No Hidden Fees. No Surprises.
Storage costs should be easy to understand. Many storage facilities add charges after you reserve a unit or move in. These can include administrative fees, required insurance, or rate increases after a short period.
Fairfax City Self Storage pricing is always straightforward:
- No admin fees
- No mandatory insurance requirements
- 12-month price lock
- No unexpected rate increases shortly after move-in
Why Our Pricing Is Different
A lower advertised price does not always mean a lower total cost. Some facilities rely on promotional pricing that increases over time or add fees that are not obvious upfront. Over time, those added costs can make a unit more expensive than expected.
Fairfax City Self Storage focuses on predictable pricing instead of short-term promotions. You can choose a unit knowing how much you will pay, without needing to factor in hidden fees or changing rates. This makes it easier to compare options and find a storage solution that fits your budget long term.

Drive-Up Storage Unit Pricing

| 10x30 | $495 |

Refundable Security Deposit
A refundable security deposit is required at move-in and varies by unit size:
| Unit Size | Deposit |
|---|---|
| 4x4x4 through 5x15 | $22 |
| 10x10 through 10x15 | $35 |
| 10x20 through 10x35 | $50 |
Deposits are returned according to facility policies after the unit is vacated.
Reservation Information
Units can be reserved for up to two weeks with a security deposit. Units cannot be held months in advance, so it is best to reserve closer to your move-in date.

What You Pay vs. What You're Quoted
When comparing storage unit prices in Fairfax VA, the advertised rate is only part of the total cost. Many facilities promote a low monthly price, but additional fees and required add-ons can increase what you really pay.
Move-In Day:
| Line Item | National Chain | Fairfax City Self Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised rate (5x5) | $49–$54 | The rate shown above |
| One-time admin fee | $29 non-refundable | $0 |
| Required lock purchase | $15–$20 | Bring your own |
| Required tenant insurance, mo 1 | $11–$47 | $0 |
| Refundable deposit | None | $22–$50, returned at move-out |
Monthly Costs After Move-In
Many facilities require ongoing tenant insurance, which can add $11–$47 per month to your total storage unit cost. Some also charge invoice or billing fees unless you enroll in autopay.
At Fairfax City Self Storage, there are no required insurance plans or recurring administrative fees. If you already have homeowner's or renter's insurance, it is accepted.
Rate Increases Over Time
At many storage companies, rates increase over time based on demand and length of stay. These increases can happen within the first year and continue throughout your rental period.
At Fairfax City Self Storage, your rate is locked for a minimum of 12 months from the date you sign. This allows you to plan your storage costs without unexpected changes.
