Finding the Right Storage Facility

Everyone will need to rent a Self Storage unit at some point in their life time. Whether a short term or long term storage rental, it is important to make sure you find the Right Storage Facility for your individual needs. No, contrary to what most people think, a Storage Facility is a Storage Facility, is simply not true. Sure, you open the door, put your stuff in the unit and lock the door and leave. That’s only the beginning of what could be the worst decision you ever made. I will now share the importance of choosing the right Storage the first time and every time you need to rent a Storage unit. There are many factors you should keep in mind.

1- Location                                     6-Specials

2-Price                                            7-Appearance of the Facility

3-Customer Service                     8-lighting

4-Gate Access                               9-Availability of units

5-Security                                      10-Additional fees

Each of the above mentioned items are imperitive to know before renting a storage unit. Most are self explanatory, but all worth investigating. Location is probably the most important, unless you are leaving the area and not coming back until you are going to discontinue renting the unit. That usually is not the case. Most people are into their unit several times  a week or more. A Storage Facility that is close to your home or that is on your way to work or school is ideal. That way you can stop as often as you need and save trips, which saves gas, which saves you money. Price is also important and most Facilities are competitive in price, but some are just outta sight. Do call around for rates or better yet, stop at the Facility and talk with the Manager. That way, you can also ask all of the other questions, see the Facility and get a feel of the people working at the facility. Potential customers, as well as customers, have a right to feel good about storing their possessions in a Storage Facility. Is the Facility neat and clean? Is the Storage personell friendly, knowledgable and happy to serve you? If the answer to either of those questions is no, then run as far from that Facility as you can. That might be why the rates are so low! Most Storage Facilties offer “Specials” of some kind. Compare those and make sure they are “true” specials without adding extra time onto the length of your rental needs. A knowledgable Manager will figure out a price with specials before you even rent, so you will know exactly what you will be paying. They will alsoexplain all fees, late charges, etc. to you without you needing to ask. Gate access hours vary at most Facilities. If the one closest to your house or on the way to work is only open during the hours you work, it’s worthless to rent there, no matter the price. You’ll never be able to get into your unit. 24 hour access is available for a fee at some Facilities. There are a few Storage facilities which have 24 hour gate access as normal gate hours. These are perfect to fit your time frame. Do make sure there is sufficient outside Security lighting so you will be safe at night, if that’s when you need gate access.
