Why Students Need Storage for Summer Break

Most students travel home, go on holidays, or change accommodation during summer. Instead of dragging suitcases and boxes across the country, a secure student storage unit lets you keep everything in one place, ready for your return in September.

Common items students store include:


  • Clothes & shoes

  • Books and notes

  • Kitchen items

  • Bedding and mattress toppers

  • Small appliances

  • Laptops, monitors, and electronics

  • Sports equipment

  • Personal items


If you’re changing flats, travelling, or simply don’t want clutter at home, storage is the easiest solution.

  • Suitcases

  • Boxes

  • Bikes

  • Electronics

You only pay for the space you need.

How Student Storage Works (Simple Process)

  1. Choose your unit size – Our team can help you estimate.

  2. Book the storage – Flexible weekly or monthly terms.

  3. Drop off your items – Bring your boxes or buy packing supplies from us.

  4. Collect when you're back – Pick up anytime once the new term begins.

It’s that simple.


Tips to Save Money on Student Storage

To keep your storage even cheaper, try these:

✔ Share a unit with a friend

Splitting a mid-size unit makes it extremely cost-effective.

✔ Pack efficiently

Use boxes and stack items vertically to use less space.

✔ Store only what you need

Sell or donate old clothes, utensils, and books before storing.

✔ Choose short-term plans

If you only need 8–12 weeks of storage, don’t pay for more.


Why Summer Storage Is Better Than Shipping Items Home

Many students think shipping boxes home is cheaper. But with rising courier prices, delays, and damage risks, self-storage often costs less especially for heavy or bulky items. Plus, everything stays organised and waiting for you when you’re back in Glasgow.
