Can I share my storage unit with someone else?
That’s a great question! While it doesn’t come up every day, it’s a smart way to save a little money. The short answer is yes, you can share your unit at Best West RV & Self Storage, but there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind to make sure everything goes smoothly.
How it Works at Best West
Since we want to keep your belongings safe, we have a couple of simple rules for shared units:
One Primary Account Holder:
- Even if you split the cost with a friend, the person who signs the lease is ultimately responsible for the monthly rent.
Authorized Access:
- For your security, please list anyone you’re sharing with on your Authorized User form. This ensures that only you and the people you truly trust have access to the facility.
Friendly Advice for Sharing Space
Sharing a unit works best when you’re on the same page! We always suggest sharing only with someone you’d trust with your house keys. Since you’ll both be coming and going, it’s a good idea to keep a clear path so both of you can reach your items without a hassle.
Pro-Tip:
If you’re sharing, keys can be a pain to pass back and forth. We recommend using a tamper-resistant programmable combination lock. That way, you both just need the code—no more "Who has the key?" texts! We actually keep these in stock at the office for $20 if you need one.
Key Takeaway
You are welcome to share your unit, but remember that the primary leaseholder is the one responsible for the account. Always make sure every person with access is officially listed as an authorized user on your account for everyone's peace of mind.
