How Much Does Business Storage Cost?
Business storage costs vary depending on factors like unit size and facility location, as well as amenities like climate-controlled storage, drive-up access, 24-hour access, and more. Larger self storage units cost more overall, but the cost per square foot often goes down as unit size increases, so choosing the right size for your needs can help you get the most value for your money. Location also plays a significant role in business storage prices—units in high-demand markets with limited supply generally cost more than those in smaller markets.
Unit Size | Typical Use | Price Drivers |
5x5–5x10 | Records, supplies, samples | Market, indoor vs. drive-up |
10x10–10x15 | Inventory, equipment | Climate control premium |
10x20–10x30 | Contractor gear, bulk inventory | Drive-up access, demand |

BUSINESS STORAGE SERVICES
Commercial storage isn't just storage units for businesses. At Extra Space Storage, we go above and beyond to help small businesses and large operations by offering a variety of storage unit sizes, office space for rent, safe places to park company vehicles, and more!
Self Storage
Need additional space to store equipment, documents, or inventory? A standard storage unit is the solution you're looking for. Businesses in various industries rent self storage units to get some much-needed space for an affordable monthly rate rather than expanding or relocating an office location.

Have exceptionally large storage needs that a standard storage unit can't handle? No worries! Many Extra Space Storage locations offer warehouse storage space with extra large storage units for rent and provide convenient loading docks to accommodate these larger storage needs.
Vehicle Storage
Business vehicle storage is a great solution if your employees don't have enough space at home or in neighborhood covenants. This type of storage is ideal if your company vehicles need to be in a secure area while not in use due to expensive materials and equipment inside them. With outdoor, covered, and indoor options available, there's sure to be something that will meet your needs.

Business Storage Unit FAQs

Do storage facilities accept deliveries?
Select storage facilities can accept deliveries on your behalf, but it's best to confirm with your facility before signing a rental agreement.
