The Cinch Self Storage price match promise is a commitment to match any genuine like-for-like quote from another local facility and give you an extra 10% off for your first 8 weeks as an added bonus! If you find a similar unit, on similar terms, from a nearby provider at a lower price, we will match that quote so that you don’t have to compromise and can choose to store with us. Just present the quote to us before you move in.

Daniel, from our Chippenham store, explains it best:

“With the price match promise, we will match any price offered by a local like-for-like facility. One of the things we like to say is that we can take the price out of the equation for a customer. Some people are looking for the cheapest solution which isn’t always the best solution. So, by price matching, we take out the price so that a customer can just choose the site that works best for them. This has helped a lot of people in the past.”

As Daniel says, the price promise takes price out of the equation and allows you to focus on finding the best storage solution for your specific needs. For example, many customers want to choose us because of better security, better access hours and, as the Chippenham team found, better locations:

“We’ve had people that are local to Chippenham and they were looking at storing further afield. But, then we explained to them that we can price match so, if they would prefer their storage to be Chippenham, we can do that. We can take the price out of the equation and you can choose what works for you.”

What Does Like-for-Like Actually Mean?

Like-for-like means that the quote you bring us to price match is for storage that is genuinely comparable to the Cinch Self Storage unit you are considering, judged on the factors that determine a fair price.

Several factors go into whether two quotes are truly equivalent:

• Unit size, measured in a consistent way rather than by rounded-up or misleading figures
• Location and proximity, since a facility within the same area is a fair comparison while one on the other side of the region may not be
• Length of stay in the unit
• Security standards, including monitored CCTV, controlled access and alarmed units
• Contract terms, such as minimum periods, notice requirements and access hours
• Condition and maintenance, meaning clean, dry, well-kept units rather than neglected ones

When all of these line up, you have a genuine like-for-like comparison, and that is what the Cinch Self Storage price promise is built to match. If you’re not sure whether another quote is like-for-like, give your chosen Cinch Self Storage store a call anyway so they can check – we want to find a way to make you a Cinch Self Storage customer because we know you’ll love what we have to offer.

What You Should Look Out for in Price Match Promises From Other Providers

You should look out for the conditions attached to other price matches offered by others, because the promise is only as good as the terms that sit underneath it. Many providers advertise a price-match and then narrow it so far with exclusions that it rarely pays out in practice. Reading those conditions is the single most useful thing you can do.

When you compare providers, it is worth asking a few direct questions before you trust any price match promise:

• How is the comparison area defined, and does it cover the facilities near me?
• How is a comparable unit decided, and who makes that judgement?
• Are promotional and introductory rates included, or only standard prices?
• Will matching the price introduce any new charges elsewhere?

Clear answers to those questions tell you whether a price-match is likely to work or not. It is also worth remembering that some providers offer no price match at all.
