The charges for safe deposit box are not much different for all banks. For certain banks, it is compulsory to purchase additional insurance for the safe deposit box while some banks already cover for the minimum insured amount. In my opinion, if you are interested to get a safety deposit box, find a bank branch that is nearer to your house, with ample parking space and has the safety deposit box size that suits you.
