Chances are that there is a self storage facility in your town, if not more than more one. Everyone can use more space in their homes and offices and millions of people find self storage to be a great solution. Here are some of the top reasons consumers and businesses choose to utilize these facilities.
1. Convenience: Self storage facilities are located within 3 minutes or less of 80% of the U.S. population. That means you can get to your unit quickly and take care of your business quickly.
2. Flexibility: Self storage units are used to store a variety of belongings including personal storage, business storage, records storage, etc. The terms are also flexible. Most operators require only a month to month commitment. When you no longer need the service, you can exit without long term commitments.
3. Price: Self storage is an inexpensive way to address your extra space needs. The average size unit (approximately 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep) costs approximately $65 per month (national average). Since self storage comes in a variety of small and large sizes, you only pay for the space you actually need and use.
4. Privacy: You control access to your space. You use your own lock and no one has access to the unit except those people you authorize.
5. Coordination: Self storage is increasingly an integrated service. More and more facilities are offering truck rentals (sometimes either at a discount or free), moving supplies, mail boxes and a whole host of other products and services so that you can coordinate all your needs from one location.
If you find your home or office is overloaded, take a short drive to the local self storage facility and see what they have to offer. Like millions of others, you could find this to be a cost effective solution to gaining more space and even take advantage of the additional services that many offer.
