        Self storage is a sensible choice for expanding families, Portland State or Concordia University-Portland going on a summer break and sports enthusiasts who want to park their boats, motorbikes and other recreational vehicles during the off-season.

        When considering a storage facility in Portland, you want to find one that’s secure, well lit, pest-free, conveniently located and not prone to flooding.

        Average cost of storage units in Portland

        Monthly fees for storage units in Portland vary by neighborhood but typically vary from $55 to $200 per month. Take a look at some of the cheap storage units in Portland:

        10’ x 10’$185$114$90$130

        Unit size is a significant consideration in determining storage unit prices, but other factors also contribute to the cost, including:

        • Location: Prices for units closer to the heart of Portland tend to be higher than units in outlying or suburban areas.
        • Indoor vs. outdoor units: Indoor units are 50 percent more expensive than outdoor units.
        • Climate control: Prices of climate-controlled units in Portland are 15 percent higher than non-climate-controlled units.
        • Security: Extra security, including on-site managers and 24/7 video surveillance, increase the total cost of a storage unit
        • Contract length: Short-term or month-to-month agreements are likely to cost more than long-term leases.

        Insuring your belongings while they’re in storage protects you against loss or damage caused by fires, theft and vermin infestation. Insurance for a rental unit in Portland generally costs between $8 and $24 a month.

        Storage fees in Portland are typically paid monthly. To save on your rental cost, talk with the facility management about possible discounts in exchange for advance payment.

        How to choose the right storage unit company in Portland

        Portland is home to a booming self storage industry. There are hundreds of self storage options for Portland residents wanting to keep their belongings safe, and it’s difficult to choose between facilities. There are a few things you can do to find the right storage unit for you.

        First, check the company’s license, facility policies, security system, insurance requirements and customer reputation. The best companies are licensed and insured, have straightforward policies, a good security system and a great reputation among current and former customers.

        After narrowing down your options to a smaller list of companies, consider the unit size, price and accessibility options. Make sure the facility offers essential features you need. Here’s helpful information on the types of self storage:

        Outdoor vs. indoor storage units in Portland
        Interior storage units are enclosed spaces or rooms inside a building. These units are ideal for storing valuable items, such as antique pieces and expensive furniture, to protect them from harsh weather conditions and theft. They are typically smaller than exterior storage units.

        Exterior storage units are usually larger than indoor storage units and located around the sides of a building, giving them easy, drive-up access. They are convenient for storing vehicles and large items.

        Climate-controlled storage units in Portland
        Portland has warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. Climate control systems balance these weather patterns and protect your belongings from temperature and humidity damage.

        Climate control systems ensure the units are cooled in summer and heated in winter so delicate items like upholstered furniture, wine, electronics, heirlooms, important documents and clothing are preserved.

        Storage pods in Portland
        Storage pods, or portable storage containers, are often more convenient than brick-and-mortar storage facilities in Portland. With pod storage, the company delivers a portable container to your home. After you load your items, a driver picks up the container for storage at the company’s warehouse. The container may also be stored at your property. A portable storage container is not climate-controlled.
        Information management storage in Portland
        Information management services involve packing paper files in boxes and storing them in climate-controlled warehouses. If you need the files, you can visit the facility or have the boxes delivered to your home or office and back to the warehouse.
