Before you rent: 5 questions to ask any storage company

Before you hand over your stuff (and your money), ask these five questions.

1. How secure is the site?

You’re trusting them with your belongings. Security should be the first thing you check.
Ask about:

At blue self storage, our sites are fully fenced, floodlit and monitored around the clock. You can rest easy knowing your stuff is safe.

2. What’s included in the price?

Some companies love a surprise fee. Always check for add-ons like insurance, admin, or padlock charges.

Ask for a clear breakdown so you know what you’re paying for.

We believe in total honesty. The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden extras, no small print headaches.

3. When can I access my unit?

You don’t want to be stuck waiting for someone to unlock a gate.

Ask if you can access your unit anytime, or if there are limited opening hours.

blue self storage offers flexible access hours that fit your schedule, not the other way around.

4. What size unit do I actually need?

It’s easy to overestimate and pay for space you don’t use.

Ask for help choosing the right size. A good storage team will walk you through your options instead of upselling you.

Whether you’re storing boxes, furniture or the entire contents of your house, we’re on hand to give you a hand.

5. What’s the contract like?

Long-term tie-ins can be a pain.

Ask if you can rent monthly, cancel easily, and change your unit size if your needs change.

We keep things flexible and simple. Stay for as long as you need, leave when you’re ready. No drama.
