Philadelphia's storage options vary significantly by neighborhood. Some areas have drive-up facilities along major roads, while others feature multi-story buildings with drive in loading bays and elevator access. Knowing what's actually available in each part of the city saves you time and money.

Access: Roosevelt Blvd/US-1, drive-up common, RV/boat spaces, near airport
West Philly storage gets slammed by Penn State and Drexel students every May. Many facilities along Market Street serve the university area. These locations run student promotions and do month-to-month rentals - if you are booking here, reserve early before the rush when prices spike.
The Market-Frankford Line runs through here. Parking on residential streets near campus is tight, so having your own parking lot at the facility helps.
Access: Market-Frankford Line, fills up May/August, student deals common
South Philly facilities are cheaper than downtown locations. Snapbox operates at 2240 Island Avenue with fully indoor heated units and no-deposit, month-to-month terms. The Island Avenue spot sits near I-95 and also serves Darby, Yeadon, and Southwest Philly neighborhoods.
The I-95 runs right through South Philly with multiple exits. The Broad Street Line also connects south neighborhoods to Center City. Pricing here usually beats downtown, if you have a way to get there.

Of the 73 storage facilities we track across Philadelphia:
Climate control matters in Philadelphia's river valley climate. The Delaware River creates localized humidity that affects storage differently than inland areas. Facilities near the river or in South Philadelphia experience higher moisture levels than Northeast Philadelphia or suburban locations. Winter nor'easters bring rapid temperature drops (20-30 degrees in hours) that cause condensation inside drive up units.
Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperature (typically 55-80°F) and humidity (30-50% relative humidity) year-round. 54 Philadelphia storage facilities offer climate control. The cheapest option is $7.00/month at Extra Space Storage - 6093 - Philadelphia - Ridge Ave. The average price you can expect to pay for climate-controlled storage is $40.72/month.
The premium for climate controlled storage is worth it for temperature sensitive items and precious belongings.
Location is a major cost factor in Philadelphia. Storage pricing varies across the city and surrounding counties based on real estate costs and facility density.
Philadelphia traffic on I-95, I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway), and local roads affects storage accessibility. If you need frequent access, choose facilities close to home or work. For monthly or less frequent visits, you can save money with secure storage in nearby suburbs like Delaware County or Montgomery County.
Use our distance filters to compare pricing across different Philadelphia neighborhoods and nearby areas. The lowest prices we found (starting at $7.20/month for 5×5 units) come from facilities in surrounding areas.
Drive-up units let you back your vehicle directly to your storage door. 30 Philadelphia storage facilities offer drive-up access, starting at $15.00/month. The best priced drive up units on January 27, 2026, are at Public Storage - Philadelphia - 1251 Byberry Road.
Drive-up access makes loading significantly easier for heavy items or frequent visits. This matters in Philadelphia, where older residential buildings don't have elevators and row homes have narrow staircases. Moving furniture down three flights of stairs, then loading it into a vehicle parked three blocks away, then unloading at an indoor storage facility with elevators—that's like moving three times.
Drive-up storage reduces this to one lift: from your vehicle directly into your unit. Particularly convenient, if you're storing business inventory, seasonal items you access regularly, or moving between apartments during peak season when Philadelphia's narrow residential streets fill with moving trucks competing for loading zones.
Trade-off: Most drive-up units don't include climate control. Indoor facilities typically offer climate-controlled units but require navigating hallways and elevators.
Storage King USA - 174 - Sharon Hill, PA - Hook Rd has the lowest priced 24/7 access storage units in Philadelphia at $29.00/month. Most facilities operate during extended hours, typically 6am-9pm or similar schedules.
24/7 access considerations: Round-the-clock access works well for contractors, shift workers, and small businesses needing flexible schedules. Most Philadelphia facilities with 24/7 access also have security cameras, gated entry, and individual unit alarms for secure storage at any hour.
Students from the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Drexel create huge storage demand in late April-Early May when school ends for the summer.
Most students rent 5×5 units (dorm room contents) starting at $7.20/month or 5×10 units (1 bedroom apartment) starting at $14.00/month. Split a 5×10 with a buddy and cut the rent in half!
Book early for May move-out season. Facilities near Philadelphia campuses fill up fast by late April. Many facilities offer student promotions and short term leases.
We track 19 facilities offering vehicle, boat and RV storage across Philadelphia.
Philadelphia boating centers around the Delaware River, with marinas at Penn's Landing, Pier 5, and Anchorage Marina. The Schuylkill River serves smaller boats and kayaks between the Delaware and the Art Museum. Most boat owners launching from Philadelphia marinas or using the Frankford Creek and Linden Avenue boat ramps store their vessels during off-season or between trips.
Facilities offering boat storage cluster near these waterways - particularly in Northeast Philadelphia along the Delaware, South Philadelphia near the river confluence, and suburbs like Ridley Park and Bensalem where marinas operate. Most offer outdoor parking for boats on trailers, with some providing covered spaces or indoor storage.
| Space Size | Starting Price | Average Price |
|---|---|---|
| 20-foot spaces | $41.00/month | $102.71/month |
| 25-foot spaces | $54.00/month | $118.43/month |
| 30-foot spaces | $66.00/month | $175.96/month |
| 40-foot spaces (RVs, boats) | $108.00/month | $157.00/month |
Philadelphia's winter road maintenance program uses salt extensively from November through March. This salt causes corrosion on vehicle undercarriages, brake lines, and exhaust systems.
Philadelphia's freeze-thaw cycle creates additional challenges. Temperatures frequently cross the freezing point multiple times per week during winter months, causing expansion and contraction that damages rubber seals, cracks plastic components, and stresses metal connections.
Indoor storage eliminates exposure to salt and temperature extremes. Climate-controlled units maintain steady temperatures that prevent battery drain, preserve fluid viscosity, and protect sensitive electronics.
Measure your vehicle dimensions before booking. Storage spaces have height, width, and length restrictions. Boats on trailers require additional clearance and turning radius. RVs may need facilities with higher bay doors. Confirm these specifications with the facility before reserving.
