Moving and storing your stuff can be a stressful experience – the last thing you should worry about is whether or not you’re getting the best price for your storage unit! However, when you compare our competitors’ four-week rates to our monthly rates, initially, it’s hard to tell which one is the better value for you and your belongings.
At Bluebird, we believe in providing accessible and affordable self-storage for our customers, which is why we offer rates for an entire month of storage – not four weeks. Curious to know why? Watch the video below to learn more!
Plenty of storage facilities provide customers with four-week rates – what we call the four-week sneak – that looks considerably more affordable than an entire month of rent. However, the reality is that there are thirteen four-week payment periods in a year! That means even though you think you’re paying the ‘better price,’ you’re actually spending more on rent than you would if you paid by the month! By paying 13 times per year instead of 12, you’ll end up spending 8.33% more than what you should on storage.
Another downside of the four-week sneak? Because they follow 28-day billing cycles, you’ll be charged on a different day every month! This means it’s nearly impossible to keep track of payment schedules because there’s never a consistent payment day – which could lead to more confusion and even possible late fees.
While these 4-week rates might seem affordable, the reality is that they’re far too good to be true. At Bluebird, we follow a monthly payment schedule, which means you can count on your bill arriving on the same day each month, with no risk of accidental late fees! Plus, we can even prorate your bill to a date of your choosing!
Best of all, you’ll never pay more for what you need. Once you choose your storage unit, you’ll always count on our consistent and honest prices.
Whether you plan to stay with us a few months, or a whole year, we want your storage experience to be valuable – and that means providing the best amenities at the right price. As part of The Bluebird Difference, you can always count on our storage facilities to be affordable from the start. Besides providing a full month’s value of storage, all of our facilities are well maintained, have helpful moving features, and are full of helpful team members. Throughout every part of your storage experience, you can count on us to provide the amenities and affordable storage you deserve.

At Bluebird, we believe that every great relationship starts with honesty, and for us, honesty means providing you with a full month’s value of storage. Many self-storage facilities pull what’s called the ‘four-week sneak’, meaning they charge you on a four-week cycle instead of basing their rates on a full month. This means you’ll end up paying 13 times per year instead of 12 – that’s 8.33% more! At Bluebird, in addition to our locked-in rent prices, we base our rates on a full month’s service, not 28-day billing cycles. Here, you pay one price, once a month, for one year, because we value our customers. Your Bluebird experience includes valuable amenities and 100% transparent pricing from the start.
Aren’t sure if we’re your perfect match? If you are not completely satisfied within seven days after moving in, we will refund 100% of your rent and administrative fees. Plus, we won’t force you to sign any long-term agreements so that you can up-size or down-size to the unit you need at any time. Here, what you see is what you pay for.
Too many storage facilities offer outrageously low introductory (teaser) rates, enticing customers to choose their facility, only to increase rent every 3-6 months. Many facilities offer these below market prices, just so they can secure the sale – but don’t actually plan on locking in these rates. These bait and switch tactics end up costing you more money in the long run, and in our eyes, that’s just downright dishonest and unfair.
At Bluebird, we value your dollar and your trust. Part of earning your trust means we keep our prices honest – that’s why we won’t raise your rent for at least 365 days from your move-in date. That’s right, you’ll have the same price for a full year’s worth of storage because that’s exactly what you signed up for! At Bluebird, we believe in being consistent with our pricing so you always know what to expect every month. Also, being upfront about our pricing is the right thing to do! With Bluebird, there’s no dupes, fine print, or miscommunication about pricing – you can count on your rent being consistent for a full 365 days. We don’t view you as a transaction, we view you as a valued relationship.
