Two things stand out. First, a 10 × 20 costs a lot more than a 10 × 15 in most places: $50 more a month for the standard version. Second, these are averages of listed prices, and listed prices are often promotional.
Why the advertised price is often just the opening offer
Large storage operators commonly price a new rental low, sometimes $1 or “free” for the first month, and raise the rent after you move in. It works because moving a full storage unit is a hassle, so most people pay the increase.
The practice is drawing attention. In February 2026, New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection sued Extra Space Storage, alleging “deceptive and predatory pricing practices.” The city said some customers who started around $100 to $150 a month saw rent jump to $300 or more, and it sought about $5 million in penalties (Modern Storage Media).
You’ll also see two prices on many listings: a discounted “web rate” and a higher “regular” or “in-store” rate. The regular rate is usually the better guide to what you’ll pay over time.
What affects the price of a storage unit?
- Size. Bigger units cost more per month, though the cost per square foot often drops.
- Climate control. In Bellmawr’s October 2026 numbers, a climate-controlled 10 × 20 averaged $41 a month more than a standard one.
- Drive-up vs. interior. Drive-up units let you unload at the door. Interior units mean hallways, carts and sometimes elevators.
- Promotions and rate increases. A low first month followed by increases can cost more than a steady rate.
- Access hours. Many facilities close the gate overnight. Ours is open to customers 24/7.
How to compare storage prices by the square foot
Sizes don’t always match from one facility to the next, so divide the monthly rent by the square footage. That gives you a fair comparison.
| Unit | Monthly rent | Cost per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Area average standard 10 × 15 | $200 | $1.33 |
| Area average standard 10 × 20 | $250 | $1.25 |
| Gloucester City Storage 17 × 10 | $199 | $1.17 |
| Gloucester City Storage 10 × 20 | $224 | $1.12 |

Compare month five, not month one
The most useful number on any storage quote is the rent you’ll pay after the promotion ends. Before you sign anywhere, ask:
- What will my rent be in month five?
- Is this a promotional price, and what’s the regular rate?
- How often does rent go up, and how much notice do I get?
- When can I get to my unit?
Our answers: the same as month one, no promotion, locked for 12 months, and 24/7. See our full pricing or compare unit sizes.
