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.

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
Features can vary widely by location, so reviewing your facility's offerings is recommended.

Reviews
Secure and very easy to access with your code even after hours
Kim helped with account. Thanks
Good service
Quick rental I didn’t incur any issues good location
Kim has great service
A big “ Thank You” to Adam and Jaquan with assisting me with getting my account straightened out and back on the tracks. I’m very happy with the outcome and will continue to use Public Storage.
Easy online setup. Not fond of the kiosk, but the representative was very helpful
Good place to store stuff that you don’t have room for or don’t want to store in your home. Monthly rates are a lot less than some other self-storage companies I researched. This location is climate-controlled and has elevators. The only thing lacking is a human on the premises though they do have a kiosk in the former rental office where you can get in touch with an actual person who is very helpful. When I first started renting at this Public Storage location there was an employee that would give tours and explain everything. They also used to sell packing supplies but that was discontinued when the kiosk was set up. All in all I would recommend this Public Storage location.
After a frustrating ordeal with Uhaul storage, I called Public Storage (right next door to the uhaul!) Their customer service is EXCELLENT. I rented storage for the first time and the lady was so friendly and helpful. I didn't have to hold for long when I called, and the whole experience was just quick, efficient, and not at all complicated.
If I ever need storage, they're the only business I'm calling!
We're having a positive experience so far. Their large unit is not one that I would consider large unless you can stack everything high.
Ron is the man!! Thanks Ron for all your help!
Kim helped me move into a bigger unit very quickly with no hassle! Very polite and friendly! Thank you Kim!

Kristi is professional and personable as well. She is very knowledgeable and helped me with all my questions. I can't thank her enough! Thanks Kristi!
Kristi is my favorite employee here. I'll never go to any other public storage facility but this one because of her. She was friendly from day one to move out. In my opinion, this woman needs a raise!!!! Or, at the very least, a darn trophy for her excellent service.
Kristi & Sadyah are so sweet and very helpful. Our unit was perfect for what we needed. Which is why we keep coming back! Very easily accessible!
Kristi was extremely efficient, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. She made the process quick and easy! 😊
Kristi's professionalism was very pleasant to experience. She was very informative and enlightening. This is indeed a quality any business owner and or manager should accommodate their customers with. It's truly a lost art and Kristi freely operates her day to day tasks conscious of its importance. Thank you Kristi for making me feel welcomed and happy I chose your location.
Kristi was very helpful to me. She was extremely knowledgeable of pricing, sizing, and unit locations. She was patient and kind when I changed my mind about unit size.
