You may be all packed up and ready to make your big move, knowing full well that you will have to take some of your things to a storage unit, but do you know what your storage unit options are? Hopefully you will have taken the time to investigate your options beforehand, because if you didn’t, you may be in for a rude awakening.

Many people make this mistake when they move. They get so caught up in the move that they just don’t think to look at their storage unit options before they go. This can leave them with the dreaded scenario of taking only what it available, which can be less than desirable, or even worse, getting stuck with nothing at all.

With the advent of the internet, there is simply no reason not to find out what all your self storage unit options are before you move. You can search the area you are planning on moving to and find some self storage unit facilities that are close by. Many will have websites, but they will all have phone numbers, so at the very least you can call and get some prices and check on availability.

Once you find what you like, you can make the necessary arrangements to secure a self storage unit either over the phone, or online. This usually requires little more than a credit or debit card number and a confirmation of your first month’s rent payment.

After you secure your self storage unit at a self storage facility near where you will be living, you can get back to the move. With at least your self storage needs taken care of, you will have that much less to stress out about, though you are bound to find something quickly to fill the stress void.
