How MoversCorp Can Help You

If you need to leave belongings behind, dispose of them responsibly to reduce environmental impact and avoid legal issues. This guide covers donation, recycling, and safe waste management.
How to Dispose of Appliances and Electronics

Before you move, we recommend finding out the value of your belongings. There are several ways to do this. Follow this guide to estimate the value of your items.
How Much Are Your Items Worth?

Self-storage facilities limit certain items to prevent damage, theft, pests, or legal problems. Common banned items include flammable chemicals, perishable food, live animals, and firearms. These rules are not only about safety. They also help facilities keep insurance coverage, follow state laws, and lower liability.

Many restrictions match those used by moving companies since both face similar transport and safety concerns. Understanding these rules can help you avoid accidental violations and protect your belongings and nearby units.
What You Are Not Allowed to Store

Moving is more than packing boxes; it requires planning, coordination, and time management. While it may seem like plenty of time, unexpected issues like delayed utility setups, last-minute packing, or rental truck shortages can make the process stressful. Starting early helps you budget, gather supplies, and handle surprises without added pressure.

This Storage is located inside the former K-Mart. It is very secure: no one is going to access your unit unless they first get past a very good front security into the main building. I made my reservation online. Then, over the phone with a very helpful woman who called me shortly after I made the reservation. There was a docusign, I was emailed a map, and had my door code. On the day I checked in, it was lunch tome for the onsite people, but no issues since I had been told the lock I had purchased would be inside my unit. And it was there. Best of all, she gave me the email to send my homeownerテ「竄ャ邃「s insurance so I will not be charged for that. Overall theeasiest, fastest and best signup and move in experience ever!

Moving from my current place and needed to start using the unit that same day. Did my paperwork on my phone, signed for it and everything got vehicle loaded up and started moving things in. Love the fact I didn't have to go meet with staff before move in. The lock was already in my unit. No complaints so far

We provide the convenience of reserving affordable storage units online or by phone. No credit card or long-term contract is required. Consider us as your solution for finding and reserving a storage facility throughout Iowa, including options for mini storage units and storage containers to suit a variety of needs.

The cheapest storage unit in your area may not always be the best choice. Please consider the following factors when selecting a storage unit in West Des Moines, Iowa.

  • Monthly rates are based on features such as 24/7 access, climate control, facility security, location, and overall demand in your area.

  • For household goods, the most common storage unit sizes are 5x5, 5x10, 10x10, and 10X15. For added flexibility, some companies also offer portable mini storage units for rent for temporary residential use that can be delivered to your property or hauled by you for on-site storage.

  • Many facilities offer larger unit sizes for commercial and business storage, like 10x20 or 10x30. These sizes are ideal for storing office equipment, inventory, or business records. These sizes can also accommodate vehicles, making them a great option for car storage.

  • Most storage facilities require insurance for stored items. If you don’t have your own policy, you may need to buy one through the facility, adding about $15 to $50 to your storage rental cost each month. Some places also charge a refundable deposit or an administrative fee when you move in. Always ask about these costs and refund conditions before signing a lease.

  • Storage facilities with flexible leases allow you to rent on a month-to-month basis. Be aware that storage unit price increases are common. Many customers say their rates go up after a few months, sometimes more than once a year. Since storage rentals are month-to-month, facilities can raise prices with proper notice. Ask about potential rate increases before committing to a unit.

  • The monthly rent will also depend on whether a facility offers climate-controlled units or only drive-up units. Climate-controlled units cost more than drive-up units or storage containers.

  • Most locations have digital keypad access, which provides you with your personal access code. Check with the office for availability.
  • Consider drive-up access for easier loading and unloading, especially for heavy or bulky items.

  • Some facilities may provide extra room or rental space for public use, such as areas for organizing or handling your stored items. Contact the property manager to confirm availability.

  • Check for online reviews and recommendations. Local experts can guide renters to facilities that stay available and maintain reliable service during peak demand.

  • Ask the office about the preventive security measures for safeguarding the location. Facilities with experienced staff often maintain stronger daily oversight by monitoring access logs and responding quickly to tenant concerns.


Are there free storage deals in West Des Moines, Iowa?

Many companies offer promotions for new customers, such as a free first month. Search by your zip code or distance to locate cheap storage units that come with the first month free and other decent storage discounts. Take advantage of specials if you're a first-time renter.


How do I find the cheapest storage in West Des Moines?

You can sort by price, from low to high, to find affordable options on our website. Away from the city center, you have a better chance of finding inexpensive storage rental solutions. The facility's size and amenities affect the monthly price.


What is the difference between an indoor and outdoor unit?

You have easy access to your unit when it is an outdoor unit. If the unit is indoors, you must first enter the building to get to it.


What is the difference between office hours and gate hours?

The property's operating hours are during office hours. The store manager will be on duty to help you with your questions. If you have questions or need help outside these hours, look up the property's phone number to contact the leasing office directly. The gate hours determine when you can enter the property and use your unit.
