Here are some ways, that may or may not surprise you, on how self storage units can save you money in the long-run. Let us know any additional ways self storage save you, a friend or family money in the comment box below. 

1. Saving Space 

Renting out a storage unit is a lot cheaper than renting a larger house, apartment or commercial space. For those who have extra stuff with little space, it is a great option to just get a self storage unit. This also increases the amount of commercial or residential space available to the person, so they have more room for more vital or profitable items.  

2. Reducing Damage on Items 

Harsh weather conditions can make storing items in sheds, basements or non-protected areas a not-so-good option. Even in temperate climates damage is done to items not placed in a secure area. Climate controlled self-storage units allows businesses and homeowners to store their items in safe conditions, so they don't have to end up replacing items they are storing. Not all self storage unit are climate controlled, so make sure if you want a self storage unit with climate control to ask for one. 

3. Preventing Theft and Damage Risk 

Many storage centers offer security and insurance options that ensure the safety of your stored items. This helps out people in two different ways. For one, the owner of the property is less likely to have their goods stolen or damaged. Secondly, storing high-value items in a storage center reduces the insurance costs for the items. 

4.  Reduce Moving Costs

When it comes time to re-locate storage units can save homeowners and business owners a ton of money. You can gradually move all items to the new location instead of hiring an expensive service to do it all at once. It also allows you to scope out the new area for the best deals on real estate.
