Storage Units in Cambridge, MD
Rent a weatherproof unit on our gated Cambridge lot. Personal gate code, cameras, and ground-level drive-up access whenever you need it.
Self storage on our Cambridge lot works exactly the way you expect traditional self storage to work. You rent a weatherproof unit by the month, you get your own personal gate code, and you drive up and load or unload as often as you like. The difference is what you're renting: an A Box unit on a working, well-kept lot instead of a metal cell in a corridor.
These storage units in Cambridge are the same units we use for deliveries across the Eastern Shore — wood construction that breathes, kept on a working, well-kept lot with gated entry, security cameras and clean, maintained grounds rather than an empty field nobody visits.
When You Need Self Storage
People rent on our lot when there's no good spot at home. Waterfront lots that flood, HOA rules that keep a container out of the driveway, apartments and rentals with no yard, and in-town Cambridge properties where the driveway is already full.
It's also the natural answer between houses, after a downsize, or when a business needs a locked place for records and stock a short drive from the shop. If you'd rather have the unit at your own address, delivery is the other half of what we do.
Our Self Storage Process
Call and tell us roughly what you're storing. We'll recommend a size, tell you what's actually open on the lot right now, and quote the monthly rate on that call.
Once your unit is confirmed you get your gate code, and we send a secure QuickBooks invoice by email you can pay by card or bank transfer. No payment is due before your unit is confirmed. From there, drive in, park at your door, and load at ground level. Billing runs month to month; when you're done, one call closes it out.
Self Storage Cost in Cambridge
On-lot self storage is billed at the same monthly rates as our container rentals — by size, plus Maryland sales tax. There's no delivery fee, because there's no delivery: you're renting a unit that already sits on our lot.
The full size-by-size rate table lives on our storage container rentals page, so you can compare what an 8' x 8' costs against an 8' x 20' before you call.
Why Choose A Box
Ground-level drive-up access is the first real advantage. No elevator, no cart, no hauling boxes down a hallway to unit 214 — you back up to your own door and unload.
The second is the unit itself. Our units are wood-constructed, and wood breathes rather than sweating the way metal does through Chesapeake Bay humidity. That's what keeps furniture, documents, and electronics dry through an Eastern Shore summer. And because these are portable units, you're never stuck: if you move, we can pull your unit off the lot and deliver it to your door with everything still inside. A traditional facility can't do that. Locally owned since 2006, with the owner answering the phone.
Drive-Up Units On Our Lot vs. a Container Delivered to Your Home
Both options rent the same weatherproof wood unit at the same monthly rate — the difference is where it sits and how you get to it. A drive-up unit on our Goodwill Ave lot costs nothing to deliver, because it never moves. You get a gate code, park at your own door, and load at ground level as often as you like. That's the right answer when there's no room at home, when an HOA or a flood-prone yard rules out a container in the driveway, or when you're between houses and don't have an address to deliver to yet.
A container delivered to your address adds one thing to the bill — a flat per-trip fee of $50 to $100 by zone, charged each way — and removes every trip across town. You load once, in your own driveway, over days instead of an afternoon. For a move, a renovation, or an estate cleanout, that usually wins. For long, quiet storage where you rarely need the contents, the lot usually wins. And you're not locked in either way: we can pick up a loaded unit from your driveway and park it on our lot, or bring a lot unit to your door with everything still inside.

Cambridge Storage Unit FAQs
- How much are storage units in Cambridge, MD?
- Units rent from $99 to $179 a month plus Maryland sales tax, by size: 8'x8' $99, 8'x12' $139, 8'x16' $159, 8'x18' $169 and 8'x20' $179. A unit on our lot has no delivery fee. If you'd rather have the unit at your own address, a flat per-trip delivery fee of $50 to $100 applies by zone, each way.
- Do I get 24-hour access to my unit?
- You get your own personal gate code for access during our posted lot hours. The lot is gated and camera-monitored, and every unit is ground level, so you drive right up to your own door instead of using a hallway or elevator.
- What size storage unit do I need?
- An 8'x8' holds about one room of furniture or 20 to 30 boxes. An 8'x12' takes two to three rooms — the most common pick. An 8'x16' covers three to four rooms, an 8'x18' about four rooms with room to spare, and an 8'x20' a full household with the garage included. Describe the rooms over the phone and we'll size it with you.
- Can I switch from a unit on your lot to one at my house?
- Yes. These are portable units, so if your situation changes we can load your unit onto the truck and deliver it to your address with the contents still inside — something a traditional storage facility can't do.
