Public Storage unit prices in Charleston, SC

Most Charleston branches advertise several 10x10 units at once, and the second one costs 29% more than the first at the same address. The $38 headline is the entry price, not the shelf.

The Charleston market reaches 6 further towns: Goose Creek, Ladson, Mt Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Wando.

  • A 10x10 starts at $38 on Johnnie Dodds in Mt Pleasant and at $102 on Dorchester. The market median, $78, sits between them before the introductory rate lapses.
  • Space is cheapest by area in the 10x25, at $0.20 a square foot, and dearest in the 5x5 at $0.56.
  • Rates here land 17% under the US median, so what moves them is the region rather than any one address.
  • Median 10x10 by town, one branch counted once: $71 in Summerville, $90 in Charleston.

Where these numbers come from. 145 advertised prices read from Public Storage's own published listings across 22 locations, last checked 2026-08-27.

Online rate vs regular rate. Every listing publishes two figures. Measured across thousands of observations, the regular rate is 1.5× the online rate at the median, with 88% inside 1% of that and none outside 1.40–1.60×. That is a pricing rule, not a second quote. The online rate is the promotional price for booking on the web; the regular rate is what the unit reverts to. Budget on the regular rate. Comparisons here hold the basis constant, so the gap between locations is real either way.

These are advertised rates for new rentals, not quotes — Public Storage states prices are not guaranteed and they move with availability. Insurance, admin fees and limited-time offers are not included.

How this is measured. The sampling, the percentile method and the rules for withholding a figure are set out on the methodology page. The figures are published as CC BY 4.0 and may be reused with attribution.
