MoveDayPlan Editorial Updated

Compare storage promotions over one, four and six billed periods using stated rates, recurring extras and the full one-time charge.

Normalize the offers first

Use the same unit requirements, access needs and billed stay for each offer. The rates below are invented USD scenarios, not Public Storage advertisements or market averages. The linked provider page illustrates offer-specific eligibility and location restrictions. Check fees and tax in the actual quoted terms before using a price in a decision.

4 periods $390 $400 $10
6 periods $610 $590 −$20

Check what can change

At four periods A is $10 lower; at six periods B is $20 lower. The first-period price alone does not resolve the decision. This comparison assumes the quoted regular rate stays unchanged throughout the selected stay. If the agreement permits a later price change, run a separate scenario instead of treating these totals as guaranteed.

Fractional billed stays round up in the calculator, unless you deliberately convert written prorated terms into a different scenario. Refundable deposits, access trips and transport are outside this table. Add those separately when they differ between locations. Do not add tax twice if it is already part of a quoted recurring amount.
