A storage unit might be just what you need if you’re planning a move. There are lots of options available, but it makes the most sense to get the storage unit you need from the Toronto, ON moving company you hire to move you. This is important because things will flow much better if you only have to deal with one company rather than work out logistics with two businesses.
If a move is in your near-term plans and you might need a storage unit, here are 3 things to know.
- Reserve Unit ASAP
You might be surprised if you knew how quickly storage units are rented out. From people who are moving and need a place to store their extra stuff, to people who have sold their homes and aren’t sure what their next steps will be in terms of accommodations, to people who want a secure place to put their collectibles, there is a lot of demand for storage units. So it makes sense to book yours as soon as possible. Again, you might find it easier to book a storage unit from the moving and storage companies you hire to move you, and dealing with a single company for both things will save you time and money. The last thing you want is to find that there are no available storage units, so be sure to book yours as soon as you know you’ll need one.
- Find Out What You Can’t Store
One of the things you absolutely must do is find out what you can’t store. You might be under the impression that you can store just about anything, but that would be a mistake. For instance, you have to be wary when it comes to storing firearms, flammable products, animal products or other things. The storage unit company will likely inform you of any prohibited items, but be sure to ask if this topic isn’t brought up during consultations with the company.
- Look for Options
Before you decide on a storage unit, be sure to weigh your options. Since no two service providers are alike, it pays to visit websites and check out storage unit sizes and configuration as well as find out about security and accessibility. Don’t think you can go on price alone. The cheapest price might not afford you the space or the security you want for your possessions. You can check out websites, call or even stop by certain companies to see things in person.
