Deciding on which storage facilities to choose can be
challenging. There are those that offer self-
Similarities
1.
Self-storage and moving storage units come in
various sizes – from something as small as a closet to something as big as your
two car garage.
2.
Both offer high degrees of security in the
premises of their storage facilities. Self-storage units are inside well-guarded
buildings; there are 24 hour roving security guards and CCTV cameras. Some
units have an additional level of protection because they have external
security doors aside from the internal locks on each unit. Moving storage
units, on the other hand, can be held inside secured storage facilities or your
home. Security features for moving storage units at home include sophisticated
doors and locks.
3.
Both self-storage and moving storage companies
have packages that fit one’s financial capabilities. Additional costs for
transportation, gas, and moving truck rental are added for moving storage.
Differences
1.
Self-storage facilities have climate controlled
units which gives premium protection to items that are sensitive to
temperature, moisture, and humidity. Climate controlled units are not usually
offered in moving storage facilities.
2.
Self-storage facilities normally do not allow
packing and unpacking in their premises. You need to transport items to and
from your place every time you need to get something. The same rule may apply
to moving units in storage facilities. This is in contrast with moving storage
units that are placed beside your house. You can pack and unpack at your own
time and pace.
3.
Moving storage units can be rented or bought.
Units in storage facilities are usually rented while units that are taken near
one’s home are usually bought.
4.
There are moving storage companies which offer
the option of moving storage units to another location, even across different
states. This option comes with a high price, though.
5.
Last but not the least, moving storage units are
easily accessible, whereas visits to units in storage facilities need to be
scheduled ahead of time. A call at least two days in advance is the typical
protocol for moving storage facilities. This is because moving units are
usually stacked on top of one another so moving is necessarily done. On the
other hand, self-storage units in storage facilities can be accessed anytime
you want. Advanced notice is not necessary because units are separated from one
another.
The choice between self-storage and moving storage depends
on you and your needs. The good thing is that you can make an informed decision
now. For more questions, contact the storage facility nearest you.
