Storage usually gets booked for one of two reasons: the new place isn't ready yet, or there's more stuff than space. Both are common enough that most movers offer it.
What varies is the unit size, how long you're committing for, and how easily you can get to your goods. Compare on those, not just the monthly rate.

Why this works well for warehouse & storage
-
Bridges a date gap
Handover and possession rarely align. Storage stops that becoming a crisis.
-
Pay for the space you use
Unit sizes vary, so a small consignment shouldn't be charged as a large one.
-
One provider, two jobs
Using the same provider for the move and the storage avoids double handling.
-
Terms you can compare
Notice periods and access rules differ more than headline rates do.
Warehouse & Storage questions
Usually per month, based on the space or unit size your goods occupy. Transport in and out is normally quoted separately.
It varies. Some facilities allow scheduled access; warehouse-racked storage often doesn't. Ask before committing if access matters to you.
Many providers set a one-month minimum. Confirm the notice period for taking goods out as well.
Reputable providers inventory items on the way in and issue you a copy. Ask for it, and check it before you sign.
