Short answer

You need a current driver's license or other state or federal ID and a credit card, debit card or bank account to pay with. At SB Storage we provide your first lock, and you can do the paperwork online or over the phone. We do not accept cash or checks.

Checklist

  • ID. A current driver's license or other government photo ID.
  • Payment. A credit or debit card, or a bank account for bank draft (ACH). We do not accept cash or checks.
  • A lock. You do not need one. We provide the first lock for your unit.
  • A phone number and email. For receipts, reminders and your online account, where you can see and change your gate code.
