Storage Unit Sizes and Prices in Payson, UT
Pricing is one of the first things people ask about, so here it is up front — no "call for pricing" runaround. These are current monthly rates for our Payson storage units.

A few things worth pointing out about that table. First, the price gap between an indoor unit and a climate-controlled unit of the same size is usually $20 or less — which is a small premium for keeping a leather couch or a stack of family photo albums out of Utah's temperature swings. Second, drive-up units cost only a little more than interior units, and if you're loading and unloading often, the time you save is worth far more than the difference. Third, outdoor RV and boat parking here is genuinely inexpensive — $65 to $80 a month is less than most people spend on gas driving to a storage lot in Provo.

Climate-Controlled Storage Units in Payson
Payson sits at about 4,700 feet, and the weather here does not go easy on stored belongings. Summer afternoons push past 95°F, winter nights drop below freezing, and the dry-to-damp swing between seasons is exactly what warps wood, cracks vinyl, clouds photographs, and turns the glue in old furniture brittle. A standard metal storage unit tracks the outside temperature closely. A climate-controlled unit does not.
Climate control is the single biggest thing that separates this facility from the cheap gravel-lot operations nearby — the majority of our 325 units are climate controlled, which means you're not stuck on a waitlist hoping one opens up. We keep those units in a stable range year-round, which matters most for:
- Wood and upholstered furniture — solid wood expands and contracts with humidity swings, and joints loosen over a couple of seasons in an uncontrolled unit.
- Electronics and appliances — condensation forms inside cases when temperature swings fast, and that's what kills circuit boards.
- Documents, books, and photographs — paper curls, ink fades, and photos stick together in heat.
- Musical instruments — guitars and pianos are essentially humidity gauges with strings attached.
- Clothing, linens, and mattresses — fabric holds moisture and mildew is very difficult to reverse once it starts.
- Artwork, collectibles, and anything sentimental — if you'd be upset to lose it, it belongs in climate control.
Rule of thumb: if it's going in for more than three months, or you'd replace it rather than repair it, pay the extra $20 a month. Read more about climate-controlled storage in Payson.
Drive-Up Storage Units
Drive-up units are the ones with a roll-up door you can back a truck or trailer directly up to. No hallways, no elevators, no shoulder-carrying a dresser forty feet across a warehouse floor. For anyone moving a household, running a job site, or swapping seasonal gear in and out every few weeks, the convenience compounds fast.
We offer drive-up access in 10x10, 10x15, and 10x20 — enough to cover everything from a garage cleanout to a full three-bedroom move. Roll-up doors are wide enough for appliances and furniture that won't fit through a standard doorway, and the drive aisles are paved and wide enough to maneuver a 26-foot moving truck without a spotter.
Contractors and tradespeople in south Utah County lean heavily on these units for exactly that reason: pull up at 5 a.m., load the tools, get to the job, drop everything back after dark. With 24/7 access, no one is waiting on an office to open. See all drive-up storage units in Payson.
RV, Boat, Trailer & Vehicle Storage
Payson is a launching point for a lot of Utah recreation — Payson Lakes and the Nebo Loop are up the canyon, Utah Lake is fifteen minutes north, and I-15 puts you on the road to anywhere. That means a lot of driveways in this town are occupied nine months a year by something that only gets used three. Many HOAs won't allow it, and city ordinances in the area limit long-term street parking.
We store the whole range:
- Outdoor covered and open parking in 12x40 ($65/mo), 16x40 ($75/mo), and 12x50 ($80/mo) — sized for travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, boats on trailers, toy haulers, work trucks, and equipment trailers.
- Fully enclosed indoor RV and vehicle storage at 12.75' x 40' ($384/mo) — four walls and a roof between your rig and Utah hail, UV, and winter. For a motorhome that cost six figures, this is cheap insurance against sun-cracked seals and a bleached fiberglass cap.
Everything sits on paved, fenced, camera-monitored ground with lighting throughout, and the keycode gate means you can hitch up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday without calling anybody. Spaces accommodate rigs up to 40 feet.

24/7 Access, Security & an On-Site Manager
Security is the part of self storage nobody thinks about until something goes wrong. Here's what's actually in place at our Payson facility.
- 24/7 gate access with a personal keycode. Every entry is tied to your code and timestamped. Come at midnight on a Sunday if that's when the move happens.
- Perimeter fencing around the entire property, with a single controlled entry point.
- Security cameras covering drive aisles, the gate, and the parking areas.
- Bright lighting throughout — this is a facility you can walk at night without a flashlight.
- Paved surfaces everywhere, so you're not dragging boxes through mud in March.
- An on-site manager. This is the one that doesn't show up on comparison charts and matters most. Someone is here, watching the property, noticing when something is off.
That last point is a big part of why we hold a 4.8-star average across 50+ reviews, with customers repeatedly naming our manager, Kim, by name. More on 24-hour access storage.
Month-to-Month Rentals, No Long Contracts
Every unit rents month-to-month. There's no twelve-month lease, no early-termination penalty, and no obligation to keep paying for space you stopped needing. Storage demand is rarely predictable — a house closing slips, a deployment gets extended, a remodel finishes early — and your storage bill shouldn't punish you for that.
Move-in is straightforward: pick a size, sign a short agreement, get your gate code, and start loading the same day. Move-out is equally simple — give notice, empty the unit, sweep it, and you're done. Details on month-to-month storage.
How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
The most common mistake is renting too small and having to upgrade mid-move, which means handling everything twice. The second most common is renting too big and paying for empty air. Here's a practical breakdown.

5×5 — the closet
From $67/mo25 square feet, roughly the size of a hall closet. Holds about 20–30 boxes, a few totes of seasonal decorations, small sporting equipment, or a semester of dorm belongings. Good for documents and business records. Won't fit a mattress.

10×10 — the one-bedroom
From $115/mo100 square feet, roughly half a standard one-car garage. Holds a one-bedroom apartment including a sofa, bed, dining set, dresser, and 30+ boxes. The most-rented size in the industry, and the one to start with when in doubt.

12×40 to 12×50 — parking
From $65/moOutdoor spaces for travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, boats on trailers, toy haulers, and work trucks up to 40 feet. Paved, fenced, camera-monitored, and cheaper than most storage units.
5x10 — the studio
50 square feet, about the footprint of a small walk-in closet. Fits a queen mattress set on edge, a dresser, a bike, and 15–20 boxes. This is the workhorse size for someone between apartments or clearing one room. More on small storage units.
10x15 — the two-bedroom
150 square feet. A two-bedroom home's furniture, appliances, patio set, and boxes, with room to walk an aisle down the middle so you can reach the back without unpacking the front. Also popular with contractors storing materials alongside tools.
10x20 — the house
200 square feet, about a full one-car garage. Three-bedroom homes, major appliances, garage overflow, motorcycles, or a car with room left for boxes. This is the size for a full-household move or a long-term hold between homes. More on large storage units.
Two packing habits that make a smaller unit work: use uniform box sizes so they stack square to the ceiling, and leave a center aisle. Height is free space most people never use — a 10x10 with 8-foot ceilings is 800 cubic feet, and most tenants use maybe half of it.
Who Rents Storage Units in Payson
Families moving or between homes
South Utah County has grown quickly, and timing between a sale and a purchase rarely lines up cleanly. A month or two of storage bridges the gap and takes the pressure off closing dates.
Homeowners reclaiming a garage
A 10x10 costs $115 a month and gets your cars back under a roof through a Utah winter. For most households that's the entire justification.
Local businesses and contractors
Inventory, seasonal stock, tools, job-site materials, records, and equipment — at a fraction of commercial warehouse rates, with drive-up loading and 24/7 access. See business storage options.
Students and seasonal residents
UVU and BYU are a short drive north. Summers, missions, and semesters abroad all create the same need: somewhere safe to leave everything for a few months without hauling it home.
Outdoor recreation households
Boats, campers, ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and ski gear cycling in and out with the seasons — the defining storage pattern of this part of Utah.
U-Haul Truck Rentals On Site
We're an authorized U-Haul dealer, so you can rent the truck and the unit in the same stop instead of driving to Spanish Fork for one and back to Payson for the other. If you're doing a self-move, that saves a trip and a lot of coordination. We also carry moving supplies — boxes, tape, and protective materials — so you're not making a hardware-store run in the middle of loading. U-Haul truck rental in Payson · moving supplies.
Storage Units Near Payson — Areas We Serve
We're at the I-15 Payson exit, which makes us a practical option well beyond city limits. Regular tenants come from across south Utah County and northern Juab County, and for most of these towns we're closer or cheaper than the alternatives in Provo and Orem.
- Salem ~5 min
- Spanish Fork ~10 min
- Santaquin ~10 min
- Elk Ridge ~10 min
- Mapleton ~15 min
- Springville ~18 min
- Nephi ~30 min
If you're outside city limits and searching for storage units Payson Utah residents and neighbors actually use, the I-15 access is usually what decides it — most of our out-of-town tenants tell us the drive is shorter than the one to the facility in their own town. Also convenient to Genola, Goshen, Benjamin, Lake Shore, and Payson Canyon. Find storage units near you.
What Does a Storage Unit Cost in Utah?
Statewide, a 10x10 typically runs somewhere in the $110–$180 range depending on the market, with Salt Lake and north Utah County at the higher end and rural southern Utah at the lower. Our Payson 10x10 starts at $115, which puts us at the bottom of that band while still including climate-control options, 24/7 access, and an on-site manager — three things budget facilities usually drop first.
Watch the add-ons, not the sticker price. Administrative fees, mandatory insurance you may already have through a homeowner's or renter's policy, required lock purchases, and teaser rates that step up after 60 days all change the real number. A $99 unit that becomes $145 in month three isn't cheaper than a straightforward $115.
