Location affects costs in many different ways as well. Facilities a stone’s throw from the MTR may ask for more, but keep in mind: if it takes three bus rides and a subway transfer to see your storage, transportation expenditures soon mount up and your time is money. Convenience is highly important.

From the locals, comparing ministorage at Lai Chi Kok calls for a sharp eye, some well targeted questions, and a backup calculator. But soon you’ll hide your belongings without storing regrets armed with these concepts.
