Using a Storage Unit During a Move in Hondo

Moving is easier when there is a place to put things between the old home and the new one. A storage unit gives movers breathing room when closing dates do not line up, when a new home needs work, or when a smaller space means some things need a temporary home.

When storage helps most

Tips for move day

Rent the unit online before move day so the gate code is ready. With drive-up access, a truck or trailer can back right up to the door. Load the largest furniture first against the back wall, then stack boxes along the sides, and keep the items needed soonest near the door.

Plan for timing

Moves rarely go exactly to plan. Hondo Mini Storage's 24-hour gate access means a late-running truck or an early start is never a problem.

Choosing a size for a move

A 10x10 often handles a one or two-bedroom apartment. A 10x15 fits about three bedrooms, and a 10x20 handles a full house. Read the full size guide, then rent online or call (210) 241-5241.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far ahead should I rent a unit for a move?

Renting a few days early locks in the unit and gives time to receive the gate code.

Can a moving truck reach the unit?

Yes. Units are drive-up, so trucks and trailers can pull right to the door.
