What is Drive-Up Storage? Drive-up storage is the gold standard for accessibility in the self-storage industry. Imagine an extension of your own garage that you can access on your schedule—that is essentially what a drive-up unit offers. Unlike interior climate-controlled units that might require navigating hallways or elevators, drive-up units are located on the ground level with exterior roll-up doors.

You simply pull your vehicle directly up to the door of your unit, roll it up, and start loading or unloading. There is no need to carry heavy boxes across icy parking lots or maneuver awkward furniture through narrow corridors. It is a straightforward, "park and load" experience designed to save you time and physical effort.

The Benefits of Drive-Up Storage For our Monticello customers, drive-up access is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity for the seasons. Here is why this feature is our most requested:

• Effortless Loading in Any Weather: In Minnesota, speed matters when the temperature drops. Drive-up access allows you to back your vehicle right up to the unit lip, minimizing the time you spend exposed to the elements.

• Ideal for Heavy & Bulky Items: If you are a contractor storing tools or a homeowner moving a sectional sofa, avoiding long walks and elevators is a game-changer. You can transfer items directly from your truck bed or trailer into the unit with zero hassle.

• Vehicle & Recreational Storage: Our larger drive-up units (such as the 10’x24’, 10’x30’, and 20’x30’ sizes) are perfect for storing the toys that make living in Wright County fun. Many of our units feature extra-large 10’x10’ overhead doors, specifically designed to accommodate taller items like boats with wakeboard towers, fish houses, or campers.

• Time Efficiency: Whether you are grabbing camping gear for a weekend at Lake Maria State Park or picking up inventory for your business, you can get in and out in minutes.
