Find & Compare Storage Facilities in Your Area!

Storage facilities rent units by the month for furniture, boxes, inventory, vehicles, boats and RVs, with options such as climate control, drive-up access, indoor hallways and gated yards. Visitors here are usually between homes, clearing a house after a death, parking a boat for the winter, or running a small business out of a space too small for its stock.

No license is required to run a storage facility in most states, but state self-storage laws set the rules for late fees, lien sales and notice, and those rules should appear in the rental agreement. Ask what the monthly rate includes, how often and by how much rates rise, what the admin fee and lock cost are, and whether insurance is required and sold by the facility. Walk the unit before signing and check for water staining, pests and working lighting. Confirm access hours and whether gate codes work on holidays. If the goal is to get rid of things rather than keep them, junk removal companies cost less than years of rent, and movers can load the unit for you.

The facilities listed here wrote their own entries, and a person reviewed each before it appeared. If you operate self-storage, apply to get listed — free, and a few minutes is all it takes.
