More and more people are turning to self storage for their storage needs. And there has been a rapid increase in the amount of self storage facilities in the UK with the Self Storage Association UK reporting an 8.1% increase. People are using it when moving home, renovating, decluttering or for their business needs. It is an excellent solution but, at times when you don’t need extra costs, being able to save on storage would be great. 

Within this article, we will look at how you can save money when it comes to using storage. 

Is Self Storage Really Necessary?

Before we delve into our five ways to save on storage, it is important that you first ask yourself: Is self storage really necessary? 

Look at everything you want to store and see if these are items you really want or need anymore. If you find items you really don’t want or need anymore, they can be donated to a charity shop or sold, if they are in good condition. 

If, after doing this, you still have items that need storing, then you can begin looking at low cost storage options. But, not before you read our tips about how to save on storage. 

5 Ways To Save On Low Cost Storage Bedford 

It is great when you can save money in any area of your life. Within this section, we will look at five ways in which you can save money on storage. 

1. Figure Out The Unit Size You Need

One of the best ways to save money on storage is to figure what size storage unit you need. Renting a storage unit that is larger than what you need will mean that you are paying for space you do not need. 

A way in which to figure out what size storage unit you need is to gather all of the items you need to store together and measure the pile. If this isn’t possible or you still aren’t sure, speak with a member of the storage facilities team. At all professional storage facilities, the people working there should be able to guide you to the storage unit perfect for your needs. 

Our Bedford team are all highly knowledgeable about self storage so they will easily find you your ideal unit. At our Bedford store, we have units ranging from 10 sq ft to 300 sq ft so we will have a unit that meets your needs. 

2. Shop Around For Best Rates

Like all other services, self storage prices will differ in each facility. When you know what size storage unit you need, take your time looking at a variety of self storage companies. Compare the prices and ask about any deals or promotions they may have. If you don’t ask, you don’t get! 

But do not be so swayed by prices that you go for a self storage company that is not professional. What is more important than saving some money is that your belongings are kept safe and secure in professional self storage. 

3. Look For Flexible Rental Terms 

Finding self storage that has flexible rental terms is a really great way to save some money because it means you will never be stuck paying for self storage that you no longer need. 

Flexible rental terms allow you to upsize or downsize, if and when you need to. With our storage, you just need to have a chat with the team and they will help to make it happen. 

With some flexible rental agreement, like ours, you are also free to leave your storage unit if you no longer need it, even if your rental agreement hasn’t expired. When it comes to our self storage, we just need you to give us a short period of notice. 

4. Use All The Space 

When you move into your unit, make sure to use all the space, including the vertical space. Stack boxes on top of each other or add shelving to make sure you are getting the most out of every part of your storage unit. 

This being said, if you need to access items in your storage unit regularly, make sure that you leave space for you to move around and access the items you need. 

5. Regularly Review And Downsize When Possible 

Once your belongings are within your unit, make periodic checks to it and assess whether there is anything within your unit that you no longer want or need. Having items within a unit for a period of time will help you to see what you truly want and/or need. 

If you find any items that you no longer want/need, donate, sell or throw them away, depending on the condition. If you remove enough items, you may be able to downsize. Renting a smaller storage will save you money.

“I have never previously used Self Storage, but Abbie explained everything clearly on the telephone and was very transparent with costs of storage at Bedford. Abbie took the time to show me my unit ensuring I was happy with the size and condition of it and how to access it if we needed access outside of office hours which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this immaculate and professionally run Self Storage business.”
