What does mobile self storage cost in Chelsea?
Here, we’ll be taking a look at how our mobile self-storage service works in Chelsea – and crucially, how much it costs.
How mobile self-storage can save you time, stress and money
If you’re new to the concept of mobile storage, here’s how it works.
Our trained, experienced team of movers bring a portable storage unit to your address, where it is carefully packed and loaded. The unit is then securely stored away in one of our facilities, and you can simply arrange for it to be delivered at a date, time and location that suits you.
It’s that simple, but it saves you having to load up the car, drive to our facility, unload and pack a unit yourself. It’s much quicker, easier and more convenient, and you can save yourself the aches and pains (not to mention dropped boxes and broken items) of moving stuff into storage.
You might think that such a door-to-door service would cost a fortune, but it’s actually much more affordable than you might think. In fact, it can even be cheaper than ordinary self-storage – although it depends how much space you need and how long you need storage for.
In an expensive area like Chelsea, where storage costs can be very high, this can be a real game- changer.
How much does mobile self-storage cost in Chelsea?
So, how much can you expect to pay for mobile self-storage in Chelsea and Battersea? The main factor will be the size of unit you need.
Here at Kiwi Storage, we offer our mobile storage containers in one standard size – a 35 square metre ‘Kiwi Cube’. This measures 2.4m (L) x 2.2m (H) x 1.5m (W) (or 8ft x 7ft x 5ft) and is surprisingly spacious. You can have just one, or add more Kiwi Cubes if you need more space.
Prices start at just £82.50 (plus VAT) per Kiwi Cube, making it a very affordable option. There is also a one-off collection charge of £99 per Cube, but only if you’re storing for under three months.
Interested in standard self-storage instead? We have a facility nearby on Stewart’s Road in Battersea, with 24/7 security, convenient access and plenty of parking. It’s close to all major transport links, and is less than 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of Chelsea.
Tips for reducing your self-storage costs
If you’re storing on a budget, there are a few ways you can reduce the cost of self-storage in Chelsea. Here are some tips for keeping costs down:
- Declutter before you store – the more you can get rid of, the less space you’ll need. So before storing, ask yourself if you really need to keep everything
- Pack smart – with some clever, Tetris-style packing, you can save a lot of space in each box. And fewer boxes means less storage space required, which could make your storage bill a little cheaper.
- Choose the right size unit – use our handy space estimator tool to get the right size unit, as you’ll be paying for space you don’t need if you choose a unit that’s too large.
- Factor in extra costs – when working out how much storage will cost you, make sure you consider additional costs such as insurance, packing materials or extra locks. Plus, the cost of van hire and/or petrol (this is one of the key costs you don’t have to worry about with
mobile self-storage)
