Choosing the right self-storage facility is an important decision. Self storage does not have to be complicated, but you want to spend a little time looking at options to decide if the storage facility suits your needs.
Determine what items you'll be storing. Some items, like antiques, collectibles, electronics, musical instruments, photos, and important documents, may require a climate-controlled storage unit to protect them from moisture and temperature fluctuations. Ensure the facility offers the right type of storage for your items.
At Elite Self Storage, we have a range of storage options. Climate controlled storage lockers so you can rest assured that your items will be well taken care of. Drive-up unheated storage, which is a cheaper storage solution. These unheated storage units have drive-up access, making loading and unloading a breeze. We also offer RV Storage and indoor car storage for your extra toys.
Make an inventory of the items you plan to store and measure their sizes. This will help you choose the appropriate storage unit size. Many facilities offer a variety of unit sizes to accommodate different needs.
If you are uncertain as to what size of storage unit you will need, a quick call to the storage facility or a site tour can help assist with your decision making. At Elite Self Storage, we have storage units of various sizes and our unit size guide can also help you choose the right size of storage unit.
Ensure the facility has adequate security measures, such as surveillance cameras, access control, and well-lit areas. It's important to feel confident that your belongings are safe.
If accessibility is important for you, look for a storage facility that gives you access to your belongings when needed. Some facilities offer 24-hour access, while others may only have access during business hours or specific times.
The location of your storage facility in Edmonton or St. Albert is also essential. You don’t want or need to be driving all over the city if there is a great storage facility in your neighborhood. Keep your money in your pocket by saving time and gas.

Compare prices among different storage facilities, but be sure to compare similar features and unit sizes. Watch out for hidden fees and understand the terms of the rental agreement. Beware of weekly rates, as they may not be the same as monthly rates.
You might think you are getting a great deal and find that the less expensive unit is not exactly what you were expecting. Beware of storage facilities that offer 4 week rates as these are not the same as monthly rates. The rate may look cheaper, but it is not.

Those unwanted creatures can cause damage to your items and be a worry for keeping your items safe. Check with the self storage facility regarding their policies about pest control procedures. A good self storage company will work with a pest control company for regular visits.
Choose a self storage facility that has spotless floors, dusted common areas, a well organized office space and well groomed outdoor spaces. This will assure you that you will be taken care of and that the storage facility cares about you and your stored items.
