Which Unit Is Right for You?

20×8 Container — $94/month

160 square feet of shipping-container-style storage with 8 feet of height clearance. A practical choice for a BGSU student storing a dorm or small apartment's worth of belongings between semesters, or a household needing a compact drive-up space. Pull up, load in, and go — ground-level access makes it as easy as it gets.

40×8 Container — $159/month

320 square feet — the equivalent of a large one-car garage in floor space, with 8 feet of height clearance. Fits a full household move, a large business inventory, or multiple rooms worth of furniture and boxes. Also available as a double-door container at $186/month for drive-through loading from both ends — useful for large or awkward loads.

5×11 Drive-Up — $100/month

55 square feet — the smallest traditional drive-up unit at this facility. Good for boxes, seasonal gear, sports equipment, or a dorm room's worth of belongings. A solid option for BGSU students who need a little more height clearance than a container offers.

10×11 Drive-Up — $122/month

110 square feet — fits a one-bedroom apartment's worth of furniture and boxes. Bedroom set, couch, small kitchen table, and several boxes. A good all-round starting point for Wood County households clearing out a room or bridging between rentals.

15×11 Drive-Up — $134/month

165 square feet — fits a two-bedroom apartment or small home. Multiple mattresses, couches, appliances, and several rows of boxes. A good middle ground for households that have outgrown a 10×11 but don't need a full 20-foot unit.

20×11 Drive-Up — $185/month

220 square feet — fits a three-bedroom home including large appliances, multiple mattress sets, couches, dining furniture, and dozens of boxes. A strong choice for a full household move or renovation storage in Bowling Green or Wood County.

25×11 Drive-Up — $185/month

275 square feet of drive-up space. Check current pricing online for the most up-to-date rate on this size.

30×11 Drive-Up — $179/month

330 square feet — room for a four to five bedroom household, a contractor's equipment inventory, or extended business stock. One of the largest drive-up units at this facility with plenty of space to organise rather than just stack.

30×15 Drive-Up — $215/month

450 square feet — the widest drive-up unit at this facility. Built for workshop loads, contractor stock, multi-room household storage, or any situation where width matters as much as depth. The largest traditional drive-up option at 15493 King Road.

30×10 Outdoor Parking — $49/month

A long uncovered parking space with 14 feet of height clearance — accommodates a full-length RV, fifth-wheel trailer, or a work truck and trailer combination. The most affordable option at this facility and a practical choice for Wood County residents needing seasonal vehicle storage along the I-75 corridor.

‍

What Is Drive-Up Container Storage?

Container storage at this facility uses shipping-container-format units — essentially a 20- or 40-foot shipping container converted to private storage, with wide doors and ground-level drive-up access. You pull your vehicle directly up to the container door to load and unload, with 8 feet of height clearance for tall furniture, stacked boxes, or bulky equipment. Container storage is a practical and often more affordable alternative to traditional drive-up units for anyone needing straightforward, weatherproof drive-up space in Bowling Green.

What Affects the Price of a Storage Unit in Bowling Green?

  • Unit size — larger units cost more.
  • Storage type — container units and traditional drive-up units are priced differently.
  • Availability — when a unit type is nearly full, rates tend to be higher.
  • Location — rates vary by facility and local market.
  • Active discounts — we offer discounts of up to 75% off depending on current availability.

According to the Self Storage Association, the average American rents a storage unit for 14 months — so getting the size right from the start matters more than most people expect.
