Guide
Summer storage quotes look small per week until you multiply by 14 weeks and add two van trips. Shipping a 10-piece room home is £289 each way, no collection fees, no forgotten renewal. Here is how to choose.
You are going home anyway, home has a garage or a spare corner, and you would rather your things were where you are. Two shuttle runs (out in June, back in September) cost a known £289 each and include cover.
You are staying nearby over summer, or home is abroad or genuinely has no space. Then local storage earns its keep; just read the access hours and insurance lines before signing.
Send home the things you will actually use over summer, and store only the bulky term-time kit locally. Smaller storage unit, smaller shuttle load, both bills shrink.
