What happens after I book?

add

The storage operator will also receive a similar email (and a call for good measure), and will then contact you directly to request any additional details they might need to complete your storage agreement, this often includes verifying your ID, confirming payment details, and signing the storage agreement. Once this is completed, you can move your things in :)

How soon can I move my things in?

add

Moving in to your storage unit is quick and easy, and the timing depends on the storage operator you choose.

To get started, simply click "Reserve" for the storage unit you want and choose a preferred "Move In" day from the available calendar. The calendar will indicate any days that are unavailable for moving in, such as Sundays or days that require prior notice.

Once you've made a reservation on Explorage.com, the storage operator will contact you via email to request any additional details needed to finalize your storage agreement. This may include verifying your ID and signing the agreement. Once the formalities are completed, you can usually move in right away.

Additionally, you can find information about the storage operator's office hours and the hours you can access your storage unit, which might be different.

If you have an urgent moving need or can't find suitable move-in dates on the calendar, feel free to reach out to us via call or message. We'll do our best to make arrangements with the storage operator on your behalf.
