… Monthly rates are affordable and units are clean and roomy. Security is great as well!
Good, I like the online set up aspect because I didn’t have time to come and set up my unit in person. The extended hours are also very nice.
… I’ve tried other storage places and they always have high rates or ridiculous rules. … I would highly recommend them for all your storage and needs.
Storage for Lawrence and the towns around it.
Free State Storage is at 2400 Franklin Rd, Lawrence, KS 66046, just off K-10 on the southeast side of town. That is about ten minutes from the University of Kansas, five from Haskell Indian Nations University, and fifteen from Clinton Lake, which makes the paved lot an easy stop for boats and campers.
Renters also come from Eudora and De Soto along K-10, from Baldwin City to the south, and from Lecompton to the northwest. Every unit is drive-up, so a trailer or moving truck from out of town backs right to the door.
Answers to the things people ask first.
How much is a 10x10 storage unit in Lawrence, KS?
A 10x10 drive-up unit at Free State Storage is $119 a month, and new renters get 50% off the first 2 months ($59.50/mo), then $119/mo. It holds a one-bedroom apartment. Rentals are month-to-month with no admin fee, and live rates for every size are on the units page.
Is there a move-in offer?
Yes. 50% off your first two months on 5x10 to 10x30 units. It is applied automatically at checkout. It can't be combined with the student or military discount, so choose whichever saves you more. The 20x20 units and parking spaces are not included.
Can I rent and move in online the same day?
Yes. Reserve and pay online and your personal gate code is sent right away, with no paperwork and no office to visit. The gate opens 6 AM to 10 PM every day, so a late-night rental can move in from 6 the next morning.
Is Free State Storage the same as Storage Sense?
Yes. Free State Storage is the facility at 2400 Franklin Rd that was Storage Sense - Lawrence. It took the new name in October 2026 under new, local ownership. For existing tenants nothing else changed: same units, same gate code and the same phone number.
Do you have RV or boat storage near Clinton Lake?
Yes. Paved, uncovered parking for RVs, boats and trailers in 10x20, 10x30 and 10x40 spaces, from $95 a month. The lot is about fifteen minutes from Clinton Lake, behind a gate open 6 AM to 10 PM daily.
Do you have climate-controlled units?
No. Every unit is a drive-up unit without climate control. They suit furniture, boxes, tools, bikes and vehicles. For things that are sensitive to heat and humidity, such as photos, electronics, documents or wine, pack in sealed plastic totes and keep them off the floor on pallets or shelving.
What size unit fits a 2-bedroom apartment, a car or a pontoon?
A 10x15 unit fits most two-bedroom apartments. A car fits in a 10x20 unit or a 10x20 parking space. A pontoon or bass boat on its trailer fits a 10x30 parking space. The size finder gives a match for your own list in about 30 seconds.
Is there a student discount for KU and Haskell students?
Yes. Students at KU, Haskell and other schools get 15% off with a valid student ID. Student and military discounts cannot be combined with each other or with the move-in offer. Choose whichever saves more. Every unit is drive-up, which makes moving in and out of a dorm quick.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Rentals are month-to-month: give 10 days' notice before your next billing date and you are not charged for another month. There is no admin fee. Every new rental, storage unit or parking space, comes with a 12-month rate guarantee: your monthly rate won't go up during your first 12 months.
Do I need to bring a lock?
No. A new high-collar, weather-resistant combination padlock is included free with your first month on a storage unit. Parking spaces don't need one.
When can I access my unit?
Gated keypad access from 6 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week. Your personal code unlocks the gate, and every entry is logged.
