USstoragesearch.com, a shop and compare website for the self-storage industry, has further expanded its reach adding six self storage facilities in Puerto Rico to the website’s listings. The move represents the first time USstoragesearch.com has added facilities in a United States’ territory.

 

Collectively, the six self storage facilities added to USstoragesearch.com this week are comprised of several thousand storage units of varying sizes with every traditional and modern storage amenity available to consumers. Storage units vary in size from as small as 2’ x 2’ all the way up to commercial storage units that are 1,000 square feet. The bulk of the new storage units added to the directory are traditional sizes between 5’ x 5’ and 10’ x 20’ aimed at residential consumers. The storage facilities offer many modern amenities including interior 24/7 access, climate controlled units, back-up power generators and security surveillance just to name a few.

Self storage in Puerto Rico is still a fairly new industry, especially in comparison to the rest of the United States’ adoption of the storage industry. There are currently less than a dozen self storage facilities in Puerto Rico serving just over 3.7 million residents. In comparison there are more than 48,000 self storage facilities in the rest of the US serving more than 300 million residents. Mainland US residents have approximately 50 times the number of storage facilities on a per capita basis than do the residents of Puerto Rico making the US territory an area prime for future self storage development.

This expansion of the USstoragesearch.com self storage footprint comes right on the heels of Storage.com’s announcement to include a Spanish language translation option on its mobile website. Many of partner websites in the USstoragesearch.com network of more than 3,000 partner sites immediately incorporated the Puerto Rican storage facilities into their search results. Storage.com will include the Puerto Rican mini storage locations in its next planned release in the middle of August. This growth and expansion of USstoragesearch.com and its network partners is part of an on-going effort to provide a broader customer base with the opportunity to search for, compare, and reserve self storage units.

Consumers using USstoragesearch.com and its partner network will be able to shop, compare, find coupons, get free quotes and can even reserve storage units in Puerto Rico online. In addition to online support for those looking for self storage in Puerto Rico, the USstoragesearch.com call center will provide telephone support. If consumers have questions or would prefer to get more information by telephone, the USstoragesearch.com call center has bilingual agents available 24/7 to help.

While the initial launch of self-storage in Puerto Rico includes six locations, there are already 8 self storage facilities in Puerto Rico that have signed up to be a part of the network. Cities in Puerto Rico covered by the initial six locations include Caguas, Catano, Guaynabo, Ponce, Santurce and Toa Baja. Several of these locations are within 10 miles of the center of San Juan, providing self storage options for Puerto Rico’s capital largest city.

Business owners, property owners and residents of Puerto Rico now have the ability to look for storage the same way storage consumers in the rest of the US can via USstoragesearch.com. Having information about Puerto Rican self storage all in one easy to navigate site will help businesses, residents, property owners and visitors to the Commonwealth more efficiently find a place to store their belongings.
