What Storage Options Are Available Without A Car?

 

There are plenty of storage options available without a car, including: 

 

Storage By-The-Box

Storage by-the-box offers collection and delivery as standard. Professional movers will collect your boxes - however many - straight from your door and transport them safely to a secure storage facility.

Whenever you need them back, your boxes will be transported safely back to you. You can even request certain boxes at a time if you only need some of your items back.

This is great for students needing storage who don’t have access to a car or anybody looking to optimise their time and money. 

Not only is this option super affordable, with prices starting from just 79p per box, per week, but it also offers maximum convenience.

No need for a car or van hire or even to leave your house! Your belongings are collected from your student house, flat, office or any other accommodation and delivered back to you without you having to lift a finger.

Peer-To-Peer Storage 

Peer-to-peer storage could be a good option if you’re looking for storage without a car, as you may be able to find some unused storage space close to home. 

With peer-to-peer storage, you can store your items in unused space (like garages, attics or sheds) of people in your local area.

While this could offer a local option, it’s not the most secure choice and relies heavily on having neighbours who are willing to do this in your local area.

 

Portable Storage Containers

Container storage companies can deliver containers directly to your home for you to fill with your belongings. You can then keep it on-site or have the container collected and stored at a secure storage facility until you need it to be delivered back. 

For those without a car, it’s a good option as there’s no need to rent a car or van. It can also provide substantial storage space; however, you have to pay for a fixed amount of space.

Unlike solutions like storage by-the-box, where you only pay for the number of boxes you store, you’ll have to pay for a storage container of a fixed size, making it less flexible and more expensive.

 

Storage Units Close To Me

Depending on where you’re located, you may be able to find a storage unit near you which you can access without a car.

If you’re based in a major city, there may be storage units in the city centre. However, you’ll usually have to pay a premium for such a central location.

For storage units close by, it could be worth paying for a taxi, but, depending on journey time, this could be an expensive option every time you need to access your belongings.

It’s cheaper and more convenient to opt for storage by-the-box so that you can have your belongings collected and delivered, regardless of where you’re located.

Full Moving Service

If you’re storing between rentals or moving house, it might be worth hiring a specialised removal company. These companies have professional movers who can move all your items - from storage boxes to large, bulky furniture.

They’ll collect your items, pack them professionally and transport them to storage where they’ll be kept safely until your delivery date.

These services offer a completely hands-off experience - no need for a car or any heavy lifting on your part. However, it’s also one of the most expensive options.

 

How Can I Access Storage Without A Car?

 

If you don’t have a car and need to access your storage, you could opt for public transport, a taxi service or choose to hire a van or car.

Depending on how often you need to access your storage items, this could be expensive and time-consuming each time.

For a more cost- and time-efficient solution, consider choosing a storage company that offers collection and delivery.

Rather than having to explore other transport options, these companies make it as easy as possible.
