The cost of a self storage unit largely depends on its size and whether it is climate controlled or not, although it can also be influenced by the location of the facility where it is located and the other features that it has. When looking for a self storage unit to rent, it is important that you understand the costs associated, aside from the monthly rental fee. Here are some of them.

The standard monthly rental fee for a 5-by-5-foot self storage unit would cost around $50 every month, while a 20-by-20-foot unit can cost about $225. There is a wide range of sizes available for storage units and the size is usually the primary factor that affects the monthly rental cost. To make sure that you would be getting the most out of what you would be paying, it is important to assess how much space you really need.

Whether the storage unit would be climate controlled or not would also affect the month rental cost. Climate controlled storage units would naturally come at a higher price tag. For instance, a 10-by-15-foot climate controlled unit could cost around $125 to $150 every month, whereas one of the same size which is not climate controlled could be rented for just $75 to $130 every month.

Another factor that affects the cost of the storage unit would be its portability. If you want to get a storage unit which is portable like portable-on-demand or POD storage unit, you would most likely have to pay more. For example, an 8-by-8-by-12-foot POD storage unit could cost about $220 a month.

You should also factor in the additional costs that you may need to pay for such as the lock you would be using for your unit. You may also be required to pay a security deposit to cover any damages that may result during the time that you would be using the unit. You should also check the policy of the facility regarding late payments and late fees.
