There are many reasons why you should consider signing up for a long-term storage unit. You may need it while moving abroad for a couple of years, or maybe you need more storage space to keep personal/business belongings long-term. Whatever your needs, here are some tips when deciding between your long-term self-storage options!

1. Unlimited access at any time is more important than you think

Imagine being locked out of your own self-storage facility and not being able to access your items just because it’s the wee hours of the morning? No matter your reason, you should be able to access your unit anytime you need to!

Travellers need to move in different time zones. Businesses may stretch their office hours. Your self-storage solution should cater to your needs round the clock. If you feel that you need long-term storage in a facility that is available at your convenience, we recommend you choose the facility somewhere with 24/7 access.   

2. Climate-controlled environment

What kind of belongings would you store in your unit? Are they climate-sensitive items such as luxury furniture or electronic devices? If yes, you might need to consider a climate-controlled storage unit. And even if the belongings are not so sensitive to the temperature, such as books, photos and clothing, opting for a dehumidified environment is better in the long term.

Typical storage units may be cheaper. However, are you willing to sacrifice your precious items and risk long-term damage in a humid storage unit? Consider a climate-controlled option for peace of mind.

3. Safety & Security

Safety is definitely one of the key reasons why you might consider self-storage. We all agree that an indoor self-storage unit is safer than outdoor container boxes. But be sure to check for all these features before you sign-up with a storage facility.  

1) CCTV Monitored 24 hrs

2) Access is restricted to authorised personnel only (Current customer)

3) Unit doors are secured with locks

Bonus tip: Take advantage of ongoing promotions and discounts. This shouldn’t be hard to find, especially if you’re planning to be long-term customers. Check out the recurring promotions by Extra Space, and call us at 1899-8708 today to find out more.

We all look for storage space when relocating or storing things for various reasons. While self-storage is convenient, easy to access and cleaner than using warehouse space, we understand that you might be concerned about the cost as self-storage rates are usually not fixed and priced based on your needs. In this article, we’ll share the average cost for self-storage units and how self-storage can be a reasonable choice for you.

1. Cost varies depending on the size of the unit

It makes sense that the price for a storage unit depends on the size of the space. If you’re looking for small units such as a locker, you can find some that start from approximately $50. If you’re keen on bigger size spaces, there will be incremental charges as we scale in the size of the storage space. With Extra Space, you’ll able to choose units ranging from 1.5 to 40 square metres, giving you the flexibility of choices. Compare storage prices instantly here!

2. Cost varies depending on the Promotions

Some self-storage companies such as Extra Space are offering monthly price promotions across different facilities. Therefore, even if you enquire about the same size as the unit, the cost may become different. For example, the Apujoeng facility is giving 20% off for Large size units, while the Banpo facility is giving 50% off for the same size of the unit during that period. Consider the locations and price before you make your decision! Check out all our current promotions at a glance here.

3. Is self-storage cost-effective?

YES! Convenience aside, you can see how much you can save with the on-going promotions. Plus, you also have the flexibility to pay only for the exact duration you need. Extra Space offers a flexible storage period from as short as 2 weeks to as long as required. On top of this, all of our storage facilities are 24/7 air-conditioned and dehumidified, keeping your storage unit conditions optimal all-day long. Call us today at 1899-8708 to find out more!

Ever wondered how you can maximise storage space in your storage unit? Good news: we have tips for you. With some strategic planning, you can now enjoy more savings by choosing the right storage size! Let’s jump right in:

1. Storage Space Planning – Vertical vs Horizontal

If you fill up your storage unit without a plan, you’ll end up wasting valuable space. To stretch the usable space in your storage, remember to consider both horizontal and vertical aspects of the area.

Start by placing the heaviest items at the bottom of your unit. Like building a foundation, this will start you off with a solid base to work upwards with lighter and more fragile items.

2. Ensure Accessibility to Commonly Used Belongings

Are there any items that you need to access regularly? If yes, do please place them right in front of your storage unit. This tip will save you from the tiring hassle of moving items around in the unit, only to repack once you’re done. Imagine going through this routine every time you visit your storage unit. Oh, what a nightmare!

3. Create Walkway Your Storage

Maximising space usage also means thinking of ways to optimise movement and mobility within your storage unit. After all, being able to access your belongings is as important and storing them properly. So remember: During space planning, cater a little space for walkways. This will make accessing your items that much more convenient!

4. Fill Up Gaps in Your Storage

Still need more space? Time to get creative. Analyse the overall area in your storage unit. Look high and low for gaps of unused space. Can any of your items fill that space? Good. Now, fill it up. Think like you would when you’re playing Tetris – it’s not about how much space you have, it’s how you use it!
