FAQ

No. Customers do not pay any additional fees at upickstorage.com.

Although, to rent with some facilities the customer may be required to pay part of one month's rent up front before making the online reservation. Again, this is not an additional fee and does apply to part of your rent.

As long as your bid is $20 or higher, the amount of the bid is your decision.  However, you increase the chances of getting storage for a less expensive price if you extend your range from 1 mile to 10 miles.  You can decide what to bid for whatever size storage unit you need.  However, the following guidelines are listed by Self-Storage Almanac published in 2009 which indicate typical fees for storage units:
