Moving in Washington, D.C. comes with rules that most students don't learn until it's too late. Georgetown and American University students can't get residential parking permits under the city's ANC regulations. Moving trucks require a temporary parking permit from the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). Many apartment buildings in Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle require advance elevator reservations for any move. And double-parking? Towing is immediate and heavily enforced.

Storage Scholars cuts through all of it. We pick up your belongings directly from your dorm room, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you return. No permits. No elevator scheduling. No parking tickets.

D.C. summers regularly exceed 90 degrees with punishing humidity, which makes climate-controlled storage essential for protecting electronics, wooden furniture, and clothing. Our secure facility maintains consistent temperature and humidity year-round, keeping your belongings safe whether you're heading home, interning on the Hill, or studying abroad.

Summer storage runs from your spring move-out date through fall move-in. We coordinate pickup schedules with each university's housing calendar, so whether Georgetown releases students a week before GW, we handle the timing for you.

Arriving at a DC university for the first time? Forget about driving into the district and finding parking. Our ship-to-school service lets you send your belongings ahead, and we deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. For international students or families traveling from out of state, this eliminates the most stressful part of the transition.

D.C.'s zone parking system, strict move-in regulations, and building-specific requirements make every move a logistical exercise. Our team is familiar with the permit process, building rules, and neighborhood parking constraints at every campus we serve. We handle the physical move so you can focus on starting the semester.
