Before you rent storage, see what it really costs.

Four questions. No sign-up, no list of your furniture, nothing to install. We don’t recommend storage companies and we don’t get paid by any of them.

What are they quoting you a month?

The real figure on the contract, not the move-in special.

$a month

How long do you think you’ll need it?

Most people underestimate this. Pick the number you’d be embarrassed by, not the one you’re hoping for.

Roughly how much are you storing?

A guess is fine — this only sets a starting value for the contents.

Roughly what’s it all worth?

We’ve filled these in from the size you picked — that’s our guess, not your things. You have a far better idea than we do, so change them.

Buy it all again$Sell it all now$

If it all vanished tomorrow, how much would you buy again?

Be honest. This is the question that decides the answer, and most people’s real number is lower than their first instinct.

Still need the monthly price.

Put the figure from the contract in above and the answer appears. We won’t assume a price — units run from under $50 to several hundred, and guessing would put a thumb on the scale.

Want this item by item?

This page works off a rough guess at what you own. The full pass goes through your things one at a time — what each is worth, what you’d actually replace, and what to store, keep, sell or give away.
