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

Moving Supplies & Van Rental

The last thing you want to worry about as a student is packing and moving — there are so many more pressing things in your life! That is why using Storage King is a must. 

We have:

  • Convenient on-site van hiring service that simply requires you to download our Hertz app and book it.
  • A packaging shop that stocks all you need to sort out your summer storage needs, including packing materials, padlocks, scissors, gloves, and more!

Benefits of Using Student Storage

The benefits of using our student storage lockers and units are:

  • You can safely store any seasonal items like bulky winter clothing or sports gear and free up so much room in your student digs!
  • Our facilities offer more security than a campus thanks to our alarmed units and 24/7 CCTV surveillance
  • The cost of a student storage unit is much lower than renting a larger dorm or flat to fit all your excess stuff in

Packing Tips

As a university or college student, packing is going to happen at some point and it can be a nightmare. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Go through all your stuff and make a clear list of what you want to place in storage and what you want to keep
  • Only get a quote from us when you know exactly how many items you want to store
  • Label boxes with a category and an inventory list

Lee was very nice, helped me move in. Was patient with me during the whole process after I had forgotten a few pre-requisites.

Really impressed with Storage King. The initial process was straightforward and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They even came out to help me unload a heavy items from the car when they saw I was struggling, which I really appreciated. The facilities themselves are clean, secure and very well maintained. I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for storage.

Excellent customer service, as always. Required a storage unit last minute, and was provided with a 55sqft unit within a day, at half price to boot! Storage King Derby is THE best place for your storage needs in the UK, hands down 🤘🏻

I contacted Mark for a unit to store household contents. Mark’s professional approach to my needs was fist class. He made every effort to accommodate my requirements and find me a unit. Nothing was too much trouble and I have no hesitation in recommending both Mark, his team and Storage King, Derby.
