Finding the best price for storage spaces.
If this is your first time considering self storage, allow us to give you a little insider information. The prices for self storage units are fairly consistent in any given city. There will be slight variances, of course, just as there are for any product or service, but the laws of supply and demand control the range of prices in a competitive industry like self-storage.
A small storage unit may rent for $50 per month at one location, $55 at another, and $60 at a third. If you are renting a unit for one month, the question then becomes is it worth shopping around for that ten-dollar savings? If you are renting for six months, meaning you would save $60 over that span, perhaps then the price difference will be important to you.
Having said all that, it is our opinion that price is not the most important factor when renting space spaces. Besides, with move-in specials available at most storage places, it is quite possible, in a competitive market, to make up that $10 difference simply by shopping around a bit.
Price is not the most important factor.
With that claim out of the way, let’s turn our attention to what we believe should be the most important consideration, and that is security. How safe will your belongings be from one self-storage company to another? And the only way for you to determine that is to visit the various companies and see for yourself what security measures they take.
Fenced perimeter? One main access gate? Video surveillance? On-site management? Computerized access key cards? These are the main features found at secure self storage companies. Anything less than those four features and your possessions are susceptible to vandalism, theft, or damage due to the weather. It is very easy for a company to claim secure self storage; it is quite another matter to actually have secure self storage, the type of which we enumerated.
Reputation matters when protecting your possessions.
Check the reviews online. Bad news travels quickly. Check with the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. Check with your friends and extended family members. Yes, this may seem a tedious procedure for a one-month rental, but we would rather you spend a half-hour investigating than spend thousands of dollars replacing damaged possessions.
Bottom line words of advice storage companies: reputation matters. Good reputations are earned through great customer service. Bad reputations are also earned through consistently poor service.
