Choosing the right storage unit isn't just about price—it's about finding a solution that matches your actual needs. If you'll be accessing your unit frequently, location matters more than saving a few bucks each month. Storing a leather couch? Then climate control is essential. Just need space for plastic bins and tools? A basic unit will work fine.

The answer depends on what you're storing. Temperature swings and humidity cause wood to warp, electronics to corrode, and documents to deteriorate. Climate control prevents this by maintaining consistent conditions.
Climate Control is recommended for:
In Albuquerque, 20 facilities offer climate-controlled units starting at $21.50/month (average $56.03). The lowest price can be found at CubeSmart Self Storage - 106th Street Southwest.
Climate control typically adds 15-25% to your monthly rate, but it prevents damage from heat and humidity. Worth it if you're storing anything valuable or temperature-sensitive.
The best storage unit isn't always the cheapest one—it's the one you'll actually use.
If you need daily access, pay extra for close-to-home convenience. For monthly visits, driving a bit farther to save money makes sense. For long-term storage where you rarely visit, total cost and security matter more than location.
The best deals often sit outside downtown Albuquerque where land costs less. Use distance and price filters to find the best value near you.
Match security to what you're storing. Basic items need basic protection—perimeter fencing and gate codes. Valuables need more: video cameras, gated access with individual codes, unit alarms, on-site management, and good lighting.
Ask about the facility's security track record during your tour. Check online reviews for mentions of break-ins or security issues.
Drive-up units allow you to pull right up to the door. No elevators, no hallways—just back up and unload. Great for heavy items or frequent access.
In Albuquerque, 37 facilities offer drive-up units starting at $19.00/month (average $71.89). The lowest price today can be found at AAA U-Lock-It Self Storage - 2125
Indoor units offer better protection from weather and typically include climate control. Better for household goods, but you'll need to deal with elevators and hallways.
Most facilities in Albuquerque require insurance. Check if your homeowner's or renter's insurance already covers items in storage before buying the facility's policy.
