How Old Do You Have to Be to Rent a Storage Unit?

You must be at least 18 years old to rent a storage unit with Extra Space Storage. This is because renting storage typically involves signing a storage unit contract and providing a government-issued ID, which is a binding agreement that you need to be a legal adult to sign.

How to Rent Storage If You're Underage

If you’re under 18, you typically can’t rent a storage unit on your own because minors can’t legally sign binding contracts. Instead, you’ll need a parent, guardian, or another trusted adult to rent the unit in their name. They can sign the storage agreement and make payments on your behalf. In some cases, they may also be able to list you as an authorized user so you can access the unit. If you’re in this situation, we recommend visiting your nearest Extra Space Storage facility to speak with the facility manager about requirements and policies.
