Self-storage hasn’t changed in decades… until now. For years, self-storage meant lugging boxes into a unit on the edge of town and hoping for the best. easyStorage turned that model on its head with a single vision: to disrupt and modernise the UK self-storage market and redefine what customers expect. From day one, our vision has been simple - to deliver affordable and convenient storage solutions that give customers the opportunity to use storage as a lifestyle choice.
Seven years later, this go-to self-storage provider has evolved. Creating simple solutions for customers: Drop & Store, Collect & Store, and Drive-UpSelf Storage. These options keep convenience, transparency, and affordability front and centre. Through this evolution, easyStorage has moulded the market with its technology-led, innovative solutions. So, we wanted to share 10 ways easyStorage has become the market leader…
Wes aid no more. No more hiring vans, lugging boxes up three flights of stairs, or waiting for a lift that’s been in use for an hour already. easyStorage cut out all the messy bits to ensure self-storage is as simple as possible for customers.
With the Collect & Store self-storage solution, you can book your storage to be collected right from your doorstep. Our team brings the storage unit toy our home, expertly packs it with your belongings, securely seals the unit, and then takes it to the warehouse to be stored – all while you have your feet up.Plus, when you need your items back, all you do is book a return and your unit is brought back and emptied at your doorstep.
Simple.Easy. No fuss.
easyStorage has invested around £1 million in bespoke technology. Our internal system, Vault, combines a booking platform, customer database, and communication hub, used by teams and customers alike.
Booking scan be made, invoices generated, calendars filled, data summarised and more!This all-in-one solution makes customer interaction effortless and streamlines the booking flow.
On top of that, easyStorage has invested in AI to ensure we never miss a beat and can always help customers - even out of hours. Eve, our new AI customer experience team member, has been refined over the last year to answer questions and support customers no matter the situation. Soon to launch, this has been an exciting development at easyStorage HQ.
Have you seen the prices at traditional walk-in self-storage facilities? Some of these prices are higher than my mortgage! And I’m sure anyone who’s even peeked at the prices would agree – they’re outrageous!
Luckily, we have easyStorage – who do exactly what they say on the tin – make storage easy and affordable. Sitting up to 50% cheaper than walk-in competitors, easyStorage prices start from just £10.50 per week (depending on location).
There was a gap in the market for affordable self-storage solutions that were uncomplicated and accessible 24/7. So, easyStorage introduced Drive-Up SelfStorage.
Here, customers can come to their unit’s day or night, access them easily using their phone’s Bluetooth, and never miss a beat. Perfect for business customers, these drive-up units are made of ventilated containers, with lighting and state-of-the-art security systems to ensure everything stays safe.
Plus, with static stairs, an upper level of smaller units is available for customers who need less space. These are perfect as extra garage space away from home and can be accessed anytime.

These solar-powered sites will not only power our facilities but also supply electricity to nearby towns and neighbourhoods – another reason why having an easyStorage facility near you is a good thing.
