What Does a Storage Unit Cost in Manhattan, KS?

“What does a storage unit cost?” is the first question almost everyone asks, and the honest answer is: it depends on a few things you control. Here is what actually moves the price in Manhattan, so you can figure out what you will pay before you ever reserve.

What drives the price

• Size: the biggest factor. A 5×5 locker costs a fraction of a 10×20 garage, so right-sizing is the easiest way to control the bill.
• Climate-controlled vs. drive-up: climate control runs a bit more than a standard drive-up unit of the same size.
• Vehicle and RV spaces: priced by length and by whether the space is uncovered, covered, or enclosed.
• How long you rent: everything is month-to-month, so you only pay for the months you actually need.

Climate-controlled vs. drive-up: the price difference

A climate-controlled unit costs a little more because it holds a steady temperature and humidity year round. For tools, patio furniture, and most boxed household goods, a drive-up unit is the cheaper and perfectly good choice. For wood furniture, electronics, photos, documents, and anything that warps or mildews in a Kansas summer, the small premium is worth it. Our climate-controlled storage page breaks down what belongs in each.

How our pricing works: month-to-month, no surprises

We rent month to month with no long contract, and you see the live, current price for each size when you pick one and reserve online, no quote form or phone tag required. There is no administration fee and no deposit, just one flat monthly rate. Fair local rates, no games.

Discounts worth asking about

We offer 10% off for military, and 10% off when you pay a full year up front. The two do not stack. If either applies to you, mention it when you rent or ask an owner and we will take care of it.

How to get a real number for your unit

The fastest way is to compare sizes on our storage unit sizes page and start a reservation, which shows the live price for that unit. Not sure what size you need? Call or text an owner and we will help you right-size so you are not paying for space you will not use.
