        Orlando storage unit cost

        Prices can vary wildly for self storage space, so it is wise to do your research. For instance, the average price for a 10x15 storage unit in Orlando is $118 a month. However, self storage facilities in suburban areas tucked away from the city and the theme parks offer units for as low as $53 a month. A general rule to follow is the closer you are to downtown Orlando or the theme parks, the higher the monthly rates.

        Most self storage facilities in Orlando cater to individuals looking for temporary storage options, which is why most companies offer month-to-month payment options. For long-term storage options, some provide a long-term contract — most commonly three months at a time.

        Orlando self storage sizes

        The two most important factors for most Floridians is the cost and the size of the Orlando storage unit you want to rent.

        SizeAverage monthly cost
        5x5$45-$55
        5x10$56-$66
        5x15$78-$85
        10x10$95-$105
        10x15$118-$125
        10x30$155-$175

        Orlando storage unit locations

        Orlando’s rapidly growing student population at its many colleges — such as the University of Central Florida — mean storage near campuses cost more than facilities in smaller, suburban areas. The smallest storage units closest to downtown Orlando average about $48 a month, while storage facilities north of downtown Orlando — like Winter Park and Maitland — can be as low as $31 a month.

        Orlando self storage insurance costs

        Remember: An Orlando storage facility's insurance only covers the building itself, not the items inside. If the storage facility is damaged due to fire or one of Florida's famous hurricanes, your valuables are a total loss. Fortunately, most insurance companies can cover storage units for less than $2 per $100 worth of valuables. If you are storing expensive items such as jewelry or artwork, adding this insurance to your existing policy may be vital.

        Additional self storage costs and discounts

        Many Orlando self storage companies offer the first month rent-free, but also incorporate admin fees and other surcharges upfront. As you search for a self storage company, ask about these extra fees before you sign a contract. Some facilities charge more for climate-controlled units, units on the ground floor or units with additional security.

        Look for companies like CubeSmart with student discounts, discounts for active military members and discounts for seniors and veterans.

        How to choose the right storage unit company in Orlando

        Do you need a climate-controlled unit? Do you prefer interior or exterior storage? When choosing a self storage company, these questions are essential to ask before making your choice.

        Is it a climate-controlled or non-climate controlled unit?

        Orlando residents need to remember the varying weather conditions when choosing a self storage facility. Orlando can see temperatures in the 100s during the summer, and June through November is hurricane season, so keeping valuables in a private garage may not keep them protected from these elements. Most Orlando self storage facilities feature climate-controlled units as well as indoor storage units that keep valuables safe from heat, humidity and rain.

        If you are only storing your items for a few weeks, you can probably get by without needing climate control. Generally speaking, the more delicate the things you are storing, the greater your need for climate control.

        If you are storing wine, look for a self storage unit that specializes in wine storage. Because Orlando sees such dramatic shifts in its weather patterns, climate control can help regulate temperatures within the storage unit and keep your items safe.

        Is it an interior or exterior storage unit?

        The choice between interior storage or exterior storage depends on your needs.

        An interior storage unit is similar to an apartment complex. Owners enter through the main entrance and have private keyed entrances into their units. Interior storage is usually more expensive but can make it easier to access your items during inclement weather.

        Exterior storage units generally feature a roll-up, garage-style door that allows owners access from the outside. Exterior storage units are more affordable and offer the convenience of being able to drive right up to the unit for easy loading and unloading.

        Where is it located within the facility?

        If having a ground floor storage unit is crucial, you should check with the facility to ensure they have this type of unit available. Sometimes there is an extra charge for ground floor units as they can be favored over others. Storage companies with multiple levels typically provide a service elevator for owners to get their heavy objects up multiple floors.

        What are the amenities?

        Orlando's property crime rates are slightly higher than the national average. This is why many Orlando residents look for self storage facilities with security measures like gated entrances, nighttime patrol guards and video surveillance. Many self storage facilities in Orlando also feature additional security amenities like:

        • Digital self-serve kiosks
        • Well-lit parking lots and hallways
        • 24-hour video surveillance
        • Tamper-proof locks

        Other amenities such as computer access and Wi-Fi make it easy for owners to handle their accounts and pay bill online.
