Self-storage has been around in Asia for almost 20 years, and yet, there are still many misconceptions about it. One of the few myths is that people only rent self-storage space to store their business inventories. But this is not the case as you will read below. Here are some common myths about renting a self-storage space and the truth behind them.<\/p>\n

Storage rental is only for business owners<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One recurring myth about self-storage is that it is used for business only. But in reality, more people use self-storage to store personal belongings<\/a> as compared to businesses! From storing seasonal holiday decorations or unused household items to vintage toy and personal wine collection<\/a>, \u2018non-business\u2019 storage owners use self-storage space for a myriad of personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Only large storage spaces are available for rental<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So untrue! At Extra Space Asia, customers can select from a wide range of storage sizes, from as small as 10 square feet to as large as over 400 square feet. Furthermore, there are a variety of storage types<\/a> to fit just about your every need.<\/p>\n

Spaces are only available for long-term storage rental<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not everyone will require long-term storage, especially if you are storing your personal belongings. Self-storage companies usually offer flexible storage rental period, from as short as 14 days to as long as you require.<\/p>\n

Self-storage facilities are dirty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another perception most people have about self-storage is that its facet is similar to an industrial warehouse. While \u2018dirty\u2019 self-storage facilities are rare in Singapore due to the strict rules and regulations, a professional self-storage company should come equipped with modern features and presentable storage units.<\/p>\n

The key thing to remember is to visit the storage facility first before you make your choice. If you are unsure what to look out for, check out these 4 Useful Tips When Choosing Your Self-Storage Provider in Singapore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Renting a storage space is expensive<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most popular myth is that it is cost-intensive to rent a self-storage space. But did you know? Most self-storage space rentals are affordable, with the cost starting from as low as $50 per month.<\/p>\n

However, the storage rates differ due to storage size, duration, location and ongoing promotions. To find out about what contributes to a storage space rental rate, find out more about the Cost of Renting a Self-Storage Space in Singapore<\/a>.<\/p>\n
