A <\/span><b>storage unit that is closer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saves you time and transportation costs. However, if you&rsquo;re primarily storing items you won&rsquo;t need to access frequently, you can choose a more affordable unit in a distant location.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be dozens of 10&rsquo;x15&prime; storage units available, but they all have different prices. This could be due to location, storage duration, and amenities.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compare prices among different storage facilities and <\/span><b>consider the rental agreement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Be mindful of hidden fees, such as administrative charges or insurance requirements. Ask about any discounts for long-term rentals or promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-accessibility\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each facility has different rules; some are open 24\/7, while others restrict access hours. Check the facility&rsquo;s hours of operation to ensure they align with your schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, think about how often you will need to access your storage unit. <\/span><b>10&rsquo;x15&prime; storage units <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">located on the ground floor or those units with drive-up access are more convenient for frequent visits.

However, if the items you plan to store don&rsquo;t require a controlled environment, you could choose a non-climate-controlled unit to save on costs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-security-and-safety\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Security and Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security is crucial when selecting a storage unit to help protect your belongings from theft or damage. However, security levels vary from one provider to another, so ensure the facility meets your minimum security and safety standards. For instance, it should have CCTV cameras and fire safety equipment such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the facility is located in a high-crime area, added security measures, such as a fence and\/or in-person surveillance personnel, should be available.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-the-condition-of-the-facility\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6: The Condition of the Facility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The condition of the storage unit is another factor to consider. For example, the risk of pest invasion is heightened if overgrown grasses and bushes surround the unit. Also, if the storage facilities appear well-maintained, you may still need to inspect for cracks and other structural defects that let in moisture or provide hiding spaces for pests.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"in-summary\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right storage unit size is important as you don&rsquo;t want to pay for more space than you need. Whether you choose a 10&rsquo;x10&rsquo; storage unit or a 10&rsquo;x15&rsquo;, mapping out the desired layout of your storage unit ahead of time will help you maximize space (not to mention, make it easier to locate your items during retrieval.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that your items won&rsquo;t fit into a 10&rsquo;x15&prime; unit, and you need enough space, consider larger storage unit sizes like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/10x20-storage-unit-ultimate-guide-10x20-storage-unit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10&prime; x 20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&lsquo;, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/10x30-storage-unit-ultimate-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10&prime; x 30&prime;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/10x40-storage-unit-complete-guide-10x40-storage-unit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10&rsquo;x40&rsquo;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to consider purchasing a storage insurance policy to provide added protection for your belongings in case of damage or theft.
