Answering Your Top Questions About Using Storage Facilities.
As you look into storage facilities for your household items, you may find yourself wondering how renting a unit works. While the process isn’t difficult, understanding the details is important. Payless Storage has answers to some of the most common questions they’re asked about self-storage.
FAQs on Using Storage Facilities
What Kind of Storage Unit Do I Need?
This depends on what you’re planning to store. Storage units range from the size of a large closet to vast rooms that hold a whole house’s worth of possessions. The staff can work with you to determine what cubic footage you need. You’ll also want to consider whether you want an indoor or outdoor unit. Boat and RV storage, for example, requires a unit you can drive up to; these are also a better choice if you want to load belongings in and out of your vehicle with ease. Meanwhile, indoor storage is better for things you don’t want exposed to changing weather. For antiques or delicate items, you may want to go one step further and opt for climate-controlled storage that maintains a stable environment.
How Long Do I Need to Rent a Unit?
Most facilities go month to month, but there’s generally not an expected minimum number. You can easily rent a unit for just one month while you move.
How Will I Access My Items?
Many storage facilities, including Payless Storage, have computerized gates with access codes required to get inside. You’ll have your own lock and key for the unit itself, and only people you designate will have access.
Will My Belongings Be Secure?
Any reputable facility will take plenty of precautions to prevent damage and theft. If you’re considering storage with a business, check for sturdy fences and doors, plenty of lighting, and a surveillance system. Storage facilities typically also require insurance for your belongings, whether you use your homeowners insurance or get third-party insurance through their recommendation. This also helps you gain peace of mind knowing you have further protection.
