Price of Storage in NYC — What Does Storage Really Cost?
How much does storage cost in New York City? The honest answer is: it depends on how much you store, how long you store, and who does the heavy lifting. This page explains the real price of storage in NYC and how Divine Moving & Storage makes full-service storage simple, transparent, and cost-effective from our 550 Barry Street facility.
Instead of juggling self-storage units, rental trucks, and surprise fees, we give you a clear quote up front and handle everything—pickup, packing, transport, storage, and redelivery.
What Drives the Price of Storage in NYC?
Every storage situation is different, but the main pricing factors are:
- Volume: How much space your items take up (furniture, boxes, equipment, etc.).
- Duration: Short-term storage for a move or renovation vs. long-term storage.
- Services: Do you want full-service pickup and packing, or just storage?
- Access needs: How often you need items in and out of storage.
- Special handling: Fragile items, artwork, antiques, custom crating, or high-value pieces.
At Divine Moving & Storage, we give you a quote that reflects your actual inventory and needs—not a generic “per-unit” price that ends up costing more in the long run.
Full-Service Storage vs. Self-Storage Pricing
On paper, a self-storage unit might look cheaper. But once you add up truck rental, time off work, packing supplies, parking tickets, and your own labor, full-service storage often ends up being the smarter, more predictable investment—especially in NYC.
| Cost Factor | Full-Service Storage (Divine) | Typical Self-Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Storage Fee | Based on actual volume and services | Flat unit size, often larger than you need |
| Pickup & Delivery | Included or clearly itemized in quote | You rent a truck or hire separate movers |
| Packing & Protection | Available with professional crew & materials | DIY, plus cost of boxes and supplies |
| Your Time & Labor | Minimal—Divine handles the heavy lifting | Multiple trips, loading, unloading, driving |
| Hidden or Surprise Fees | Transparent, explained ahead of time | Late fees, lock fees, mandatory insurance, etc. |
If you want storage to feel like a service—not a second job—full-service storage with Divine is usually the best value in NYC.

How Divine Moving & Storage Prices NYC Storage
We keep pricing simple and honest. Instead of locking you into a random unit size, we:
- Take an inventory of what you’re storing.
- Ask about duration and access needs.
- Determine whether you need pickup, packing, and special handling.
- Provide a clear written quote with no surprise fees.
Your items are then stored in our secure warehouse at 550 Barry Street, Bronx, NY 10474, with professional handling and organized storage—not just shoved into a random locker.
Typical Storage Scenarios We Price Every Day
- Short-term storage between leases — a few weeks or months while you move within NYC or out of state.
- Renovation storage — storing furniture and boxes while contractors work.
- Seasonal or overflow storage — off-site space for items that don’t fit in your apartment or office.
- Business and inventory storage — warehousing for products, displays, and equipment.
Each scenario is priced based on how much you store and how long you need it—not a one-size-fits-all “average.”
How to Keep Your Storage Costs Under Control
- Declutter first: Don’t pay to store things you don’t want long-term.
- Be realistic about access: If you don’t need frequent access, simpler storage options are cheaper.
- Pack smart: Consolidated, well-packed boxes use less space.
- Combine services: Let Divine handle your move and storage together for better efficiency and pricing.
- Ask for options: Short-term vs. long-term, different service levels, or business storage solutions.
Our team will walk you through choices so you’re not overpaying for space or services you don’t actually need.
Frequently Asked Questions: Price of Storage in NYC
How much does storage cost in NYC?
Storage prices vary based on how much you store, how long you store, and what services you need. At Divine Moving & Storage, we provide a custom quote based on your actual inventory and requirements instead of forcing you into a generic unit size.
What affects the price of storage with Divine Moving & Storage?
Key factors include volume, duration, access needs, and any special handling or packing required. We’ll ask you a few questions, review your list of items, and then give you a clear quote with all costs explained up front.
Is full-service storage more expensive than self-storage?
Full-service storage may look more expensive at first, but it includes pickup, professional handling, and transportation—costs that self-storage does not cover. Once you add truck rentals, time, and labor, full-service storage is often comparable in price and much easier.
Do I pay extra for pickup and delivery?
Pickup and delivery are either included in your full-service storage package or clearly itemized in your quote. There are no surprise “access” fees. We explain how service and storage charges are structured before you book.
Are there hidden fees or surprise charges?
No. Divine Moving & Storage believes in straightforward, honest pricing. We do not bury extras in fine print. Any potential charges—such as additional packing, special handling, or extended storage—are discussed and agreed upon in advance.
How can I get an exact storage quote?
Call us or reach out online with a rough list of what you want to store and where you’re located. We’ll review your inventory, talk through timing and services, and provide a clear, written estimate for both storage and any moving services you choose.
