Before you start planning your house move, you may want to research storage facilities in your area. That is especially the case if you are about to relocate to a smaller property or to one that does not have a garage, a garden shed or extra space for all your possessions. Storage services are also a smart solution for people who have a big gap period between leases. But no matter the reason, it is important to keep in mind that renting a storage room can be expensive.

• Consider whether you will need special insurance coverage
• Seek for cheaper alternatives
• Focus not on the unit’s size but on your packing and Tetris skills

Stick to all these tips and you are guaranteed to land a sweet and bud...

As a rule, moving out of a 2-bedroom home will require you to use about 30 mid-sized boxes, 20 large and 10 extra-large ones. The thing is that a great number of families prefer to use only large and extra-large cardboard boxes thinking that this will save them time when packing and unpacking.

• Big in size but light in weight
• Small in size but with a light to medium weight
