How much does Extra Space Storage cost?
Extra Space Storage typically costs anywhere from $25 to $500 per month depending on the location, the size of the unit, and whether you need a climate-controlled unit. Extra Space Storage’s rates vary based on a number of different factors.
Storage unit size and features
One of the biggest determining factors in your monthly rental rate is the size of your storage unit. A small 5 ft. x 5 ft. unit can cost as little as $25 per month, while a large 20 ft. x 25 ft. storage unit at that same facility could run closer to $300 per month.
Storage features such as climate control or first-floor access can affect your monthly rent as well. Expect to pay a bit more if you opt for a unit with either of these features, regardless of your storage unit size.

Location
Much like any other storage facility, Extra Space Storage’s prices fluctuate from location to location.
For instance, a 10 ft. x 10 ft. climate-controlled unit in Salt Lake City costs $103 per month, whereas the same unit in Harlem costs $345 per month.

Extra Space Storage protects your stuff
When you rent a storage unit, you aren’t just trying to clear out your garage so you can finally park there. You also want to make sure the items you store stay put until you’re finally ready to bring them home (or embrace the inevitable and sell them on eBay).
Extra Space storage offers discounted moving truck rentals
If you’re planning on renting anything larger than a 5 ft. x 5 ft. storage unit, you’ll need something with more cargo room than your trusty ol’ hatchback to carry your belongings to the storage facility.
Renting a moving truck is generally your best solution. Although it’s an extra cost, Extra Space Storage can help you minimize that added expense.
