How Pricing Works

What drives your storage premium

The estimate above is a starting range. Your actual quote depends on these six factors.

Unit count & revenue

More units means more property to insure and more tenant exposure. Revenue scales premium for liability and tenant protection coverage.

Climate control infrastructure

HVAC equipment values, higher tenant property values, and increased equipment breakdown exposure all push climate-controlled premiums slightly higher.

Location & protection class

Distance to fire response, building construction type, crime statistics, and weather risk for the area all factor into property pricing.

Tenant protection program

Operators offering tenant insurance as an upsell often qualify for reduced operator-side liability premiums. Programs vary by state.

Security infrastructure

Fenced perimeter, gate access, lighting, cameras, and on-site management all swing premium 5–15% in either direction.

Claims history

Prior break-ins, water damage, or tenant property claims all affect future premiums. Loss runs stay on record 3–5 years.

Frequently Asked

Self-storage cost estimator questions

How accurate is the self-storage estimate?

The estimator provides a starting range based on industry-typical pricing for self-storage operations. Your actual quote depends on facility location, protection class, crime history, and exact unit count.

Does this include tenant protection insurance?

The base estimate covers operator liability — not tenant property protection. Tenant protection (or tenant legal liability) is typically a separate small add-on factored in at quote time.

Are climate-controlled facilities priced differently?

Yes. Climate-controlled facilities have higher equipment values (HVAC) and tenant property values. Insurers price these slightly higher but the cost estimator adjusts for that input.

Is the estimate a quote?

No. This is an estimate for orientation only. Coverage is subject to underwriting and is bound only when confirmed by an authorized Spire representative.
