Self Storage FAQs

Self-storage prices vary by location, unit size, features, and availability. Smaller units typically cost less than larger ones, and indoor and climate-controlled units may be priced differently than standard units. Public Storage offers month-to-month rentals, so you only pay for the time you need.

Specials vary by location and unit type, so checking current rates and promotions in your area is the best way to find the most up-to-date offers.

Start by taking inventory of what you plan to store and how often you'll need to access it. A small 5x5 unit often fits boxes or small household items, while medium sizes like 10x10 work well for multiple rooms' worth of belongings. Larger units, such as 10x20 or 10x30, are designed for bigger items or business needs.

Indoor Storage Units:Located inside a building with hallway access. Outdoor Drive-Up Units:Ground-level units you can drive up to for quick loading and unloading. Climate-Controlled Units:Designed to help maintain more consistent temperature and humidity levels. Availability varies by location. Vehicle Storage:Options may include parking spaces or enclosed units for cars or small trailers. RV or Boat Storage:Typically offered as open or covered parking spaces at select locations. Business Storage:Units suited for storing inventory, equipment, or supplies without the cost of commercial property. Features and availability vary by facility.

Climate-controlled storage helps maintain more consistent temperature and humidity levels inside the unit. It's commonly used for items like books, fabrics, electronics, or other belongings that can react to extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Climate-controlled storage is available at many—but not all—locations, so availability depends on the facility.

Drive-up access refers to a ground-level storage unit that you can pull your vehicle right up to. This makes loading and unloading quicker because you don't need to use hallways, elevators, or stairs. It's often chosen for storing larger items or boxes you'll want to move in and out easily.

Some storage facilities offer 24/7 access as an added feature, while others provide extended access hours. Availability varies by property, so it's best to check your location's access hours when renting a unit.

Common security features include:
  • Gated access with individualized entry codes
  • Bright lighting throughout the property
  • Onsite staff during office hours
  • Video surveillance
  • Well-maintained fencing and facility grounds
  • Storage unit locks available for purchase

Check your facility's offered features.

Convenience depends on your needs, but many renters prefer:
  • Drive-up units for fast loading

  • Locations near home, work, or major roads
  • Online account management and payment options

Public Storage maintains facilities with routine property checks, regular cleaning of common areas, and ongoing pest-control efforts. We also provide clean, well-kept hallways and entry points, and staff monitor the property throughout the week.

Public Storage facilities offer a range of units, from the most affordable solution, storage lockers (for just a few things) and small units such as 5x5 storage units, to large units that include 10x25 storage units or even larger – sometimes accommodating RVs and oversized vehicles. We’ve compiled a storage unit size guide that can help you understand the rough estimates of what each storage unit may be able to hold.

Use sturdy boxes and label everything. We always recommend moving larger, heavier items into your unit first, as well as anything you won’t need to access frequently. As you pack from the back of the space to the front, ensure that you leave an aisleway – especially in those larger units.

Climate controlled self storage units feature mechanisms that help take the edge off the temperature and humidity found outdoors. Our climate-controlled storage units come in a range of sizes, although availability may vary at your local Public Storage facility.

Among other things, prohibited items include foods and liquids, hazardous materials, illegal items, plants and animals, and items exceeding value limitations. Please consult your rental agreement for additional information.
