Are you planning to put your possessions in storage? Look for a reputable storage company that is known to provide good service. Try to find a conveniently located self service storage facility that is easily accessible.

Visit the self storage facility to see if it has adequate parking space, and if moving trucks can be parked close to the storage units. Find out if carts are available for moving your things to and from the self storage units.

Make sure that your possessions will be safe and will be protected from heat and moisture. Watch out for signs of weeds, mold, and pests. Look for a secure storage facility that has a boundary wall or fence, controlled access, fire and security alarm systems, close circuit TV cameras, and security guards.

Rent a storage unit that is just the right size for you. If you rent a storage unit that is too small, you may fall short of space, and if you rent a unit that is too large, you will have to pay for space you may never use.

Find out if you can access your storage unit for free, as many times as you want, and if you can visit after office hours and on holidays. The mini storage facility may arrange for a rental moving truck to help you to move your possessions.

You can consider renting a more expensive climate controlled self storage unit if you want to store items like wooden furniture, photos, and videotapes.

Buy a strong lock that doesn’t have an exposed shackle. If you want additional protection, you can look for a storage unit with an individual security alarm. Ask the self storage company about your options for insuring your possessions.

You can also look for a moving storage company that will drop a portable storage container at your home or office. After you have packed your possessions in the storage container and locked it, the service provider will pick it up and put it in a storage facility.

You can call up the storage service when you want your things back, and the container will be dropped at your doorstep.

Check the reputation of the self-storage company and read the contract carefully before you sign up. You can arrange to have the rent charged to your credit card automatically to avoid missing out on payments.
