The key to self storage is choosing the right storage facility. Self storage does not have to be complicated, but you want to spend a little time looking at options to decide if the storage facility suites your needs.
Certain household items require climate controlled storage units which keep temperatures within certain parameters preventing mold, mildew and other damages due to moisture. Antiques, collectibles, electronics, musical instruments, photos and papers should all be stored in a climate-controlled storage unit.
At Elite Self Storage in Edmonton, we have a range of storage options. Climate controlled storage lockers so you can rest assured that your items will be well taken care of. These indoor storage units feature a drive-in loading bay to keep you warm and dry. Drive-up unheated storage which is a cheaper storage solution. These unheated storage units have drive-up access making loading and unloading a breeze. We also offer RV Storage and indoor car storage for all of your extra toys.
Making an inventory of the items you are going to store will provide you with an idea of what size of storage unit you will need. Take the time to measure your furniture, mattresses, box sizes and items.
If you are uncertain as to what size of storage unit you will need, a quick call to the storage facility or a site tour can help assist with your decision making. At Elite Self Storage, we have storage units of various sizes and our unit size guide can also help assist you in choosing the right size of storage unit.
Take time to check the storage facility's security features. If accessibility is important for you, look for a storage facility that gives you access to your belongings when you need it. Some facilities offer 24 hour access while others may only have access during business hours or specific times. Storage facilities that are well lit will provide comfort during after hours visits.
The location of your storage facility in Edmonton is important as well. You don’t want or need to be driving all over the city if there is a great storage facility in your neighbourhood. Keep your money in your pocket by saving time and gas.

Prices for self storage units can vary from one storage facility to another. Ensure that you are comparing apples to apples. Check to see that the storage units you are comparing are the same size, the same type IE: climate controlled units, similar operational hours etc.
You might think you are getting a great deal and find that the less expensive unit is not exactly what you were expecting. Ask about any admin fees or security deposits that may be charged. Beware of storage facilities that offer 4 week rates as these are not the same as monthly rates. The rate may look cheaper but it is not.
From the first contact at the storage facility, a GREAT customer service team will provide friendly and helpful service. It is imperative that you feel comfortable and confident that you will be taken care of. Having a customer service team that is knowledgeable about the facility will provide you with answers to your questions, either on the phone or while you tour the property.
At Elite Self Storage, we treat all of our customers like we like to be treated!
Does the storage facility have great reviews? Checking online for facility reviews will provide insight into how the storage facility is doing. If there are no reviews, do not shy away, a quick call to the storage facility will provide answers. Perhaps they have just opened, and no reviews have been provided.

Those unwanted creatures can cause damage to your items and be a worry for keeping your items safe. Check with the self storage facility regarding their policies about pest control procedures. A good self storage company will work with a pest control company for regular visits.
Choose a self storage facility that has spotless floors, dusted common areas, a well organized office space and well groomed outdoor spaces. This will assure you that you will be taken care of and that the storage facility cares about you and your stored items.
Check with your homeowners’ insurance policy to see if your belongings are covered under your current policy. You may find that some facilities require your belongings to be insured. If your policy does not cover your stored items, you may be able to purchase insurance from your preferred company.
