From De Soto

Storage for a De Soto move, 20 minutes away.

Free State Storage is about 15 miles and 20 minutes from downtown De Soto, and about 16 minutes from the Panasonic Energy battery plant on the east side of town. The drive is K-10 west into Lawrence, where the highway becomes East 23rd Street.

A move into a new house rarely lines up with the end of the old lease. A drive-up unit bridges the gap: a 10x15 holds a two-bedroom home and a 10x20 a three-bedroom house. Rent online, get the gate code on your phone, and unload straight from the truck.

The gate is open 6 AM to 10 PM every day, so shift workers can get in before or after a shift. Rentals are month-to-month with ten days' notice, so you pay only for the months between closings.

Quick answers.

How far is Free State Storage from De Soto, KS?

About 15 miles and 20 minutes from downtown De Soto. Take K-10 west into Lawrence, where it becomes East 23rd Street; the facility is at 2400 Franklin Rd.

Is there storage near the Panasonic plant in De Soto?

Free State Storage is about 16 minutes from the Panasonic Energy plant on Astra Parkway, west on K-10. The gate is open 6 AM to 10 PM every day, which suits early and late shifts.

Can I store my things between houses while I move to De Soto?

Yes. Rentals are month-to-month with ten days' notice, so a unit can hold everything between a lease ending and a closing, and you stop paying when you move it out.

Are the units climate controlled?

No. Every unit here is a standard drive-up unit. They're a good fit for furniture, boxes, tools, and vehicles; for anything heat-sensitive, ask us how to pack it.

How quickly can I move in?

Same day. Rent online and your personal gate code is yours right away — no paperwork and no office to visit.

How do I get the discount?

Students get 15% off with a valid student ID, and active-duty military, veterans and first responders get 15% off. Mention it when you sign up and we apply it to your account. Student and military discounts cannot be combined with each other or with the move-in offer.
