Moving is stressful, especially if you have limited time to pack. You may also be waiting between two homes, and needing to rent an apartment before the new one is ready. Self-storage is the perfect alternative, as you can hold your items safely and securely. Below are a few ways to make this process easier.

Top 4 Benefits of Self-Storage Between Moves

1. Store Non-Essentials

Although most self-storage units allow easy access, you still need to drive over to get possessions. Figure out what you need before you place your items inside—like bathroom objects or kitchen utensils. Store seasonal items like summer clothing for the winter, or anything that may not fit in your apartment or new home.

2. Provides More Moving Time

Unless you can take time off work during moving day, there’s still little time to move everything from your old home to the new. Packing items before and placing them in a corner could disrupt the moving experience. Placing boxes in a storage unit before the move means starting weeks earlier, lightening the load for moving day.

3. Reduce Clutter

A self-storage unit gets boxes out of the way. Closer to moving day, boxes will pile on your floor, which can interrupt your daily activity. As another positive, it will mean there’s less to move on moving day, as well, which can help to make a move more productive.

4. Save Money

Having less in your home means less to move. Using a self-storage unit will give you more flexibility on the amount of moving trucks you need to hire. You may only need one vehicle for large furniture and necessities. Later on, go back to the storage unit and slowly bring boxes back into your new home.
