How Much Does a Storage Unit Cost in Bend, Oregon?

Published on 9/11/2026

The cost of a storage unit in Bend, Oregon typically ranges from about $50 per month for a small unit to $350 or more for a large conventional unit. For two of the most popular sizes, current Bend street-rate data puts a 10x10 at about $185 per month and a 10x20 at about $273 per month.

Those numbers are a useful starting point, but storage prices are not based on size alone. Drive-up access, climate control, location, availability, facility features, and promotional pricing can all affect what you pay.

At Three Peaks Storage, our current drive-up storage rates are:

Unit Size Floor Space Monthly Rate
10x10 100 sq. ft. $189
10x20 200 sq. ft. $289
10x22 220 sq. ft. $309
12x24 Premium Flex Space 288 sq. ft. $900

For comparison, current Yardi Matrix data puts Bend's average non-climate-controlled 10x10 at $185 and the average 10x20 at $273. That puts our 10x10 just $4 above the Bend average and our 10x20 $16 above the average, with convenient drive-up access at our gated facility with digital video surveillance.

What Is the Average Cost of a Storage Unit in Bend?

According to August 2026 street-rate data from Yardi Matrix, the average storage unit in Bend costs approximately $206 per month across all sizes.

Storage Unit Size Average Bend Rate
5x5 $82/month
5x10 $128/month
10x10 $185/month
10x15 $213/month
10x20 $273/month
10x30 $355/month

These figures are useful for comparing conventional storage because they represent broader street-rate data rather than simply the lowest promotional offer currently available online.

Other storage marketplaces report lower averages. UnitSight, for example, reports August 2026 advertised rates of $136 for a standard 10x10 and $185 for a standard 10x20.

The difference comes down largely to methodology. UnitSight says its figures are advertised web rates collected from Bend facilities and represent prices for new rentals, not what existing tenants necessarily pay.

Why Do Bend Storage Price Averages Vary So Much?

Search for a 10x10 storage unit in Bend and you may see one website report an average around $135 while another reports $185. Neither number is necessarily wrong.

Storage pricing websites may measure different things, including regular street rates, online-only rates, introductory rates, promotional rates, different groups of facilities, indoor and drive-up units, or climate-controlled and standard units.

SpareFoot, for example, reported a July 2026 Bend average of $135.45 for a 10x10 and $248.65 for a 10x20. Its listings also include online move-in rates and promotions such as discounted or free first months.

Public Storage currently reports even lower Bend averages for some unit sizes, but it notes that online rates apply to online reservations and rentals, vary by property, and can change without notice.

When comparing storage prices, the better question is not simply who has the lowest advertised price. The better question is what you will pay for the type of unit you actually need and what is included in that price.

How Much Does a 10x10 Storage Unit Cost in Bend?

A useful benchmark for a 10x10 storage unit in Bend is approximately $185 per month, based on current Yardi Matrix non-climate-controlled street-rate data.

Source: RentCafe/Yardi Matrix

A 10x10 provides approximately 100 square feet of floor space and is one of the most versatile storage unit sizes.

It is a practical choice for apartment moves, furniture, household belongings, boxes, seasonal items, bikes, outdoor gear, business supplies, and smaller remodeling projects.

Local drive-up pricing gives additional context. Bend Storage currently lists a 10x10 drive-up unit at $175 per month.

Source: Bend Storage

At Three Peaks Storage, a 10x10 drive-up storage unit is $189 per month.

That puts our rate within a few dollars of Bend's current $185 non-climate-controlled market average while providing the convenience of drive-up access.

How Much Does a 10x20 Storage Unit Cost in Bend?

Current Yardi Matrix data puts the average non-climate-controlled 10x20 storage unit in Bend at approximately $273 per month.

Source: RentCafe/Yardi Matrix

A 10x20 provides about 200 square feet of floor space, making it a better fit for larger household moves, multiple rooms of furniture, appliances, remodeling projects, business inventory, tools, equipment, and bulky household belongings.

Bend Storage currently lists its 10x20 drive-up unit at $255 per month.

Source: Bend Storage

At Three Peaks Storage, a 10x20 drive-up storage unit is $289 per month.

That is $16 above the current Bend street-rate average.

The larger unit also provides better value per square foot than our 10x10. A 10x10 costs about $1.89 per square foot per month, while the 10x20 comes to approximately $1.45 per square foot.

What About a 10x22 Storage Unit?

A 10x22 storage unit provides approximately 220 square feet of floor space, or 10% more space than a standard 10x20.

Because 10x22 units are not as common as 10x10 and 10x20 units, reliable Bend-wide averages for the exact size are harder to find.

At Three Peaks Storage, a 10x22 drive-up storage unit is $309 per month.

That is only $20 more per month than our 10x20 for an additional 20 square feet of floor space.

If your belongings would tightly fill a 10x20, the additional depth can provide useful room for bulky furniture, equipment, inventory, or a more accessible aisle through the unit.

How Much Does Premium Flex Space Cost?

Three Peaks Storage also offers a larger 12x24 Premium Flex Space for $900 per month.

A 12x24 provides approximately 288 square feet of floor space and is intended for larger storage requirements, including approved business inventory, equipment, contractor storage, and other larger-scale storage needs.

Premium Flex Space serves a different purpose than a conventional storage unit, so it should not be compared with a standard 10x10 or 10x20 based on square footage alone.

Drive-Up vs. Indoor Storage: Does It Affect the Price?

It can.

Drive-up storage allows you to pull your vehicle close to the unit door rather than carrying belongings through a building.

That can be particularly useful when you are moving furniture, appliances, heavy boxes, tools, equipment, or business inventory.

Local pricing shows that convenience can carry a premium. Bend Storage currently lists its indoor 10x10 at $150 per month and its drive-up 10x10 at $175 per month.

Source: Bend Storage

This is why comparing a cheap indoor 10x10 with a drive-up 10x10 is not necessarily a fair comparison.

Three Peaks Storage offers drive-up storage units, allowing customers to pull their vehicles close to their units for easier loading and unloading.

What About Climate-Controlled Storage?

Climate control can also affect the monthly price.

UnitSight's August 2026 Bend data reports higher average pricing for climate-controlled units in several common sizes.

Size Standard Climate Controlled
5x5 $66 $75
5x10 $91 $109
10x10 $136 $190
10x15 $174 $214
10x20 $185 $324

Source: UnitSight

The premium varies by facility and unit size, so do not assume climate control always costs a specific percentage more.

Three Peaks Storage does not offer climate-controlled storage.

If you are storing belongings that are particularly sensitive to temperature changes, determine whether conventional storage is appropriate before choosing a unit based on price.

Watch Out for Promotional Storage Prices

A unit advertised at $120 per month is not necessarily a $120-per-month unit forever.

Storage companies commonly advertise first-month discounts, free-month offers, online-only pricing, and introductory web rates.

These can be legitimate ways to save money, but they can also make two facilities look much farther apart in price than they really are.

Public Storage provides a useful example. Some Bend listings show online rates that are lower than in-store rates, along with administrative fees and promotional first-month offers.

Source: Public Storage

That does not make the promotion a bad deal. It does mean you should understand which price you are comparing.

Compare the Total Cost, Not Just the Headline Price

Before deciding which storage facility offers the best value, ask how long the advertised rate lasts, what the regular rate is, whether there is an administrative fee, whether insurance is required, whether the unit is drive-up or indoor, what the access hours are, and whether the monthly rate can change later.

If you plan to rent for several months, calculate what you expect to pay over the entire rental period rather than looking only at move-in pricing.

What Other Fees Can Storage Facilities Charge?

Administrative Fees

Some facilities charge a one-time administrative or move-in fee.

Public Storage currently shows a $29 administrative fee on Bend listings.

Source: Public Storage

Other facilities take a different approach. U-Haul Storage of Bend currently advertises no deposit and no administrative fee, along with a one-year price lock.

Tenant Insurance

A storage facility may offer or require insurance or another coverage option for stored belongings.

If you already have homeowners or renters insurance, check with your insurer to determine whether your belongings are covered while stored away from your residence and what limits or exclusions apply.

Locks

You may need to provide or purchase an approved lock.

Late Fees

If rent is not paid on time, late fees may apply according to the rental agreement.

Cleaning, Disposal and Damage Charges

A facility may charge customers for damage, excessive cleaning, trash removal, or disposal of property left behind.

Before renting, review the agreement and understand both your move-in cost and ongoing monthly cost.

Why Do Storage Rates Change?

Self-storage pricing is affected by supply and demand.

If a facility has many empty 10x10 units, it may lower the rate or offer a promotion to fill them. If only one or two remain, the same facility has less reason to discount them.

Demand can also change throughout the year as people move, remodel, downsize, or need temporary storage.

This means a price you saw several months ago may not still be available when you are ready to rent.

Is Storage More Expensive During Summer in Bend?

Summer can bring increased demand from moving, home sales, remodeling, and other seasonal activity.

That does not mean every Bend storage facility automatically raises its rates each summer.

Availability is usually more important. If you know you will need a particular unit size during a busy moving period, waiting can mean having fewer units to choose from.

How to Save Money on a Storage Unit in Bend

Choose the Right Unit Size

Do not pay for space you will not use.

If everything fits comfortably into a 10x10, renting a 10x20 simply gives you more floor space than you need.

Use Vertical Space

Storage units have height as well as floor space. Stack sturdy containers safely and use appropriate shelving to take advantage of the full unit.

Disassemble Furniture

Bed frames, tables, and other furniture can consume much less space when properly disassembled.

Compare Regular Rates

If you are storing belongings for six months or a year, a first-month discount has much less impact on your total cost.

Pay attention to what happens after the promotion ends.

Compare Similar Units

Compare drive-up with drive-up, climate-controlled with climate-controlled, and similar locations and facility features whenever possible.

Consider Convenience

A facility across town might save you $15 per month, but if you need to visit your unit every week, the additional driving time and fuel may wipe out that savings.

Is a Larger Storage Unit a Better Value?

Often, yes, on a price-per-square-foot basis.

Unit Monthly Rate Approx. Cost Per Sq. Ft.
10x10 $189 $1.89
10x20 $289 $1.45
10x22 $309 $1.40

The 10x20 gives you twice the floor space of the 10x10 for about 53% more per month.

The 10x22 gives you another 20 square feet for just $20 more than the 10x20.

Price per square foot should not determine your decision by itself. The cheapest storage unit is usually the smallest one that comfortably fits everything you need to store.

Is Storage Expensive in Bend, Oregon?

Storage in Bend is difficult to summarize as simply cheap or expensive because the market includes a wide range of products and pricing strategies.

Current Yardi Matrix street-rate data puts the average non-climate-controlled 10x10 at $185 and the 10x20 at $273.

At the same time, online marketplaces and national operators advertise some units well below those averages.

For someone actually renting a unit, the most useful comparison is the price of a comparable unit with the features you need.
