Easy Storage Search has helped people find, compare, and budget for storage and moving for 20 years. Whether you need a storage unit down the street, a container for a cross-country move, or a safe place to park your RV for the winter, our goal is simple: give you clear, honest numbers so you can make a confident decision.
How It Started
Easy Storage Search was founded in 2006 by Jason Keeley, out of plain frustration. He needed a self storage unit and assumed comparing prices would take a few minutes. Instead, it meant calling facility after facility, visiting one website after another, and trying to line up unit sizes, prices, and move-in specials that were never presented the same way twice. There was no simple way to see all of his options in one place.
So he built one. Easy Storage Search began as a straightforward way to compare self storage prices side by side. It has grown into a resource for nearly every part of storing and moving your things.
What We Do
Compare storage prices in one place
That original idea is still at the heart of the site. Search by location to compare self storage facilities, unit sizes, prices, and current specials, then reserve a unit online, usually for free and in just a few minutes. We also cover car, boat, and RV storage and portable storage containers.
Cost calculators for real-world budgets
Most people want to know one thing before they commit: what is this going to cost me? Our free calculators give you a realistic estimate in about a minute, based on current national pricing, with a line-by-line breakdown so you can see where the money goes.
- Storage: self storage, car storage, RV storage, boat storage, and shipping containers
- Moving: local moves, long-distance moves, PODS containers, and moving labor
- Vehicle shipping: car shipping and motorcycle shipping
- Before and after the move: move-out cleaning, junk removal, and dumpster rental
Guides that answer the real questions
Our guides cover the details that matter when you are spending real money: which storage unit size you actually need, what’s worth paying extra for, how to vet a car shipper, and how to avoid surprise fees. We also track current PODS promo codes and write hands-on reviews, like our Montway review after shipping three cars.
How We Research and Price
Storage and moving prices change with the seasons, the local market, and the economy, so a price guide is only useful if it is current. We build our cost estimates from up-to-date market data, cross-check them against multiple industry sources, and revisit our calculators and guides regularly to keep them in line with what people are actually paying. Every estimate shows a typical range, not just a single number, because your local quotes will vary.
When something we publish no longer matches the market, we update it. And when a calculator gives you a number, we tell you exactly what went into it. Read our full Editorial Policy.
How We Make Money
Easy Storage Search is free to use. We earn a commission from some of the companies we link to, such as storage marketplaces, moving container companies, and auto transport brokers, when you make a reservation or booking through our links. This never costs you anything extra, and it’s what lets us keep our calculators and guides free. We aim to recommend only services we believe offer real value, and we point out the drawbacks as well as the benefits. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Our Mission
Twenty years ago, comparing storage prices meant a day of phone calls. Our mission hasn’t changed since then: make storage and moving decisions simpler, faster, and more transparent, so you can spend less time searching and less money getting settled.
