When you need the best
public storage unit to store your extra belongings, you’ve got to go local! It’s self-storage after all, so a local storage facility will be the best because it’s close to you and your belongings. Along with finding a convenient storage unit location, public storage should have a great reputation as a local storage company serving the community. Then get down to the particulars of what type of storage unit would serve you best. Will you need climate controlled storage? What size of a storage unit will be large enough yet cost effective for your self-storage needs? How do the prices at one local storage facility compare to another? Finally, public storage for your valued belongings will have to be secure.
Hop online and read the reviews of the local storage facility you are looking at. Listen to what people are saying about their self-storage experience. Those with a great self-storage experience will gladly write a glowing review because it’s so easy to do online. The reverse is also true; those with a negative public storage experience are motivated to share warnings to protect others.
You really can get to know a business by checking out their website. There you will gain insight as to who the business owners are and what is important to them. You will be able to recognize their faces before meeting them in person and the pictures of the public storage area will be most enlightening.
Many of your questions can be answered with just a quick visit to their web site and you can evaluate the storage facility in solitude. While you are at it, you might as well check out Twitter, Instagram, and other social pages to learn more about the local storage facility you are considering.
Determine what you need to store and how it needs to be stored when considering the right storage unit size. Those who store off-season items should consider organizational space to access stored items. No one likes to dig through buried items every season! You also do not want to pay for more space than you need. The best storage facilities will offer a range of different sized storage units to choose from. Will you need boat and RV storage, or just a storage unit for personal items? Measure everything you plan to store and determine what storage unit size would be best.
Of course, you can always call a public storage company for information, but a quick online visit to their website will give information about what storage unit sizes are offered and if they are available. Helpful tips and guidance found on the web site will help you decide what storage unit size is right for your needs.
Shop around for the best prices and compare your storage facility options. Location as well as monthly payments for self-storage should guide your decision. Often a storage facility will offer the first month free. Ask about the current rental specials. Are discounts available for seniors, veterans or students? Also know about what happens when a payment is late or missed. Grace periods for a late payment will vary from one public storage place to the next and you need to know their policies.
Make sure the self-storage company you are considering has the essential security features such as:
To ensure the safety of your belongings and protection for your access to them, make sure the storage facility you find has the above security features.
After narrowing down your search, pay the local storage facility an “on-site” visit before making a final decision. You will have a clear understanding of the storage facility and the staff members with first-hand experience. Be aware of property managers with high pressure sales techniques to get a rental agreement signed. Ask to see the exact storage unit you will rent. Sometimes you will be shown a storage unit with the identical dimensions, but one that is cleaner and nicer than the one you actually get. If you find the option to reserve a storage unit online before seeing the actual unit, you could be disappointed. Truly, the BEST way to know if a storage facility is right for you is to see it yourself.
