HOW TO COMPARE SELF STORAGE PRICES & SERVICE

When choosing a Self Storage company it is important to make a few basic checks and ask the right questions.

Q. Can I view the self storage facility without appointment during business hours?

(If possible, go and take a look at the facility first. Many storage companies only show pictures of the units on their websites. You should look for pictures of the building inside and out to get a good idea of the type of company you're dealing with)

Q. How much can I store in the space you have quoted me?

Q. What access do I have and is this inside the storage facility?

Q. Do you have a reception area at your storage facility?

(Some companies have only limited customer facilities)

Q. Do you have packaging materials I can buy on arrival?

Q. Do you provide in-store assistance with heavier items I can't manage myself?

Q. What security arrangements do you have?

Q. Is a deposit charged when I start my storage contract?

(Some storage companies charge deposits plus the first months' rental in advance)

Q. How long have you been in business for and what is the financial standing of the company particularly as I want long term storage?

Q. Do you have adequate insurance cover that is tailored to the self storage industry?
