Everyone has items that they use infrequently—if at all—but can’t bear to part with. By boxing up these belongings and moving them into a storage unit, you can declutter your home while preserving cherished possessions for future generations. If you’ve never rented a storage unit before, though, you’re probably wondering what to look for in one. 

3 Tips for Finding the Perfect Storage Unit 

1. Determine What Features You Need 

If you’ll be storing items that are especially vulnerable in extreme temperatures—instruments, appliances, leather goods, or wooden furniture, for example—you need a climate-controlled unit. Other features you may need to prioritize include electrical outlets, around-the-clock security, adequate lighting, and extra-wide doors. 

2. Consider How Much Access You Want

Consider how much access you’ll need based on the items you’ll be storing. If you won’t need the belongings until you relocate, convenient access isn’t all that important. If, on the other hand, you’ll be storing seasonal items, you’ll be glad you prioritized accessibility when the holidays roll around.  

3. Evaluate Each Facility’s Reputation 

It’s crucial for the facility you’re considering to be in a good part of town and offer flexible contracts. Also, you should review what current customers have to say about the services they provide. Check out reviews from online rating sites before signing on the dotted line so you can be sure that they value their customers while taking care of all their belongings.
