Confirm usable space and rate basis
Ask for the usable area and whether the quote is based on square feet, pallet positions, volume or another measure. Confirm common-area allocation and minimum tenure.
Inspect operational access
Check vehicle approach, loading/unloading arrangements, operating hours, labour, power, ventilation and any limits on goods or handling equipment.
Verify safety and security evidence
Ask about access controls, CCTV coverage, fire-safety systems, pest management and incident reporting. Request current facility information rather than relying on generic claims.
Review contract costs
Confirm deposit, escalation, taxes, insurance, handling, retrieval, late payment, exit notice and restoration obligations in writing.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included in the quote?
- What charges or exclusions may apply?
- What proof supports any claims about ratings, credentials or insurance?
- Who is responsible for coordination and claims?
- Can the full scope and schedule be confirmed in writing?
