Choosing storing units can sometimes be a lengthy process, especially when someone has not properly planned. Going through the preparation process and gathering information can assist a person in saving time and making sure they get the storage facility they need, at a price that meets their budget. Consider these helpful tips before renting any unit for storage.

It is important to first figure out how much space is needed. Units come in different sizes. Normal unit sizes range from as small as 5X5 to as large as 10X30. They can hold a wide array of furniture, clothing, electronics, seasonal decor and even boats and RVs. Figuring out what will need to be stored can help a person to choose the right sized unit for their needs.

When choosing an Edmond self storage, people need to consider access to the unit. Many units offer drive-up service that makes it easy to load and unload items. There are also multi-level buildings that may require the use of a freight carrier and elevator. Asking about this information before renting can save a person aggravation.

It can be helpful to shop around for different self storage buildings before making a final decision. This will allow prices and information on services to be gathered so the right decision can be made. Many people end up saving money by choosing a facility that is not located near the city. Rural locations often offer less expensive rental fees.

A good facility should be well-lit, offer security cameras, security alarms, and gates. These security features help to deter thieves and those who seek to cause damage. Units that do not offer these features could be risky.

Renters should ask about discounts for paying in advance. Some companies will offer discounts when a person rents by the year or by six-month periods instead of by the month.

It is imperative renters choose to purchase insurance to cover their belongings while in the facility. This protection is typically affordable and can help to cover loss and damage.

Before renting from a facility, renters need to make sure they fully tour the grounds and fully understand the policy. Renting a unit without touring the facility first could be a risk.
