Nationwide Storage Options: Choosing The Right One For Your Move

One of the most common challenges during a move is what to do with your belongings when the moving dates don’t align. Whether you’re taking a new job, downsizing, upsizing, or just needing some temporary storage for of your possessions, a professional moving company should offer nationwide storage options to suit your storage needs. At Allegiance Van Lines, we provide comprehensive storage options to give you the best-suited plan for your next move.

Storage Options Available To You

Here’s a look at the available storage options for your upcoming move. The good news is that these come at no extra cost for the first 30 days.

1. Self-Storage Units

Self-storage units are great for those looking to come and go as they please. They’re available at our designated moving facilities and come in many different sizes. Your unit is available whenever you need it, and you arrange and handle the packing and unpacking. Moreover, self-storage offers flexibility when it comes to access hours, and they also come in at a lower cost.

Keep in mind that when choosing this option you’ll be responsible for all the packing, heavy lifting, and transporting to and from the storage facility. This can be more challenging than anticipated if you’re not properly prepared. However, if you have a plan for packing and unpacking, then Allegiance Van Lines self-storage units may be the right storage option for your needs.

2. Full-Service Moving and Storage

Our full-service moving and storage option prioritizes all your storage needs and packs them into one service. Opting for a full-service moving and storage means we’ll supply all the packing materials and pack your items.

At your discretion, we’ll carefully load your furniture and belongings into one of our trucks and transport them safely to exactly where they’re needed before unpacking them for you. We can also store them securely at one of our controlled storage facilities for however long you need.

Our full-service moving and storage offers the ultimate convenience and knowledge that all your belongings are securely stored and available whenever you need them delivered. This service does come at a higher cost, but it does offer a comprehensive service. As a trusted local moving company, we’re fully licensed and insured for that added peace of mind.

3. Portable Storage Containers

If either of the above options aren’t right for your moving needs, our portable storage containers offer a convenient way to store your household contents. No contact required except to arrange a time and an address for us to deliver your portable container. In fact, all we need is a 24-hour notice period before dropping off!

Once your container is on site, you’re able to pack it at your own pace. Once you’re ready for collection, we’ll collect it and either transport it to our storage container warehouse or to your new home. A portable container is a great option for those who want flexibility; however, they are limited in their size and capacity and may not be suitable for larger households.

Consider These Factors When Choosing Storage

Preparing for a move comes with some important decisions to be made, which is why it’s a good idea to consider the following factors.

1. How Long Do You Require Storage for?

If you’re only needing storage for a couple of days or weeks, then our full-service moving and nationwide storage options could be the right choice for you. This option eliminates paying for long-term storage, and having to do all the packing and moving yourself in a short period of time.

However, if you need long-term storage, looking into a dedicated storage unit may be the more cost-effective option for you.

2. How Hands-On Do You Want To Be?

A lot comes down to how involved you want to be in the moving process. If you have the desire and the time to manage your own packing and storage needs, then a self-service storage solution might be the right call for you. If life is demanding, and you prefer a hands-off approach, then our full-service option is a better.

And remember, it’s important not to underestimate the work and time that goes into relocating. It’s usually more than you might think.

3. What Items Are Being Stored?

If you’re storing fragile items such as electronics, paintings, glass, or furniture, then considering a controlled storage environment is important. Any items that are temperature and humidity-sensitive should be kept in one of our climate-controlled facilities. These facilities are designed to offer a consistent temperature and humidity level to protect your most sensitive and valuable home content pieces.

4. What’s Your Budget?

Finally, a lot comes down to your budget at hand. At Allegiance Van Lines, we’re upfront about fees, and you won’t find out about any hidden costs down the road. The quote you see is always the quote you get.

Once you’ve received a free full moving quote detailing all the fees, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about what you can afford. Remember that our nationwide moving and storage services, although higher in cost, remove any other costs that you may need to consider for rental truck hires and possible labor to pack and unpack your storage unit.
