When renting a space in one of Vancouver storage facilities, it’s important to understand that there is a lot more than just picking a convenient location and finding the lowest price. Not only should you research various Vancouver storage facilities /companies you will be storing your items with, but you also need to consider your specific storage needs when choosing the size/type of locker you will be renting (and if you need a locker at all) as well as other services offered by the storage facility in Vancouver, BC.
Security and safety should be your primary concern, as nothing will cause you more stress or headache than getting your items stolen or damaged.
When it comes to security, simply placing a padlock on your storage locker is not a guarantee that the contents will be safe. Although using a good quality padlock is a smart decision, the chance of having your locker broken into will depend on the overall security precautions taken by your Vancouver storage facility.
In addition to an adequate security system with a combination of security cameras and alarms, the storage’s surveillance cameras should be recording all input into a DVR that is indexed by time/date, and that allows video to be played back at least 2-3 months into the past.
The other concern most clients have is climate / temperature control, as there are usually some items that must be stored within a specific temperature range in order to avoid damage. Many storage facilities in Vancouver, BC are in fact not climate controlled, and the ones advertising “climate controlled” Vancouver storage often make a claim that is slightly misleading.
The final consideration is whether or not you will be hiring a Vancouver moving company to transfer your items into Vancouver storage facility or if you will be handling this task yourself.
If you’ve decided to hire professional Vancouver movers, remember that you will be paying them by the hour for their services.
