Public Storage 5x10 prices in Columbia

Most Columbia branches list several 5x10 units at once, differing by floor, door and climate control. The cheapest across 24 locations is $26, against $53 for a typical one; read the range column before assuming that is what you get.

The cheapest of the 24, at $26, rates 4.9 over 186 reviews — none of the others is rated higher, so the low price here is not the trade-off it often is.

The further half of the 24 runs 25% below the closer half, out by Blythewood, though the $26 unit is not the furthest of them.

Cheapest on 8911 Farrow Rd in Columbia; also stocked in Elgin, Blythewood, Lexington, Cayce and West Columbia.

Where these numbers come from. 24 advertised prices read from Public Storage's own published listings across 24 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.
