Short-term storage when you move house

A few weeks to a few months while you settle or wait for the new place. What matters: the total for a short stay, how easy it is to drive up and unload, and how much notice you give to leave.

What to check

The 3-month total for room for a two-bedroom home
Drive-up
Loading bay
In before 6am
One-off and extra fees
Price rises

Ask before you sign

Can I move in on a Saturday or Sunday, and is the office open?
Is there a free move-in van or trailer?
Is there a sign-up, admin, deposit, lock or cleaning fee, and how much?
How much notice do you give before a rent rise?

How we check

Totals: offer months, then the standard rate, plus one-off fees the operator publishes with an amount.
Drive-up, Loading bay and In before 6am: from each operator's own page. Where it says nothing, the table says "not stated".
One-off and extra fees and Price rises: from the operator's terms, with its own words on each site's page.
Sites with a price come first, then those whose pages state more of the must-haves above, then the lowest total.

Totals assume you give notice on time. Each site's page has the operator's own words for every column, with the page and the date we read it.

Planning a short stay

Short stays are where first-month offers matter most: over two months a half-price month is a quarter of the bill, over a year it is a twenty-fourth.

Settlement gaps

Pick a site near the new home, not the old one: you unload once but come back several times to fetch things. Pick the stay length on any results page and the totals follow it.

Renovations

If rooms must be empty for the work, a two-bedroom home's contents need about 13 m² by our size rule; a one-bedroom flat about 9.5 m². Ground-floor or drive-up units make loading quicker if you move it yourself, and the results page can show only those. For a longer job, storage while you renovate costs six months.

Illustration of a kitchen and living room emptied for renovation, with the furniture packed into a storage unit next door — Illustration, not a real facility.

Working out the real cost

Every total on this site already adds the offer months, the rate after them and any one-off fee an operator publishes with an amount. What the operators we cover publish about the rest:

Insurance: National Storage requires your goods to be insured (yours or its own policy); the other operators whose terms we have read don't. StoreLocal and Troon do not sell it; Fort Knox and Roomia sell optional cover; Wilson Storage, Public Self Storage, Storage Box and Store It Cheap do not say on their pages.
Locks: Fort Knox includes one with its $28 admin fee and Store It Cheap provides one; Troon and Storage Box ask you to bring your own; the others publish no lock price.
Leaving: StoreLocal's managed sites and Fort Knox refund only whole months not yet started; Public refunds nothing if you leave during an offer's discount period. Give notice before your next billing date.

Two months, real prices

A two-month stay in units that publish both the offer and the rate after it. For a stay this short the offer is a big share of the bill.
