Self-storage, also known as self-store, is a convenient and flexible solution for findividuals and businesses looking to securely store their belongings or inventory. It works by allowing you to rent a private storage unit or outdoor container unit, which serves as a secure space for your items. These units come in various sizes to accommodate your specific storage needs, whether you have a few boxes of personal items or require storage for larger items like furniture or business inventory.
One of the key advantages of self-storage is the flexibility it offers. You are able to pay by the week and additionally, you have unrestricted access to your storage unit and your belongings during our regular opening hours. This means you can retrieve or add items to your unit at your convenience, making self-storage a hassle-free solution for both short-term and long-term storage needs.
If you have any questions or require assistance regarding self-storage, our team is here and eager to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here.
At Porterstore, our minimum rental period is designed to offer you both affordability and flexibility. Initially, when you rent a storage unit with us, we provide you with the fantastic benefit of half-price storage for up to 8 weeks (4 weeks in Kendal). This special offer allows you to enjoy significant savings right from the start.
Following the initial month, we offer a flexible contract that allows you to choose how long you want to use the storage unit. We understand that your storage needs may change, so we’ve designed our contracts to be adaptable. This means you’re not tied into long-term commitments that don’t suit your requirements. In fact we only need one week’s notice to cancel your self storage contract!
Perhaps one of the standout features of our rental terms is that we offer refunds for any unused time during your storage period. This means that if you decide to vacate your storage unit before the contracted period ends, you’ll receive a refund for the time you didn’t use. We believe in fairness and transparency when it comes to our rental terms, ensuring that you only pay for the storage you need.
We’ve designed our payment system to offer you convenience and flexibility. When renting our self-storage units, you’ll make monthly payments. This means that your storage fees are due once a month, making it easy to manage your storage expenses.
Monthly payments provide you with a predictable and consistent billing schedule, which can be especially helpful for individuals and businesses managing their budgets. It eliminates the need to worry about weekly payments and allows you to plan your finances more effectively.
We understand that sometimes you need storage solutions at a moment’s notice, and at Porterstore, we aim to make the process as quick and convenient as possible. When you book one of our storage units, you can access it on the very same day (during opening hours). This means that if you require immediate storage for your belongings, you won’t have to wait for days or weeks to get started.
Our same-day access policy ensures that you can begin using your storage unit promptly, allowing you to efficiently manage your storage needs. Whether you’re mid move, downsizing, or simply looking to declutter, we’re here to provide you with swift and hassle-free storage solutions.
Absolutely, if you find that your storage needs have grown and you require additional space, you can seamlessly transfer to another room within our facility.
