Let’s be honest … moving can be daunting – especially if you’re new to the process.

Toiling through the junk you’ve accumulated over the years, trusting that all boxes stay intact and are labelled correctly, you’re essentially uprooting your entire life –  along with all your memories and worldly possessions that go along with it.

But what happens when you realise you can’t quite fit everything into your new home? You’ve donated all that you can, thrown out everything you couldn’t salvage, and you’re still left with the stuff you want to keep but can’t fit?

Your best option: self-storage units.

In this blog, we explore all the things to consider before you choose the right, most cost-effective, storage space for rent.

What Sizes Are Available?

When it comes to storage space – size matters most. It’s recommended to write down a list of the items you’re wanting to store and then measure it out to see what size unit you’ll require. How many cubic metres your storage space is will obviously impact how much you can fit, but it also dictates the price – so getting the measurements right is essential.

If maths isn’t your strong suit, never fear. Our Space Calculator is free and readily available to do the brainwork for you.

How Long Do You Need?

Is self-storage only a short term solution? Or are you going to require the unit for a longer time frame? Many facilities vary from week to week, month to month or year to year availability and payment systems. These are things to consider if you want to get the best value for your space.

The 3 S’s – Security, Safety and Service 

Packing your possessions away into a storage unit takes a lot of trust, so you want to make sure that the facilities are safe, secure and serviced by true professionals.

Whether it’s short or long term, you should ensure that there is around the clock video surveillance system protecting your unit, and that you have access to it 24/7 – 365 days a year.

Not only that, but you’re going to want it staffed by a team that understands you and your unique needs. What kind of storage are you after? Is it for personal belongings or business inventory? Getting these details right will not only make the moving process easier, but will ensure your space (and money) is being utilised as efficiently as possible.
