Self storage unit prices depend on various factors, including space, location, and the duration you intend to use the storage space. Whether you’re someone seeking a storage facility for belongings, someone moving homes requiring temporary furniture storage, or a business owner looking to securely store inventory or goods long-term, a storage unit can be a practical and cost-effective solution for safely storing your items.
What Affects Self Storage Prices?
As we’ve mentioned, storage price can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the unit, the length of your tenancy, and the level of security you need for your items. Not all storage facilities provide the same security measures, and some that offer lower prices may not have the features you are looking for.
How Unit Size Affects Storage Price
Most storage facilities will offer different unit sizes so individuals only pay for the amount of space they need. Storage prices differ depending on the square footage of your chosen unit, with larger storage units of 100 – 150ft costing more than smaller 25 – 50ft options.
Consider the Length of your Tenancy
The length of time you need the storage unit will also impact the price. Many facilities offer discounted rates for long-term rentals, making it more affordable if you plan to store items over several months or even years. For shorter periods, you may pay slightly more on a per-week basis, but the flexibility can be advantageous if you only need temporary storage. At Atrium Self Storage, we cater to both short-term and long-term needs, so you can select the best option based on your requirements.
Unit Location
Alongside the size and tenancy duration, the specific location of your unit within the facility, such as the floor level, can influence your self storage costs. Self storage units on higher floors are often more affordable than those on ground level, as they are typically less convenient for loading and unloading, which can be especially inconvenient should you need to visit your storage unit frequently. If you don’t plan to access your unit often, opting for a higher floor can help you save on your storage costs. Atrium Self Storage ensures that all units, regardless of floor, are easily accessible, but you should choose your unit location based on your budget and convenience preferences.
Padlocks
At many self storage facilities, a padlock or secure lock will not be provided. Although the storage facility will provide you with the space to hold your items, it won’t necessarily provide you with the added security you need to make sure your items are safe.
Contents Insurance
Although self storage facilities offer space for you to safely store your items, they are not responsible for the contents of your unit. Before placing your items in your storage unit, you may want to consider getting contents insurance to protect your belongings, especially if they are of high value. Self-storage facilities operating within the SSA (Self Storage Association) require you to have contents insurance before you store your items with them, and having contents insurance provides extra peace of mind that your assets are covered should something happen to them.
As a member of the Self Storage Association, Atrium Self Storage requires all customers to hold valid self storage insurance and require proof of insurance upon booking. To save customers time and money, we also offer competitive insurance quotes from trusted insurance providers, helping to ensure all our customer’s assets that are stored with us, are under the best protection possible.
