Student Storage Torrance CA | Box-n-Go Self Storage

Affordable Student Storage Solutions in Torrance, CA

Finals week is stressful enough without worrying about hauling your entire dorm room home for summer. Since 2006, Box-n-Go has helped thousands of students in Torrance—especially at El Camino College—store their stuff during breaks without the hassle of renting trucks or asking parents to drive down with a trailer.

Here’s how it works: we deliver a portable storage unit to your student housing, apartment, or dorm. You load your stuff (futon, mini fridge, textbooks, clothes, all of it). We pick it up and store everything securely at our Torrance facility at 22107 S Vermont Ave. When you come back for fall semester, we deliver your belongings to your new housing.

We’ve delivered over 50,000 storage units across Southern California, earned 200+ five-star reviews, and maintain an A+ BBB rating. Students trust us because we’re reliable, affordable, and we understand that moving home for three months just to bring everything back makes zero sense. Looking for specific storage solutions? We’ve got you covered. Our portable storage units in Torrance deliver maximum convenience right to your driveway. Students at El Camino College use us for hassle-free summer storage. Torrance businesses rely on our flexible inventory solutions. And apartment renters throughout Torrance love how we help them reclaim space without the moving truck headache.

Why Torrance Students Choose Box-n-Go Storage

Let’s be real—you’ve got enough going on during finals. The last thing you want to think about is packing your entire room, renting a U-Haul, driving home to Orange County or the Valley, unloading everything into your parents’ garage, then doing it all over again in August.

We’ve worked with Torrance students for nearly two decades. We know you’re on a budget. We know your schedule is packed. We know you don’t own a truck or want to ask your roommate’s cousin to help you move for the third time this year.

Our student storage is simple: we deliver, you load, we store, we bring it back.

How Student Storage Works

Step 1: Reserve Your Unit Before Finals
Call us or book online as you’re studying for finals. We’ll schedule delivery for right after your last exam or whenever works for your move-out date.

Step 2: We Deliver to Your Housing
We bring a weather-resistant portable storage unit to your apartment, dorm area, or student housing complex in Torrance. Most schools and landlords allow temporary unit placement for loading.

Step 3: Load During Your Move-Out Window
Take your time packing and loading. Most students take 1-2 days. Pack your room, load the unit, lock it up.

Step 4: We Pick Up and Store All Summer
We pick up your loaded unit and transport it to our secure Torrance facility. Climate control available if needed. Your stuff stays safe all summer.

Step 5: We Deliver to Your New Housing in Fall
Before fall semester starts, we deliver your storage unit to your new apartment, dorm, or housing. Unload, return the unit, and you’re moved in.

Student Storage Sizes for El Camino College Students

8′ Portable Storage Unit – Perfect for Most Students

This is our most popular size for students at El Camino College and other Torrance schools. It handles a typical dorm room or small apartment without wasting money on space you don’t need.

What fits in an 8′ unit for students:

• Twin or full-size bed (frame, mattress, bedding)
• Desk, desk chair, small bookshelf
• Mini fridge and microwave
• 15-20 medium boxes (clothes, textbooks, school supplies)
• TV, gaming console, speakers
• Bicycle, skateboard, sports equipment
• Lamps, décor, random stuff from your room

Think of it this way: if it’s in your dorm room or student apartment bedroom, it fits in the 8′ unit. This is what most El Camino students use for summer storage.

Student pricing starts around $150-200/month (summer specials often available)

Student Storage Solutions for Every Situation

Summer Break Storage at El Camino College

This is our biggest student storage season. El Camino College students living in nearby apartments need somewhere to store belongings from May through August.

Why students choose summer storage:

• Save money: Cheaper than keeping your apartment empty all summer
• No hauling: Don’t drive everything home to San Diego, Bay Area, or out of state
• Keep your spot: Sublet your apartment knowing your stuff is safe in storage
• Travel freedom: Study abroad, intern across the country, enjoy summer without your futon weighing you down

We deliver before finals week ends, store all summer, and return your stuff before fall classes start. Time it right, and you never even overlap storage with your apartment lease.

Semester Abroad or Away

Studying in Spain for a semester? Internship in San Francisco? You’re not giving up your stuff, but you’re also not paying for an empty Torrance apartment.

Store your belongings with us while you’re gone. When you return, we’ll deliver everything to your new housing or apartment.

Pro tip: Some students keep storage for an entire academic year if they’re doing back-to-back semesters away. Way cheaper than maintaining an apartment you’re not using.

Gap Year or Break from School

Taking time off to work, travel, or figure out your next move? You need somewhere to store your stuff that doesn’t involve your childhood bedroom.

Our month-to-month storage works perfectly for students on flexible timelines. Store for three months, six months, a year—whatever you need. Cancel when you’re ready to settle somewhere permanently.

Moving Between Student Housing

El Camino College students move frequently—different apartments each year, better housing deals, roommate changes, life happens.

If your new lease doesn’t start immediately after your old one ends, store your stuff with us during the gap. We’ll deliver to your new Torrance apartment when you’re ready.

Downsizing or Upgrading Housing

Moving from a two-bedroom to a studio? Upgrading from student housing to a nicer apartment but don’t have space for all your furniture?

Store extra furniture and belongings until you figure out what you’re keeping. Or keep storage long-term for seasonal items and stuff you use occasionally but don’t need in your daily space.

Graduating But Not Moving Yet

Graduated but your job doesn’t start until September? Moving home temporarily before relocating for work? Staying in Torrance but between apartments?

Student storage works for recent grads too. We’ve helped countless El Camino alumni store their stuff during post-graduation transitions.

Box-n-Go vs. Driving Everything Home for Summer

Look, some students drive everything home. If you’re living in Torrance but your family is in Gardena, fine—throw it all in your car and go.

But if you’re from anywhere more than 30 minutes away? Let’s do the math on why storage makes more sense.

The True Cost of Hauling Everything Home

Driving home (assuming 200 miles round trip, twice per year):

• Gas: $80-120 (round trip in spring, round trip in fall)
• Vehicle wear: $50-100 (oil changes, tires, general wear from hauling heavy loads)
• Your time: 8-12 hours of driving and loading/unloading (twice)
• Risk of damage: Your laptop bouncing around in the trunk
• Family drama: Taking over your parents’ garage for three months

Total cost: $130-220 + your time and sanity

Box-n-Go summer storage: $450-600 for three months (around $150-200/month)

The difference? $300-400 for three months of not driving, not hauling, not taking over your family’s space, and not worrying about your stuff.

Plus, you can travel, take summer jobs anywhere, study abroad—complete freedom.

Convenience Factor

Driving home means:

• Packing your entire room into your car (multiple trips if you have a lot)
• Unpacking at home
• Taking over garage/bedroom space
• Repacking in August
• Driving back
• Unpacking again at your new Torrance housing

That’s moving your stuff FOUR times.

Box-n-Go student storage:

• Pack once
• Load into the unit at your Torrance housing
• We store it
• We deliver to your new housing
• Unpack once

That’s moving your stuff ONCE. (Well, twice if you count unloading, but you get the idea.)

What About Mini Storage Facilities?

Traditional student storage facilities exist, but here’s the problem:

With traditional facilities (Public Storage, Extra Space, etc.):

• You need to rent a truck ($75-150)
• Drive your stuff to the facility (gas, time)
• Unload into a storage unit (usually upstairs or down long hallways)
• Do it all again when you need your stuff back

With Box-n-Go:

• We deliver to your Torrance student housing
• You load at ground level
• We pick up and store
• We deliver to your new housing

No truck, no driving, no hassle.

Tips for Student Storage Success in Torrance

You’ve booked your student storage unit. Here’s how to make it work smoothly:

Book Early (Especially for Summer)

April and May are our busiest months for student storage. The earlier you reserve, the better selection and timing you’ll get.

Best practice: Reserve your unit during spring break or early April. We’ll schedule your delivery for after finals, giving you guaranteed space.

Talk to Your Landlord or Housing Office

Most student housing and apartments allow temporary storage unit placement for 2-5 days during move-out. But check first.

What to ask:

• Can Box-n-Go deliver a storage unit to the parking lot?
• How long can it stay during loading?
• Any specific requirements or restrictions?

We’ve worked with dozens of Torrance landlords and student housing complexes. We know the drill.

Pack Smart for Long-Term Storage

Your stuff will be in storage for 3-4 months minimum. Pack accordingly:

Do:

• Use sturdy boxes (cheap boxes fall apart)
• Label everything clearly (you’ll thank yourself in August)
• Wrap breakables in bubble wrap or towels
• Cover your mattress and furniture
• Take photos of valuable items for insurance

Don’t:

• Store food (even sealed snacks can attract pests)
• Leave liquids that can leak (shampoo, detergent)
• Pack items you’ll desperately need mid-summer (check twice)
• Forget to empty your mini fridge (seriously, empty and clean it)

Coordinate with Roommates

Splitting an apartment with roommates? Coordinate storage plans early:

Options:

• Share a 16′ unit and split costs
• Each get an 8′ unit for individual stuff
• One person stores shared furniture, others handle their own belongings

Figure out the logistics before finals week chaos hits.

Keep Important Documents Separate

Don’t store your passport, birth certificate, financial documents, or other critical papers. Keep those with you or somewhere immediately accessible.

Same with laptop and phone chargers. You’d be surprised how many students realize mid-summer they stored their MacBook charger.

Plan Your Fall Delivery

Before we pick up your unit in spring, confirm your fall housing:

We need:

• Your new Torrance address (apartment, dorm, housing)
• Move-in date (so we deliver at the right time)
• Any access restrictions at new location

Don’t have fall housing confirmed yet? No problem—update us later. Just give us at least a week’s notice before you need delivery.

We offer student discounts and summer specials for El Camino College students. Call for current student rates – 877-269-6461

When should I book summer storage?

Ideal timing: Reserve your unit in early April, at least 3-4 weeks before you need delivery.

April and May are our busiest months for student storage. Early booking guarantees:

• Your preferred unit size
• Delivery timing that matches your move-out date
• Better rates (early bird specials sometimes available)

Last-minute? We can usually accommodate students even during finals week, but availability is limited. Call as soon as you know you need storage.

Can you deliver to El Camino College dorms or housing?

Most El Camino College student housing and nearby apartments allow temporary storage unit placement during move-out periods (typically 2-5 days).

We’ve delivered to student housing throughout Torrance for years. We’ll coordinate with your landlord or housing office to ensure smooth delivery and pickup.

Off-campus apartments: Almost always fine—we deliver to parking lots or loading areas
On-campus housing: Check with your housing office first (we’ll work with their requirements)

What size storage unit do students need?

Single student (dorm room or apartment bedroom): 8′ portable unit
This handles one student’s worth of stuff: bed, desk, mini fridge, clothes, textbooks, décor, everything from a typical student room.

Roommates or full apartment: 16′ portable unit
Perfect for 2-3 students splitting costs or storing shared apartment furniture plus individual belongings.

Still not sure? Call us at 877-269-6461 and describe what you’re storing. We’ll recommend the right size so you don’t pay for space you don’t need.

Do you offer student discounts?

Yes! We offer:

• Summer storage specials for El Camino College students
• Multi-month discounts for semester or academic year storage
• Referral discounts (get friends to book, save money)

Student discounts vary by season and availability. Call for current student offers – 877-269-6461

Can I access my stuff during summer?

Yes. Two options:

Option 1: Visit our Torrance facility at 22107 S Vermont Ave during business hours. We’ll give you access to your storage unit so you can grab items.

Option 2: Schedule a delivery back to your summer address (if you’re staying in Torrance). Extra cost applies.

Most students pack carefully so they don’t need summer access. But if you forget something crucial, we’ve got you covered.

What if I don’t know my fall housing yet?

No problem! Reserve and use storage now. Update us with your fall delivery address later.

We just need:

• At least one week’s notice before you need fall delivery
• Your new Torrance address when you have it
• Preferred delivery date

Many students book storage in April without knowing exactly where they’re living in September. We’re used to it.

How long can I keep stuff in storage?

As long as you need. Our storage is month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

Common student storage timelines:

• Summer only (May-August): 3-4 months
• Semester abroad: 4-6 months
• Gap year: 6-12 months
• Flexible timeline: Store until you’re ready

Cancel anytime with reasonable notice. No penalties.

Is my stuff safe in storage over summer?

Yes. Our Torrance facility at 22107 S Vermont Ave features:

• 24/7 video surveillance
• Controlled access with security codes
• Individual locks on every unit
• Weather-resistant containers
• Regular security patrols

Your storage unit is yours alone—no shared hallways where others can access your stuff.

Insurance: We recommend adding renter’s insurance or storage insurance for valuable items (laptops, bikes, expensive textbooks, electronics). Many parents’ homeowner policies cover student belongings in storage—worth checking.

Do I need to rent a truck for student storage?

Nope! That’s the whole point.

Traditional storage: You rent a truck, load it, drive to the facility, unload into your unit. Then do it all again when you need your stuff back.

Box-n-Go: We deliver the storage unit to your Torrance student housing. You load it at ground level. We pick it up and store it. We deliver it to your new housing in fall.

No truck rental, no driving, no hassle. Your job is just packing and loading once.

Can roommates share a storage unit?

Absolutely! Sharing a 16′ unit and splitting costs is common.

Tips for roommate storage:

• Agree on cost split before booking (usually equal shares)
• Pack separately so you know whose stuff is whose
• Label boxes clearly (write names on everything)
• Decide together when you need fall delivery
