Self Storage is the rental of space within a larger complex (i.e. warehouse). One of the main advantages is that you can enjoy exclusive access to your possessions. Some self service facilities provide 24hr access, where others only provide access during regular business hours.

Most Self-Storage facilities provide the following:

• You can arrange for a storage or removal company to move your items for you, or you can move your items yourself to the storage unit.
• You are usually the only person who will have the keys for your unit
• You can choose from heated storage (for more fragile items / documents) or non-heated storage (cheaper – suitable for most bulk items)
• Ask if there are Easy Access facilities if you have larger items that would be easier to unload with a “drive-up” unit.
