As you go on a
hunt for secure storage, know that self-storage is one of those industries
where businesses compete hard for customers through advertising and promotions.
Whether you need a secure storage for a few months or an extended period, be
sure to ask about discounts. Typical deals can range from 10 percent to 25
percent off the regular price and even may include several months for free.
However, there are some facilities that make it a practice to move you in a low
rate only to raise the rent a couple of months later; so better watch out for
such tricks.
Safety should
be at the top of your list for this hunt because even if your whole storage
unit is guarded well, you would still want to be compensated in the event of a
disaster like a fire, flood, or burglary. So insurance is essential; but as
with any insurance policy, you need to shop around for the best deal. Check
whether your existing household contents policy can be extended to include the
items in storage. If not, don't assume that the secure storage company will
have the best deal but check out the alternatives first. If your household
policy does cover your stored contents then take along the documentation to the
storage facility as proof. If you think that you still need to lower your storage
rental, look for other options such as sharing. The bigger the unit you lease,
the better the deal. By joining forces with trustworthy friends or relatives,
you can maximize your storage rental with a larger unit at a lower combined
rate. This strategy can chop 25 percent to 50 percent off your rent.
The growing
popularity of secure storage can be attributed to everything from changes in
lifestyle to the reduction in living space. If for whatever reason you’ve
decided that secure storage is right for you, be thorough in finding the best
deal, thoughtful about what you stow away, and creative in finding ways to get
the most value for your money.
