About Storage Made Clear
Good storage advice should
give you room to think.
We’re an independent guide to sizes, costs and the questions worth asking. Our tools use your figures, explain their assumptions, and leave the decision with you.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Is Storage Made Clear a storage company?
No. We do not rent units, take bookings or hold deposits. The site explains sizes and how to compare quotes. You contract with a storage provider if you decide to store anything.
Do you store what I type into a calculator?
Both calculators run in your browser. Quote comparison figures stay on your device. Size selections are saved in the page address so you can share them; opening or reloading that address can record its query in server logs. Anyone with the link can see those selections.
Why can two quotes with a similar headline price cost different amounts?
One may be charged every four weeks rather than each calendar month, one may be an introductory rate, and one may add protection, a padlock or an admin fee. The true cost calculator puts both quotes over the same stay so those differences are visible.
