Self Storage Unit Prices: Compare the Costs

Compare Self Storage Unit Prices

The prices of self storage units differ based on the size category needed by the customer: small, medium, large, or extra-large. Additionally, factors such as location, rental duration, additional services, and availability can influence the overall cost of storage.

Let's look at each of these factor's in a bit more detail:

Unit size

Selecting the ideal self storage unit involves maximising its space efficiently to save some $$. Utilising uniform-sized boxes that stack well and strategically placing large items can help achieve this goal.

Unit position in the storage facility

The cost of a storage unit varies based on its location within the facility. Facilities often offer indoor units on the ground or first floor, as well as units with drive-up access. A unit on the first floor typically costs less than one on the ground floor of the same size.

Location

Storage expenses vary based on proximity to major cities. Real estate prices are generally lower further from the city. Opting for storage facilities located at least 30-45 minutes away from your home can yield significant savings, especially for long-term storage where frequent access to stored items is not required.

Rental duration

Typically, the minimum storage period is one month. Some self storage facilities provide discounts for longer rental periods. When you book with StorageScout, you get an additional discount to what the storage facility has on offer.
