Self Storage for Students

Starting university or taking a gap year? We know student life is packed with moving, studying, and organizing your next steps, and finding secure storage is a big part of that. Blue Bear makes it easy to store all your essentials at an affordable price in several locations across central and southeast England. With flexible, student-focused storage in the below locations, we’re here to help you store your stuff safely during term breaks, gap years, and anytime you need extra space.

Our student storage facilities are located in the following UK locations:

For hundreds of thousands of people studying away from home, the summer holiday break isn’t a time to kick back and relax; it’s a busy period for students organising their next term accommodation and wondering where to store their possessions in the meantime.

Whether you’re staying close to home or heading abroad to study, halls of residence and rented student accommodation don’t always have enough space to keep all your student belongings safe. That’s where the Blue Bear Student Self Storage service comes in.

We operate several sites across the UK where you can store all your personal possessions in our robust, fully weatherproof units. They are ideal for ensuring all your belongings stay secure. Simply pack as many boxes as you need with your stuff, pop them in a van, have fun transporting them to your chosen storage location, and store them in your storage container unit.

Like all our customers, students can come and go as often as they like to store the odd extra box or collect items as all our secure storage facilities offer easy access to your belongings, seven days a week, 365 days a year, at an affordable, low-cost price.

Student Storage Goods Protection Policy

As a reputable storage company, we ask that all customers, including students, have our great value protection policy for the belongings stored in the containers. We also know most students are on a tight budget, so if you store with us, we’ve got you covered with a low-cost policy!

Because our security systems are of such a high standard, we can offer an additional service: competitive protection policies at low prices, no matter how long or short the student rental period.

The Ins & Outs of Student Storage

Perfect for University Storage, Shared Housing, and Gap Years

Studying away from home means dealing with space issues, especially in halls and shared accommodation. Our storage units are ideal for keeping your things safe without cluttering up your room or apartment. Heading out on a gap year? Store your belongings with us while you travel and pick them up when you’re back. Blue Bear’s flexible storage options let you keep what’s important nearby and organized.

International students and mainland UK-based students love our self-storage because it’s hassle-free, provides a good service, and is often the cheapest option. But what do you get for your (or your parents) money?

If you’re moving out of shared accommodation and want some expert advice from preparing items for storage to getting your security deposit back, read our student storage tips blog here.

What You Can’t Put in Our Student Storage Units

Each self-storage unit is specifically designed to accommodate all manner of small or larger items.

However, any student renting a storage space should know there are several things we, like other self-storage companies, will not allow at any of our sites. They include:

  • Firearms or weapons of any type
  • Illegal materials or substances
  • Flammable or hazardous materials
  • Explosive materials or pyrotechnics (including fireworks)
  • Poisons or toxic substances
  • Foodstuffs or perishable items
  • Livestock
  • Any other material or item that we think could pose a risk to you or others

How Much Does Student Storage Cost?

Our student storage costs depend on which of our storage facilities and the size of the storage unit you choose. Click on the location that suits you best, and you’ll find pricing information alongside unit sizing.

We don’t ask for a deposit for student storage containers using a padlock, but they are required on units with a standard door where Blue Bear Self Storage supplies a key.

If you decide to use our student storage solution for the duration of your studies, we offer discounted rates for longer rentals.

Why Use Our Self Storage Facility?

Many students see studying away from home as their first big adventure as an adult. Although they want some of their home comforts around them, often there isn’t enough room in their new accommodation to keep all their belongings.

If you choose to live halfway across the UK, it can be a real hassle either popping back home to collect stuff or a major concern having to transport lots of moving boxes every few months.

Let us save you time, money, and stress. Our student storage service is the best way to keep your personal belongings close at hand in a safe and secure location, for a short or longer period. Chat with us today.
