Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is storage in St Ives cheaper than in Cambridge?
A: Yes, typically much cheaper. Our St Ives facility is located just outside the city, allowing us to offer significantly lower rates than storage companies in central Cambridge. Plus, with our 50% off student discount, you can save even more. It’s well worth the short drive (or van trip) down the A14 or A1307 to save money on your summer storage.
Q: Where is the St Ives student storage facility located?
A: We are located at Lakes Business Park in Fenstanton (PE28 9RB), just a few minutes from St Ives town centre. We are easily accessible via the A14, making us a convenient option for students coming from Cambridge, Huntingdon, or surrounding villages. Our site offers plenty of space for you to drive right up to your unit door for easy unloading.
Q: Can I store my belongings here if I study at Anglia Ruskin or Cambridge University?
A: Absolutely. We support hundreds of students from ARU and the University of Cambridge every year. Because we offer drive-up access (unlike many multi-story facilities in the city), it’s much faster to drop off your furniture and boxes here. If you are grouping up with housemates to rent a van, our 160 sq ft units are perfect for storing the contents of a full shared house.
