The best way to ensure that you are receiving good value on your storage unit rental is to visit the storage facility itself.
When comparing public self storage locations, you`ll likely encounter many different self storage facilities and many different storage unit sizes and prices. To ensure you`re getting the best value in a self storage unit, ask the following questions:
- Is the self storage price quoted on a 4 week payment period (cycle) or is the price quoted monthly? If on a 4 week cycle, add 8.3 % to get the monthly equivalent.
- Are there seasonal or prepayment discounts and how do they affect your cost?
- Are there extra charges, such as the mandatory purchase of a lock and/or insurance, administrative fees, etc.?
- Is a security deposit required?
Price consideration
- Is the storage facility clean, secure, bright, and well lit?
- Is the storage unit site climate controlled, including heating and air supply and circulation?
- Are there extended hours and access to the storage facilities 365 days per year?
- Are moving carts/dollies available to facilitate your move to your storage unit?
- Is the staff knowledgeable, helpful and courteous?

Value consideration
When you tour a storage property, you`ll want to make sure the facility is clean. Cleanliness is a good indicator of how much the owners of the storage facility care about your valuables being in a safe and secure environment. If the storage facilities are well taken care of and secure, you`ll be certain to get your valuables back in the same condition as they were when you dropped them off.
Another good indicator is the level of service that you get from the staff on site. Are they experienced and knowledgeable? Are they willing to go the extra mile to make your storage unit rental experience as easy, pleasant, and convenient as possible? They should be!
