Still not sure? Try these

Between two sizes? Go up one.

A little extra room means a walkway, and a walkway means you can reach things without unloading everything.

Count rooms, not boxes.

A rough rule: about 50 square feet per furnished room, plus a little extra for appliances.

Stack up, not out.

Most units are about 8 feet tall. Matching boxes and a free-standing shelf can save you a whole size.

Size guide questions

What is the most popular storage unit size?

The 10x10 is the most popular size. It holds the contents of a typical one-bedroom apartment.

What size storage unit do I need for a 2 bedroom apartment?

Most two-bedroom apartments fit in a 10x15. If you have large appliances or a lot of extras, step up to a 10x20.

What size storage unit do I need for a 3 bedroom house?

A 10x20 or 10x22 usually holds a three-bedroom home. For a fully furnished home with a garage full of tools, look at a 10x25 or 10x30.

Can I fit a car in a storage unit?

Many cars fit in a 10x20 or larger drive-up unit, but not every location allows vehicles in units. Call the location before you rent.

How tall are storage units?

Most full-size units are about 8 feet tall. Lockers like the 5x5x5 have a lower ceiling of about 5 feet.
