Your Complete Guide to Storage Prices at Bolt Storage
Wondering about storage unit costs? You’re not alone.
Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just need more space, understanding how storage pricing works can help you make the best decision for your budget and your belongings.
At Bolt Storage, we offer affordable, month-to-month storage with no long-term contracts—and we’re proud to offer regular discounts across all our locations.
What Affects the Cost of a Storage Unit?
Storage prices vary, but a few key factors can help explain what you’re paying for.
1. Unit Size
Think of choosing a unit like picking the right-size apartment—you want enough space, without overpaying.
- 5x5 units – great for extra boxes or holiday decor
- 10x10 units – perfect for a 1-bedroom apartment
- 10x30 units – fits furniture from a full house
2. Location
Just like housing, location affects cost. Storage in cities can cost more than rural areas.
At Bolt Storage, we adjust pricing based on your local market to keep prices competitive—no matter where you are.

You’re not just paying for space—you’re paying for peace of mind.
We include features like:

- Gated entry with keypad access

These systems protect your items and may add slightly to cost, but they're worth it for your security.
4. Climate Control
Need to store furniture, electronics, or family keepsakes?
Climate-controlled units protect against heat, cold, and humidity.

- Would selling or donating make more sense?
Be mindful of long-term costs vs. replacement value.
