WHY BIG BOX STORAGE

Why Cardiff by the Sea, CA Residents Trust Big Box Storage 

Compact by design. At 8' x 5', our box fits where a standard 16-foot container won't. Two usually fit in one parking space.

Built for coastal air. Wood won't rust or corrode in the salt air, and it helps keep mold and mildew away.

Ground-level loading. No ramp to climb. A wide swing door makes it easy to slide furniture right in.

San Diego's favorite. Voted San Diego's Best Storage Company five years in a row, with 70,000+ deliveries since 2003.

RATES

What to Know About Storage in Cardiff by the Sea, CA

Space is the main thing here. Many Cardiff lots have short, narrow driveways or alley access, and street parking near the beach and Restaurant Row is tight. Plan your drop spot before delivery day.

Cardiff is part of the City of Encinitas. If the box can't go on private property, check with the city before placing anything on the street.

For storage longer than a few weeks, our indoor warehouse is the better pick. It has on-site staff, motion and perimeter alarms and 24/7 video surveillance. Delivery and pickup are $99 round trip, and new customers who store for three months or more get their first delivery free.

Find answers to the most common questions about Big Box portable storage containers, moving services, secure storage options, delivery, and pricing.

Will a storage unit fit on my small Cardiff driveway?

Most likely! Our box is just 8' x 5' x 7', much smaller than a typical steel container. The truck needs room to back in and clear overhead space.
