Los Angeles - Finding Low Cost Storage in the City of Angels

Los Angeles is a big, big place whose size is rivaled only by the high price of real estate. Storage space is no exception. On average, the cost of a Los Angeles self storage unit is $1.73 per square foot, per month. Not bad if all you need is enough space to store a shoebox full of precious collectibles, but most people in need of self storage are likely in the market for something slightly bigger than a 5x5 walk in closet. Here are a few tips on getting the most bang for your buck if you've got tons of stuff, not enough room at home, and not a clue what to do with it all.

Saving Money by Looking Inland

Even if you happen to live in the 90292 ZIP Code and call Marina del Rey home, it doesn't necessarily mean you've got money to burn. Simply keeping up with the cost of living might actually require that you extend your search for self storage in Los Angeles further inland, especially considering the fact that the average rate of storage in your area runs close to $70 for a 5x5 unit. Anything bigger - with climate control, drive up access, and 24-hour accessibility ñ and you're looking at double the cost. Although you're likely to find some of the cheapest rates around by looking in the Pomona (91766) or Montclair (91763) areas, it's always prudent to determine if the money you save is going to be worth the time it'll take to get there in typical LA traffic if you plan on visiting your belongings often.

Keep an Eye Open for Deals and Introductory Rates

Los Angeles storage units exist to serve your needs, but they wouldn't be able to operate without your ongoing business. To this end, storage facilities are always offering the kinds of deals that are simply too good to pass up. When you start your search for Los Angeles self storage, keep an eye open for some of the following amenities which are typically offered to first time customers as a way of attracting your business.

• Low introductory rates. Look for "first month free" or "buy two months, get one free" type offers.
• Free use of a moving van. Self storage companies know that not everyone drives a pickup truck or has access to moving equipment, so they'll frequently offer move-in specials that include a moving van or truck, a free tank of gas, and sometimes even a driver and/or movers to help you get your stuff loaded and unloaded.
• Free insurance. There's always going to be a cap on the amount of insurance you'll be offered, but it certainly beats the alternative of either having to pay extra, or not insuring your belongings at all.

Set Up Auto Payments

One of the great benefits of modern living is the ability we have to live our lives a little bit freer from the entanglements of paperwork, and routine chores ñ like paying bills. If you're renting out self storage in Los Angeles and would rather leave the bill paying to the autopilot gods, you can save yourself some hassle (as well as the late fees that come as a result of missing rent deadlines) by scheduling automatic payments for your monthly self storage rental fees.
