Storage containers are a great option for many needs. Maybe you are low on storage in your current home, or maybe there are some items you won’t be needing for a while. Either way, today we will cover some of the best tips for those new to renting storage units in 2022. 

Research, Research, Research

Every new renter is going to have a specific set of needs that the storage unit will need to meet. Make sure you carefully evaluate how much space you will need, this way you will not be overpaying for too much or run out of space. Make a list of each time you plan to store ahead of time to get a better picture of how much space you need. If you need a climate-controlled space, make this one of your requirements during the search for the proper amount of storage. Maybe you need remote leasing services because your property is tight on space, this should be another parameter you use during the search. 

Insurance

Most storage unit companies require you to pay for insurance in the case of loss or damage, but this is a good thing! This insurance covers you in the case of a catastrophic or accidental event. A lot of companies also let you roll your storage unit insurance into your homeowner’s insurance, which means you won’t have to worry about paying an extra bill every month. The storage company will help you with this process, and it should be relatively easy to obtain. 

Whether you’re moving and need a short-term portable storage or want to store your items off-site in our storage center indefinitely, UNITS makes moving and storage as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Indoor vs Outdoor Storage

Whether or not your storage unit should be inside or outside is entirely dependent on the items you plan to keep inside. If you are storing items like paintings, glass, ceramics, or other fragile items, you need an indoor unit. However, outdoor units are much cheaper and are perfect for storing clothes, furniture, vehicles, etc. These items won’t be affected much by changes in temperature and have a higher chance of surviving the elements. Luckily for you, UNITS Storage allows you to make this decision easily.
