Self-Storage Facilities Options When looking for that perfect place to store your old Motley Crue album collection (don't know what an album is? ask your folks to explain), you need to scrutinize storage facilities almost as closely as you would a home -- you won't be living there, but your stuff will be.

The most obvious thing to consider is location. You'll want a storage facility that's close to your home; this will save you money and time if you make frequent visits, and make sure you know the facility's hours for accessing the facility. Next up, security. Are the security features different during regular business hours versus after-hours? And make sure you're comfortable enough with whatever storage facility that you feel comfortable visiting at any hour of the day.

Determine the storage size you need, and then talk about the most suitable unit with the storage owners. The price range will depend on size, storage period and special needs. And look around: You’ll frequently see offers to get your first month free. How will your stuff be insured? Especially important for high-value items. Storage companies offer their own insurance; find out about the facility's procedures in cases such as natural disasters like floods. Also check if your renters insurance or homeowners insurance will cover your goods while in storage.
