What Affects Self Storage Prices?
Storage costs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Storage unit prices vary by location, unit size, access hours, and the facility’s amenities, so a storage unit in central London will typically cost more than one in a smaller town or suburban area with lower demand.
The type of storage unit matters too. Indoor storage units, climate-controlled storage, and facilities with extended access or added security features tend to be priced higher than more basic options. That’s not always a bad thing; it depends entirely on what you’re storing.
Comparing self storage prices side by side is the easiest way to find cheap storage units without paying for space or features you don’t actually need. WhatStorage lets you compare storage unit prices from over 1,000 verified storage facilities across the UK. Customers save an average of 40% compared to going direct. Find secure, affordable self storage for both short-term and long-term needs and get a quote in under two minutes.

Popular Uses for Self Storage
Self storage is one of those things you don’t think about until you suddenly need it, and then you need it urgently. Whether you’re looking for a small storage unit, large storage units, or a storage unit to rent for a few weeks, there are plenty of options available. Here are the most common reasons people use self storage.
- Moving home — A house move rarely goes smoothly, and having somewhere to put things while you’re between properties makes a real difference. Self storage units give you flexible space for furniture, boxes, appliances, and personal belongings — whether you need a small storage unit or a larger storage unit for a family move.
- Student storage — Lugging everything home during the holidays isn’t always practical. Student storage is a straightforward solution for university breaks, placements, and accommodation changes — keeping your clothing, books, and furniture safe without the hassle of transporting them all.
- Business storage — When your workspace starts to fill up with stock, tools, equipment, or archive boxes, a dedicated business storage unit can free up considerable space.
- Furniture storage — Renovating, downsizing, or in the middle of a move? Furniture storage lets you keep sofas, wardrobes, beds, and other household items safe in a secure self storage unit nearby while you sort out the next step.
- Long-term storage — Not everything needs to be accessible every day. Long-term self storage works well for seasonal items, spare furniture, business stock, and equipment you want to keep but don’t have space for at home.
Types of Storage Facilities
- Indoor storage units — Sit within a secure storage facility, making them a popular choice for furniture, household belongings, business stock, and anything you’d rather keep out of the elements. Most also come with CCTV security, monitored access, and flexible hours.
- Container storage — Built for bigger jobs — equipment, tools, business inventory, and bulkier items that need easy drive-up loading access. If you’re moving large volumes or looking for large storage units, containers are often a practical and cost-effective option.
- Business storage facilities — Whether you’re a small business needing overflow space or a growing company looking for somewhere to store stock, documents, or office furniture, business storage facilities offer flexible solutions that scale with you. Compare storage units nearby to find the right fit.
- Climate-controlled storage — Keeps temperature and humidity consistent, which matters more than people realise. Electronics, documents, musical instruments, wine, artwork — anything that can warp, corrode, or degrade is better off here. It costs a bit more, but the alternative can be expensive.

What Our Customers Say
Just moved from Bristol to London, not only did WhatStorage help me with finding the storage and answer all my questions through the phone, they also helped me with finding a reliable removals company. Highly recommend these guys!!
Jess Taylor 2 February 2019
Excellent service straight from the beginning. A Henfield driver arrived on time to collect my belongings, helped us load the van and then helped us unload at Henfield storage. The individual (didn’t catch his name) was super helpful and made the whole process seamless. Fantastic service, would highly recommend.
