What fits in a 10x20

200 square feet, roughly a standard garage. A three-bed house, or a saloon car with household goods packed around it. At the median online rate that is $0.75 a square foot.

That much is industry guidance; no listing records what was stored.

Where these numbers come from. 7,076 advertised prices read from Public Storage's own published listings across 4,042 locations in 325 markets, last checked 2026-08-12.

Online rate vs regular rate. Every listing publishes two figures and the regular rate is 1.5× the online rate at the median. That is a pricing rule, not a second quote. Figures here are the online rate (the promotional price for booking on the web) unless labelled otherwise. Budget on the regular rate.

Advertised rates for new rentals, not quotes; they move with availability. Insurance, admin fees and limited-time offers are excluded. This covers Public Storage only. Other operators do not publish per-location pricing in a form that can be read. Not affiliated with Public Storage.
