Choose the Right Size
Before you rent a storage unit, assess what items you need to store. Drive-up units come in various sizes, from small units that can fit a few boxes and smaller pieces of furniture to large units that can accommodate vehicles or extensive business inventory. By estimating how much space your items will need, you can avoid paying for unused space or finding out too late that you don’t have enough room.
