How much does a storage unit cost in Plano, TX?

Most storage companies won't answer this question on their website. You get a "starting at" number, and the real price shows up after you've entered your phone number.
Here's ours, in plain numbers, as of September 2026.
Short answer
At our Alma Drive facility, web rates start at $30 a month for a climate-controlled 5x5. A climate-controlled 10x10 runs $100. Drive-up units start at $60.
Where you land in that range depends on two things: how big a unit you need, and whether you want it climate controlled.
What's actually available right now
Climate controlled: web rates from $30 — furniture, electronics, photos, instruments, paper records — anything a Texas summer would find the weak spot in.
Drive-up: web rates from $60 — tools, patio furniture, seasonal gear, boxes — things you'll load and unload often.
Rates above are current as of publish date and will move over time — that's normal, not a bait switch. For the exact number on the exact size you need today, see live availability and rates at our Plano facility rather than trusting a table that could be months old by the time you read this.
Climate controlled or drive-up?
Straight answer, because this is where most of the price difference lives.
You want climate control if you're storing wood furniture, anything electronic, photographs, artwork, musical instruments, business records, or anything held together with glue. A metal box in a Plano August gets hot enough to warp, crack, and delaminate. It finds the weak spot.
Drive-up is fine — and cheaper — if you're storing tools, patio furniture, camping and seasonal gear, exercise equipment, or sealed plastic bins. You also get to back the truck right up to the door, which matters a lot on moving day.
If you're not sure, call us and describe what you've got. We'll tell you which one you actually need, including when that's the cheaper one.
What size do you need?
A rough guide, and honestly the most common mistake is renting too small and having to move up:
5x10 — a one-bedroom apartment's worth, without the appliances.
10x10 — a two-bedroom apartment, appliances included.
10x20 — a three-bedroom house plus a vehicle.
Sizes are approximate, and it's worth measuring the two or three biggest things you're storing before you decide.
About that price
The web rate you see when you reserve is the real monthly rate. We don't run a dollar teaser that resets in ninety days. When we do run a special, it says exactly what it's off and when it ends, and after it you pay the web rate you see listed today.
Rates do change over time — anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being straight with you. Ours move with demand and occupancy, and not often. What we won't do is advertise one price to get you in the door and count on you not noticing the other one later.
