Beware of any Storage Company Chain
Storage Companies that are part of a chain tend to change their names like babies change diapers. And their rates. My10X15 began, five years ago, at under $200. Oddly, this is the same rate displayed on the NSA Storage web site today. (NSA owns several Storage Units brands) Well, each year my rent increased at random times. I came to dread getting mail from them. But generally they were asking 10% to 20% more. Not a huge deal. But last week my rate soared from under $300 to just under $400! Why so much for an established renter when a new customer can rent for much less? I highly recommend you don't rent with any chain. It may take some work, but find a Storage Unit company that has one location, where the actual owner is accessible. I just rented a replacement unit for $210 instead of $392.24. From a nearly new facility, climate controlled, enclosed loading area, and bathroom as well. The rate is guaranteed for a year, and is also guaranteed to increase no more than 5% each year. And no commitment. So, there are facilities out there that won't distress you, and do not look to take advantage. As I suggested, beware of any that boast to be chains.
