Storage During a Move in Arkansas

For most household moves, yes. Storage gives you breathing room: store the apartment or house before a new lease starts, hold items during a long-distance search, park furniture during a renovation, or stage a home for sale without rushing decisions. The cost of one or two months of storage is usually small compared to the cost of bad decisions made under move-in-day pressure.

Modern Storage® rentals are month-to-month with no long-term contract. Rent for one month, six months, or as long as your move takes — and close out whenever the situation changes. Between-leases customers typically need 1-3 months. Long-distance relocators average 3-6 months. Downsizers and home-sellers often keep a unit for 6-12 months while the next chapter takes shape.

Yes — Modern Storage® offers a free moving truck with new household storage rentals at participating Arkansas locations. The truck makes move-in easier and eliminates the need for a separate U-Haul or Penske reservation. Most one-bedroom and two-bedroom moves fit in a single trip. Truck availability, mileage limits, and participation vary by location. See the free moving truck page for full details.

For a studio or single bedroom, a 5x10 (50 sq ft) is usually right. A one-bedroom apartment fits in a 10x10 (100 sq ft). A two-bedroom home fits in a 10x15 (150 sq ft). A three-bedroom home fits in a 10x20 (200 sq ft). Four-to-five-bedroom homes with garage contents need a 10x30 (300 sq ft) — availability varies by location. Use the AI Storage Size Finder for a personalized recommendation in under 30 seconds.

Climate-controlled is the right call if your move spans more than a few weeks and includes wood furniture, leather, mattresses, electronics, photos, instruments, or anything sensitive to Arkansas heat and humidity. Drive-up storage is fine for short-term storage of tools, plastic bins, and durable garage-type items. For long-distance relocators and downsizers who plan to keep the unit for months, climate-controlled is the safer call.

Yes — Modern Storage® supports military PCS moves to and from Little Rock Air Force Base, Camp Robinson, and other Arkansas postings. Month-to-month rentals match unpredictable orders, climate-controlled units protect uniforms and electronics during long deployments, and locations across central Arkansas (Shackleford, North Little Rock, Maumelle, Bryant) sit within reasonable drive of base housing and rentals.

Yes. Renovation storage is one of the most common Modern Storage® use cases. Move furniture, appliances, rugs, decor, and personal items into a unit before the contractor crew arrives. A 10x10 covers a typical kitchen or bath renovation; a 10x15 or 10x20 covers a whole-home remodel. Climate-controlled units are recommended — your belongings sit in stored conditions for months and benefit from stable indoor temperature.
