A few points that you must keep in mind regarding your self-storage facility:   

• Accessibility is one major factor regarding the storage facilities. How many times you visit your storage space is another important factor. If your storage space is frequently visited and extremely accessible then it will be suitable to rent a larger space so that space for movement remains there.

• Plan your budget and stick to it. When you decide to rent a storage unit you need to acquire all the monetary information regarding it. Ask the manager about rates, discounts, how often the rates are increased and at what frequency etc. It is also important to check the condition of the storage unit, its capacity and density, in case you are hiring a second hand unit.

• Most storage facilities are not weather proof. It is better to be prepared for heavy rains and storms especially when you are planning to rent a garage storage facility and you live in a tropical country. Storm and water logging may affect your stored goods. It is better to rent a facility that has weatherproofing even if it costs a little higher.

• Check with your renting manager about the different payment options. It is best to rent a self storage space that offer online payments which ensures hassle free rent deposition. At the same time, it is important to inquire whether the storage company will deliver the unit to your home or not. In that case you can save on any additional transportation cost.

• Sign up with people who allow you to use your own lock. Once you take up a place for rent go and find the best possible lock available in the market that are bolt cutter proof and install them in your storage facilities.
