The Top 5 Reasons to Use Self Storage

Chances are that there is a self storage facility in your town, if not more than one. Everyone can use more space in their homes and offices and millions of people find self storage to be a great solution. Here are some of the top reasons consumers and businesses choose to utilize these facilities.

1. Convenience: Self storage facilities are located within 3 minutes or less of 80% of the U.S. population. That means you can get to your unit quickly and take care of your business quickly.
2. Flexibility: Self storage units are used to store a variety of belongings including personal storage, business storage, records storage, etc. The terms are also flexible. Most operators require only a month to month commitment. When you no longer need the service, you can exit without long term commitments.
3. Price: Self storage is an inexpensive way to address your extra space needs. The average size unit (approximately 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep) costs approximately $85 per month (national average). Since self storage comes in a variety of small and large sizes, you only pay for the space you actually need and use.
4. Privacy: You control access to your space. You use your own lock and no one has access to the unit except those people you authorize.
5. Coordination: Self storage is increasingly an integrated service. More and more facilities are offering truck rentals (sometimes either at a discount or free), moving supplies, mail boxes and a whole host of other products and services so that you can coordinate all your needs from one location.
