Renting a storage space from Public Storage comes with an array of added benefits to make sure you get the most out of your storage experience. These advantages include:

Cost of Storage in Montreal, QC

The pricing for storage solutions is influenced by factors such as size, location, and specialized amenities. For instance, a larger unit will naturally cost you more than a smaller one, and, due to the price of real estate, a unit located in the city center tends to be more expensive than one on the outskirts or in rural areas. Special features available at the storage facility, such as climate-control, are also a factor when looking at the cost to rent a self-storage unit.

To do a meaningful price comparison, it’s important to narrow down the unit size first, so read on to learn how to determine the right fit for your storage requirements.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

Selecting the appropriate size and type for your mini-storage unit is vital to ensure that it will be able to both properly accommodate and safeguard your possessions. Consider the following questions to better identify your specific requirements:

• What will I be storing? Identify the types and quantities of items you plan to store. Take measurements of large or awkwardly shaped items to gauge the space they’ll need, particularly if they can’t be easily disassembled.
• Will I require frequent access to my storage unit? If you need regular access to your stored items, opt for a ground floor unit or one with drive-up access for optimal convenience.
• Do any of my items have temperature or humidity sensitivities? If you possess items that could be damaged by moisture or drastic temperature fluctuations, consider a climate-controlled or temperature-regulated unit.
• How effectively can I pack and stack my belongings? Take advantage of vertical space for stacking and disassemble your items where possible to maximize storage capacity. Store things inside, underneath, or on top of larger ones to expand the usable area.
• Will I be needing additional storage space in the future? If you anticipate storing more items down the line, it might be beneficial to select a larger unit from the start. This allows room for growth without the hassle of transferring everything to a different unit later.
• Can I leverage vertical space? Use freestanding shelving units and stackable bins or boxes to make the most of your unit’s space and keep things organized.

• 5’x5′ (25 sq ft): Roughly the size of a large closet, this unit is most ideal for storing a limited number of items, such as 15 moving boxes, small furniture items, twin-sized mattress sets, small appliances, or seasonal clothing, accessories, and decor.
• 5’x10′ (50 sq ft): About the size of a walk-in closet, this unit works well for the contents of a small one-bedroom or studio apartment, including a sofa, queen mattress set, small dining room set, TVs and electronics, bicycles or scooter, sports equipment, and up to 25 boxes.

It provides ample space for the contents of a one- or two-bedroom apartment, including major kitchen appliances, king-sized mattress set, garden and lawn care equipment, bulky seasonal items like patio furniture and tires, and 50 boxes.

• 10’x20′ (200 sq ft): This size gives you approximately the same amount of space as a standard garage, making it suitable to store the contents of a three- or four-bedroom apartment or house, including over 100 moving boxes, all major appliances, a home office, or a passenger vehicle.
• 10’x25′ (250 sq ft): Being slightly larger than a one-car garage, this size provides ample space for the contents of a three or four-bedroom house, upwards of 100 moving boxes, office furniture, commercial tools and equipment, and/or a full-size passenger vehicle.
• 10’x30′ (300 sq ft): The largest storage unit size, similar to a two-car garage in capacity, offers enough space for the contents of a four or five-bedroom house, well over 150 boxes, business inventory, canoes or kayaks, a boat on a trailer, passenger vehicle or light duty truck.

To determine the best unit size for your needs, consider the types and quantities of items you need to store, as well as their dimensions.
