Self storage is a solution many people turn to when they need extra space. Whether you’re moving, decluttering or storing business equipment, traditional self storage gives you a secure unit to store your belongings. But here’s the catch: at BEAM Space, we don’t offer conventional self storage where you transport your items yourself. Instead, we provide valet storage, which takes care of pickup, storage, and delivery, saving you time, effort and stress!
Let’s break down how self storage works, and why valet storage can be the smarter choice for city living.
What is Self Storage?
Traditional self storage allows you to rent a unit in a facility and transport your items there yourself. Units are flexible – you can rent for weeks, months, or even years – and come in various sizes depending on your needs.
Self storage is ideal for:
- People relocating or renovating and needing temporary space.
- Businesses storing inventory, equipment or documents.
- Individuals keeping seasonal items, furniture or appliances off-site.
The main feature is self-service: you’re responsible for moving your items to the unit, arranging them and collecting them when needed.
How Self Storage Works
- Choose a Storage Provider: Look for a facility with good security, flexible rental terms and positive reviews.
- Select the Right Unit: Sizes vary from small lockers to large rooms. Consider how much you need to store and for how long.
- Move Your Items: You’ll need to pack and transport everything yourself, often with a vehicle large enough to carry your belongings.
- Access Your Unit: Typically, you have 24/7 or restricted access depending on the facility.
While self storage is convenient, it comes with downsides:
- You need to transport items yourself.
- There’s limited flexibility once your items are in the unit.
- Accessing stored items can be time-consuming.
- Security may vary between facilities.
What is Valet Storage?
Valet storage works differently – and this is where BEAM Space comes in. With valet storage, you schedule a pickup through our app, and we take care of transporting your items safely to our secure facility. When you need something back, simply request delivery.
Benefits include:
- No heavy lifting or driving, our expert team handles all transportation.
- Flexible storage options allow you to store by item or by space.
- Easy inventory management lets you track and manage your items through our app.
- BEAM Space’s city-friendly solutions are perfect for urban living where space is limited.
In short, valet storage offers all the benefits of self storage without the hassle of moving, carrying, or managing your items yourself.
How Much Does Valet Storage Cost?
Pricing at BEAM Space varies based on how much space you need or how many items you store. You can adjust your plan as needed. Unlike traditional self storage, you only pay for the service you use, with no hidden fees for transportation or access.
Pay-Per-Item for Cost Savings
Our pay-per-item storage service provides flexibility and cost efficiency. Starting as low as $4 per box per month, without contracts or minimum storage requirements, you can store only what you need and adjust your costs as your needs change. The longer you store, the more you save and there are no deposits required.
Pay-for-Space for Larger Storage Needs
If you have bigger items or need to store a larger quantity, our pay-per-space option lets you reserve a specific amount of storage area. You only pay for the space you occupy, and like our pay-per-item service, you can easily scale up or down depending on your requirements.
With both options, BEAM Space makes storage flexible, convenient, and cost-effective – whether you’re storing a few boxes or an entire apartment’s worth of belongings. Learn more about our pricing and let us help you make more room for life.
Choosing the Right Storage Solution
When deciding between self storage and valet storage, consider:
- Access: Do you need frequent access to your items? Valet storage can deliver items when needed, but you would still need to schedule deliveries ahead of time.
- Time and Effort: Valet storage takes the hardest parts out of self storage.
- Space Limitations: In city apartments or offices, valet storage often makes more sense.
At BEAM Space, we help you store your items securely while saving you time and stress. Our valet storage model is ideal for urban lifestyles, relocations, and business storage, giving you the flexibility that traditional self storage can’t.
