General tips for renting storage space
Carry out a needs analysis and checklist
Before you rent a storage space, you should know exactly how much space you need. Make a list of the items you want to store and estimate the space you need. Also think about future purchases that may require space. Alternatively, you can calculate the required storage space using the STORE ROOM storage space calculator.
Select a location with suitable storage space
The location of the storage area plays an important role. Ideally, the storage area should be close to your home or workplace to make access easier. Think about how often you will need the stored items and choose a location that is easily accessible for you.
Check the security of the storage provider
The security of your stored items is of the utmost importance. Make sure that the provider of the storage space has adequate security measures in place, such as video surveillance, access controls and alarm systems. Also find out about the opening hours and whether access to the storage area is possible around the clock.
Book a storage: Note flexibility
Sometimes the requirements for storage space change. A good provider should offer flexible contract terms so that you can change the size of the storage space or terminate the contract if necessary. Check the minimum rental period and the notice periods carefully.
Climate control and care for stored items
Depending on the items stored, it may be necessary to rent a climate-controlled storage space. Sensitive items such as electronics, works of art or documents require special storage conditions to prevent damage caused by moisture or temperature fluctuations.
Rent for storage space: compare costs
Compare the prices of different providers and pay attention not only to the monthly rental costs, but also to any additional costs such as insurance or fees for access outside regular opening hours. Many providers also offer discounts for long-term rentals.
Take out insurance for storage space
Check whether your stored items are adequately insured. Some providers offer insurance as part of the rental contract, while in other cases additional insurance must be taken out. Find out about the scope of the insurance cover and any deductibles.
Rent commercial storage space
Renting commercial storage space can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for companies.
Whether for additional storage capacity, seasonal storage of goods or as a distribution center – a commercial storage space offers the necessary flexibility to respond to fluctuating business requirements.
When choosing a commercial storage space, make sure that it is well connected to transportation hubs and has enough space for your stored goods. In addition, the storage areas should be equipped for easy access by delivery vehicles and have security measures such as video surveillance and access controls.
