Student Storage

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 Self Storage service comes in.

Keep Your Belongings Safe with Top-Notch Security

When it comes to storing your things, security is everything. Each Blue Bear location is fenced, with monitored CCTV, secure gates, and insurance-grade padlocks for each unit. You’re the only one with access, so whether you’re stashing books, furniture, or travel gear, you can rest easy knowing your items are secure until you need them next. Want more information?

Just pull up, open your container, and grab or drop off what you need. With access 365 days a year, it’s easy to stop by during the break or just before heading back to uni.

Frequently Ask Questions

Q: How much does student storage cost per week?

A: Prices vary by location and unit size, but our student storage starts from affordable rates designed for university budgets. Most students find our 40 sq ft units (roughly the size of a garden shed) perfect for storing boxes, books, and bedding. Plus, we offer 50% off your first 8 weeks, making summer storage significantly cheaper than paying rent on an empty room.

Q: Can I store my belongings just for the summer holidays?

A: Absolutely. We specialize in short-term student storage for the summer break. Although we do offer long-term storage contracts as an option, so you can store your items for a few weeks over July and August and collect them exactly when your new term starts. It is much easier than hauling everything home!

Q: Do you offer student discounts for storage?

A: Yes! We know student life is expensive. We offer 50% off for the first 8 weeks of storage to help keep your costs down. If you are studying abroad or taking a gap year and need storage for longer, we also offer discounted rates for long-term rentals. Contact our team to get the best quote for your dates.
