We’ve put together this handy guide to walk you through step-by-step so you don’t feel overwhelmed. We make moving in as simple as possible so you can get back to the important things in life, moving house, preparing your nursery, planning your trip abroad or simply relaxing in your clutter-free home space. Once you’re all moved in, you can sleep easy knowing your belongings are in good hands in a well-insulated space with best-in-class safety features.

How self storage works

1. Decide what kind of storage you need

The first thing you need to do is decide whether you are looking for household or business storage. This will determine what kind of unit you rent. If you are looking to store household goods or sports equipment, for example, you need household storage. If you want to archive files or store stock, you need business storage.
