Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Where is A-1 Self Storage located in Spartanburg? 

A: We're at 115 John Dodd Rd, Spartanburg, SC 29303, in north Spartanburg just minutes from I-85 and I-26 and a short drive off Asheville Highway (SC-56 / US-176). We're conveniently located near USC Upstate, Boiling Springs, Inman, and Valley Falls.

Q: Do you have 24-hour access to storage units? 

A: Yes. Our facility offers 24-hour gated access through a keypad-controlled entrance, so you can reach your unit on your own schedule, day or night.

Q: What are your office hours? 

A: Our office is open Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–9:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM; we're closed Sunday. You can rent storage units and pay your bill online 24/7.

Q: How is the facility kept secure? 

A: We take security seriously: perimeter fencing with a gated, keypad-controlled entry, digital video surveillance, and nighttime lighting across the property. Our website is SSL-secured to protect your personal information when you rent or pay online.

Q: Do you offer climate-controlled storage? 

A: We specialize in clean, dry, drive-up storage units rather than climate-controlled units. Our drive-up access means you can load and unload straight from your vehicle — ideal for furniture, household goods, business inventory, seasonal items, boats, RVs, and vehicles.

Q: What size storage unit do I need? 

A: It depends on what you're storing. A 5×10 fits a closet's worth of boxes and a few furniture pieces; a 10×10 holds about a one-bedroom home; and a 10×20 fits roughly a multi-bedroom home. Not sure? Call us at (864) 486-0088 and we'll help you choose.

Q: Do you store boats, RVs, and vehicles? 

A: Yes. Along with self storage units, we offer secure outdoor storage for boats, RVs, campers, trailers, and vehicles behind our gated, video-monitored perimeter — convenient for the Lake Bowen and Lake Blalock area.

Q: Can I rent and pay online? 

A: Absolutely. You can browse units, rent, and pay your bill online 24/7 from any device. Most rentals take just a few minutes to complete.

Q: Are your units month-to-month, or do I need a long-term contract? 

A: All of our units are rented month-to-month, so you're never locked into a long-term contract — keep your unit as long as you need it.

Q: What can I pay with? 

A: We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, cash, and check, and we offer automatic online bill pay for convenience.

Q: Do you serve areas outside Spartanburg? 

A: Yes. While we're located in north Spartanburg, we regularly serve customers from Boiling Springs, Inman, Chesnee, Mayo, Valley Falls, and the surrounding communities, as well as students and families near USC Upstate.
