Frequently Asked Questions

How much is self-storage in Boise, ID?

Monthly self-storage rates in Boise range from $55 for a 5’x5’ unit to $152 for a 10’x20’ unit. Prices vary depending on the unit size, amenities, and location. Rates in Boise are slightly above state and national averages due to the elevated cost of living, which is 19.6% higher than the U.S. average. Renters in Boise typically spend $2 to $19 more monthly than they would in other areas of the country. 

What amenities are necessary for safe, secure self-storage in Boise, ID?

Boise has a lower-than-average property crime rate of 34.2. If you only plan to store low-value items in your unit, gates, fences, and locks may be adequate to protect your belongings. However, if your unit contains valuable or irreplaceable items, it’s best to look for a facility with enhanced security features. Alarm systems, security guards, and access control add another layer of protection for your items. 

Is climate-controlled self-storage necessary in Boise, ID?

Consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit if you plan to store temperature-sensitive items. Boise experiences warm summers, with average temperatures reaching 86 degrees. Without protection, susceptible items can crack, warp, or melt due to the heat. Renting a unit with temperature and humidity control keeps your belongings safe from environmental damage.

Does home insurance cover storage units?

Most home insurance policies include coverage for off-site items, like those in self-storage. The coverage is often capped at 10% of your standard rate. For example, if it covers your household items up to $50,000, it will cover the items in your unit up to $5,000. If you have high-value items in your unit, consider purchasing self-storage insurance for enhanced coverage.

Is a cheap storage unit worth it?

While a low-cost storage unit can feel like a steal, it may lack the necessary sanitation and safety features to protect your belongings. Before signing a rental agreement, visit the facility to inspect the unit and ask about their security measures. If the facility doesn’t have adequate lighting, surveillance, or pest control, it may be best to look elsewhere.
