Like many growing economies, Dubai is subject to the constant movement of people—and their possessions—from around the globe. This has given rise to the growth of an increasingly sophisticated industry: self-storage units.
What do you need to store, and why?
There are many things to consider here, starting with local (and international) regulations regarding what you may and may not store in such a facility. Foodstuffs and perishables, for example, are not allowed, as well as any explosives, munitions, firearms and so on, or animals. The list of forbidden items is quite long. If in doubt, ask the professionals at Capitol Ez Storage LLC who are up to date with the latest local legislation. You also need to consider the size of the storage facility you might need, how long you need it for (monthly, quarterly and annual rentals may be negotiated), and of course cost—which may range, depending on the size of the facility and how long you might need it for.
Location and access:
You probably want to make sure that your goods in storage are accessible when you want them—a set of camping gear for that weekend in the desert, for example, or a spare bed for the unexpected guest. You don’t want to have to travel from Jebel Ali to Sharjah just to collect a stored file for the office. For these reasons, Capitol Ez Storage LLC will ensure that your storage facility is accessible 24/7, and 365 days a year.
Safety and security:
This is non-negotiable. No point in putting stuff into storage if it’s likely to go up in smoke or be plundered by neighboring storage unitholders. Make sure your facility covered by insurance which may be included in the storage contract. Another consideration is privacy. Are you the only key-holder to your storage unit, or can the proprietor start to nose around your valued possessions at any time? Capitol Ez Storage LLC guarantees the security and privacy of your goods at all times.
Customer service:
Discuss with Capitol Ez Storage LLC how much assistance—and advice—they can give you. Most importantly, do you get a good feeling about this company and its employees to value and care for your personal possessions and sensitive documents during moving and storage?
Self-storage
There’s an old saying that “if you pay peanuts you get monkeys”. The same is true of storage facilities—you get what you pay for. If you’re prepared to do most of the work yourself in terms of packing and carting your stuff into a storage unit, you may save money. On the other hand, it often pays—depending on the value of what you’re putting in storage—to get professionals like Capitol Ez Storage LLC to do it for you. This has an added advantage of receiving an itemized inventory of what you have put into storage, which also makes it easier to value the goods for insurance purposes—and to know where to find your possessions later
