Store belongings long-term during overseas assignments, deployments, renovations, or transitions — with same-crew access.

What Makes This Service Different

Long-term storage in Greater Boston is most often needed during major life transitions that extend beyond 90 days: extended overseas assignments, military deployments, gap years before purchasing a new home, multi-month renovations, divorces with extended division periods, snowbirds wintering in Florida, or storage of family heirlooms during the executive-relocation process. Boston Best Rate Movers offers long-term storage with discounted multi-month rates in our climate-controlled, secure vault facility — with the same crew that loads your belongings handling redelivery whenever you need them, even years later.

Long-term storage advantages over self-storage units: full vault enclosure (your items are not in an open metal locker exposed to humidity, dust, and temperature swings); climate-controlled facility maintained year-round; 24-hour monitored security; no DIY loading/unloading and no rented truck rentals; same trusted crew handling both ends; and the time-value of professional packing that prevents long-term damage that often shows up only after a year in storage. Beds, dressers, leather furniture, mattresses, electronics, books, and artwork particularly benefit from climate control.

Pricing: monthly storage rate calculated from cubic-foot volume, with multi-month discounts applied automatically at 3 months, 6 months, and 12+ months. Typical long-term scenarios: studio storage $130-$220/month (after 3-month discount); 1-bedroom $180-$320/month; 2-bedroom $270-$450/month; 3-bedroom $360-$630/month. Loading-in and redelivery are at our standard hourly moving rates ($149/$179/$219 at the off-peak discount tier). Partial retrieval is supported — you can request specific items from storage between full redeliveries (a small handling fee applies for partial retrievals only).

About Long Term Storage Boston

Boston Best Rate Movers offers long-term storage for Greater Boston residents who need a secure, climate-monitored facility to hold their belongings for months or even years at a time. Whether you are being deployed overseas with the military, embarking on an extended sabbatical, renovating your home down to the studs, relocating temporarily for work, or managing an estate that requires time to settle, our long-term storage program provides the reliability and protection your belongings deserve over an extended period.

Our climate-monitored storage facility maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels throughout the year, which is critical for long-term preservation of furniture, electronics, artwork, musical instruments, leather goods, and sensitive personal items. Boston experiences dramatic seasonal swings, from humid summers above 90 degrees to frigid winters well below freezing.

Items stored for months or years in uncontrolled environments are at serious risk of warping, cracking, mold growth, and deterioration.

Items wrapped and protected for moving

Our facility eliminates these risks so your belongings remain in the condition they were in on the day we picked them up. Every long-term storage account includes a detailed inventory created by our crew at the time of pickup.

We document each item, note its condition, and organize your storage space using a pallet-based system that keeps everything accessible and protected. If you need to retrieve specific items during your storage term, we can pull individual pieces without disturbing the rest of your inventory.

This level of organization is especially valuable for customers storing the contents of an entire home, where locating a specific box or piece of furniture months later would otherwise be a guessing game. Our full-service approach means you never have to set foot in a storage facility.

Our professional moving crew handles every step: wrapping and padding all furniture, packing items into protective materials, loading the truck, transporting everything to our facility, and organizing your unit.

When your storage term ends, we reverse the process with the same care, delivering everything to your new location and placing furniture exactly where you want it. Long-term storage billing is month-to-month with no multi-year contracts.

You can extend or end your storage at any time with reasonable notice. Pickup and delivery are charged at our standard moving rates starting at $149 per hour for a two-man crew and truck, with no stair fees, and no hidden costs.

With over 33,158 moves completed and 1,091+ Google reviews since 2002, Boston Best Rate Movers brings the same professionalism to storage that has made us Greater Boston's most trusted moving company. Licensed under USDOT #1718049 with full cargo insurance on every job.
