FAQ

Sure, no problem. Whether you need storage for one month, two months or six months, we are here to help. We also have a referral program so that you can reduce your storage costs just by referring fellow students. Call the facility storage manager at the phone number located on this page at the top right side.

We can refer you to persons and companies that specialize in moving. Although we have no affiliation with them, we are glad to supply you with the names of companies that are specialists in their fields and have an excellent track record with our clients.

Yes, you can store as long or as short as necessary.

Storage lockers can be accessed 365 days per year between the hours of 7:00am to 10:00pm. Our philosophy is that most people can handle storage needs during these times and we would rather be closed in the middle of the night than allow persons access while no one is around. This is one of our security measures that works in tandem with our electronic surveillance systems. If you will need 24 hour access, we would rather not accommodate this need than allow persons uncontrolled access during the wee hours of the morning. You can access your self storage unit as many times as necessary during the above hours without any additional charges.

We store various vehicles in our gated outdoor storage compound year round so if your need is seasonal, we can handle this outdoor parking service. Or, if you need parking access year round for landscape and snowplow equipment, we provide this option as well.

We do not provide moving services, but we can recommend movers that other storage clients have used that have had an excellent experience. We are not affiliated with movers so you will have to make direct contact with them. If you want our list of preferred movers, please contact the facility manager for information.

All our storage agreements are monthly so if you plan to stay a year or more, there is no discount. However, if you prepay in advance for six months or one year you will qualify for a discount. For information on storage discounts, contact the facility storage manager.

A 5ft. x 5ft. storage unit can easily store more than 50 bankers boxes. You’ll save money when you choose to store at Jiffy over conventional document storage facilities. We have storage consultants on staff that can help you with your document storage needs.

Most storage units are approximately 10 feet high. Sometimes you can save space if you store a long item diagonally or vertically in your Toronto storage unit. For example, if you have a canoe, you might be able to store it diagonally, saving floor space. The same applies for items like screens, poles, awnings, rolled carpets and other storage items that are long and narrow.

Besides heated storage we also have air conditioned storage and unheated storage. Check with our storage consultant to see which type of storage would be best suited for your particular needs.

Yes, we can store any number of motorcycles or other types of internal combustion engines provided all gas is drained from the tanks while stored. It is mandatory that the gas tanks be emptied so that in case of fire, there will be no gasoline to feed it.

We store trucks, RVs, personal watercrafts, cars, boats, landscape and construction equipment. We also have power for engine block heaters for professional drivers storing trucks over the winter.

We are a member of the Canadian Self Storage Association and also have an affiliate membership to the American Self Storage Association. We are also members of and in excellent standing with the Better Business Bureau and the Toronto Board of Trade.

Just like home insurance on your contents, you never expect to use it unless there is a case of theft or damage. While our track record speaks for itself, you are insuring for uncontrollable perils like smoke and fire damage, theft and other events that are highly unlikely. For just a few dollars per month you can have peace of mind that in the event of a problem your goods will be covered up to the extent of the optional coverage.

Yes, we can sell you content insurance for as much as you need, but sometimes you can get extended coverage with your current insurer for offsite storage. Check with your broker if this type of insurance is available.

At Jiffy Self Storage, you are not forced to rent your storage space for any specific term; just rent on a month-to-month basis. In fact, in your particular case, monthly storage is the best way to go because until you buy again and have a new closing date, only then can a final move out date be determined.

We can accept storage containers on your behalf once an agreement is signed for a storage space. You will have a week of free storage of the container for removal of your goods to a storage locker.

You can sign a monthly agreement that can be terminated on one month’s notice. This allows you to stay as long as necessary and you are not forced to pay for extended storage services other than what you actually use.
