1. Choosing the perfect self storage unit -
A beginner's Guide
For most people the process of moving to a new place can be a very trying and stressful life
event. Sometimes we move on our own accord, other times life happens and we find ourselves
forced to leave the place we've called home for many years.
When we asked our tenants what the worst parts of the moving process were, we got a myriad of
answers that seemed to run the gamut of moving related stresses. Some of the more common
answers include but are not limited to the following:
-packing/unpacking
-hiring movers
-renting and driving a U-Haul truck
-broken glass/furniture
-cleaning
-leaving everything behind (friends,hangouts,work,school etc.)
-getting acquainted with your new community
-selling your house/ending the lease
-renting a storage
At Storage King USA we believe that the process of renting a storage unit should be the last
thing you need to worry about. Our user friendly website, convenient locations, and
knowledgeable sales staff are all at your service to make the process seamless and trouble free.
The fact is at Storage King USA, we know that many of our tenants have never used self-storage
before. For most people the only things they know about self-storage, they learned on the show
"Storage Wars" and other shows like it. What size would I need, would I need to sign another
long term lease? What if I only need it for a few few weeks? How can I insure my valuables?
These are all excellent questions and the answers to them may not be so obvious. That is why we
have assembled the following tips to help our tenants make the right choices when choosing a
unit of their own.
LOCATION
For some people this is a bit more important than others. If you operate a small business from
your storage unit, store work tools, or need to frequently access your unit you may want to make
sure that the storage facility you choose is conveniently located near your home or place of work.
Furthermore some facilities are expansive often spanning many levels and sectors. A person
needing frequent access to their belongings may want to consider units with 24 Hr access, drive
up units or units on the first floor of the property to lessen the amount of time they spend
accessing their storage locker, even if these units cost a little more than the others.

2. Other people store things because they are traveling abroad or a loved one passed and they need
to sell the house. For some of these people amenities may prove more important than location as
they may not need access to their belongings for extended periods of time. Higher up on their list
of concerns would be climate and pest control as well as an affordable protection plan to insure
their goods. Again it all depends on your particular needs. Not to worry as your space
requirements change you can easily transfer from one unit to the next and your balance will carry
over.
PRICE
One common mistake people make when they reserve a storage unit online is they tend to shop
by price and completely throw common sense to the wind. If you know that you need to store 2+
bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen would it then be logical to assume you can fit all of that
into a $65 dollar unit just because it is on sale? There is a difference between shopping smart and
setting yourself up for disappointment and failure.
Instead of going for the cheapest unit on the list, a better approach would be to utilize a space
calculator like the one found here --->storagekingusa.com/calculator... That way you know
exactly what your size requirement is when you start shopping around and comparing prices.
As a word of caution one must understand that the cheapest prices do not always translate into
the best deals. As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for! A facility may offer you
a spacious well lit 10x10 unit with individual door alarms, electrical outlets, climate control and
an $8 protection plan for $159/month. Now you call a rival facility nearby and they may offer
you that same unit for $99.99/month! What seemingly looks like a better deal could be a ruse to
get you in the door and entrap you into a ridiculous contract. If one facility is that much cheaper
than another there is probably a very good reason why! At that price they likely wouldn't be as
clean and don't even expect any of the same amenities as the more expensive facility!
Furthermore, while a protection plan may add a few more dollars on the total monthly rent, it is
vitally important to have if you do not have homeowners insurance that covers self-storage. No
protection plan means that you are storing at your own risk! The facility would not be
responsible if anything happens to your belongings. You can complain until you turn blue but
they would not be required by law to cough up a penny.
So while everyone always wants to get the best deal in town, it should not be done at the expense
of logic and sound judgement. Cramming your things into a unit that is obviously too small won't
work either. After you're done damaging everything, you'll mostly still need to take it all back
out and transfer to a bigger unit. By then you'd owe your movers a fortune, and what an epic
waste of time and energy! It is always a better idea to get rid of or donate things you don't need
rather than trying to stretch the limits of a small storage unit.
You can further keep costs low by taking full advantage of the many move in specials all Storage
King USA facilities offer. Knowing when you're payments are due and making timely payments
will help you avoid late fees or losing your stuff altogether in a storage unit auction. (Yes just
like the TV show)
The following guide from Storage King USA breaks down some of the typical storage unit sizes

3. and what you should reasonably expect to fit in them. Comparing prices suddenly becomes so
much easier once you understand what size you will need.

AMENITIES
We touched a little bit on this subject when discussing price but it is a very important part of
your decision making process. The fact is that no two people store exactly the same things. For
some people storing expensive leather furniture or client records, climate control may be an
absolute must however for others amenities like that only sweeten the deal. The following is a
list of amenities that Storage King USA offers. Use this as a guide so you too will know what to
ask for.

SECURITY
Because security is more than just an amenity we will include it as the last but certainly not least
feature to look for when choosing a storage unit of your own. The fact is that security is actually
a major concern among self-storage shoppers. . We know there’s an enduring stereotype that
self-storage facilities are dirty, dingy, dark and generally sketchy places. At Storage King USA
we work very hard to keep this line of reasoning just that....a myth! Our facilities are state of the
art structures and our staff work very hard to keep our buildings clean.
Storage King USA also realizes how important your personal belongings are to each and every
one of our customers and we've taken the appropriate steps to provide a secure environment for
your belongings. 24 hour digital security cameras are positioned throughout the interior and
exterior of the facility. Our facilities are also brightly lit, both on the interior and on the exterior.
Individual door alarms on the storage units are automatically triggered if a tenant created PIN
code is used to enter the facility that does not correspond with that unit. A computerized
monitoring system, displayed at our front desk, pinpoints activity within the building. We also
provide high security disc locks which are extremely difficult to cut. Signs and intercoms
strategically positioned on every floor help give our tenants an added feeling of safety and
wellbeing.
Congratulations! You are now a self-storage expert. If you made it this far into the article that
means you have learned everything you need to know about renting a self-storage unit of your
