Portable Storage Unit Costs

Portable storage is an extremely cost effective, versatile and flexible way to store your goods. Customers may come across unexpected costs and pitfalls, if they’re attracted to cut price storage space when obtaining quotes. Some storage companies may offer their cheapest unit at a bargain basement price, and modern, sympathetic staging and lighting make these units appear cavernous when in reality, they are small, and almost never have the capacity for your needs. It is therefore crucial that you know how much storage you need before you can obtain weekly storage unit costs, and therefore, value.

Some advice to working out weekly Portable storage costs and value:

• When obtaining a quote for Portable storage, customers should ask for the height, width and length of a storage unit in metres (be aware of companies who aren’t able to provide these dimensions).
• A unit with a height of 2.8 metres, a width of 2.3 metres and a length of 2.0 metres will have a capacity of 18.67 cubic metres (a multiplication of height, width and length in metres, gives a cubic metre capacity).
• Then customers should divide the weekly storage rate by the cubic metre capacity per week, which will give the cost per cubic metre per week. For example $34.95 / 18.67 cubic metres = $1.87 per cubic metre of storage per week.
