| What's Included in the Offer? |
| 50% off storage for up to 8 weeks Available at participating stores on selected unit sizes. |

| Flexible if plans change. Need to stay a little longer? Just speak to your store team and they can arrange an extension. |

How Much Does Student Storage Cost?
Student storage starts at around £3 per week including VAT with the 50% off offer.* Prices vary by location and unit size. After the 8-week offer period, the standard weekly rate would be £5.99 per week. If you only need storage for the summer, the discounted period should cover most or all of your stay.
The only other things to budget for are:
- A padlock. You'll need one to secure your unit.
- Contents cover. All customers need contents cover for the duration of their stay. You're welcome to use your own policy if it meets our requirements. Your parents' home contents cover may include items stored away from home, so it's worth checking. If not, we offer StoreProtect cover, which can be added when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my stay if my plans change?
Yes. If you need to stay longer than originally planned, just speak to your store team and they will arrange an extension for you.
What happens after the 8-week offer period?

Do I need contents cover for my storage unit?
