Now, though, let’s talk about storage facilities for rent, what is available to you, and what it will cost you.
What can you store in storage facilities for rent?
This is a very common question, and a good question, because the items which should not be stored in a storage unit can cause some problems if they are.
You should not store perishables. You should not store explosives or weapons. In our professional opinion, unless you pay extra for climate-controlled storage, you should not store electronics in a storage unit, and you should not store some sensitive coverings like leather. Collectibles are not a good idea; nor are paintings. Everything else is reasonably safe to store. Having said that, we always recommend paying a minimal amount for renter’s insurance. Call your local insurance agent and get yourself covered . . . just in case. The insurance literally costs pennies on the dollar . . . less than that, actually . . . and for the peace of mind, it is well worth it.
What do storage facilities cost?
There is no way for us to give an accurate answer to this question, simply because by the time anyone reads it, the prices will have changed.
What we can say, without hesitation, is the bigger the storage spaces, the more they will cost. That is a standard across the entire industry. We can also tell you that prices will fluctuate even within the same city, so it is worth your time to play a little phone tag and get some price quotes from various storage companies in your city. At the same time, ask about move-in specials; you just might save yourself some money that way.
