Frequently Asked Questions
Twenty of the most common questions we get about storage in the Hutchinson area — pricing, sizes, access, moving trucks, and more. Still stuck? Call us at (620) 543-5925.
What size storage unit do I need?
A 5×10 fits a studio apartment or seasonal items. A 10×10 holds a one-bedroom apartment. A 10×15 typically holds a two-bedroom home. A 10×20 handles a 2–3 bedroom home, and a 10×30 holds the contents of a 4-bedroom home or a full-sized vehicle. Not sure? Call us at (620) 543-5925 and we’ll walk through what you’re storing.
How much does a storage unit cost per month?
At our climate-controlled Hutchinson facility, rates start at $105/mo for a 5×10 and go up to $265/mo for a 10×20 office-space unit. At our drive-up locations (South Hutchinson, Buhler, Haven), rates start at $65/mo for a 5×10 and go up to $135/mo for a 10×30 garage-sized unit. Real-time availability shows the moment you click Rent Today on any location page.
Do you offer climate-controlled storage?
Yes — every unit at our Hutchinson facility (4601 N Plum St) is climate-controlled. Ideal for furniture, electronics, documents, photos, wood instruments, and anything that shouldn’t sit in a hot or humid garage. Our South Hutchinson, Buhler and Haven facilities offer drive-up units.
Which of your four locations has climate-controlled units?
Just the Hutchinson location at 4601 N Plum St. The other three — South Hutchinson, Buhler and Haven — are drive-up facilities.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. All Sand Hills Storage rentals are month-to-month. Stay as long as you need and give us notice when you’re ready to move out.
Is there a minimum rental period?
You pay for the first month at move-in. After that there’s no long-term minimum — cancel any month with proper notice.
What are your access hours? Can I get to my unit 24 hours a day?
Gate access hours vary by location. Contact us at (620) 543-5925 or ask at move-in for the specific access schedule at your facility.
What are your office hours?
Monday through Saturday: 9am–6pm. Sunday: Noon–4pm. Closed on major holidays.
How do I pay my monthly rent?
You can pay online from any device, set up auto-pay, mail a check, or pay in person during office hours. Auto-pay is the easiest way to avoid late fees.
Do you offer auto-pay?
Yes. You can enroll during move-in or later through your online account. Your card is billed on the same day each month so you never miss a payment.
Do you accept moving trucks and trailers at your facilities?
Yes. Our drive-up facilities — South Hutchinson, Buhler and Haven — are laid out for easy access with moving trucks, U-Hauls, trailers and pickups. The Hutchinson climate-controlled facility can also accommodate moving trucks in the loading area.
Can I reserve a unit online?
Yes. Every location page has a Rent Today button that opens real-time availability and pricing. You can reserve and pay online in a few minutes.
How quickly can I move in?
If a unit is available in your preferred size, you can typically move in the same day. Reserve online or call (620) 543-5925 to confirm availability.
What documents do I need to rent a storage unit?
A valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID or passport) and a payment method. No proof of address or credit check required.
Do I need to bring my own lock?
You’re welcome to bring your own padlock. If you’d rather pick one up at move-in, we sell quality disc-locks in the office.
What items can I not store?
Hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases (gasoline, propane, paint thinner), perishable food, live animals or plants, illegal items, firearms and ammunition, and anything that could damage the unit or other tenants’ property. When in doubt, just ask.
Is insurance required for stored items?
We strongly recommend insurance for anything valuable. Many homeowners or renters policies extend coverage to off-site storage — check with your provider. If you’re not already covered, see our tenant protection plans for affordable monthly coverage.
Can I share a storage unit with a roommate or family member?
Yes. Roommates, siblings and couples share units all the time — a common setup for HutchCC students, families in transition, and small businesses splitting overflow. Just make sure everyone with access is on the rental agreement.
Do you offer boat, RV, or vehicle storage in the Hutchinson area?
Our largest 10×30 drive-up units accommodate cars, motorcycles, small boats and personal watercraft. For larger RVs or boat trailers, call (620) 543-5925 and we’ll help find the best fit across our four facilities.
