Public Storage

QUESTION:

I am about to buy another bike, but I want to put it in a public self storage facility until I sell my old one. I havnt had a chance to price these facities yet. I am in Md. Any idea what I can expect to pay per month?

ANSWER:

I currently rent space at a public storage facility in Salinas, CA. I pay
$125.00 per month for a 10' x 10' space and the facility does allow storage of motor vehicles. The condition is that they must run, they are currently registered and they must have current liability insurance. The facility is a
*very* secure facility. It has alarms on each space that is set with a personal code that I enter into a keypad when I open the main gate at the facility. Each space also has at least one fire sprinkler head in it. The perimeter of the facility is protected with 10' walls (and cameras along the wall). There is only one entrance, at the road side of the facility. The gate at the entrance is electric and is opened with a keypad. Renters have limited access between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. (I think week days have different hours). There is a full-time guard that lives on the premises so someone is there 24 hours a day. To enter the facility you use your personal security code to open the main gate but at the same time, it turns off the alarm to your personal space. When you exit the facility, the alarm is reset when you enter your personal gate code to open the gate to get out (it does not open automatically). They say that since most theft at public storage facilities is from other renters, that keeps anyone from being able to get into my space without setting the alarm off.
I just checked into renting a space in Colorado Springs, CO. They rent a 10'x40' space for $199.00 per month. I was told that it also has alarms but is not 'climate controlled' (so says the person on the phone). They also allow storage of motor vehicles.
Obviously, prices vary from state to state / area to area and not all storage facilities allow you to store vehicles. So it's also obvious that it's best to check your area to see for yourself.
