If you're in the military, your unique lifestyle is one the requires a long-term storage rental. In addition to saving you a lot of time and money, this unit will also make life much easier. Learn more about when to use storage, and what to look for in a facility, to make the most of your rental.

When to Use Storage

Military families are often used to moving around. When you receive a new assignment, you'll also receive housing either on the base or somewhere nearby. If you're downsizing your housing space, use a storage facility to make your relocation easier and avoid throwing belongings away. A long-term unit also allows you to access your belongings while you move, without having to keep them underfoot.

Long-term storage is also essential for people who are deployed overseas. You likely won't want to keep paying for an apartment rental while you're gone, and you don't want to sell items before leaving. Putting everything into storage saves money on rent and lets you have all the comforts of home when you return.

How to Use It

Look for a facility that offers flexibility in your lease length and unit size, since your deployment may be extended, and the amount you need to store may change. For example, if you return from overseas and want to pull most of your belongings out to furnish your new home, you don't want to pay for space you're not using. As you look for a facility, also ask about storing items such as firearms and vehicles.
