Public self-storage
units are available in a wide range of sizes. To determine the best size
storage unit for you, take an inventory of all the items you plan to store.
Making a list is often useful, since you're less likely to forget items which
require more space. Also, think about your future needs. Is it likely you will
be adding items later on? If so, consider adding those to your list to be sure
that your space will accommodate your items now and in the future.
Security in Storage Facilities. There are two factors to consider. First, does the storage facility offer
a safe environment with controlled access to help protect your goods? And just
as important, will you feel safe there? Does the storage facility have a
controlled access? Is it well lighted and staffed at all times? Second, what
security features does the building offer? Door alarms are particularly
effective, but work best if the 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.
Knowing the Storage Facilities' Rules and
Arrangements and Insurances. Don’t get
caught off guard by hidden administrative fees, penalties, and other clauses
that may exist in your agreement. Take the time to go over each part of your
contract before signing so you’re aware of all of the storage facilities'
policies and guidelines. While most storage facilities do not sell insurance they
usually make applications available to purchase insurance from other companies.
If your personal insurance company does not extend insurance to your stored
property we recommend you purchase insurance to cover your needs while storing.
Finding the Best Location. If you’re using public self-storage as a temporary solution for moving
from home to home, consider the location of your storage facility. Decide if it
will be more convenient to have your storage unit near your old house or your
new one. You should also compare prices in the two areas as well; depending on
the areas there may be substantial differences in price.
