The Advantage Of Renting Short-Term Storage Units

By Joyce McIntosh


You might be wondering why people place their belongings into self storage units, and there are certainly many excellent reasons why self storage is a great option. Here are some storage rental tips, as well as some reasons why storage units can come in handy.

If you are lucky, you will be able to move out of your old place and into your new home on the same day. However, if these dates are off by several weeks or perhaps even a month or more, you will need to store your furnishings and other belongings. Self storage units can be a great solution to this problem and almost always cost far less than the rates moving companies would charge for storage. In addition, if you need something from storage, you can actually get it out of self storage while a moving company doesn't afford you access to your belongings.

Even if your moving dates match perfectly, you might want to make some major changes to your new home. If you will be undergoing a major construction project, this process is much easier if your furnishings and other items are safely placed in a storage unit. This is also an option to consider if you aren't moving, but still undergoing renovations in your current home. You can store items from just a few rooms or your entire house, as storage companies typically offer several size options.

College students also can take advantage of mini storage units during their summer break. Most colleges require that you remove all of your items from your dorm during the summer months. Rather than dragging home all of your belongings, you can store most of them for a very low cost. Be sure to look for a mini storage facility that offers student discounts.

Of course, you need to select the perfect storage unit to fit your needs. Because you will need the unit for a short amount of time, bypass any company that requires a long-term rental agreement and select a place that offers a month-to-month option. Some storage facilities even allow you to pay by the week.

In addition, you need to find a storage facility that is fenced and very well lit. Security cameras should be active throughout the day and night, as well. It is also nice to find a company that provides access to your storage unit 24 hours a day and during all seven days of the week. This provides you with greater flexibility for moving or accessing your belongings.
