Your Self-Storage Questions Answered
Can I allow other people to access my self-storage container?
That’s entirely up to you. When you hire your container we give you two keys for the padlock, if you choose to let some else have access that is your decision and we respect that.

We issue a high security padlock with each self-storage container let and provided it is returned at the end the use is all included in the price.
Does Store Anything offer a price match or promise?
No, we are the most competitive self-storage facility in the area anyway.
