What should do to prepare and look for in a self storage provider?
Answered By GYB Storage
Follow these simple steps to ensure choosing a self storage provider is simple and stress free.
1) Ensure the storage provider has the industry standard security provision. Each storage unit should be fully enclosed, water-tight and unique to you, not shared with others. An example of an inferior method would be a single warehouse which has measly partitions, meaning people can see other people's belongings in the single warehouse. Many insurers will insist on enclosed spaces as security provision before accepting storage insurance.
2) Nobody should retain the key or pin code but you. Many insurers will insist on this provision.
3) Ensure you calculate your space before purchasing.
4) Ensure it is the practice of the storage provider to keep areas clean and professionally maintained.
5) Ensure it is the practice of the storage provider to keep the areas pest free. You may enquire with your provider as to any methods used in pest prevention.
6) Ensure to read the self storage agreement and fine print, including whether additional third party insurance is required.
7) Call your current insurer before moving items into storage, ask them whether they will cover you, and ask for a verbal statement of all conditions and differences compared with the normal cover while the contents are stored off site.
