Canterbury Self Storage

If you need secure storage in Canterbury, then finding it through Spacer is the best option. As many of our hosts are not professional storage providers, you'll save money on your monthly costs. In addition, you can usually find a much closer space to where you work and live. One of the significant problems with storage is that purpose-built buildings are far away, and access can mean a round trip of up to two hours. If you need a quality space close to where you live in Canterbury, finding someone who has space available but is not using it is the best solution.

When you search for suitable Canterbury storage, we'll show you everything available within a 10km radius. This can provide you with storage for nearby suburbs and those that are local to you. In our listings, you'll find spaces of all different sizes. We have units that can house a few boxes, all the way up to those large enough for a car or caravan. In Sydney, space is often at a premium, and if you need to clear out some household goods, but don't want to throw it all away, then a suitable storage unit is an excellent solution. To find the right unit for you, all our hosts have written detailed listings that include the size of the unit, what security options are available, and when you can access the unit.

What is the purpose of a storage unit?

A storage unit is essentially a secure place that you can use to store excess items. In most homes, you'll have things that you don't want to throw away but that you don't necessarily want to keep in your home. Another advantage of storage space is the security of valuable items. For example, you may have some documents or family treasures that you want to keep safe. Unfortunately, homes are not that secure when it comes to accidents, like fire and water damage. By keeping your valuables away from your home, it can be more secure from accidental damage. Storage in Canterbury is also perfect for securing backup data devices, where keeping a copy away from home or the office is ideal.

When getting a storage unit, you can choose to get one close to your home if you need regular access to anything you have there. If you don't need regular access, you can save some money on your monthly bill and choose a far away unit. At Spacer, we have listings for storage units in Canterbury and all across Sydney. If you're looking to save on your storage costs and don't mind a short drive, you can look at storage units in Unanderra, a suburb of Wollongong. The actual unit you choose can be determined by what you're planning to keep there and how often you need to visit. For example, if you're keeping documents for a business, you may prefer to find storage in Canterbury that is reasonably close. If you can't find adequate storage, we suggest searching nearby suburbs, including Marrickville, Bondi Beach, Camperdown, or Chatswood.

Are storage units safe?

One of the main benefits of using storage in Canterbury is that the units are considered very safe. All our units are covered by insurance to protect your belongings. This insurance can cover stored goods for up to $10,000 (subject to terms and conditions). Do note that only stored goods are covered by the insurance, not vehicles parked at the site. When choosing your storage, it is best to check what type of security the hosts include. Many storage units will include CCTV and others may include a variety of lock devices (key cards, combination locks, etc.). Our hosts will set the monthly price for their unit, and you may find that the more security they offer, the higher the monthly cost may be. At Spacer, we understand that protecting your items is a high priority, and we request our hosts to fill out as much detail as possible about how the unit is secured.

All spaces suitable for storage in Canterbury will have pictures attached, and this makes it easy to see the style of unit available. If you're storing precious goods, you may want to choose a unit with solid walls so people cannot see anything inside the unit. If you're storing household items that have limited value to thieves, then a locked cage is usually enough. Before booking your space, it is recommended that you thoroughly read the listing page to make sure you know what security is available.

How long can I rent a storage unit?

The length of storage available will be noted in the listing. Most storage in Canterbury is offered by people who own or rent a home or office area with storage space, but they do not have an active need for it. At Spacer, we match our hosts up with people looking for cheaper storage than traditional purpose-built storage businesses. The majority of our listings are for ongoing storage, and many hosts may request a month's notice when you want to finalise the rental agreement. If you need the storage for a certain length of time, you can arrange this with the storage space host.
