One of the most frustrating things about moving is where to temporarily store your things while you may be in-between places. Yes you could rent a moving truck and con some of your closest friends into giving up a Saturday then load all of your stuff and take it to a storage unit, but that is just the beginning.
Then you have to unload all of your stuff and hurry to clean out the rental truck and be sure to fill it with gas. Then it is off to the rental company before they close, hoping all along you can make it so you are not stuck having to park the truck somewhere overnight and then having to get it back in the early morning the next day. What a hassle!
Fortunately there is a much easier way to go about temporarily storing your stuff while you are moving. Portable storage units such as the ones that companies like PODS and PACK-RAT offer make temporarily storing your things while moving both easy and convenient.
After you decide what size portable storage unit you need you simply call one of the companies and have them deliver your unit to you. They will drop it off to you in your driveway and then it is you who dictates how long you have to load it up. Because there is no time limit you can load the portable storage unit at your leisure and not have to bother any friends in the process. Take a day to load or a week to load; it truly is up to you.
Once your portable storage unit is loaded up you then calls the company back and they will come and pick up your full unit and take it to their climate controlled facility. There your unit will be locked away and stored 24/7 and will always be in an environment of steady climate so you know your things will be safe from the eliments.
The best part about these portable storage unit facilities is that there is no long term contract required. You can store your things with them for a month or a year; again it is all up to you. This takes all the pressure off of you and allows you as much time as you need to conduct your move.
Once you have moved not your new home and you are settled in you may want your stuff. Well one more phone call is all it will take to get your stuff delivered in the container right to your new driveway. Once there you can of course take your time and unload your things at your leisure.
Once the portable storage unit is empty you simply call the company back and have them pick it up. Then you are done with the entire process and you didn’t have to rent a moving truck or bother any of your friends.
Moving is hard enough. In order to take some pressure off of yourself when looking for temporary storage solutions for your move consider a portable storage unit. The ease and convenience makes moving just a little more pleasant; though it will still be stressful for sure.

Yes..many self storage facilities allow rentals from week to week, which is the best way to rent on a temporary basis, if you are not sure that you will need the storage for more than a week.
