Getting transferred to a new city by your employer can be a stressful situation to find yourself.  Often your employer will consult with you before making the decision and in many cases the transfer will correspond to a promotion that will make the relocation more than worthwhile for you to accept.  Transportation of your furniture and other personal belongings will more than likely be taken care of by your company.  You should also insure that as part of the relocation package that your employer factors in the cost associated with the use of a Oakland storage facility to store your extra belongings once you reach your new home.  When making the decision which company to use you should first determine several factors that will dictate the quality of the experience you will have.

Factors such as the location of the Oakland storage company, timeframe that you will need their services, and the size of the storing area you will need to store your items.  These primary factors, though important, are not all of the factors you should contemplate.  The security features offered by the facility are also important.  Does the facility have twenty four hour a day video surveillance?  Is the facility protected by fencing, walled gate, or computerized access controlled gates?  Are the access hours restricted to prevent people from being on the property after office hours?  You should research the company to determine the answers to these very important security questions.

The location of the Oakland storage property will determine the ease with which you can access your unit when traveling from your home or office.  The further from your home or office the longer the trip will take and the more mileage you will be putting on your personal vehicle.  This cost can be calculated in both time and money spent on fuel for your car.  Many people will choose a facility that is less convenient for them in the hopes of getting a less costly contract, but will then spend more of their money on gas.  This is something you should calculate before signing your contract and making the commitment to rent.

The time period that you will rent a storing unit from the Oakland storage company will play a part in the cost of the unit and the availability of the unit.  There are periods of time that will be more costly to rent than other time periods.  This more costly time periods generally correspond to the busiest time periods for the companies.  As with the consumption of most products or services, the supply and demand will play a major role in the end cost of the product or service to the consumer.  Sometimes it is beneficial to sign your contract at period of the year when the demand for units is not as great.

Another major variable in determining the cost of using a Oakland storage space is the size of the area required to meet your storing needs.  A good rule of thumb is that it takes about a five square foot by ten square foot area of space to hold the contents of one to two rooms of furniture.  So if you need to store two to four rooms of furniture or household goods you would need at least a ten square foot by ten square foot space.
