Frequently Asked Questions about Self Storage in Edinburgh

Which Edinburgh Safestore is most convenient for me?

We have three storage facilities in Edinburgh to suit different parts of the city. Our Leith store on Salamander Street is well placed for those in the north and east of the city. Edinburgh Gyle at Sighthill is convenient for the west of Edinburgh and easy to reach from the city bypass. Edinburgh Fort Kinnaird on Newcraighall Road serves the south east of the city and is close to the retail park and major road links.

What storage unit sizes are available in Edinburgh?

Our Edinburgh stores offer a wide range of unit sizes, from small lockers of around 10 sq ft, ideal for a few boxes or student belongings, right up to larger units of 500 sq ft or more suitable for a full house move or business relocation. Use our size guide on this page to find the right fit for your needs.

What security features do Safestore Edinburgh stores have?

All three Edinburgh stores have 24-hour recorded CCTV and intruder alarms as standard. You are the sole key holder to your unit, meaning only you can access your belongings. Store receptions are staffed during trading hours for additional peace of mind.

When can I access my storage unit at Safestore Edinburgh?

In most cases you can book and move in on the same day, making Safestore a convenient option if you need storage at short notice. All of our Edinburgh stores are open seven days a week, and extended access hours are available at many locations so you can visit your unit outside of standard trading hours. As we do not offer 24-hour access, we recommend checking your nearest store page for specific opening times before visiting.

Do storage prices vary across Edinburgh locations?

Yes, prices vary by unit size and store location. The quickest way to compare is to get an online quote, which shows current availability and any introductory offers at each of our Edinburgh stores.

Which Edinburgh store is best for student storage?

Our Edinburgh Leith store is the most convenient for students at the University of Edinburgh, being easily accessible from the city centre and popular for storing belongings over the summer or between accommodation moves. Students at Edinburgh Napier University are well served by our Edinburgh Gyle store at Sighthill, which is close to the Napier campus. Units are available from locker size upwards at both stores so you only pay for the space you need.

Is there a minimum rental period at Safestore Edinburgh?

There is no long-term commitment required. You can store for as little or as long as you like, depending on the contract you choose.

Can I reserve or book my storage online without paying a deposit?

Yes, you can reserve or book your storage online with no deposit required. You can also call your nearest Edinburgh store directly or complete our contact form and we will call you back.
