Dependable Storage
September 1st, 2025
When you’re shopping around for a storage unit, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the options. From hidden fees to confusing contracts, not all storage facilities are created equal. At Dependable Storage, we believe the process should be simple, transparent, and — above all — dependable. Here’s why we’re different from the average self-storage provider.
1. No Forced Insurance Requirements
One of the biggest frustrations customers face when renting storage is being forced to purchase insurance they don’t want or need. Many national chains add this cost to your rental, driving your monthly price higher than advertised.At Dependable Storage, we do things differently. We don’t require you to purchase insurance through us. Instead, we give you the freedom to decide what works best for your situation. Many renters already have coverage through their homeowners or renters insurance — so why pay twice?This transparent approach means you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for — and what you’re not.
2. Locally Owned, Nine Convenient Locations
Unlike big-box competitors, Dependable Storage is locally owned and operated. That means when you call us, you’re speaking with real people who live and work in your community — not a call center states away.With nine facilities across South Louisiana and Mississippi — including Baton Rouge, Prairieville, LaPlace, Houma, Jefferson, New Orleans, Slidell, Youngsville, and Gulfport — you’ll find clean, secure, and accessible storage right where you need it
3. Climate-Controlled and Clean Units
When you store your belongings, you want peace of mind knowing they’re in a safe environment. All of our facilities feature climate-controlled storage units designed to protect against extreme heat and humidity. Plus, we keep our spaces exceptionally clean and well-maintained so you never have to second-guess where you’re storing your things.
4. Flexible Options for Every Need
Whether you’re moving, renovating, downsizing, or just clearing out the garage, we have storage solutions for every situation. Our popular 10x10 units fit the needs of many households, while larger 10x20 units are perfect for families, businesses, or big moves. We also offer boat and RV storage at select locations, giving you room for more than just boxes and furniture.
5. Customer Service You Can Count On
At the end of the day, storage isn’t just about square footage — it’s about service. Our friendly staff goes above and beyond to help you find the right fit without upselling or pressure. That’s why so many of our customers return and refer friends.
