Debunking 5 Common Misconceptions About Self-Storage

Self-storage is becoming increasingly popular in Singapore. Yet, despite a boon in such services, many Singaporeans still hold several misconceptions about self-storage. If you are considering renting a storage unit but are unsure whether the stuff you have read or heard about self-storage is true, fret not! Let us set the record straight by sharing and debunking the common myths surrounding self-storage.

Misconception #1: Self-storage is not safe or secure

This misconception is less of a myth and more of a fear. Many Singaporeans are apprehensive about the security of a storage facility, or lack thereof. However, rest assured that these concerns are unfounded. At A Safe Place Self Storage, our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art CCTV surveillance systems that monitor the compound 24/7. 

Our storage facilities are also restricted to those with pin access. If you are worried about someone else accessing your belongings without permission, you can secure your self-storage unit with a padlock. With these measures in place, you can rest assured that your possessions are safe and secure.

Misconception #2: There are only large storage units for rent

Many entrepreneurs often utilise storage units to stow their inventory. Perhaps this may explain why many Singaporeans mistakenly believe that only large storage units are available for rent. After all, most businesses require plenty of space to house their equipment and office supplies. 

However, this could not be further from the truth! In fact, A Safe Place Self Storage provides an extensive range of self-storage unit sizes. You can choose from the following size ranges:

  • Locker (12 square feet)
  • Small vault (Between 16 to 34 square feet)
  • Medium vault (Between 35 to 75 square feet)
  • Large vault (Between 76 to 149 square feet)
  • Extra-large vault (Between 150 to 275 square feet)

Misconception #3: Self-storage is expensive

This myth may have stemmed from the prior misconception that all storage units are large in size. After all, it is natural to assume you need to pay more when renting a spacious storage facility. While our self-storage unit sizes, along with their locations, affect the cost of our storage rentals, rest assured that our prices are affordable and fit the budget of most Singaporeans.

Misconception #4: Self-storage is only for long-term commitments

We have encountered many Singaporeans who mistakenly believe that our storage units require a long-term contract. We are happy to clarify that our rental terms are flexible and can be tailored to suit each individual’s needs. Whether you require short-term storage to stow your bulky furniture during a home renovation or long-term storage to keep your precious mementoes, we got you covered!

Misconception #5: Self-Storage units are dirty and filled with pests
