While the saying Size Does Not Matter may pertain to a host of situations in life and business, self storage is not one of them. If you have ever tried to load a folded stroller, infant car seat, wet dog, four bags of groceries, a diaper bag, and a host of toys into a car the size of a Toyota Tercel, you will most likely agree that size indeed does matter. The same is true for your self storage needs.
Making your count, operates on similar lines. While you might be able to shoehorn in all of the above into the aforementioned vehicle, the fact that a Toyota Camry might be a better vehicle choice will make sense. Thus if you are inviting quotes for a self storage unit, make sure you get quotes for a unit of adequate size. If you fail to plan accordingly, you will miss out on the first vital tip of self storage quote shopping: know what you are renting! Rates for storage units vary greatly all across town, and they do not go up in logical progression, but instead rise and fall with the amount of consumer demand for a certain sized unit in a specific neighborhood.
Secondly, ask about additional fees. While telephone quotes are usually the bare bones monies required to get you moved in, further questioning will reveal that one facility may charge first and last months’ rent plus a cleaning deposit, while other’s will only charge a prorated amount for two additional weeks to cover the cost that they may lose when seeking to rent out your to someone else. Last but not least, make sure you understand the taxes and surcharges which some companies do not quote unless specifically asked to do so.
