02 Choosing the right storage unit

What size unit do I need for a 1-bedroom apartment?

For boxes, seasonal items, small furniture, and the contents of a studio or 1-bedroom apartment, start with a smaller storage unit. If you are storing large furniture, appliances, or want walking space inside the unit, call or text (970) 200-8540 and we can help you choose based on current availability.

What size unit do I need for a 2-bedroom home?

For a 2-bedroom home or apartment, most callers are comparing medium storage units. Think about whether you are storing mattresses, couches, appliances, boxes, and whether you need room to reach items later. Call or text (970) 200-8540 and we can help you narrow it down.

What size unit do I need for a 3-bedroom home or larger?

For a 3-bedroom home or larger move, start with larger unit options. Bulky furniture, business inventory, moving supplies, tools, and outdoor gear can take more room than expected. If you are not sure, call or text (970) 200-8540 before renting and we will help you avoid choosing a space that is too small.

05 Protection and policies

What coverage options are available for my stored belongings?

Vail Airport Storage offers a protection plan for stored belongings. You may use your own renters or homeowners insurance if it covers belongings in off-site storage and meets the current rental agreement's requirements. Review the current rental and protection-plan documents for terms and any required proof of insurance.

Can I live or sleep in my storage unit?

No. Storage units are for storing belongings only. You cannot live, sleep, work overnight, keep pets, or spend extended time inside a unit.

Can I run a business out of my storage unit?

You can store business inventory, tools, records, supplies, and equipment, but you cannot operate a business from inside the unit, meet customers there, use it as a workspace, or run power-dependent operations from the space.

Do not store food, perishables, flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, explosives, illegal items, animals, or anything that requires power, refrigeration, or active maintenance. If you are unsure whether something can be stored, contact us before moving it into your unit.

Can I receive mail at the facility?

No. Mail is not accepted at the storage facility. Contact us if you need the mailing address for correspondence with Vail Airport Storage.

What happens to my belongings if I stop paying?

Nothing happens to your belongings the moment a payment is late. If an account stays unpaid, a lien letter goes out after 30 days, and there is a further 30 days after that before a unit can be scheduled for sale, so about 60 days in total. At any point before a sale you can bring the account current and keep everything. Call or text (970) 200-8540, or email Help@LookingForStorage.com, and we will sort it out with you.
