Avoid the Budget Airliners of Self Storage!

Have you been stung by the budget airliners of self storage?

It’s summer.  Perhaps you’ve had the unfortunate experience of booking flights with a budget airline.  Starts off well, you do a search of your destination on the internet and they’re top with a great price.  You click through to buy…. then you realise that to get a flight that isn’t in the middle of the night is extra, to return to the same airport is extra, checked luggage is extra, cabin bags are extra, booking your seat is extra, a meal is extra, leg-room is extra, forgetting to print your boarding passes is extra….  The cost you end up paying is a lot more than the figure you originally saw.

Sadly it seems that many self storage operators are now also following in the footsteps of the budget airlines.

Picture this: you’re in need of some extra space, and you come across what seems like a low price. You think you’ve struck gold—until you realise it’s more like stumbling into a budget airline’s hidden fees black hole.

First, you’re lured in by the low price. But then, BAM! Suddenly, everything’s an add-on. Want a padlock and keys to secure your belongings? That’ll be extra. Oh, you actually want to visit the site? Sure, but only if you pay a premium. Need 24-hour access? Better factor in a surcharge for that, too. And let’s not even start on the insurance—an essential, but somehow it’s treated like a luxury.

There is another way.

Here at The Space Program, we believe in a smoother flight path. No turbulence, no hidden fees, just stellar service. When you store with us, we won’t charge you extra for the basics. Padlocks and keys? They come with the territory. Visiting our site? We welcome you with open airlocks. 24-hour access? Always. And insurance? It’s just part of the package.

We’re all about making your storage experience easy.  Because space should be simple, straightforward, and free from the gravitational pull of sneaky charges.

So next time you’re shopping around for storage, remember: there’s no need to orbit the confusing world of budget storage providers. Just set your course for The Space Program, where we’re always ready for lift-off without the hidden costs.

Unlike those budget airliners of self storage, we actually want you to be comfortable! Enjoy the space, the freedom, and the peace of mind knowing that your belongings are in good hands. It’s storage, but with a first-class experience. 🌟🚀
