It was a pretty good experience. Didn't have to wait long at all on paperwork. The people working there actually helped me find a it cart to move my belongings. It is probably one of the cleanest facilities I've been able to observe. There is only one place to load and unload your stuff. I see this as a good security situation.

Review
I have had several opportunities, in the past few months, to rent storage space at this location, with the help of Mike and Ron. They know their business details thoroughly and are well-practiced in customer service. Their facility is clean, secure and easy to use. Update: Now I've moved out of two units. Mike and Ron have kept on being helpful, even to pointing out that early in a new month, a move out can be done at a daily rate if there are last-minute snags. I repeat my 5-STARS rating. Second Update: Now I'm back down to 2 units from 5 at the busiest stretch of my family's relocating/downsizing. Mike the Manager continues to be very helpful and, judging by my conversations with his other "tenants," knows this "business" thoroughly and treats everyone respectfully. During the weekends, Ron has been his well-experienced, friendly substitute. These gentlemen are a pleasure to deal with and their location easily earns my 5-STARS again. Third Update: My family's downsizing continues. From one large storage unit into a medium, by discarding, recycling and shredding. Trying to get 15 lbs of keepsakes into an 8-lb bag. Every time I've moved into a different unit it's clean, well-lighted and comfortable. The other renters are friendly and cooperative, which speaks well of the facility and the management; MikeB is especially helpful with suggestions / options and very conscientious about maintenance. 5-STARS !

Seems weird to rate a storage place but this one is far and above my previous experiences. Entire property is immaculately maintained. I rented parking for my RV. The lot was very spacious and easy to maneuver around. Very secure too. Megan who helped me was extremely friendly and very thorough explaining the process.

We provide the convenience of reserving affordable storage units online or by phone. No credit card or long-term contract is required. Consider us as your solution for finding and reserving storage facilities throughout Illinois, including options for mini storage units and storage containers to suit a variety of needs.

The cheapest storage unit in your area may not always be the best choice. Please consider the following factors when selecting a storage unit in Des Plaines, Illinois.

  • Monthly rates are based on features such as 24/7 access, climate control, facility security, location, and overall demand in your area.

  • For household goods, the most common storage unit sizes are 5x5, 5x10, 10x10, and 10X15. For added flexibility, some companies also offer portable mini storage units for rent for temporary residential use that can be delivered to your property or hauled by you for on-site storage.

  • Many facilities offer larger unit sizes for commercial and business storage, like 10x20 or 10x30. These sizes are ideal for storing office equipment, inventory, or business records. These sizes can also accommodate vehicles, making them a great option for car storage.

  • Most storage facilities require insurance for stored items. If you don’t have your own policy, you may need to buy one through the facility, adding about $15 to $50 to your storage rental cost each month. Some places also charge a refundable deposit or an administrative fee when you move in. Always ask about these costs and refund conditions before signing a lease.

  • Storage facilities with flexible leases allow you to rent on a month-to-month basis. Be aware that storage unit price increases are common. Many customers say their rates go up after a few months, sometimes more than once a year. Since storage rentals are month-to-month, facilities can raise prices with proper notice. Ask about potential rate increases before committing to a unit.

  • The monthly rent will also depend on whether a facility offers climate-controlled units or only drive-up units. Climate-controlled units cost more than drive-up units or storage containers.

  • Most locations have digital keypad access, which provides you with your personal access code. Check with the office for availability.
  • Consider drive-up access for easier loading and unloading, especially for heavy or bulky items.

  • Some facilities may provide extra room or rental space for public use, such as areas for organizing or handling your stored items. Contact the property manager to confirm availability.

  • Check for online reviews and recommendations.

  • Ask the office about the preventive security measures for safeguarding the location.


Are there free storage deals in Des Plaines, Illinois?

Many companies offer promotions for new customers, such as a free first month. Search by your zip code or distance to locate cheap storage units that come with the first month free and other decent storage discounts. Take advantage of specials if you're a first-time renter.


How do I find the cheapest storage in Des Plaines?

You can sort by price, from low to high, to find affordable options on our website. Away from the city center, you have a better chance of finding inexpensive storage rental solutions. The facility's size and amenities affect the monthly price.


What is the difference between an indoor and outdoor unit?

You have easy access to your unit when it is an outdoor unit. If the unit is indoors, you must first enter the building to get to it.


What is the difference between office hours and gate hours?

The property's operating hours are during office hours. The store manager will be on duty to help you with your questions. If you have questions or need help outside these hours, look up the property's phone number to contact the leasing office directly. The gate hours determine when you can enter the property and use your unit.
