Storage in San Diego: units, vaults and containers
Storage that picks up.

Our crew picks up and loads. Short-term storage during a move is included.

Your options
What kinds of storage does One Stop offer?
Three kinds. A storage unit at a fixed monthly price, from $245 for a 5×10. Full-service vault storage at 68–72°F, priced by the space your things fill. Or a portable container on your driveway from $99 a month. Our crew can pick up and load for all three.
Storage units
Six sizes from 5×10 to 10×30 at published monthly prices. This is full-service storage, not self storage: our crew picks up and loads ($750 per truck), or you drop off by appointment. There is no 24-hour gate access; every visit is booked with our staff.

Vehicle storageWhat it costs
How much does a storage unit cost in San Diego?
A 5×10 unit is $245 a month in San Diego County and a 10×30 is $730. A 10×10, which usually holds about a one-bedroom home, is $355. Loading into storage is $750 per truck, each access visit is $75, and billing is monthly, not prorated.
These prices come straight from One Stop’s published tariff, so you can check them against your written estimate.
What fits in each size is a rule of thumb. We size the unit with you during the estimate, so you don’t pay for space you won’t fill.
Storage unit prices, per month

|---|---|---|
| 5 × 10Fits a studio, or a few rooms of furniture | $245 | $275 |

Other storage charges
Rates from One Stop’s published tariff. Full-service vault storage uses the same monthly prices. Short-term storage during a move is included.
Full-service vaults
What is full-service vault storage?
You never drive to a unit. Our crew wraps your furniture, picks it up at your door and stores it in vaults at our Sorrento Valley facility, kept at 68–72°F with humidity control. Vault storage uses the same monthly prices as our storage units, from $245 a month for a 5×10 in San Diego County, plus $750 per truck to load it in.
Why the temperature matters: wood furniture, leather, pianos, artwork, electronics and paper records all suffer in heat and damp. A steady 68–72°F with humidity control protects them better than a garage or a metal unit.
When you want your things back, we bring them to your new address. Redelivery is quoted in writing with the storage.
Vault storage, step by step
Unit, vault or container?
Portable containers
How much is a portable storage container?
A Standard container (8×8×5 ft, fits a studio) is $99 a month and a Large (8×8×7 ft, fits 1 bedroom) is $150 a month on your property. Delivery, pickup and storage at our facility are quoted separately, in writing. Each comes with 25 free boxes.
Containers are steel and weather-sealed but not climate-controlled. For wood furniture or paper you plan to keep for months, a vault is the safer choice.
On your driveway, you have 24/7 access. On a San Diego city street, you need a Traffic Control Permit: 7 days for $87.68 a week plus a $87.68 processing fee (City of San Diego, Information Bulletin 718).

Storage during a move
Is storage included when you move with One Stop?
Yes. Short-term storage during a move is included. If your new place isn’t ready on move-out day, we hold your things and deliver when it is. For a longer gap, you move to a storage unit, a vault or a container at the prices on this page.
This is the usual fix for a closing date that slips, a lease that ends before the next one starts, or a remodel that runs long.
Local moves run on the crew’s hourly rate, from $139 an hour for two movers and a truck, with a written Not-to-Exceed price. Long-distance moves have one price per city on a dedicated truck.
Common gaps we cover
Protection
How are stored things protected?
Basic protection is included and pays 60 cents per pound per article under California’s Max 4 tariff (Item 136). A 50-lb dresser pays at most $30. Your goods are handled by a mover licensed by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, CAL-190616, with $1 million general liability and $1 million workers’ comp.
California movers have been licensed by the BHGS, not the PUC, since 1 July 2018. You can check a license on the BHGS movers page.
Basic protection is by weight, not by value. For valuable pieces, ask about added coverage when you book, and keep the receipts or photos of anything costly.
