Storage Units, Wine Storage & PO Boxes in South San Francisco, CA

Q: What items am I not allowed to store in my unit?

There are a number of items you cannot store at Arcos Self Storage. You cannot store combustible materials because of the threat of them catching fire. These items include fireworks, fuel tanks, fertilizer, paint thinner, and so on. If it seems like it'll easily catch fire, avoid storing it. You also cannot store firearms. You cannot store living animals or plants. Do not treat a storage space as a replacement for a proper pet sitter. Not only are storage spaces not built for people or animals to live in them, but the food you leave out for your pets could also attract pests. Similarly, plant soil could attract pests as well. You cannot store food of any type including, but not limited to, canned foods, perishable foods, dry foods, or pet food for similar reasons. Food will attract pests and will cause an infestation in your storage space and spread to others. Lastly, you cannot store illegal items such as prohibited weapons, illicit drugs, drug paraphernalia, and stolen items. If it's not legal to house it elsewhere, you cannot store it here.

Q: What is the difference between indoor storage and drive up storage?

We offer both indoor and drive up storage at Arcos Self Storage, and each comes with different advantages depending on how you plan to use them. The term indoor storage describes storage spaces that are found inside a building. These storage spaces provide more protection against the elements than drive up spaces because they're fully covered inside of a structure. Drive-up storage spaces are located along the exterior of the building so you can literally drive right up to them. These spaces allow you to easily unload and load your vehicle, making it a breeze to put stuff in, or take stuff out of your storage space. These are convenient spaces if you know you're going to store belongings that would be difficult to carry in and out of a building, especially when those buildings have multiple floors.

“I had such an amazing experience here. I came in feeling emotional and overwhelmed about having to pack my life away into storage, but the staff went above and beyond. The person who first helped me made me feel safe, supported, and even like family, giving me hope when I needed it most. When I checked out, another team member offered great advice and left me feeling encouraged. I’m truly grateful for the kindness and care I received and highly recommend this place to anyone..”

“Julie and everybody at Arco's goes above and beyond to ensure high quality service and happy customers. I had to move my things in here after an unfortunate rodent issue in my family's attic where I was storing my things while traveling. Julie not only walked me through all of the fine print and laid out all of my options, but she also took the time to get to know me and my situation. Which made me feel well taken care of as the newest member of the Arco family. Although my time here was brief I can confidently recommend this family run Bay Area business..”
