The comparison

Every facility, every fee we could find

Sorted by month-2 all-in price. Order is never paid for. "Not published" means we couldn't find it — not that it's free.

Month 2 = advertised rent, assuming no increase (none of these facilities publish their rate-increase schedule). 3-month total = 3× rent + admin fee. Insurance/protection plans are required at most facilities but prices are often not published; they typically add to every month.

Fee traps

Five charges to ask about before you sign

  • The ad shows rent. The lease shows everything else.

    Ask for the month-one total in writing — rent, admin, insurance, deposit, lock — before you hand over a card.

  • Admin fee

    One-time charge at many facilities. Some waive it if you reserve online.

  • Required insurance

    A monthly protection plan, rarely shown in the advertised rate. Ask if your homeowner's policy counts.

  • Teaser rates

    Very low web rates are often introductory. Ask the date and size of the first increase.

  • Deposit and lock

    Some facilities require both, and some only sell their own lock.

  • Upper floors

    The cheapest units are often upstairs. Check elevator access and cart availability.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before renting

Short, plain answers. If a facility won't put a price in writing, treat that as an answer too.

Why is "month 2" the number that matters?

Month 1 often carries a promo or one-time fees. Month 2 shows the real recurring price you'll keep paying.

Do facilities pay you?

Some may, through affiliate links. It never changes the prices we show or the order. See the full disclosure below the comparison table.

How do I actually get the advertised price?

Reserve online, ask for the rate in writing, and ask when the first rent increase is scheduled.

What does "not published" mean?

We couldn't find the fee in the listing or on the facility site. It does not mean the fee is zero.
