ALWAYS START WITH THE STORAGE BUILDING

It’s not likely that you would leave your valuables with a stranger. But when hiring self-storage companies near you, that’s essentially what you’re doing. There are numerous types of storage buildings and their units a person can choose, all varying in size, climate, and location.  Two of the most general types of storage buildings are offers such as indoor units and outdoor units.  Both are good for certain things.  Therefore, to help you decide which type of unit, outdoor or indoor, you need, make sure to ask about it.

Talk about location. When you first step into the storage building, find out how many units are available. This is especially important if you need lots of space or if you expect that you'll need additional units in the future. If you do need multiple units at the beginning of the lease, request units that are close to each other so you can seamlessly move from one unit to the other when necessary.  The closer the site is to a populated area, the better. A storage building that is  close to a dense population can do very well even with poor physical visibility or access, as long as it has good visibility on the Internet. In established areas, you can safely pick this type of location if you’re closer to the population than other competitors and there’s no other land that’s more visible.

Take deals and offers to another level. Many storage building offers provide services other than simple unit rental. Companies may offer equipment rental, truck use, and hired labor that may add to the cost of your rental services. If your self-storage company offers these add-ons, clarify the restrictions and fees. Sometimes, these bundled services are more expensive than if purchased separately. Make sure your storage company is giving you the best deal.

Check storage building security. Units within a storage building add to security, especially if they are electronically monitored. Door alarms are particularly effective, but work best if the storage building is staffed during customer access hours. Whenever a storage facility offers access after office hours, its security may be compromised. Visit the storage facilities you are considering and ask questions about each facility's security features. Are you comfortable with the security arrangements?

Don't take a chance to store your belongings if your security questions are not satisfied.
