Moving Services in Charlotte
UNC Charlotte's spring move-out puts nearly 6,000 on-campus residents into motion at the same time. The University City area -- where most student housing clusters along North Tryon Street and University City Boulevard -- becomes a traffic bottleneck as students, parents, and rental trucks all converge on the same few roads. Off-campus students in apartments along W.T. Harris Boulevard and the light rail corridor face their own crunch: leases expiring before fall move-in, and a gap where your belongings need somewhere to go.
Storage Scholars eliminates the scramble. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you're ready. No renting a truck in a city where every major rental fleet is already spoken for by move-out weekend. No hauling boxes in Charlotte's summer heat, which regularly pushes into the mid-90s with humidity that makes it feel over 100. No leaving your stuff in a friend's un-air-conditioned apartment hoping nothing gets damaged. One booking, one price, and we handle the rest.
Charlotte's summer heat is serious and sustained. Temperatures routinely reach the mid-90s from June through August, and when combined with the Piedmont region's humidity, the heat index regularly exceeds 100 degrees. Inside a non-climate-controlled storage unit, those conditions intensify. Electronics overheat. Vinyl records warp. Wooden furniture dries and cracks. Adhesives on book bindings weaken. Even clothing can develop mildew in humid, stagnant air.
Storage Scholars provides fully climate-controlled storage built for Carolina summers. Our team coordinates with UNC Charlotte's housing calendar, arrives at your room with packing supplies, and handles the entire move. Your belongings stay in a temperature-regulated facility from May through August -- protected from the kind of heat and humidity that defines Charlotte's summer months.
Charlotte is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast, and UNC Charlotte draws a significant portion of its students from outside the metro. Whether you're moving from the Northeast, the Midwest, or from elsewhere in North Carolina, driving to Charlotte with a car full of dorm supplies isn't always feasible. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Charlotte facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. You arrive on campus, and your stuff is already there.
UNC Charlotte's University City location comes with specific logistical challenges. The campus sits at the intersection of several major roads -- University City Boulevard, North Tryon Street, and W.T. Harris Boulevard -- and traffic congestion during move-in and move-out weekends is significant. On-campus residence halls like Laurel, Elm, and Hawthorn each have their own loading and access patterns. Off-campus apartments along the light rail corridor and in the surrounding University City neighborhoods add another layer of complexity. We handle the navigation, the parking logistics, and the heavy lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Storage Scholars provides full-service student storage in Charlotte with doorstep pickup, climate-controlled storage, and doorstep delivery at one bundled price. We serve UNC Charlotte, Queens University, and Johnson C. Smith students. University Storage on University City Boulevard specifically targets UNC Charlotte students, and national chains like Extra Space Storage and SmartStop also have facilities nearby. Storage Scholars differentiates by handling the entire process -- pickup, packing, storage, and delivery -- so students don't need to rent trucks, buy supplies, or make multiple trips.
A 5x5 non-climate-controlled unit in Charlotte runs $40 to $47 per month. Climate-controlled units of the same size cost $45 to $65. The average unit across all sizes is $141 per month. When you add a truck rental, packing supplies, and gas, a DIY summer costs $350 to $550. Storage Scholars' all-inclusive pricing covers pickup, packing materials, climate-controlled storage, and delivery -- typically competitive with DIY once you factor in every cost.
Yes. Charlotte summers regularly hit the mid-90s with high humidity, and a non-climate-controlled unit can reach internal temperatures well above 100 degrees. At those temperatures, electronics overheat, wooden furniture dries out and cracks, and plastic items can warp. The humidity adds mold and mildew risk. Climate-controlled storage keeps your belongings in a safe temperature range and manages moisture levels. Every Storage Scholars plan includes it.
Book Storage Scholars before finals week. We schedule pickup around UNC Charlotte's move-out calendar. Our team arrives at your dorm or apartment, packs everything with our materials, labels each item, and transports it to our climate-controlled facility. You check out of your room and focus on your exams. When fall semester starts, we deliver to your new room -- whether that's a different residence hall, an apartment on North Tryon, or a house in University City.
Yes. We serve students at Queens University of Charlotte and Johnson C. Smith University with the same full-service model. Queens' Uptown Charlotte location and Johnson C. Smith's west Charlotte campus are both within our coverage area. Davidson College students, located about 20 miles north of Charlotte, are also served.
UNC Charlotte's campus is in University City, an area with high traffic volume on North Tryon Street and University City Boulevard. During move-out and move-in weekends, traffic congestion is significant. Each residence hall has different loading zones, elevator access, and checkout procedures. Off-campus apartments scattered along the light rail corridor and surrounding neighborhoods add complexity. Storage Scholars' team knows these logistics and plans accordingly to ensure efficient pickup and delivery.
Book by early April. Charlotte's student storage market tightens quickly as move-out approaches, and truck rentals near UNC Charlotte sell out early. Booking early with Storage Scholars locks in your pickup window and secures your spot. Early-bird discounts are available for students who reserve before the spring rush.
