Why do storage prices change by facility?

Storage prices change because of unit size, occupancy, local land cost, climate control, access type, facility age, security, and current promotions.

How do I avoid overpaying for storage?

Choose the smallest realistic unit, compare the regular monthly rent after promotions, include insurance and admin fees, and do not ignore distance if you need regular access.
