Self-Storage allows you to be in control. When you need extra space you can rent your own private space and put your own lock on the door allowing you to be in control of your belongings. You can come and go as you like within business hours and there are no additional fees beyond a one-time administration fee. When you choose a regular storage company, you relinquish your control to them. Your belongings are stored within a warehouse and you make an appointment if you need to access them.
