What is Short-Term Self Storage?

Short-term self-storage is designed for people who need space for just a few weeks or months. It’s a smart option during moves, renovations, college breaks, or any life event that creates a temporary need for storage. You get the same secure setup as long-term renters, without being locked into a long agreement.


We offer a range of unit sizes, access is simple, and everything is managed online. This kind of storage creates breathing room during a cleanout or when there's a short gap between homes. You stay in control of the timing.

Why Choose Temporary Storage At Open City?

Not every storage need lasts forever. That’s why we keep our rentals flexible, simple, and ready when you are. Open City Self Storage is built for short stays just as much as long ones. Our drive-up units make it easy to load and unload fast, and you can handle everything from payments to move-out online.


Security matters no matter how long you’re storing. Our Elburn facility is fully gated and monitored around the clock. You won't deal with long paperwork or locked-in contracts. You’ll find clean units, clear pricing, and local help when you need it. Short-term storage stays stress-free.

How Much Does Short-Term Self-Storage Cost?

The price of short-term self-storage depends on the unit size and how long you plan to use it. At Open City Self Storage, we keep pricing straightforward. You’ll see honest rates, flexible month-to-month options, and none of the hidden fees or confusing terms that slow things down.


Smaller units work well for personal items, boxes, or dorm room furniture. Larger spaces are available if you're storing bigger household items or need temporary room during a remodel. Not sure what fits your situation? Our local team can help you figure it out. You only pay for the space you use, and you’re free to move out when you're ready.
