Renting a storage unit: You should read this!
Get yourself the right sized unit
When choosing a unit, you’ll want to make sure that there’s enough room for your goods to be kept safe and free from damage. Picking a unit that’s too small will lead to your things getting damaged from being crammed into a tight space for long periods of time. On the other hand you also don’t want to get a unit that’s too big as bigger units tend to be more expensive. There are many different sized storage units on offer at storage facilities ranging from smaller 25 sq.ft and 50 sq.ft rooms up to 100 sq.ft and 150 sq.ft garage sized units.
Reviews and reputation
Do your research and have a look around to see what storage companies are in the local area. Look at online reviews they have received and make time to check them out in person before committing. Have other people you know used the storage company and would they recommend them? Gather as much information as you can.
Security and access
The safety of your belongings is a top priority. Consider what security measures are in place at the storage facility you choose. Most places have PIN code access control and CCTV systems in operation. Also take a look at what access arrangements they offer as there may be certain times when you can access your storage unit.
