First Time Storage Rental Tips and Storage Advice Tips

As with anything new, renting a storage unit for the first time may seem intimidating. Once you know what to expect, the process will seem much less daunting. Before renting a storage unit, check out these tips to help you get the most out of your investment!

What is the Cost of a Storage Unit? The price of a storage unit rental is dependent on both the size and type of the storage unit you decide to get. A small, regular storage unit is less expensive than a small, climate-controlled storage unit. As the size of the storage unit increases, the price also increases.

How Much Storage is Needed? The first step in renting a storage unit is determining how much storage space you need. To make space estimates please watch the size guide videos on the website. If you later decide that more storage is needed, you can rest easy knowing we offer month-to-month rental options so you are not locked into a long-term contract.

How to Choose Your Storage Unit Facility Once you determine how much storage space you need, it’s time to decide what type of storage unit makes the most sense. Depending on the items you are storing as well as the length of time you plan to rent, you may benefit from choosing a climate-controlled storage unit. If you are storing items that could be damaged by fluctuations in temperature, a climate-controlled storage unit is recommended. Examples of items put in a climate-controlled unit include wooden or leather furniture, wine, pictures, and electronics.

Over time, the humid and muggy Georgia air can damage the items stored in a regular storage unit. If you are storing your items for an extended period, consider utilizing a climate-controlled storage unit. A climate-controlled storage unit will be your best defense in combatting fluctuations in temperature.
