Across the rates facilities publish on their own websites, StorageAtlas sees a median of $35/month for a 5×5, from 4,379 listed units; $88/month for a 10×10, from 6,350 listed units; $145/month for a 10×20, from 5,538 listed units. Half the units in each size are listed above the figure and half below. What you pay depends on the city, the facility, and whether the unit is climate controlled — and the rate on a listing is the one their website showed when we last read it, not a quote.

A 5×5 (25 sq ft) fits a small closet or a few boxes. A 5×10 (50 sq ft) holds the contents of a small room. A 10×10 (100 sq ft) fits a 1-bedroom apartment. A 10×20 (200 sq ft) fits a 2–3 bedroom home. Most people over-estimate — stacking boxes and taking furniture apart usually lets a smaller unit do the job. Go a size up only if you have large items that cannot be dismantled, like an appliance or a sofa bed.

A climate controlled unit is held at a steadier temperature and humidity through the year than an outdoor or drive-up unit, which is what protects electronics, wooden furniture, artwork, documents and clothing. Operators price it above a standard unit; the facility's own listing is where to check by how much.

Search your city and sort by price. 5,979 of our 16,686 listings publish a monthly rate, so you can compare those side by side; for the rest, ask us and we will ring the facility. Look for first-month-free promotions, and compare drive-up units against interior ones rather than assuming either is cheaper.

Yes, and no account is needed. We read facility websites to surface the rates they publish. If you ask us about a facility, someone from StorageAtlas rings you first to check what you actually need, and nothing reaches a facility before that call.
