How to Save Money When Choosing a Storage Space
Choosing where you want to store - prices vary location to location. Often storage is more economical in outer suburbs and regional areas. However, proximity to work or home is important. Saving a few dollars for a long drive in traffic may be a false economy Prices may vary within the same property - the same size unit is often lower rent if it is on an upper level. Driveway units offer the most convenience and are often higher rent
Pack your space well - Careful and tight packing means you can fit quite alot into a surprisingly small space. One trick is packing boxes inside wardrobes. Another is to store lounges on their ends.
Make full use of height - storage companies do not charge for height, just floor area. This means packing high also enables you to take a smaller space.
