Moving and Storage
Long-term storage units offer a convenient way to keep items safe and accessible without cluttering your home or office. Our units provide a secure solution for belongings you don’t need daily but want to protect.
Here’s how using our storage units can benefit you:
When considering what items you can move into a storage unit, it's important to remember that most storage facilities have guidelines and restrictions in place to ensure the safety and security of the stored items. Generally, you can move a wide range of belongings into a storage unit, including furniture, electronics, books, and personal keepsakes.
Items suitable for our long-term storage units include:
It’s easy for homes and businesses to feel crowded with seasonal items. Rather than getting rid of items that still mean something to you, you can store them in our long-term facilities. Doing this helps you keep what matters safe and bring it back when you’re ready to enjoy a clutter-free space.
When reorganizing your space, consider storing seasonal items like holiday decorations, winter gear, and gardening tools in our long-term storage units. Our secure, climate-controlled units protect your belongings from moisture and temperature extremes, keeping them in pristine condition and free from the musky odors often found in garage and basement storage.
Storage units are designed with top-level security as a priority, featuring strong, durable walls, secure doors, and controlled access to optimize safety. At Best Movers, our storage units are designed to keep out unauthorized access and protect your belongings from the elements so that you can store everything with complete confidence.
Here are our key safety features:
With real-time surveillance, we can continuously monitor all areas of our storage facility, so you can be assured that there’s always an eye on your unit and costly goods. Our cameras capture all activities on the premises, deterring unauthorized access and adding an extra layer of security.
Access to our facility is restricted to authorized personnel and renters. We use advanced access control systems, requiring unique codes to enter, ensuring only approved visitors have access to the storage area and units.
For added peace of mind, our storage rental packages come with insurance options to protect your stored items from unforeseen incidents.
Yes, we offer after-hours access to your storage unit. We know that flexibility is important, so we make sure you can get to your belongings whenever you need, even outside of typical business hours. Our secure, monitored facility ensures safe access at any time, with convenient entry protocols that make after-hours visits straightforward and stress-free.
Rest assured, only you have access to your unit—no one else, regardless of circumstance, will be granted entry, maintaining strict security and confidentiality for your belongings.
Climate-controlled units are perfect for keeping temperature- and humidity-sensitive items safe and well-preserved, like electronics, antiques, documents, and furniture. Our climate control maintains a stable environment to protect your belongings from mold, warping, and other types of damage that can occur in fluctuating conditions. It also wards off pests that seek out warm, musky spaces for shelter, keeping your stored items even more secure.
Storing a vehicle in a storage facility is a great way to protect your prized possession during the colder months of the year, or those extended periods when you're not using the vehicle. When safely tucked away in a storage site, you don't have to worry about weather damage, rust, or the possibility of break-ins.
At our storage site, you'll find all the space you need to store your family car or RV without issue.
Vehicles can be stored long-term with options for climate-controlled storage if needed. As long as the vehicle is insured and prepared for extended storage, it can stay in our secure facility for as long as needed. This offers a safe solution for vintage cars, seasonal vehicles, or cars reserved for future use.
We recommend stopping by periodically to start the engine and keep the battery charged, as well as to ensure all components stay in good working order. If your storage period needs to be extended beyond the original term, you’re welcome to renew or adjust your plan to continue keeping your vehicle safe and ready for use.
We provide storage facilities:
It can be tough to determine what size storage unit you need. Will one of our 8 x 20 seacans accommodate your apartment, or will you need something larger? We can help you answer these questions. A 8x20 unit (160 sq ft) will easily be able to store the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment with some space left over, while an 8x40 unit (300 sq ft) can hold the contents of a 4-bedroom home plus a garage.
For the convenience of our Yellowknife clients all of our locations are equipped with the following supplies:
Proper packing is needed in long-term storage to preserve the stored items. We recommend using sturdy boxes, labeling each one, and wrapping fragile items in bubble wrap. Place heavier items on the bottom and leave space between boxes to allow airflow. Using pallets or shelving to lift items off the floor is also a good way to prevent accidental water damage.
To avoid damage from settling, fill any gaps and empty spaces in boxes with packing paper or foam to prevent items from shifting over time. Additionally, breathable covers for furniture should be used to shield it from dust and debris when opening doors while allowing airflow, which helps reduce the risk of mold or mildew buildup.
If you have any questions during the packing process, our team is here to provide guidance and recommend optimal packing solutions to ensure the safety of your belongings.

The costs associated with long-term storage can vary depending on several factors. Monthly rental fees will be the primary cost, but there might be other up-front costs to worry about, as well. If you'd like to hire our movers to pack and load your belongings into storage, you'll have to take these costs into consideration as well.
Homeowners insurance generally includes "off-premises" personal property coverage, which protects your belongings even when they are not located at your home. This coverage typically includes protection against perils like fire, theft, and vandalism.
The coverage limits for off-premises personal property are usually much lower than the overall personal property coverage limits. For example, the off-premises coverage may be capped at 10% of the total personal property limit. If the value of the items stored in the unit exceeds the off-premises coverage limit, you may need to purchase additional coverage, such as increased personal property limits or scheduled coverage for high-value items like jewelry or art.
