Yes, there are questions you should ask before you rent a storage unit, and we are not talking about questions for the storage company, but rather questions you need to ask yourself.
We are Mouse Self Storage, serving South Fort Worth, Alvarado, and Johnson County from our location in the 917 Industrial Park, Alvarado. Call us at 682-800-3949 for more information about the storage solutions we offer.
Now, though, we need to prepare you for your self storage adventure.
Basic questions before you rent a storage unit.
Some of these may not apply to your situation, but they all need to be considered before you rent a storage unit:
- What types of items will you be storing?
- How long will you need to store things?
- Is the storage facility clean and secure?
- What amenities are important to you when you rent a storage unit?
- Is the storage facility conveniently located?
- How do you pack items for maximum storage?
- What is your budget?
- Do you need storage insurance?
- How do you arrange your unit for ease of access?
How important is each of these questions? Let us answer this way: these are the most common questions we answer on a daily basis, which means they will be common for you as well.
Make sure the storage places can meet your needs.
A tour is necessary before you sign a contract. How else can you answer the question about cleanliness and secure self storage? Not all storage places offer the same security. Not all offer the same amenities like climate control self storage or electricity in the units. There are so many variables in this industry, and you need to be aware of those variables.
And make sure you sign a short-term contract, month-to-month, so you have an easy exit strategy should problems arise.
What will you pay?
This is a tricky question, for there is no standard rental fee across the United States. Location, size of unit, amenities, all of these things can affect the price of storage units. Even giving a rough estimate of price is difficult. Let’s say the smallest unit is 10’x10’. You can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150 per month for such a unit, depending upon the location and extras offered.
We certainly are not attempting to scare you off; on the contrary, we benefit by increased business. But we are attempting to cut down on the confusion and bad feelings which arise from confusion. We are all better off when both parties understand completely the transaction they are about to enter into. Ask the questions listed above. Eliminate confusion and, by doing so, have a pleasant self storage experience.
