What size unit do you need?
Use the size guide: all five common sizes drawn to the same scale. If you're between two, take the larger.
How do you compare prices?
Compare the standard monthly rate, not the first-month offer, and convert weekly quotes to monthly. The cost guide shows typical Toronto prices for each size.
Where should your unit be?
Close to home matters more than you'd think if you'll visit often. Browse by district: Old Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York or York.
How do you book a unit?
You'll need photo ID and a card. 80 facilities we list take bookings online, and some let you move in the same day.
Do you need insurance and a lock?
Most facilities require insurance on what you store. Check your home or tenant policy first; otherwise the facility will offer a plan. You'll also need a lock, and some facilities require a specific type.
What happens on move-in day?
You'll get a gate code or an app for access. Check access hours, which are often different from office hours. If you need to get in late, see facilities with 24/7 access.
How do you move out?
Give notice before your next billing date, empty and sweep the unit, and take your lock off.
