Long Term Storage Costs
Long-term storage prices depend on the volume of the stored items and the duration of the storage period. Needless to say, the bigger storage unit you need and the longer your items stay in storage, the more you will have to pay.
However, you may be able to take advantage of some special offers or discounts (such as free-first-month promotions or long-term storage discounts), so make sure you call us at (800) 403-7552 in order to get an accurate estimate of your long-term storage costs.

Tips for long term storage of boxes, items and furniture
- Use clean, sturdy boxes that will ensure good protection to your items. Keep in mind that long-term storage boxes that are similar in size will be easier to stack and access;
- Avoid packing items in plastic bags as plastic can trap humidity and result in moisture build-up and/or mold growth;
- Clean your items well and make sure they’re fully dry before packing them for long-term storage;
- Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap and/or packing paper and use plenty of padding and cushioning materials when packing them in boxes;
- Fill the boxes tightly (half-empty cartons may collapse when stacked) and seal them well;
- Label the boxes as fully and clearly as possible;
- Disassemble large furniture to better protect each individual part and to save some space in the rental storage unit. Put small hardware parts (bolts, hinges, etc.) in sealable plastic bags and tape them to the corresponding furniture to prevent losing the small pieces. Cover the furniture pieces with blankets or specialized fabric furniture covers to protect them from dust, dirt, and moisture;
- Clean and disinfect household appliances and leave their doors slightly ajar to allow for proper ventilation. Tie down and secure any attached cables and hoses;
- Consider placing your items on wooden pallets or shelves to keep them above the ground (this will allow air to flow freely around the boxes and furniture and will help prevent mold growth and other related problems).
One last piece of advice – create a detailed inventory of the items you want to put into long-term storage and prepare them as well as possible in order to ensure their safety and your peace of mind.
