Easy Space Self Storage Frequently Asked Questions


Frequently Asked Questions About Self Storage in Lake Villa, IL

Do storage facilities raise rates after you move in?

Some self-storage companies advertise very low introductory or “web” rates that may increase after a customer moves in.

Easy Space Self Storage takes a different approach. We believe storage pricing should be straightforward and predictable. New Easy Space rentals include our 12-Month Rate Lock Guarantee, so your monthly rental rate will not increase during your first 12 months.

We don't use teaser rates designed to get you moved in and then raise your rate shortly afterward. Our goal is to help you understand what your storage will actually cost before you rent.

What's the difference between drive-up and interior storage?

Drive-Up Storage allows you to pull your vehicle directly up to your storage unit and load or unload at the door. It's especially convenient for furniture, household moves, business inventory, tools, equipment, and other heavy or bulky belongings.

Interior storage is located inside a building and is accessed through an interior hallway. Interior units can be a good choice for customers who don't need direct vehicle access to their storage unit.

Easy Space offers both drive-up and interior storage options in a variety of sizes.

What is climate-controlled storage?

Climate-Controlled Storage helps protect belongings from the extreme temperature changes we experience throughout Northern Illinois.

It can be a good option for furniture, electronics, photographs, important documents, artwork, collectibles, musical instruments, business records, and other temperature-sensitive belongings.

Easy Space offers climate-controlled storage units in a variety of sizes at our Lake Villa facility.

Do I need climate-controlled storage in Northern Illinois?

It depends on what you're storing and how long you plan to store it. Northern Illinois experiences hot summers, freezing winters, and significant seasonal temperature changes.

If you're storing belongings that could be affected by those temperature extremes, climate-controlled storage may provide additional protection and peace of mind.

What drive-up storage sizes does Easy Space offer?

Easy Space Self Storage offers 5×10, 10×10, 10×15, 10×20, 10×25, 10×30, and 12×30 drive-up storage units.

Do you offer 10×10 storage units in Lake Villa?

Yes. Easy Space offers 10×10 storage units in Lake Villa, including drive-up units when available.

A 10×10 provides approximately 100 square feet of storage space and is a popular choice for furniture, appliances, boxes, seasonal belongings, and the contents of many one- or two-bedroom apartments.

What size storage unit do I need?

The right size depends on what you're storing.

Smaller units such as 5×5 and 5×10 are useful for boxes, seasonal belongings, small furniture, and items you don't have room for at home. Mid-size units such as 10×10 and 10×15 provide more room for furniture, appliances, and household moves. Larger units such as 10×20, 10×25, 10×30, and 12×30 can accommodate larger household moves, business inventory, equipment, vehicles, and other substantial storage needs.
