Cost is always a major factor when it comes to renting a self storage unit – we all want to get the best possible value for money but with so many special offers and discounts around it can be confusing knowing which deal is actually the best.
50% off deals at the big national self storage facilities can seem very attractive (we all like a bargain) but they are not the cheapest if renting for 3 months or more because their regular rate is usually much higher than paying “full price” with a smaller or independent storage provider.
Take a look at our price comparison table below for some of the best deals around. But remember individual storage locations can cost less or more than the prices shown here so always check with a particular facility.
And don’t forget that the features and services on offer should also be taken into account as they may actually make the cost cheaper for you. For example, a self storage company offering free collection will save you money on van hire. So, as well as comparing prices also compare self storage features before making a decision.
