MODERN STORAGE VS. EVERYONE ELSE - WHAT DO WE DO DIFFERENTLY?

Modern Storage


EXPLAINING THE MODERN STORAGE DIFFERENCE Are you shopping for the perfect storage solution? We know you have plenty of options here in Little Rock. But you should know that Modern Storage is a little different. A lot different, actually. There’s a reason why we named our company “Modern Storage” instead of “Just Another Storage.” The Modern Storage difference is that we are making self-storage more modern in so many ways. What Makes Modern Storage the Best Choice? There’s a lot of competition in our area for your attention, so you deserve to know why Modern Storage is the best in the business. Here are the five big reasons! #1: Free Moving Truck When deciding what would make Modern Storage different from the rest, we realized there was one crucial thing most facilities don’t offer their customers: a FREE moving truck! Moving and storage go hand-in-hand because you have to MOVE something in order to get it into your unit. So, it doesn’t make sense to avoid offering our customers a solution that removes this pain point from your experience. At all three Modern Storage locations, we offer nothing but the best for our customers. With the reservation of any storage unit 5x10 or larger, you can take advantage of our FREE 15-foot box truck. Can we get any better? Why, yes. Yes, we can. #2: Free Package Acceptance Another important feature we felt Modern Storage customers deserved was FREE package acceptance. At any Modern Storage location, we will accept any deliveries on a customer’s behalf and keep them safe and stored until you have time to come by and pick them up.

FAQ ABOUT OUR FREE MOVING TRUCK

Modern Storage


GET ANSWERS TO YOUR TOP 7 QUESTIONS If you’ve ever been to any Modern Storage® location, one of the first things that’s sure to catch your eye is our moving trucks. Our 15-foot box trucks are an amazing amenity we offer to help new customers have smoother, safer, and less stressful moves. New customers usually have a few questions before renting the moving truck, so we’re answering all the most common ones here for you today. Let this be your guide when you’re ready to move into your own storage unit! How Much Does It Cost to Rent the Moving Truck? Take this in: Our moving truck is FREE for new customers! Isn’t that a great deal? For the first 30 days after moving in, new tenants renting anything larger than a 5x5 storage unit can take advantage of this amenity with no cost to reserve. This opportunity is only available once, so don’t wait! How Do I Make the Reservation? In order to reserve a moving truck, you need to give us a copy of your driver’s license and car insurance policy at least 24 hours in advance.

The driver of the moving truck does not have to be the tenant, but they must have car insurance covering the use of a 5x15 foot box truck.

TRICK OR TREAT: THE FRIGHTENING REALITY OF HIDDEN STORAGE FEES

Modern Storage


MODERN STORAGE HAS NO HIDDEN SCARY AGENDA When a customer calls one of our Modern Storage® locations asking about security deposits and admin fees, we know they have been spooked. It’s not uncommon for a storage facility near you to charge all kinds of frightening fees (even when it’s not Halloween season) and that’s just devious. At Modern Storage®, you can rest assured that every day will be a treat. We have honest, competitive pricing with no added taxes, admin fees, deposits, or other hidden fees. We even offer a complimentary moving truck for new storage customers! So, how do you know whether you are getting tricked or treated? Let us take a closer look at some of the hidden fees you need to beware of at some storage facilities. #1: Admin Fees Moving is expensive enough. Why would you charge someone a fee just to save a storage unit reservation in a computer? It should take no more than 10 minutes if you take care of the customer correctly, especially if you are offering quick and contactless online storage rentals. That’s why we do not believe in admin fees at our brand new location in Bentonville, or any other Modern Storage® location in Central Arkansas. In fact, we offer so many more amenities compared to the competition and still refuse to charge admin fees. That’s what makes us Modern! You can even use our business centers, conference rooms, and Starbucks coffee bars for free. #2: Security Deposits Why do storage facility owners find the need to charge deposits to protect their property? If a storage facility is charging you a security deposit, chances are there have been spooky incidents there in the past and the security features are substandard. At Modern Storage®, we don’t need to charge you a security deposit because we have very clear rules and policies, plus advanced security features like 24-hour surveillance cameras and controlled-access gates. PS: At our new Bentonville storage location, customers can even open the gates using a secure app on their ...
