Great service.

SpareFoot has what you need.

Making a move across the country, I wanted an inexpensive 5x5 unit. Well, SpareFoot had it. The size and at a price I can afford. Close to where I'll be. I'm glad that I was able to find just what I needed.

Good customer service and great pricing.

I called SpareFoot to reserve a 5x5 storage space from this company. My customer experience with them was great. I called the company from their website, and the next day, a manager at the storage facility called me and let me know they were holding it for me.

Mini Storage Size FAQs

Can I rent a climate controlled mini storage unit?

Yes, most mini storage facilities offer climate-controlled units in both 5x5 and 5x10 sizes. Climate-controlled storage maintains consistent temperature (typically 55-85°F) and humidity levels year-round, protecting your belongings from extreme weather conditions. These units are ideal for storing electronics, wooden furniture, important documents, artwork, musical instruments, and clothing. Climate-controlled mini storage units typically cost $10-20 more per month than standard mini storage units but provide advanced protection. When searching for "climate-controlled storage near me," look for facilities that offer this premium feature in smaller unit sizes.

What is the biggest mini storage unit I can rent?

Most mini storage facilities offer sizes ranging from 5x5 units up to 5x10 units. If you're looking for a larger-sized storage unit, you'll want to expand your search to common self-storage unit sizes.

Do I need rental insurance for mini storage?

While mini storage rental insurance isn't legally required, it's highly recommended to protect your stored belongings. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance may provide limited coverage for items in storage, but this coverage is often minimal. Most mini storage facilities offer tenant insurance plans starting at $8-15 per month, covering $2,000-5,000 worth of stored items.

Is mini storage worth it?

At $35-85 per month for most units, mini storage costs less than upgrading to a larger apartment or home. It's particularly worthwhile for apartment dwellers, college students, military families, and anyone in transition who needs temporary space. Mini storage pays for itself when it helps you avoid buying duplicate items, allows you to keep sentimental belongings, or enables downsizing to save on housing costs.
