Top 3 Must-Haves When Choosing a Self-Storage Unit

 
Finding a self storage facility in Arizona may not be that difficult, but finding an exceptional facility that fits your unique needs can take some extra thought and consideration. When it comes to storing your belongings, you should find a facility that offers a variety of options, convenient location and access, and overall quality and cleanliness.
 

Options

 
The best self storage facilities offer a variety of storage options. For example, when you take stock of what items you need to store, you should be able to find a facility that offers a storage unit size to fit your needs. The best storage facilities offer a variety of sizes and are quick to help their customers identify the right fit.
 
Having climate controlled storage units available is another option you’ll want to have when selecting a storage space. Climate controlled units provide added security and protection, not only from heat or cold, but from humidity, dust, and pests, too.
 
As a valued storage customer, you’ll want to check out pricing packages and payment options, as well as extra offerings such as boat and RV storage and extended hours. These details might not apply to you at the moment, but having these options ensures that the facility is customer-driven and accommodating should you even run into those needs.
 

Convenience

 
It is important to consider the location of your storage unit. Whether you’re storing your items on a short-term or long-term basis, you will always want easy, quick, and convenient access to your storage unit. Finding a facility close to home or office, depending on your needs, is the best way to start your self storage search.
 
Be sure to check out any gate access restrictions, hours of operation, and any other policies that might impact your ability to get to your unit when you need to. The last thing you want is to head to your storage unit to pick up something valuable only to find that they are closed when you assumed they would be open.
 

Quality and Cleanliness

 
You can tell a lot about a storage facility just from looking at it. Is the office and customer area clean and organized? When you drive by the storage units, do they look sturdy and well kept on the outside? Be sure to take the time to look at the exact unit you’ll be renting before signing any papers. If the inside of the unit is dirty or has a strong odor, it could be a sign of overall neglect in that facility.
 

Final Considerations

 
As you search for a self storage unit to fit your needs, take the time to find out what options a facility offers, the convenience of the location and unit access, and the quality and cleanliness of the facility. Last, but not least, be sure that any representative you talk to or work with delivers excellent customer service.
