Student Summer Storage

Five Great Reasons to Use Student-Self Storage this Summer

Where’s the year gone? Finals are fast approaching, and then halls and rented flats all over Manchester are going to empty as students head off for the summer break. You’ve probably already got it all planned – a few overtime shifts to provide beer tokens, and then off for a holiday with your mates. But you’ve probably not even thought about storage.

What are you going to do with all your stuff? Just leave it in your flat-share for a few months, or are you planning on carting all your worldly possessions back to your mum’s garage just so you can bring it all back again in September? There’s a better way, you know.

And as you’ve probably guessed, given that you’re reading the Manchester Self Storage blog, that better way is taking us up on the offer of student self-storage.

1: It’s Safe

It doesn’t matter how secure your room is – do you really want to leave a TV, a computer, all your textbooks and your DVD collection unguarded for a whole summer? If nobody’s home, there’s nobody to keep an eye on everything. And if one of your housemates is spending the summer in your flat, there’s always the risk of them “borrowing” a few bits and pieces and forgetting all about it.

That doesn’t happen with our Mobile Self-Storage Units. Our CCTV-equipped security team will keep an eye on your belongings until you come and pick them up, and you can be sure that nobody’s going to borrow your TV for the match!

2: It’s Easy

OK, so we’ll keep all your stuff safe. Excellent. But that plan you have doesn’t account for all the time it’ll take to find a mate with a van, load the van, unload it, organise a storage locker… You get the idea. Using self-storage can be a bit of a pain.

Except it isn’t. Not with us, anyway. We’ll come to you with a Mobile Self-Storage Unit. You pack it, lock it, and then we’ll take it away and keep it safe and sound. That’s literally all there is to it.

3: It’s Cheap

By now you’re probably thinking that taking ten minutes to load your prized possessions into one of our secure Mobile Self-Storage Unit is a better idea than just hoping for the best. And we know what question’s coming next.

How much?

We know that money’s tight for students in Manchester, which is why we keep our prices low. Check them out here. We also offer an NUS discount, so make sure you mention your card when you book your unit.

4: It’s a Weight Off Your Mind

If you’re still not convinced, let’s set the scene. It’s 3am. You’re at Glasto, or one some Thai beach, or sitting on your dad’s couch, wondering why you didn’t book a holiday with everyone else.

All of a sudden, it creeps into your head. “Did I lock my door properly?” Great. Now you’re going to be worrying about being robbed when you should be having fun.

That wouldn’t be happening if you’d hired a Mobile Self-Storage Unit.

5: It Gives You Options

Plans change. Maybe you’ll meet someone on holiday, fall madly in love and move in. Maybe you’ll decide Uni life isn’t for you and go be a holiday rep in Kavos. Or maybe you’ll decide on an impromptu gap year while you work it all out.

We’re flexible. So we’ll keep your unit safe, or redeliver it anywhere in the world if that’s what you need. Will your flatmates do the same when they get back in September and realise they need to pay for your portion of the rent?

So before you head off for summer, give it some thought. Maybe the cheap, secure and flexible student storage service we provide is just what you need. If it is, you know where to find us.
