Renting a unit that’s too big wastes money every month. Renting one that’s too small means a second trip — or worse, boxes stacked outside. Here’s how to get it right the first time.
A 5×5 unit is about the size of a large closet — roughly 25 square feet. It holds 10–15 boxes, a few small pieces of furniture, or seasonal items like holiday decorations and off-season clothing. It’s the most common choice for dorm contents or a light decluttering project.
Think walk-in closet. A 5×10 unit comfortably holds the contents of a studio apartment or a single bedroom — a mattress set, a small sofa, 20–30 boxes, and a bike or two.
One of our most popular sizes. A 10×10 unit fits a full one-bedroom apartment or a two-car garage’s worth of boxes and furniture — king bed, sofa, dresser, and up to 50 boxes.
A 10×20 unit holds the contents of a three-bedroom home, a small vehicle, or a full commercial inventory load. If you’re storing a vehicle, boat, or the entire contents of a large home, our largest units go up to 15×20.
When in doubt, size up. It’s a lot cheaper to pay a little more per month than to rent a second unit — and a bit of breathing room makes loading and finding things later much easier.

Size up. A little extra room makes loading, unloading, and finding things later much easier, and the cost difference between adjacent sizes is usually small.
