At Moovebox, we take care of making an inventory of your items in order to offer you a storage space that is adapted to your needs.
If you need to access your items on a regular basis or not, the right storage unit for your needs may vary. If you need to access them regularly, a storage facility that is close to your home and arranged for easy access is important.
If you don't need regular access, in the case of a move for example, or for very long term storage as part of a trip abroad, it may not be necessary to choose a 24 hour storage facility.
It is essential to check the healthiness of the premises in which you will store your belongings. A dry environment, protected from humidity, is necessary to avoid damaging your goods. Prefer isolated premises and avoid containers in the middle of empty lots.
The premises must also be secured, with alarm devices, video surveillance and security guards, so that you can be sure that your belongings are not stolen.
