At StorageVille, we believe in helping our customers – that is what we’re in the business of.

Below, you’ll find our top five most viewed articles about self-storage. Thank you for reading and we’ll be back next month with more new and great content!

There’s more to renting storage than storage unit pricing

As Winnipeggers ourselves, we love a great deal! However, while a low price seems favorable to the storage unit rentee – make sure you know what you’re paying for – and what might not be included. At StorageVille, we feel we have more to offer our customers than simply a great price (even though we have that too!) If you’re renting self-storage from anywhere, make sure you are aware of all things the fee may or may not cover – before you buy! If you are unsure, read through our article and learn about the different ways we structure our fees versus other self-storage providers.
