Moving Antiques and Artwork

Some moving companies will not load plants on a moving truck. Plants are too easily damaged. You should prepare and move plants to your new location yourself.
Moving Plants

When planning a move, people often overlook insurance coverage until something breaks. Damage during a move can involve several parties, including your insurer and the moving company. Coverage depends on how, where, and when the damage occurs. Renters' and homeowners' insurance policies usually protect personal belongings.

They do not automatically cover repairs or replacement for items damaged by professional movers. Understanding where your policy’s responsibility ends and where a mover’s liability begins helps you avoid costly gaps in coverage during a move.

Hidden moving charges are always a big concern. Learn how to avoid these charges on your final bill by finding out what hidden fees can be added when hiring a professional mover.

Seems weird to rate a storage place but this one is far and above my previous experiences. Entire property is immaculately maintained. I rented parking for my RV. The lot was very spacious and easy to maneuver around. Very secure too. Megan who helped me was extremely friendly and very thorough explaining the process.

Overall the experience was good. The first staff person I met was very friendly. The units were a little hard to find once you got in but the staff helped me find it. The oly big negative was that one of the elevators wasn't working which slowed everything down.

The property manager, Dorothy assisted me over the phone and when I came to the location. I called during a time of distress, having just been through a hard time and needing to move my things right away. Dorothy was very warm, welcoming, and kind, which gave me comfort and confidence about the hardship I was going through. The day I went in to move, her and Mike were both very kind and helpful. They made me feel at home and it made all the difference. I was happy to pay the price!

Pretty straight-forward-- the inside of my cube was a little dirty and the metal on the walls were falling apart, so I knocked down 2 stars for that. Other than that, everything else was pretty good and I would recommend this facility. Just one note--I went to the Elk Grove location to use a truck and it was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. Front desk person was (she said she was new, but there's still a base-level of competency a worker should have) unprofessional, unhelpful, and straight up incompetent at her job. I would never visit this location again.

Finding and renting trusted self-storage facilities in Des Plaines, 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 Des Plaines, 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 Des Plaines, 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 Des Plaines?

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.
