Whether you're between leases near Whyte Avenue, downsizing a house in the west end, or storing a few rooms through an Edmonton winter, the city has a deep spread of storage options from the north end down to the south side and out toward Sherwood Park. This list covers five well-reviewed facilities so you can compare features, locations, and access before you commit.


Storage rates in Edmonton shift regularly and promotions change often, so treat these as starting points and confirm current pricing directly with each facility.


1. Sentinel Storage – Multiple Edmonton Locations


Sentinel is one of the largest storage operators in Western Canada, with more than 10 locations across Edmonton — so wherever you're based, there's usually one nearby. Every facility offers heated, climate-controlled units, and Sentinel uses radiant in-floor heating to keep units evenly warm through winter, alongside 24-hour security systems and a full range of unit sizes. Like most of the big brands, they regularly run a four-weeks-free move-in promotion Sentinel Storage.


Good for: Anyone who wants a location close to home, radiant-heated units, and a large regional operator with a strong move-in deal.


2. SmartStop Self Storage – Five Edmonton Locations


SmartStop runs five locations across the city, all with heated and climate-controlled units built for Alberta winters and wide city coverage. The company has been recognized by Newsweek and Statista as a top-ranked self-storage operator for customer service in 2021, 2023, and 2024 SmartStop.


Good for: Renters who value a strong service reputation and citywide coverage with climate control.


3. U•STORE•IT – North Edmonton


A locally focused operator whose North Edmonton climate-controlled facility has some of the largest units in the city, ranging from 250 to 880 square feet. It's built for oversized needs — car, boat, and RV storage — with covered loading bays that accommodate trucks and trailers up to 53 feet long U-STORE-IT.


Good for: Large loads, vehicle, RV, or boat storage, and anyone emptying a full house at once.

Good for: Comparing several storage types at one location, and drive-up convenience for a quick load-in.


5. StorageMart – Edmonton


A large, well-known brand with clean, secure Edmonton facilities offering heated storage units and on-site car parking StorageMart. It's a straightforward choice if you'd rather go with a big national operator that has heated units and vehicle parking in one place.


Good for: Renters who want a big-brand operator with heated units and car parking.


What Does Storage Cost in Edmonton?


Across Edmonton's 40-plus storage facilities, a 10×10 unit averages around $198/month, with the cheapest options starting near $178/month — and several operators running four-weeks-free or first-month-free move-in deals at any given time Findstoragefast.


The Edmonton-specific thing to weigh is heat, not humidity. An unheated unit here gets as cold as the outside air — which in an Edmonton January means -30°C or colder. That's hard on electronics, liquids, instruments, vinyl, wine, and anything with glue or moving parts. If you're storing anything beyond a few weeks over winter, a heated unit is usually worth the premium. It's the one corner we'd tell you not to cut.


Need Help Moving Into Storage?


Getting your things from your home to a storage unit is the part most people don't plan for — especially with an Old Strathcona walk-up staircase, a third-floor apartment, or a driveway that needs shovelling first. If you need two small movers in Edmonton and a vehicle to handle the heavy lifting, that's exactly what we do.


Our Edmonton rate is $140/hour for two movers with a 2.5-hour minimum — whether you're loading a unit in the north end, on the south side, or anywhere else in the city. Get a quick quote through our Edmonton moving services page.
