Desert heat isn't negotiable. Non-climate units in Phoenix hit 115°F in summer, sometimes 130°F+ inside metal drive-up units. But it's not just the peak heat—it's the 40-degree daily temperature swings that crack wood joints, warp vinyl, and destroy anything with glue.
We track 121 facilities with climate control across Phoenix. The cheapest option right now is $7.00/month at Extra Space Storage - 1625 - Glendale - N 59th Ave. Average runs $34.17/month.
Worth it for furniture, electronics, documents, photos, instruments, leather—anything you'd keep inside your house. Skip it for tools, plastic bins, outdoor gear, and camping equipment. Those handle desert conditions fine.
Not all climate control is equal in Phoenix. Older facilities might only cool to 85°F. Newer ones in Chandler and Gilbert maintain steady a 72°F. Ask what temperature they actually maintain before you book.

Phoenix RV storage is a huge business. Most HOAs across the Valley ban RV parking in driveways or streets. Snowbirds need summer storage when they head back north. And retirees in Sun City, Fountain Hills, and Mesa need year-round parking.
Uncovered storage is cheapest, but desert sun destroys RV roofs, fades paint, and cracks seals within two years. Covered spots cost more but prevent thousands in UV damage. Fully enclosed, climate-controlled exists, but runs 3-4x the price of an uncovered one.
West Valley facilities beat Scottsdale and North Phoenix on RV pricing. Sometimes dramatically.
124 Phoenix facilities offer drive-up units where you pull right to the door. The cheapest is $7.00/month at Extra Space Storage - 1625 - Glendale - N 59th Ave. The average is $122.68/month.
Drive-up makes sense for loading during cooler morning hours. Nobody wants to haul boxes through hallways when it's 110°F at 2pm.
Big trade-off: drive-up units aren't climate-controlled. They're metal garages that bake in the desert sun. In the morning they might be 75°F inside, but by afternoon, they hit 130°F+. Only use drive-up units for heat-resistant items.
5 facilities offer actual 24/7 access. The cheapest is $29.00/month at Arizona Storage Inns - Phelps. The average is $33.20/month.
Worth it in Phoenix if you're loading early morning when it's still cool or late evening after the sun goes down. Summer makes this more valuable than other cities.
The are several facilities offering first month free storage deals. Check listings above—these change monthly.
September through February, there tend to be more promotions running. May through August, there are less so because everyone moves before the summer heat hits. Nobody wants to move in 115°F.
Moving during the summer anyway? Book 4-6 weeks early. Units fill up fast when the small window of the spring moving season closes.
Phoenix metro is massive—bigger than the entire state of New Jersey. That changes how "near" works.
How often are you going there?

Some facilities prohibit them entirely, while others allow them with restrictions. Storing prohibited items can violate your lease agreement and result in access restrictions. Review your lease's prohibited items section to avoid issues.
