What is a storage facility?
A storage facility is a company that rents space for the storage of personal and business belongings. It has warehouses of different sizes where customers can store their belongings for as long as they need them.
Renting a storage facility is a convenient and affordable solution because you only pay for the period of time you use the storage facility. The price includes taxes, security of the premises, security systems, maintenance and other services. All you have to do is choose a storage facility, sign the contract and bring your items.
Who chooses to rent a warehouse?
More and more people are choosing to store their belongings in a storage facility. Private individuals are the most frequent users of storage rental services in Lithuania. They store items that have no space at home: seasonal items, festive decorations, hobbies and leisure items, unused equipment, furniture, etc. Storage rental services are also popular for home renovation, relocation and traveling.
Storage is an affordable solution for students. Often, young people coming to study do not have enough money to rent a large apartment, so they look for a cheap solution to store things that do not fit in a dormitory room. A storage unit is a convenient way to store school supplies, bicycles, scooters and other items brought back from your hometown.
Companies and e-commerce businesses in Lithuania have also taken a liking to storage rental services. Businesses store office supplies and inventories, unused equipment and documents. Online shops can store goods in a warehouse and save money.
Everyone can choose a storage facility, no matter what and how many items you want to store. This solution makes it easier for you to move house, travel, grow your business and other plans.
How does the storage facility work?
Self-storage facilities in Lithuania work on the same principle as those abroad. The company providing this service provides security and maintenance of the premises, convenient access to the stored assets and other benefits that come with the rental price.
Once you have found the right storage facility, you need to choose a storage unit, sign a rental contract, insure your property and bring it in. You can visit, pick up or bring new items during visiting hours. Unlike renting a garage or private warehouse, you cannot arrive at any time of the day. However, many storage facilities offer convenient opening hours and provide security and other additional services that you wouldn’t get if you rented a separate facility.
Only you have access to your storage unit and no one else, including the storage facility’s staff, has access to your belongings. The storage facilities are monitored by CCTV cameras and security guards on duty. Even if you are away for a few months or unable to visit your property, you will be assured of its safety.
If you decide that you no longer need the services of the storage facility, you can cancel your contract and collect your belongings. The right service provider should provide flexible contract terms so that you can manage your assets according to your needs.
Why is self storage a better choice than long-term renting?
In Lithuania, it has long been common practice to buy or rent a separate garage or storeroom for long-term storage of unused items. However, this type of rental is not always convenient and practical.
When you rent a storage room in a warehouse, you are free to end the contract at any time. You don’t have to plan and think about how long you will need the rental services. Long-term rentals are usually rented for at least a year. You have to pay at least one month’s rent deposit and pay for the premises even if you do not use them.
In a storage facility, the service provider takes care of everything for you. You don’t have to maintain the premises or worry about climate control, alarms and CCTV cameras. When you store your items in a private warehouse or garage, you can’t be assured of the security of your items without additional and often expensive measures.
Renting a storage room gives you a choice of different sizes, so you only pay for the space you actually use. If you want to expand or reduce your space, you can always change your contract and rent a storage unit that suits your needs in the same warehouse. You cannot do this when renting private space. Long-term rentals usually have a limited choice of space, so you pay for space you don’t even use.
