Firstly, in your research, compare the prices and check how much does it cost to rent a unit in each company in London you consider. Our team has prepared for you the Storage Price Comparison to make your decision easier. You will find the table below.

Also, be aware that some companies have hidden charges. Make sure what is included in the price and check additional costs like deposit, insurance, lock and key, reservation fee, etc.

If you need boxes to pack your belongings, also check if the company provides it for the clients.

Secondly, you need to consider the location of the company. People from London know exactly how traffic jams and distance between places can be overwhelming and problematic. Now, think about how you are going to travel to your renting unit. If you own a car, that won’t be a big problem, but if you use public transport, the closer the renting unit, the better for you. Be aware that companies situated close to central London, have higher prices. Decide if you prefer to pay more for the location. If not, rent a unit in the suburbs. Sometimes it won’t be necessary for you to check your renting unit very often. For example, if you store the old furniture, old documents, etc, you don’t need daily access to the unit.

Next, choose from the various types of the unit. You can rent an indoor, an outdoor, a student, business storage, and many more. What are the differences between those types of premises?

The indoor unit is perfect to store furniture, books, clothes, electronics. Outdoor storage is used to store vehicles and boats.

For this type of belongings that needs controlled temperature, you can also rent a climate-controlled unit. What does it mean? It means that both temperature and humidity control the moisture in the unit using HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning).

If you are a student, feel free to rent extra space for your student’s belongings. Students’ life is great, isn’t it? We all know that. But we would like to make your life even better and easier. The facilities for students are cheap and very affordable. When you plan to go home for holidays but you don’t want to pay for renting an apartment, you can pack the boxes and rent a unit in the Self-Storage company. Your belongings will be there until you return to London from your holidays.
