Two Reasons Why Drive-up Self-Storage Units Are So Popular
Here are two reasons why drive-up self-storage units are so popular.
They make the process of removing or putting lots of items into the storage unit less physically tiring
One reason for the popularity of these storage units is that many people find the experience of removing things from them or putting lots of items into them much less physically exhausting than when they do this with standard storage units. The reason for this is if a person rents a traditional storage unit that is housed inside a building, and they need to put a large number of items into it, they'll first need to unload these items from their vehicle onto one of the facility's large hand trolleys before pushing this trolley into the building until they find their unit and unload the items into it. If all of their items won't fit on one of these trolleys, they may need to repeat this trek several times. This could be extremely tiring.
In contrast, if a person rents a drive-up storage unit, they can park their vehicle right outside it and can load items directly from their vehicle into the unit without having to first put these things on a trolley and take them to another location on the premises. The process is just as easy when they wish to collect items from their unit. As such, for those who don't want their trips to their unit to tire them out, these drive-up storage units are ideal.
Those who rent these units can access or put items into their units very quickly
Another reason people like drive-up storage units is that they can access their stored items faster than if they kept them in a standard storage unit. If a person rents the latter, they usually need to drive to the storage facility and spend at least a few minutes parking their vehicle, after which they need to walk into the facility itself and go to the area in it where their unit is located. They then need to walk back out and return to their vehicle. Even if a person is just dropping off or collecting one small item, they could still end up spending, for example, 20 minutes at the facility.
For people who have plenty of free time, this might not be an issue. However, for those who are busy and need to drop something off at their unit quickly, a drive-up unit is more suitable as their trips to it won't involve having to spend time finding a parking space or walking to their unit. Instead, they can quickly drive up to and park directly outside their unit, spend just a couple of minutes stowing their item inside the unit and locking it up again before getting on with the rest of their day.
Keep these tips in mind when looking for a drive-up self-storage facility near you.
