  Over the past few years, the storage industry has seen exponential growth in popularity. Whether it be due to economic reasons, or the fact that more people have started realising the several benefits that storage facilities can offer, the demand for these storage units has increased tenfold. The fact of the matter is that these units can be used for a range of applications. No matter what you need to store, you will find a storage company that will be able to offer you a suitable solution, as long as you opt for the right facility.

  It is no surprise that there are several different companies with storage units in Cape Town. While this can be deemed as beneficial because there is a wider selection to choose from, it can actually make the process of choosing a reliable company all the more difficult. With such a large selection, how will you know who can offer you the most value? Who will be best suited? And who has the best facility?

  Well, you need to do your research, of course! You should get a handful of prospects together and compare them to one another. A few considerations you can take into account are the facilities they have on offer, the value they can offer you, the security measures they have in place to keep your goods secure, as well as the monthly costs you will incur.

  Now that you have an idea of how to go about looking for a reliable storage company, let us discuss the several different people that can benefit from having a storage unit.

  Homeowners:

  Out of all the people that opt for storage rental, homeowners are the biggest percentage. Whether it is to declutter their home, store their collectibles, or store holiday decorations and equipment they do not need on a regular basis, they certainly make the most of their storage unit. In some cases, where people like to “chase summer” and move to another country for 6 months of the year, these units would also prove highly beneficial.

  Business owners:

  Business owners can also benefit from storage units, as they can use it as a cost-effective place to store their excess stock. Some companies even go so far as to store their important documents at undisclosed storage companies, where the wrong people cannot get hold of their confidential information.

  Students:

  In cases where students study at universities that are in a different province, town, or country to where they live, they will rent storage units to store their belongings for the holidays, when they go home. Rather than lugging all their furniture and belongings back home with them, it makes more sense for them to store it in a nearby storage unit.

  People that have retired:

  While this group will technically form part of ‘homeowners’, they can also benefit from renting storage units, as they can store their extra furniture, appliances, and clothing when they downsize into a smaller home, rather than selling it.
