Whether you are relocating locally or undergoing a long-distance move, you may need a place to store your belongings for a certain period of time - due to downsizing, temporary relocation, or delayed possession date. Whatever the case, safe, secure, and top-of-the-line storage services are an absolute must to keep your belongings safe until you are ready to come back for them.

​

When choosing the right storage, look for clean, secure storage spaces at a reasonable price. Some important factors to consider include:

​

• Size of the moving storage unit. Generally, larger storage units will come with a higher associated cost. As such, it is absolutely crucial to choose “just the right size” to store your belongings.

​

• Location of the storage unit. Generally, storage facilities located near downtown are more expensive as compared to those in the suburban or residential areas. As such, if you aren’t planning on accessing your items on a regular basis, you may want to look at storage facilities outside of the city, even if it may be further from your home. On the other hand, if you are planning on going back to retrieve your items on multiple occasions, we recommend renting a unit that is close to your home

​

• Type of moving storage. When choosing your storage company, make sure to consider which type of storage will serve your needs. Do you need indoor or outdoor storage? Are you planning to keep your possessions there for a long or short period of time? Would you be more comfortable getting storage services directly from your moving company? These questions will help you to determine what type of storage you should be looking for.

​

• Other considerations. Don’t forget to review in detail all the special features offered by your storage facility. If you are planning to store artwork, photographs, books, or musical instruments, it might be worthwhile to look into a storage unit with climate control. On the other hand, if you are planning on storing especially valuable items, consider getting a storage unit with enhanced security systems or insurance coverage.
