What's the difference?
Indoor storage units sit inside a building and are accessed via corridors, while container storage is a drive-up unit you can park right beside. Both are secure and both give you your own lock and keys — the right choice comes down to what you're storing and how often you'll visit.
Container storage: the pros
- Drive right up to the door — load and unload in one trip
- No stairs or lifts, ever
- Ideal for bulky furniture and full house moves
- Usually the most cost-effective option per square foot
Indoor storage: the pros
- Climate-stable, enclosed environment
- Better for temperature-sensitive items like electronics and documents
- Easy to organise with shelving
- Great for smaller loads and frequent visits
Which should you choose?
If you're moving house, storing large furniture or doing a big declutter, a drive-up container is hard to beat. If you're storing documents, electronics or smaller boxes you'll dip in and out of, indoor storage is usually the better fit.
