Considerations:

Assess your needs: Think about what items you need to store, how much space you require, what your budget is and how long you will require the storage for.

Consider location: A storage facility near your home or work will ensure that transportation costs are minimised.

Ensure that your storage is convenient: Some storage facilities offer 24-hour access so that your items are readily available whenever you require them.

Consider how flexible your storage facility is, in terms of budget and minimum term.

Be cautious with security: Source storage that has added security measures such as gated access, CCTV, and individually locked units.

Look for the correct size unit: Too small will be cramped and too large will result in wasted costs associated with a larger-than-needed space.
