Storage Units for Rent in Mexico City: Options & Prices 2026
Mexico City has the largest supply of storage units and mini storage facilities in the country, with over a dozen active providers ranging from traditional self-storage to industrial warehouses and doorstep storage services. Prices vary enormously depending on the area, size, and service model. This guide analyzes the main options available in CDMX so you can compare before deciding.
Overview of the CDMX Storage Market
CDMX is the largest storage market in Mexico. High population density, small apartments (many under 60 m²), and expensive rent create constant demand for storage space. Neighborhoods in the central and southern parts of the city — Condesa, Roma, Del Valle, Narvarte, Coyoacan — have the highest concentration of users looking for extra space.
The predominant model is traditional self-storage: centers with individual units that clients rent on a monthly basis. Doorstep storage models also exist, where the company picks up, stores, and returns the client's belongings.
Comparison of Storage Providers in CDMX
| Provider | Model | Price (1 m²) | Price (3 m²) | Transport included | Minimum stay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U-Storage | Self-storage | $1,200–$1,800/mo | $2,500–$3,000/mo | No | 1 month |
| Spakio | Doorstep | From $299/mo | From $799/mo | Yes | 1 month |
| Guardabox | Self-storage | $1,000–$1,500/mo | $2,200–$2,800/mo | No | 1-3 months |

Prices are approximate and may vary by location, exact unit size, and current promotions. It is advisable to request a direct quote from each provider.
U-Storage
U-Storage (u-storage.com.mx) is one of the largest self-storage providers in Mexico, with multiple locations in CDMX. They offer units from 1 m² to over 20 m². The model is traditional self-storage: the client rents a unit, brings their belongings, and accesses during center hours. Transport and packing are not included. Facilities have surveillance, code access, and optional insurance.
Spakio
Spakio (spakio.com) operates with a doorstep storage model. The company sends empty boxes to the client's home, the client fills them, and the Spakio team picks them up and stores them. Prices start at $299 MXN/month per box, making it an accessible option for small volumes. The model works well for boxes and small items, though storing large furniture requires a custom quote.
Guardabox
Guardabox (guardabox.com) operates self-storage centers in CDMX with units of various sizes. The setup is similar to U-Storage: you rent a unit, bring your belongings, and access during center hours. Prices are competitive compared to U-Storage, especially at locations outside premium neighborhoods.
Multibodegas
Multibodegas offers personal and commercial storage units at several CDMX locations. Units range from mini storage at 1 m² to industrial warehouses over 50 m². Facilities have 24/7 surveillance and controlled access.
What to Look for When Renting Storage in CDMX
Before signing a storage rental contract, check these points:
Security — 24/7 surveillance, cameras, controlled access with code or electronic key. Ask whether the center includes theft insurance or if you need to purchase it separately.
Accessibility — access hours, proximity to your home or workplace. If you need to visit several times per week, a distant center increases your transport costs.
Hidden costs — security deposit (typically 1 month's rent), mandatory insurance, after-hours access fees, early termination penalties. Add everything up before comparing prices.
Space conditions — ventilation, moisture protection, lighting. Not all self-storage centers have the same conditions. If you are storing documents, clothing, or electronics, humidity is a critical factor in CDMX during the rainy season.
Minimum stay — check if there is a minimum commitment and what the penalty is for canceling early. Some providers require 3-6 months of commitment.
