Student Storage Pricing
“Affordability” is the first word for most people when it comes to storage for students. UK expenses for universities and colleges have become eye-watering levels of high. Storage King is aware of this and so we strive to bring you value in everything we do.
Our Derby student storage units are flexibly priced according to:
- The size of the unit
- The location of the unit in our facility
- The length of time you need the unit

Friendly staff, originally booked storage over the phone. The man I spoke to was good at advising me on the size of storage i needed and took the time to explain to me the cancellation policy and set it up ahead of time for my short term booking. The check in was quick and easy and I was shown how to access my unit out of hours and where my unit was. Would strongly recommend!

Used them back during my undergraduate degree (2021) to store my things over the summer with a group of friends. Great customer service, student deals are a lifesaver, and easy access. Using them again to store my things this coming summer for my postgraduate degree. A great option for students!

I was assisted by Mark at the Derby store an absolute gem of a bloke! It was a short interaction, but the whole process was incredibly smooth. I simply mentioned which boxes I needed and he handed them over without a moment’s hesitation. Thanks for the support!
