Wondering about storage unit costs? Let's break down everything that goes into storage pricing, so you can make the best choice for your budget and needs. At Bolt Storage, we pride ourselves on offering competitive rates and regular money-saving deals across all our locations.
Factors Affecting Storage Unit Prices
Size Matters, finding the right storage unit size is like choosing the perfect apartment – you want enough space without paying for square footage you don't need. Our 5x5 units are perfect for seasonal decorations and extra boxes, while 10x30 units can handle an entire household's worth of furniture. Need help choosing? Our storage calculator can help you find your ideal fit.
Location and Accessibility:
Location just like real estate, influences storage unit prices. While urban facilities might cost more than rural ones, we constantly monitor local markets to ensure competitive rates at every Bolt Storage location. Plus, we strategically place our facilities to offer convenient access where you need it most.
Security You Can Trust:
Your peace of mind is worth the investment. Our facilities feature comprehensive security systems, including 24/7 video surveillance, and secure gate access. While these features might affect pricing, they ensure your belongings stay safe and sound.
Climate Control Benefits:
Think of climate-controlled units as a temperature-perfect environment for your sensitive items. While they cost a bit more, they're essential for protecting valuable furniture, electronics, and family heirlooms from extreme temperatures and humidity.
Average Storage Unit Prices
Keep in mind that storage unit prices can vary significantly based on location, availability, and current market conditions. While these figures serve as a general guide to help you budget, your actual costs might differ. Great news: we frequently offer promotional deals with up to 75% off for the first two months at most locations, subject to availability.
Small Units (5x5):
Your cozy storage solution, perfect for holiday decorations or that overflow from your closets. Typically $60-$90 monthly – about the cost of a nice dinner out.
Medium Units (10x10):
The versatile choice for apartment dwellers or home renovators. At $100-$160 monthly, it's like paying for a gym membership to keep your space clutter-free.
Large Units (10x30):
Need a temporary home for an entire household? These units run around $290 monthly – a smart investment when you're between homes or managing a major life transition.
Protecting Your Belongings: Storage Insurance Matters
Insurance Coverage Explained:
Think of storage insurance as a safety net for your stored treasures. Most policies cover common risks like theft, vandalism, and weather damage. It's worth checking your existing renters or homeowners insurance – you might already have some coverage!
Understanding Coverage Limits:
Don't assume all your items are fully covered. Many policies cap storage unit coverage at a percentage of your total coverage. We recommend reviewing your policy details or chatting with your insurance provider to ensure adequate protection.
Making the Most of Your Storage Investment
Perfect for Life Transitions
Storage units shine during moves, home staging, or renovations. A temporary unit can help you declutter your home for better staging photos and showings – potentially adding thousands to your sale price.
Long-Term Storage Tips
Planning to store items longer than a year? Consider this: the annual cost of storage versus the replacement value of your items. Sometimes selling or donating might make more sense, especially for items you're unsure about keeping.
Smart Storage Alternatives
Before committing to a unit, explore options like peer-to-peer storage apps or space-sharing with family. But remember – professional storage facilities offer security and peace of mind that's hard to match.
Staying on Top of Payments
Protecting Your Credit Score
While regular storage payments typically don't affect your credit score, missed payments that go to collections can impact your financial health. Setting up automatic payments ensures you never miss a due date.
Understanding Storage Auctions
Missing payments could lead to your unit being auctioned – a situation nobody wants. Stay current on payments to protect your belongings and maintain good standing.
