My mom's place will need major renovations. We need to clear out a lot of space for the contractor(s) to get work done. She's somewhat of a hoarder, so I'm going to have to rent a storage locker/room for the copious amounts of junk that she refuses to throw out.

Any recommendations for affordable storage in Vancouver or Burnaby?

EDIT: Sorry, I should be more clear. What's the cheapest storage place in Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, or Richmond that has an elevator, or all ground floor storage units? A friend of mine suggested a low priced place but I'd have to lug carry the stuff up and down stairs.

Hey everyone, I just wrapped up my college year, and I'm now on the hunt for a storage location in Vancouver to store my luggage for the summer. I'm not from here, so I'm not familiar with the area and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I've done some research and read some reviews, but I'm hoping to get some recommendations from locals who have personal experience with storage options in the area.

I'm planning on storing my luggage for about 4-5 months until September. I don't need anything fancy, just a safe and secure place to store my belongings. Ideally, I would like something affordable as I'm on a student budget.

Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Anyone know free/cheap storage. I am willing to go as far as abbtsford or Langley I just need some space for storing furniture temporarily. I’m ok to put a small tent if necessary to cover up if no cover is available for this season

Looking to store some boxes for a year for under $100/month! Anywhere in Metro Vancouver is okay.

Need to use one for a few months to sort out the logistics of a move, has anyone had any good experiences with one? Or is it the bait and switch after your first month? Don't need to have 24 hour access nor have it out in the middle of nowhere.

Edit: staying in Vancouver, currently in Olympic village going to east van

Just looking online and the going rate for a small (5x5) storage unit seems to be around $120/month+

Is that just the minimum rates now or does anyone know of any places that are safe, but cheaper?

I've been calling and emailing SO MANY storage places to get rates and check availability. Because I have to do that with every storage place, it's taking me a long time only to find out the prices are either extremely high or the type of unit I want isn't available.

Does anyone use or know of a storage place that is somewhat affordable? I'm looking just for a basic unit, maybe 50sqft at most. I don't want to spend above $150 per month, which I haven't been able to find yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey r/vancouver,

It seems crazy how expensive some of the storage lockers are in vancouver ($150+/month for a regular sized storage locker?!)

Have any of you found some gems further out (tri-cities, langley/abbotsford/surrey, even chilliwack) that make the drive worth it? Im considering long term self storage so there wont be frequent pick ups and drop offs

Hi guys, myself and my partner are heading into the interior with work this Summer. We have our winter tires and 5 or 6 boxes of stuff we need to store somewhere. Wondering if anyone had any space or idea's on a way we could find storage without paying the extortionate rates for container/storage rental. Again it's just for the summer, Craigslist is also pretty thin except for parking spaces!

I need a place to store my car for 6 months and I am trying to find the cheapest options. Does anyone have any experience using one ? The average price im finding is 160$ a month

Looking for recommendations of self-storage locations on the North Shore. Will be selling and moving, and need a small storage area for a couple of months. Would love recommendations for places that have been easy to deal with, and easy to get out of at the end of a few months.
Last similar post on this was 2 years ago so would love a more recent update. Thanks!

I have a few boxes and luggage bags I want to store for a couple of months.

Heyyo!

Wondering if you guys had any recommendatiojs for cheap storage in the vancouver area? Anywhere between kits and east van?

I only need a months worth so im trying to find some place cheap.

Thanks!

For about 15 large rubbermaids

For those in & around downtown….

How much are apartment storage lockers renting for? Assuming it’s the standard-sized ones in downtown apartments.

The person I am potentially renting from never stated an amount/open to negotiating. I don’t want to lowball or go too high when discussing the rate.

Thanks!

EDIT: the person I am potentially renting a locker from didn’t indicate an amount

I probably wouldn't need more than a small closet to hold my stuff. But my boyfriend and I are thinking of travelling abroad for a few months and have no where to put our stuff in the mean time. Was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation? I've been looking at storage lockers, but a lot of them seem to be a bit too big for what we need. I don't really want to go through the hassle of selling everything we own again. I've looked through old posts in r/vancouver and can't seem to find this specific question answered. I don't mind driving out somewhere a bit away. I'd probably need maybe 3x3' of storage, or less if that helps

Guys, I'm new to Vancouver. I want to find a place to store some stuff for a long time ( doesn't matter even if it is in Richmond or even 40 minutes drive from Vancouver ). I thought it would be around 50 per month, but I checked a few places and they were around 110-140 $/month.

Do you know where I can find a cheap storage to store something like a couch and few boxes ?

Anyone recommend a self storage facility that’s reasonably priced? 5x5 or 5x10 and it doesn’t need to be in Vancouver. Anywhere within an hour drive from Vancouver is fine.

Anyway, how much is it monthly if you guys know? Most storage facilities asks me to send an email which takes too much time when I’m still shopping around. Thanks.

Looking for advice. We need a storage space about 5x10 as I'm very sick of having a living room full of locks.

I am having a fine time finding prices and availability online but what I really am hoping for is if anyone has had any positive or negative experiences with the local options. I don't want to go just for price and end up hating the service and having to leave and move and organize the stock again. I just want it out of the house and organized in a good place I can trust.

Has anyone had a unit broken into? Have you rented a storage space and not been able to cancel payments/were the staff sketchy or rude? I've never used storage before and I don't know why but this is making me really nervous.

Please tell me any experiences or advice you have. Or if you know of any special promotions?

Thanks!

My friend rents storage space at Maple Leaf storage, and she just got a call that a bunch of the units got compromised by someone entering through the admittedly fragile wire mesh at the top of the units. Has anyone experienced this before, how common is it? She's understandably freaked out and has been asked to come in and check if hers is one of the compromised units. One would think they'd have some kind of alarm system up there to keep people from traipsing above the lockers. Does anyone know if any of the storage companies have a more secure configuration? Big Steel Box isn't an option due to no loading area where she lives.
