Security Measures


Ensure the facility has robust security features such as gated access, 24-hour CCTV surveillance, and heavy-duty locks. At Cuboid Self Storage, all our sites are gated with continuous CCTV coverage for your peace of mind.


Cleanliness and Maintenance


Visit the facility to check for cleanliness and proper maintenance. A well-kept environment indicates that your belongings will be stored in good condition.

 

Flexible Contracts


Look for storage providers that offer flexible terms, allowing you to choose short- or long-term contracts based on your needs. Cuboid Self Storage provides both options to suit your requirements.


Access Hours


Consider facilities that offer access seven days a week, so you can retrieve or store items at your convenience.


Unit Size and Specifications


Assess the size and type of storage units available. For instance, Cuboid's 20ft containers offer over 1,100 cubic feet of space, accommodating approximately 240 boxes.

Ventilation


Proper ventilation is essential to prevent moisture build-up and protect your belongings. Cuboid containers are fully ventilated to keep your items in pristine condition.


Insurance Options


Check if the facility offers insurance or if your existing policy covers stored items. This adds an extra layer of protection for your valuables.


Customer Reviews

Research customer feedback to gauge the facility's reputation. Positive testimonials reflect reliable service and customer satisfaction.


Additional Services


Some facilities offer extra services like combined office and storage solutions. Cuboid's "Business in a Box" provides combined office and storage spaces, ideal for businesses needing both.


By considering these factors, you'll be well-equipped to choose a self-storage facility that meets your needs and ensures your belongings are safe and accessible.
