Packing fragile pieces is a time-consuming but necessary process. Proper boxing is the difference between your breakables arriving at your new home in one piece or hundreds of small pieces.
Packing Fragile Items

If you’ve hired a local moving company that charges by the hour, the best way to control costs is to minimize idle time. Most local movers base their hourly rate on crew size, travel time, and total labor hours, including packing and loading. Have boxes sealed, furniture disassembled, and access paths clear before the crew arrives. Being fully prepared allows movers to start working immediately. This reduces billable time and keeps your final invoice predictable.
Tips for Moving at an Hourly Rate

When planning a move, people often focus on large or high-value items. Smaller details are easier to overlook, but they still affect how the move goes. Movers need a clear picture of what they will face upon arrival. This helps them prepare and avoid last-minute changes.

Eliza was available during my move and was extremely helpful with a last minute request because I needed an extra storage space. She was very pro active and thought of the details of what I was going to need. She made the process more bearable because moving is never fun and easy. Thank you Eliza .

Public Storage was great! The people were super nice and helpful, the unit and facility was clean and easily accessible, and the process was simple. They do make you buy a $20 lock that is basically useless after you leave, but that's a small price to pay for great service.

Review
I was terribly mislead. The information I was given over the phone was not honored once I arrived at the facility. Apparently the storage center uses an offsite service to book its customers and they misrepresent the storage facility. The hours posted online was not the hours posted at the facility. I was charged more than the unit was advertised for and I was very unhappy about it. I went there for a $59 advertised special and ended up paying about $117?. Since I was in dire straits and had packed up all my things, paid a driver and traveled the 25 miles to the facility, I had no choice but to go ahead with the transaction. However, the front desk agent was very nice...

Finding and renting trusted self-storage facilities in Chicago, Illinois is now easier through MoversCorp. Compare options and rent storage near you with just a few clicks. 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 Illinois, 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 Chicago, Illinois.

  • 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 Chicago, Illinois?

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 Chicago?

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.

With years of storage industry experience, we’ve refined our services to meet your needs. Our Chicago storage facilities offer secure spaces for your valuables, giving you peace of mind. We prioritize customer service so you can feel confident choosing us. Booking is hassle-free with no credit card required.
