Getting Your Stuff to the Self Storage Unit Facility

You’ve rented the perfect size storage unit for all your clutter and are ready to free up some much needed space around your home and now you are wondering how you are going to get your stuff to the storage unit facility. This is really a question that should be addressed before you rent a storage unit, but if you neglected this step, no worries, there’s still hope.

If you have a pick-up truck or an SUV then a couple of friends can more than likely be bribed with some pizza and cold beverages. Depending on how much stuff you have this can take a couple of hours for one or two trips or the entire day if you have to make multiple trips. If you think you will have to make too many trips and it will eat up too much gas, then you may need to consider renting a moving van or truck.

If you haven’t rented your self storage unit yet, great! There are many self-storage facilities that have a moving van or moving truck that they own and typically when you are renting from them, they will offer the vehicle to you at a special price when you move your stuff in. Some even let you use it for free. You can find this information out by calling ahead of time and simply asking if they have a van or truck available for use.

However you choose to get your stuff to the storage unit you will still need the help of those friends, so get the number to Dominos ready. Bribery is a wonderful thing!
