If you need a storage unit but do not have time to visit an office during business hours, you can rent one online from start to finish. Storage Haven rents every unit at its three North Louisiana locations online: Shreveport at 6200 W Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, Dubberly at 532 Shadows Ln near Minden, and Plain Dealing at 101 LA-3. This guide walks through how online rental works, what it costs, what to have ready, and what to know before you move in.

Rent a Storage Unit Online: How It Works at Storage Haven

There is no office at any Storage Haven location, so there is no counter to visit and no paperwork to pick up. The whole rental happens on your phone or computer:

Choose your location. Pick Shreveport, Dubberly, or Plain Dealing on the Rent Now page.
Pick your unit. The rental page shows the units open today with their current prices.
Sign the lease digitally. Read and sign the lease online. No printing or scanning.
Set up AutoPay. Add a bank account (ACH) or a credit or debit card.
Get your move-in details. Your unit number, and your gate code at the gated locations, are sent to you when you sign up.

Most renters finish in a few minutes and move in the same day. Rentals are month-to-month, with no long-term contract.

What It Costs to Rent Online

Prices are the same whether you rent at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. Here are the current monthly rates at each location, paying by ACH (bank account):

Shreveport: from $45.79 for a 5×10 indoor unit, up to $203.50 for a 10×25 drive-up unit
Dubberly: $117.01 for a 10×15 unit
Plain Dealing: $61.05 for a 10×10 drive-up unit

Paying by credit or debit card runs about 2% higher than ACH. Your first month is prorated, so you only pay for the days you use. For a full list of Shreveport sizes, see Self Storage in Shreveport, LA: 5 Unit Sizes and Prices.

Open units change daily, so the rental page for each location is the place to see what is open right now:

What to Have Ready Before You Start

A few things make the online rental go quickly:

A rough idea of the size you need. Make a quick list of the furniture and number of boxes you plan to store.
Your payment method. Your bank account and routing number for ACH, or a credit or debit card.
Proof of insurance, or a plan to add protection. Every renter needs either the tenant protection plan through Storage Haven or proof of homeowners or renters insurance.
A lock, depending on the location. Shreveport renters bring their own lock. Dubberly renters get a free lock and a welcome bag at move-in.

Why Renting Online Works Well in North Louisiana

Many people who need storage are in the middle of something else: a move, a remodel, a military reassignment out of Barksdale AFB, or clearing out a family home. Renting online fits around that.

No office hours. You can rent late at night or on a Sunday, then move in when it suits you.
No waiting. There is no line, no tour to schedule, and no paperwork to drop off.
Same-day move-in. Your details arrive when you sign up, so you can load the truck and go.
A real person if you need one. Storage Haven is veteran-owned and family-operated, and an owner answers the phone or a text at (318) 754-5050.

24/7 Access at All Three Locations

Every Storage Haven location is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Each site has its own setup:

Shreveport: fully fenced, coded entry gate, two camera systems, and well lit. Indoor and drive-up units in southwest Shreveport along W Bert Kouns.
Dubberly: fenced and gated with a coded entry gate and a camera system, serving the Greater Minden area. See Storage Units Near Minden, LA.
Plain Dealing: an open drive-up property on Highway 3 with cameras and lighting, serving north Bossier Parish. See Storage Units in Plain Dealing, LA.

The units at Storage Haven are not climate-controlled. If you are storing items that need a set temperature, plan with that in mind.

Paying Rent and Managing Your Unit Online

Once you move in, everything stays online. Rent is due on the 1st of each month and is late after the 5th. You can pay online 24/7 by ACH or card, and AutoPay is strongly encouraged so a payment is never missed. Each location has its own tenant login, linked from the menu at storagehaven.net.

When you are ready to move out, give 10 days notice by text, empty the unit, and send a photo of the cleaned unit. Move-out is not prorated, so plan your notice around the 1st.

Questions to Ask Before You Rent a Storage Unit

Whether you rent from Storage Haven or anywhere else, a few questions save trouble later:

Can I get to my unit any time, or only during set hours?
Is the rental month-to-month, or is there a contract?
Is the first month prorated?
Do I need my own lock and my own insurance?
Is the unit climate-controlled, or just covered?
How much notice do I need to give when I move out?

At Storage Haven, the answers are on the FAQ page, and an owner can answer anything else by phone or text.
