it can take time to decide what valuable belongings you can bring or if your new home will have the necessary space.

At Glacier West Self Storage, we proudly work with service members on short-term and long-term storage solutions to help lighten the load of your next move, with facility locations near various military bases throughout the Pacific Northwest.

When You May Need Military Storage Solutions

While there are various reasons to rent convenient and affordable self storage, the underlying motivation for military members and their families usually comes down to the frequency of their cross-country relocation.

It’s difficult to know when a new base assignment will arise or where it will take you, and the ability to quickly up and move to a new state takes practice, organization, and a need for storage. Renting a storage unit, whether in your home city or your new location, is a fantastic way to safeguard your belongings.

Here are some common situations in which members of the military find themselves needing a little extra space.

Moving for a New Base Assignment

Whether moving one town over or across the country, your storage will need somewhere to go while you adjust to your new home. While you wait for your next lease to start, or if your new house lacks the space you previously had, renting month-to-month storage is a flexible option to lock up your things while allowing you to quickly move your storage out if another assignment is sent your way.

Deployment Overseas

If you’ll be deployed long enough to necessitate ending a lease, you’ll need a secure spot to keep your things in the continental U.S. (CONUS). Glacier West Self Storage will work with you to manage a long-term storage solution during your tour, which can be easily managed remotely for a hassle-free experience.

Storage for Vehicles

If you can’t bring your car to a new state or across the ocean, consider renting vehicle storage at Glacier West Self Storage. We offer indoor and outdoor storage spaces for vehicles of all shapes and sizes, ensuring you’ll have somewhere dependable to park during your time away.

See our storage and packing tips for helpful tidbits as you move.
Drive-up storage. If you plan on storing large furniture or appliances that may be challenging to haul across a parking lot and through a building, consider renting a drive-up storage unit.
