Tell us your move
Start by sharing a few basics about what you need. Tell us your city, move timing, how much stuff you have, and whether you want self-storage, portable storage, or moving plus storage.
You can also add details that matter to you. For example, ground-floor access, climate control, short-term storage for 1 month, or longer storage for 6 to 12 months. The more clear you are, the better your matches can be.
If you are not sure how much space you need, that is normal. A 5x5 unit can fit small furniture and boxes from a closet or studio corner. A 10x10 unit often fits the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment. You can start with our storage tools or go straight to get matched.
- Share your zip code or city
- Pick your dates, or an estimated time frame
- Choose the type of storage you want
- Add notes about size, access, or budget
Get matched free
After you send your details, StowMatch looks for storage options that fit your move. StowMatch is a free matching service. We do not store your goods, drive the truck, or set storage prices.
Our job is to help you save time. Instead of searching many places on your own, you get options that fit your needs in one place. This can be helpful if you are moving across town, moving to another state, or arriving in the US and need storage while you get settled.
There is no cost to use StowMatch for matching. Rates and availability come from storage providers, and they can change by city, season, unit size, and move date.
- Free matching service
- Options based on your move details
- Useful for local moves and long-distance moves
- No need to call around first
Compare options
Once you get matches, compare them side by side. Look at the storage type, estimated size, access rules, location, and timing. If you are comparing portable storage and self-storage, think about how much lifting, driving, and loading you want to do yourself.
Cost matters too, but it is best to compare the full picture. A lower monthly rate may not include delivery, pickup, admin fees, or lock fees. Typical ranges are not quotes, and final pricing depends on the provider and your move details.
If you want a rough budget before you choose, try the storage cost estimator. You can also learn more about storage types on our services page.
- Check unit size and storage type

You choose
The final choice is always yours. Pick the option that fits your budget, timeline, and comfort level. You decide if you want simple self-storage, a portable container brought to you, or a move that includes storage.
Take a minute to confirm the important details before you book. Make sure the dates work, the size looks right, and you understand what is included. If your plans change, you can come back and get matched again with updated details.
StowMatch is here to make the search easier, not to pressure you. You compare, ask questions, and choose what works best for your move.
- You stay in control
- Review details before booking
- Update your request if plans change
- Choose the option that fits your move best
