Renting A Storage Unit For The First Time May Seem Like A Confusing Process.
Don’t fear – it is actually quite simple! We have outlined the steps from beginning to end so you can be prepared and do not get overwhelmed when you come to see us.
Plan Ahead.
Don’t get caught without solutions! By planning ahead you can save yourself a lot of headaches when moving day arrives.
- Reserve Your Unit. Units often change price based upon availability. Lock in your low rate with a reservation.
- Start Packing Now. You may need more boxes than you planned for. Packing early, long before your move, will help you stay on track and you can purchase more boxes with plenty of time to spare.
Ask Yourself Important Questions.
This may sound a bit funny, but part of being prepared is knowing the answers to some important questions. Even a rough list will be better than no list at all. Here are some good questions to start with:
- How Long Will I Need The Unit? You may be planning to use self storage temporarily (a couple of months) while you prepare your new home or while your college student is away at school. Or, you could be planning to use it long term (several years) to store holiday decorations or to keep family heirlooms safe – like that old army trunk from grandpa that you don’t need access to regularly but you don’t want to just toss it in the basement where moisture can damage it.
- How Many Rooms Of Furniture Will I Have To Store? Determining how many rooms of furniture you need to store will help decide what size unit you need to rent.
- How Many Boxes Will I Need? Many times you think you have enough boxes for all of your stuff but later find out that you have run out in the middle of packing. We can help!
