In self storage we see no end of cars packed to the rafters making multiple trips back and forth to our storage facility in Cambridge.
We are powerless to help as by they time we think to ourselves, they could have done with a van by now, they have already made their 4th sweaty trip of the day.
We do recommend that people hire vans to move their possessions when they take our units but all too often our customers say "oh it's only a couple of trips in the car". We think to ourselves, yes but it would only be one trip in a van! In the whole history of mankind, it's never, ever been one trip in the car.
So you bite the bullet and hire the van but before you grab a copy on The Sun and practice your best wolf whistle, here are some tips which may make your life in a van that bit easier.
1. Pack the big heavy stuff near the doors - they will need to come out first
2. Negotiate with the rental company for half day or short hire period deals
3. Only fill up with the fuel you need to
4 Ask friends or family if they need a van for half a day and split the cost
5. Phone around for deals
6. We can offer 24/7 access so you don't need to restrict yourself to office hours
Hopefully the above will help you with making your transition into self storage smoother.
