If you live in Willow Spring and need a storage unit, one option close to home is Consolidated Self-Storage at 650 Church Rd, Benson, NC 27504, in the McGee's Crossroads community on Church Road. This guide covers the storage units available there, what each size costs at standard rates, how to pick the right size, when you can get in, and how to reserve a unit online without leaving home.
Consolidated Self-Storage serves Willow Spring, Benson, Garner, Four Oaks and Angier from one facility at McGee's Crossroads. The mailing address is Benson, but the facility sits on the Benson side of Willow Spring, which makes it a practical choice for Willow Spring households that want storage units near home rather than a long drive into a bigger city.
The facility offers standard drive-up units, climate-controlled units, and outside parking for RVs, boats, campers, trailers and vehicles. U-Haul truck and trailer rentals are scheduled in the office, and U-Haul moving supplies are sold on site, so a move can be planned from one stop.
These are the standard monthly rates listed on the Consolidated Self-Storage rental page. Availability changes, so check the rental page for the units open today.
Drive-up units (non climate-controlled)
Climate-controlled units
Some sizes, including the smaller climate-controlled units, the 10x20 climate-controlled unit, the 10x30 and covered parking, run on a waiting list. The rental page lets you join the waiting list for a size that is not open yet.
Choosing the right size keeps you from paying for space you do not use. A simple way to think about the four drive-up sizes:
If you are between two sizes, list your largest pieces first (sofa, beds, dining table, appliances) and leave room for a walkway so you can reach the back of the unit.
Drive-up units let you back a car, truck or trailer right up to the door, which makes loading and unloading faster. They work well for furniture, boxes, tools, outdoor equipment and household goods.
Climate-controlled units maintain a steady temperature and humidity. They are the better choice for items that can be affected by heat and moisture, such as wood furniture, electronics, documents, photos and anything you plan to keep in storage for a long stretch. The climate-controlled 10x10 and 10x15 are the sizes to look at first.
Willow Spring households with an RV, camper, boat or trailer often run out of room in the driveway. Consolidated Self-Storage offers outside parking and outside paved parking for RVs, boats, campers, trailers and vehicles, plus covered parking (12x45, $225 per month, currently on a waiting list) and transfer truck parking. Tucker Lake is close by for boat owners. Parking rates and open spaces are listed on the rental page.
The gate is open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and closed on Sunday.
The facility is fenced and gated, well lit, and monitored with digital video surveillance cameras. Pest control is in place in all units. A tenant protection plan is also available; the details are on the facility's Tenant Protection page.
A move is one of the main reasons people rent a storage unit. Storing furniture and boxes during a move gives you room to clean, paint or stage a home, and it keeps belongings safe if closing dates do not line up.
Because U-Haul truck and trailer rentals are scheduled in the Consolidated Self-Storage office, you can rent the truck, load your unit and pick up boxes, tape and other moving supplies in one trip.
