Finding Storage Units In Your Local Area

By Anthony Hall


Many people will have items in their home that will need storing away due to a house move or because they have insufficient space. If you are moving from a large house into a smaller one or you are emptying a garage you may decide to rent a locker. When you are looking for Storage Units in your neighborhood there a couple of things you should be aware of.

Companies that provide storage will have hundreds or thousands of individual lockers within a large building. Various sizes of lock up can be rented and you can select one that best suits your requirements. The price of a unit is dictated by its size and how long you need to rent it for. Long term rentals are available and you may sometimes get a discount for lengthy rentals.

There are firms in Rapid City, SD that will rent you a unit to store your belongings in. Their phone number will be listed in the local directory and you will find adverts in local papers and on leaflets and posters around town. Browsing the web can help you locate a company and there is some useful information to be found online which may be helpful.

After locating a company that can provide a suitable locker you will need to visit the offices and complete some documentation. You will have to sign an agreement for the term of the rental which can be tailored to suit. You can then pay the necessary fees and collect the key before putting your items into the locker.

Before you put your items into the locker you should package everything securely in the appropriate crates or boxes. Most of the companies will provide packaging material for an extra fee if you do not have your own. It is useful to label the boxes with the contents which will help you when you go to retrieve an item.

There are a few basic rules you should follow if you intend to put your personal items into a locked unit away from home. Do not keep very valuable pieces in a lock up due to their value, and keep them locked up at home, or in a bank vault. The firms that rent out the unit will be insured but this may have a limit and you should check this with them.

When you are leaving items in a locker for many months or years it is advisable to call in now and again to check things are ok. Most companies will have CCTV and will notify you if there is a problem. If you go along and there is a problem with your locker you can speak to the company and rectify the problems.

Unless you have paid up front it is essential that you do not miss a rental payment for your locker. The contract that you sign will have a clause which allows the firm to take possession of your items and sell them to recover their money if you do not pay. It is advisable to make a note, or keep a record on your computer of these payment dates, to prevent your account going into arrears.
