More than price: why you shouldn’t rent the cheapest storage unit

You’re interested in renting a storage unit, but you’re not sure how much you should be paying? Although price is a highly important factor to consider when choosing a unit, being confident that your belongings are safe and easily accessible is often more important. When it comes to storage units, a lower price often means less inclusions. Consider additional fees, what starts out as a competitive price might not include other costs or fee increases after the first month. 

With storage units in Mandurah available at a wide range of prices, you’re going to want to look for something in the middle that’s both affordable and offers good conditions and inclusions. Here at Go 2 Storage, we’ve put together a guide of some of the factors impacting price and why the cheapest storage unit isn’t always the best option.

Location

Storage unit price is often heavily influenced by location, with costs changing based on how close the facility is to a main city. With convenience often being a top priority, most people aim for proximity to their homes or place of business, as well as good parking options. However, these prime locations come with a higher price tag, meaning your cheaper storage unit might not be in the best spot. Go 2 Storage in Mandurah is a great option for self-storage, easily accessible and conveniently located in central Mandurah.

Security

Level of security is another important factor to consider when choosing a self-storage facility, as it can greatly impact pricing. Storage units without security measures like CCTV are often priced lower but, are more prone to break ins and other incidents. Here at Go 2 Storage, we use a combination of alarms, security fencing, electronic access-controlled gates, security lighting and CCTV to prevent these issues.

Accessibility

Like location, the accessibility of a storage facility can influence price. Factors like unlimited access hours, lifts and premium parking can all fall under “additional costs” that are lumped on top of the base quote, resulting in a higher price than you originally thought you’d have to pay. At Go 2 Storage, we offer services like a complimentary move-in truck or trailer and unlimited access to your belongings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (including public holidays).
