Saving Money On St-Hubert Self Storage

If you are trying to save money while putting some of your extra things in a self service storage facility, you have several options available to you. You can try to save money on your move-in costs, or you can save money in the long-term by paying ahead or renting a slightly cheaper unit. You can also save money on boxes and other packing materials that you will need in order to store your things.

Save On The Front End

In order to save money on the front end when you are just moving in to a cargo space unit, you should first of all check for specials at your St-Hubert self storage facility. To do this, get online and find the facilities closest to your home. Often, these facilities will list their specials online, but if not, you will be able to find a phone number to call the manager and ask what the specials are right now.
 
Most store house units will run specials on the first month, two months, or six months that you rent a unit. Some will run specials in which they charge no administrative fee or give you a free lock, both of which are good ways to save money early in the storing process. You should also ask if the facility has specials just for seniors, students, or soldiers, as many will.

One thing to be aware of, though, is that many specials are only on certain unit sizes. If a St-Hubert self storage facility has a lot of available units in a particular size, they may run a one-size-only special. Make sure the special you are checking out is running on the size of unit you want. Also, compare specials and regular prices for several facilities to be sure you really are getting the best deal.

Save In The Long Run

To save at a self service storage facility in the long run, check out what a unit will cost you over a period of six months or a year. Sometimes a monthly special will save you 20CAD for one month, but if you are going to rent a unit for six months or more, you may save more money by going for a low priced unit.
 
Also, check with the store manager to see if there is a special in which you can pay for a block of months and get a discount. These specials are often less advertised, but many St-Hubert self service storage give you a month or half a month free if you pay for a year in advance. If you do not have the cash to pay for a full year, you may be able to get a good deal just by paying for six months at one go.

Save On Supplies

When it comes to packing supplies, recycled is always better. This way, you are not only helping out the environment by creating less waste, but you are also saving some serious cash. Many store house facilities will also sell packing supplies, but you may want to check around with friends, family, neighbors, and even your local grocery stores to see if you can get free boxes instead. Also, you can use old newspapers to pack your valuables with instead of buying blank newsprint from the store. The ink might rub off on your glasses a little bit, but it is easily cleaned up.
