Storage Solutions
Storage That Fits Any Move
Whether you’re planning a long distance move or coordinating a move across town, storage often plays a critical role in keeping everything on schedule. Bekins treats storage as part of a fully managed process. Your timeline stays intact, even when plans shift. Your items are professionally packed, documented, and placed into secure storage with a clear path to final delivery.
For long distance moves, storage is often used to bridge timing gaps between pickup and delivery. If your new home isn’t ready, long distance moving and storage keep your belongings and household items securely stored under active move management until delivery can be completed. We can also provide auto transport for vehicles moving to your new destination. You’ll have a defined timeline, a detailed inventory, and consistent updates from your move specialist so you always know what’s happening next.
For local moves, our extensive network of Bekins agents provides flexible storage options that align with shorter timelines or temporary needs. Whether you’re staging a home, downsizing, or waiting on access, your items are stored safely and returned when you’re ready. The same standards of careful handling, clear documentation, and coordinated delivery apply.
No matter the distance, storage with Bekins is planned, tracked, and managed from start to finish. You have one point of contact, a clear schedule, and confidence that your belongings are exactly where they should be.
Safe, Dependable Moving and Storage Services
What Kind of Storage Options Does Bekins Offer?
No matter what or how long you’re storing with Bekins, you can rest assured that your belongings will be safe. Many of our facilities meet the high security standards set by the US military and government.
We offer an array of moving and storage services to fit your specific needs. Residential storage services we offer include, but are not limited to:
- Short-Term Storage Units and Services. If your move requires a brief pause, your items are held safely until your timeline lines up. Once you’re ready, your move specialist will coordinate a smooth, timely delivery back to you.
- Storage-in-Transit for Up to 180 Days. If you initially choose our storage-in-transit services but need to store items for more than 180 days, just contact your local moving agent for help.
- Long-Term Storage Services. For items you don’t need right away, your belongings remain securely stored until you’re ready.
The Bekins team is also available to pack your belongings before you store them, especially items that are particularly prone to breaking. We’ll wrap them securely so that when you retrieve your items, they’ll be in the same condition you left them in. If you’re looking for a moving storage company near you, Bekins should be top-of-mind!
Residential Storage Options
Storage That Matches Your Timeline
Not all storage is the same, and the right option depends on how your move is structured. As a reputable moving company, Bekins offers two distinct storage approaches to keep your move on track without added complexity.
Storage-in-transit (SIT) is part of your active move. It’s used when your delivery timing and your destination don’t align, whether you’re waiting on closing, finalizing a lease, or coordinating access. Your personal items remain under the control of your move plan, stored securely for a defined period before final delivery is scheduled. Inventory stays intact, timelines stay documented, and your move specialist keeps everything moving forward with clear updates.
Long-term storage is built for flexibility beyond the move itself. If you need extended storage for downsizing, staging a home, or managing a delayed transition, your items are placed into a more permanent storage solution. Access, duration, and delivery are planned around your needs, not tied to an immediate move schedule. It’s a separate phase, managed with the same level of documentation and oversight as all your moving services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving and Storage Services
When storing items during your move, it’s obvious that you want to make sure the storage unit is big enough. However, you also want to ensure it’s not too big because you don’t want to spend unnecessary money. To find the right size storage unit, start by multiplying the length, width, and height of your items.
If your bigger items create a pile larger than 5×5, you know you’ll need a storage unit that is at least 25 square feet. If you have more questions about what type or size of storage you need, get in touch with Bekins. We’re more than happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
Yes! We are a full service moving company. This means we pack, store, move, and deliver your belongings for you. Whether you want our help from start to finish or you just want to store your items with us, we’ll provide reliable and exceptional services for your move.
Access policies vary by Bekins agent and facility. If you anticipate needing access to your items during the storage period, talk with your move specialist when you set up your storage plan so the right facility and arrangement are chosen for your situation. Your local Bekins agent can provide specifics on hours, advance notice required, and any retrieval procedures.
Bekins has three different types of storage options for your move, depending on how long you need to keep your items with us: long-term storage, short-term storage, and storage-in-transit. With long-term storage, you can store your belongings with us as long as you need. All you have to do is reach out to schedule a time, and we will return your belongings to you.
Here are a few tips to get you started with packing your storage container:
- Create box walls. You should pack your boxes from floor to ceiling before moving to the next stack of items.
- Pack the boxes close together. This will decrease the chances of them moving and shifting during the move.
- Start with the heavy stuff. Get all your heavy items, like appliances and furniture, in the container first. If possible, try to distribute the weight evenly in the container.
- Deconstruct as much as possible. Take apart shelves and remove legs from furniture, for example.
The amount that Bekins Van Lines charges for storage depends on how long your items will be stored, what type of items you have, and how many belongings you need stored. However, you can estimate that we will charge approximately $70 per storage vault. If you have questions about our storage services, contact us today. We are happy to answer your questions.
