How Much Does Self Storage Cost?

 

Self storage is a practical solution for anyone who needs extra space, whether you're moving, renovating, or simply decluttering. But a common question is: How much does self storage cost? The price of self storage depends on factors like location, unit size and, importantly, security features.

 

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about how much self storage costs in South Africa, helping you make the right choice for your budget and storage needs.

 

Factors Influencing Self Storage Costs in South Africa

1. Location

Location is a major influencer of how much self storage costs, as facilities in city centres or convenient suburban areas often cost more because of:

• Higher land costs (more expensive to build the property)
• Municipal rates (more expensive to run)
• Increased demand

On the other hand, self storage facilities on the outskirts of town or in less central areas are often more affordable. However, this might mean travelling further to access the store, which can be inconvenient.

The location you choose depends on where you live or work:

• For frequent access: Businesses (for example e-commerce) needing daily access to move stock should choose a self storage facility close to their operations.
• For occasional access: If storing seasonal items or belongings you won’t need for some time, a more affordable unit further away may suit you better.

2. Unit Size

Naturally, the size of the unit influences the monthly cost. Smaller units are more affordable than larger ones, but if you have a lot to store and a limited budget, consider:

• Using shelving
• Stacking items to make use of the unit’s height

3. Security Features

When it comes to how much self storage costs, security is another key factor. Budget-friendly facilities may offer basic security, but they will not provide the peace of mind you need.

At Stor-Age, we prioritise the safety of your belongings by offering advanced security measures, including:

• 24-hour surveillance
• Access control
• Alarm systems
• License plate recognition technology
• Electric fencing

While these features might add slightly to the cost, they ensure your stored items are well-protected.
