Are you looking to rent a storage unit and want to know how much it will cost?
There are several factors that influence the rental price of a self storage unit. In this article, we’ll explain the main things that determine the cost and how you can save money when making your choice.
Storage prices vary depending on location
The location of the self storage facility plays a key role in the final price. The building needs to be easy to access so people can treat the space as an extension of their home or office.
That’s why self storage should be well located. One of our goals is to bring new life to underused buildings in urban areas, close to where our customers live.
More central areas usually have a higher price per square metre.
The size in square metres directly affects the price
As you might expect, the size of the storage unit has a direct impact on the price.
We always encourage our customers to use space calculation tools to check how much space they actually need.
There’s no point in paying for space you’re not going to use inside your unit.
People often think they need more space than they actually end up using.
How to calculate the right amount of space and pay less
Every day, customers request a storage unit that’s larger than what they truly need. We understand it’s natural to estimate space based on the rooms in your home.
However, in a storage unit, items are often disassembled and packed closely together, so the space used is very different.
Make the most of the height of our units
One of the advantages of Control Space is the ceiling height of our storage units.
To give you a real example: it’s possible to store the full contents of a typical two-bedroom flat (T2) in just 6m².

Extra services are optional
Other costs that often increase storage prices come from extra services.
At Control Space, these are optional. We’ve selected only the most useful ones, such as:
- Package and delivery reception
- 24/7 access
Even though we already offer the longest opening hours in the market (from 6:00 to 23:59), some customers need access during the night.
