Moving & Storage in Los Angeles — Climate-Controlled Facility
Pickup, vaulted storage, and re-delivery handled by one company — from a week between leases to a year abroad.
What we store
Household furniture and boxes between moves, office furniture during a renovation, excess inventory or equipment, wine and fine art in climate-controlled vaults. We store what we move, so no transfer charges.
How storage works
- We pick up on your move day — or any day you schedule.
- Items are vaulted in individual pallets, shrink-wrapped and barcoded so you know exactly what's in storage.
- Climate-controlled, 24/7 security with alarm, camera, and access control.
- Re-delivery anytime — call 48 hours ahead; we bring everything back and place it in your new home.

Long-distance moves include the first 30 days of storage free. No long-term contracts required.
How much fits in a vault, and what a month really costs
Storage here is priced by the vault rather than by the square foot, which is simpler to plan against once you know what a vault holds. A vault is roughly a dorm room or a studio's contents — call it a one-bedroom across two.
| What you are storing | Vaults | From |
|---|---|---|
| Dorm room, studio contents, seasonal overflow | 1 | $99/month |
| One-bedroom apartment | 2 | $198/month |
| Two-bedroom apartment | 3–4 | $297–$396/month |
| Three-bedroom house | 5–6 | $495–$594/month |
The figure most people forget is the handling either side. A storage job is two moves with a gap: the move in and the move out. Best Movers LA quotes both legs up front so the total is visible before you commit, rather than presenting the second half as a surprise when you are ready to move on.
When storage is the right answer — and when it quietly is not
It is clearly right when the dates do not meet: a lease that ends before the next one starts, escrow that slips, a renovation, a term break, a deployment. In every one of those the alternative is a worse and more expensive improvisation.
It is quietly wrong when it becomes the decision you did not make. Furniture you were unsure about goes into storage, and eighteen months later you have paid more in rent than the furniture is worth and you still do not want it. Before anything goes in, be honest about which category each item is in — and if the answer for a piece is "I am storing it because deciding is hard", the cheaper move is to sell or donate it now. Best Movers LA will add a donation stop to the same job at no extra charge; the truck is already loaded and already going that way.
Two things that matter in Los Angeles specifically. Climate control is not a luxury here for anything wooden, leather, electronic or on vinyl — an uncooled unit in the Valley swings hard enough through summer to warp and delaminate. And nothing perishable, flammable or living goes into storage anywhere, which includes the paint and pool chemicals people try to send along with the garage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Best Movers LA's storage facility climate-controlled?
Yes — temperature and humidity are regulated year-round, which matters in LA where summer heat can warp wood and damage electronics.
Can I access my items while they're in storage?
Yes, by appointment. Call 48 hours ahead and we at Best Movers LA'll have your vault ready.
Do I get the first month free with a long-distance move?
Yes — all long-distance moves (over 100 miles) include 30 days of free storage in case your new place isn't ready.
What's a 'vault'?
A vault is a wooden crate roughly 5×7×7 ft — about the contents of one room. Your items are palletized inside and shrink-wrapped for protection.
How do I get my things back?
Call or text us 48 hours in advance. We at Best Movers LA schedule a delivery window, bring your items, and place them in your new home.
