If your new home is not quite ready and you need to store your belongings for a period of time, there are different options for you. Some companies will offer to pick up your belongings at your current location, then bring it to your new home only when it is ready. They will charge you storage costs on a monthly basis until they deliver your belongings to your new residence. The benefit of this solution is that most of these companies will charge you for a single move. If you decide to rent a self-storage unit, you may have to pay to get your belongings there, then hire movers again to bring it to your new home.

There are many things to consider in the selection of a storage unit, including:

1. Size: do you need a large storage unit or only to store a specific item?
2. Temperature control: will your items get damaged due to high or low temperatures?
3. Location: does it need to be close to your home?
4. Access: do you need 24h access? Most storage units don’t have 24h access.
5. Frequency: how often will you visit the unit?
6. Security: are your items so valuable they need to be watched 24/7?
7. Insurance: do you need insurance for your items?

If you have a home insurance policy, you are likely to be insured for your belongings kept in a storage unit. This said, the insurance might only cover your belongings in the storage unit for 90 days, after which you would need a separate insurance. Insurance for storage units can usually be purchased with the company itself. 

Having access to your belongings always will depend on the storage unit company. Some self-storage units have 24/7 access, while others have late business hours.

Items prohibited in a storage unit usually include: 

• Anything inflammable or explosive
• Firearms, weapons, or ammunition
• Perishable food
• Plants
• Animals of any kind
