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.
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.
How Much Storage Space Do I Need?
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?

The Advantages of Student Storage with Blue Bear
No matter which location you choose for your student storage services, they all come with the same great benefits.
A Secure Storage Solution for Students
Students can come and go from all our sites during opening hours, safe in the knowledge that they don’t need to worry about their possessions—we’ve got them covered.
We’ve done all the work to ensure that every self-storage site is securely fenced and has monitored CCTV and recorded gate opening systems.
Each student storage unit is modern, clean, and tidy, and we use high-grade padlocks that are further protected by a lock box. Only customers can open their units at each storage facility.
A Convenient Storage Option for Students
As well as being secure, our storage services are convenient.
We understand any student storing items with us will want regular access to their stuff before and during term times and have a short, four-week notice period.
Students storing their belongings at our sites can drive straight up to their container, open the door, and immediately get access to the items stored inside.
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.
Of course, you’re free to use a third-party UK insurance policy, and in those cases, we do request written proof that any belongings you store in our units have some level of cover.
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.
