When you think of self storage, plenty of people’s first instinct is to look for shipping container storage.

This is generally because they assume it will be much cheaper to store their things in a rusty old shipping container storage than it will to store them in a clean, dry and safe self storage facility like ours. That’s not necessarily the case, but even if it was, you have to consider what you are getting for your money.

Rent A Space versus Shipping Container Storage

When you take out shipping container storage, that’s exactly what you get. A shipping crate with a single padlock on the door. The condition of the shipping crates is varied and you wouldn’t want to store precious items in a shipping crate as there is no protection against damp and rust.

When you take out household storage or business storage with us, you get so much more for your money. Your unit is guaranteed to stay clean and dry, there’s not a piece of rust in sight! Your unit is individually alarmed, covered by 24 hour CCTV and all access to the facility (which can be at anytime) is gated with pin code access. So, you may be paying a little more (or you might not because our rates are very competitive), but you are getting a top of the range self storage unit fronted with excellent customer service.

If you are leaving items in storage, the chances are you want them to be kept safe and you want to retrieve them in good condition. With shipping container storage that is not always a guarantee, but with us it is. Don’t just take our word for it, plenty of our customers are pleased they chose us instead of shipping container storage. So if you’re looking for affordable rates but incredible quality, don’t choose shipping container storage, choose us.
