Location Convenience and Access
When looking to rent a Grand Prairie storage unit, you need to keep location in mind, as location not only affects how easily you can access your storage unit, but also how much you pay for storage.
With Storage.com, we make it easy to find the closest Grand Prairie self storage locations to you. You can search either by city or zip code—such as 75050, 75051, 75052, and 75060. Although searching by city will help you see all of the storage facilities in Grand Prairie, you can narrow your search to facilities in your area with a zip code. This helps you see which facilities will be the most convenient to access.
But convenience can cost you. Facilities located in the center of town or in areas with high traffic often have more expensive rentals because their units are in higher demand. While this is good when you need to access your unit frequently—like, say, businesses that need to grab supplies a couple times a week—storage renters who only need to get in to their storage units once or twice a year might not see a need to pay extra for a closer facility.
Picking the Right Unit Size
Finding a unit size is one of the most difficult aspects of renting storage because it's hard to envision how much space you'll need if you haven't ever rented storage before. In most cases, a 5x5 storage unit will do the trick. This unit is the most common unit size rented, and it's approximately the size of a walk-in closet. It's perfect for storing a few boxes of seasonal items, sporting gear, and lawn equipment.
With larger storage needs, a 10x20 or 10x30 storage unit will be better. These sizes are commonly used during the transition between homes when renters need to store the contents of an entire house. Also, vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles, jet skis, and boats can be stored indoors in these unit sizes.
If you're still unsure of what Grand Prairie self storage unit size will work best for your needs, you can check out Storage.com's interactive size guide, which has illustrations of what can fit into each common unit size. Also, you can call in to speak with one of our storage representatives, who would be happy to assist you.
Boat/RV Storage
With plenty of lakes and campgrounds around Texas, it's not uncommon for Grand Prairie residents to own a boat or RV that they use during the summer or on the weekends. Unfortunately, boats and RVs aren't the easiest vehicles to store at home. They can't fit in the garage, and they take up too much space in the driveway—and most neighborhoods don't allow boats and RVs to be parked in the street.
The good thing is that many Grand Prairie storage facilities have boat and RV storage to alleviate these storage woes. With indoor, covered, and outdoor storage options, you'll be able to find something that works for your boat/RV needs. Also, be sure to look for facilities offering drive-up access or wide-drive aisles to make getting your boat or RV out of the facility property easier.
Climate-Controlled Storage in Grand Prairie
Hot and humid weather can damage sensitive items in storage, such as electronics, antiques, and paper documents. Because Grand Prairie sees hot temperatures and humid days, it might be a good idea to rent a climate-controlled storage unit. With climate control, your unit is kept at constant temperature and humidity levels, which prevents irreparable damage brought on by external conditions.
