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.

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

Today I had a pleasant experience and help from a young lady working there at the Tacoma location. I had trouble with my lock and she supplied a new one and everything is great now, thanks.
Hope was very helpful and answered all of my questions. She’s a great property manager.
Joelle was a great help today! She is all about customer service and is tremendous blessing!
Joelle was excellent! She gave great customer service and she is really about the people !
Joelle was excellent today in assisting me with finding the right unit and completing my reservation. She provided exceptional customer service.
Lovely manager! (I am so sorry I forgot your name) She was very very helpful. Got me a cart to help move my items to my storage space and even helped me move one of my heaviest items to my space. She set wonderful expectations for me about what to expect occupying a space. So so friendly. Thank you so much!
Joelle was great !. she followed up and got things in the right place after i made a mess of it. first time anyone for a storage facility has followed up and made thingss right.......
Joelle is beyond helpful and is genuinely excited to answer questions and go above and beyond to offer good service. Having someone be so friendly and positive makes you feel secure and supported in leaving your stuff there. I trust her with all my heart that she would never let anything bad happen to my unit, and made me feel it was worth it to invest in a big unit, which I've never done before. I feel she would help me when needed like it's her own. Great service, give Joelle a raise!!! 😊
Joelle was very kind and helpful during my visit today!!
Had this storage for about 4 months now and everything is still perfect the way I left it . Even when I accidentally forgot to lock my storage , the workers (Joelle) were able to keep it locked while we were out of town . Everything was still there and the place is super clean . Joelle is amazing helping out with what you need! She’s our go to when we stop by our storage 😁.
Great place, the property manager was very helpful and explained in detail everything about the property, definitely would recommend this place for long term rental.
Hope has been very helpful and made things extremely easy.
Kept clean an very respectful
Came in to ask about a storage unit and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I have never rented a storage unit before so I had lots of questions, thank you Travis for answering all of them and having a great attitude through my interrogation!
Hope, was the greatest representative for a storage facility that I have encounter and have been renting units for over 25 years. You have a great person running this center she is awesome. Mike Nolan
Travis was wonderful and answered all our questions , showed us around ! Super friendly 10 out of 10 would recommend doing business with him:)
It’s not very frequent that I visit the facility. Mostly it’s to just throw stuff into my unit and forget about it.
However, I noticed my rent had gone up and was a little upset at the size of the increase. In hindsight it may have been an over reaction.
I made a trip to the office and was met with the property manager, Hope. She was understanding when I discussed the issue, and instead of telling me to kick rocks, she moved me into a same size unit that was way cheaper than what I would have been paying. And it was only a couple doors down.
We went ahead and scheduled a move in date, and she was nothing but supportive and helpful with my issues and getting them resolved.
I’ve ran into her almost every time I’ve visited the facility, and every time she’s been a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend asking for her if you are to visit.
VERY PLEASED
Went to get a storage today Hope was amazing definitely got me the best deal so sweet!!!

I was a customer with this establishment for 3 years, and I must say it was one of the better storage experiences I ever had. The manager Hope, is a godsend and every time I dealt with her she was always courteous and professional. This facility every time I was there I never saw it to be tacky or dirty like most places I've passed by and seen. The rest of the staff has always been courteous and friendly and once again thank you Hope the manager for all the hard work that you do and always treating us like family.
Hope was truly amazing today! She went above and beyond helping myself and my movers! Amazing customer service!
I am leaving this review because of the management team here in Tacoma. The Manager by the name of Hope exemplifies customer service and always has a happy genuine smile that is ready to help me here. I choose to store my stuff here because I trust the people with the keys! Chanelle the District Manager did a great job picking out her staff. I have brought up numerous suggestions and or complaints, all were listened to with professionalism and replied with honesty. Thank you Hope and Chanelle for taking such good care of us. You all have really turned this place around. Thanks!
