How does Shurgard determine its rental prices?
The rental price is determined by several elements:
- Location: rental prices can vary from one Shurgard location to another. Renting a unit in the city centre can be more expensive.
- Unit size: our storage units range in size . The larger your unit is, the cheaper by square feet.
- Unit features: depending on the level of accessibility of the unit, rental prices can vary. If you want to drive a vehicle directly to the door of your unit, it will be more expensive. Alternatively, if you don’t mind using the lift or your unit being an irregular shape, the rental price will be cheaper.
What is included in the price?
- Access to your unit 7 days a week between 6am and 11pm (some locations may have slightly different access hours, see your location page)
- Parking at the facility
- Expert advice and customer service on-site
- Use of our trolleys to easily load and unload
What is not included in the price?
These are the only extra costs new customers may need to pay:
- A one-off administration fee
  We charge a one-off administration fee of £20 when you sign your first contract with us. Returning customers don’t have to pay this fee.
- Lock
  You may need to buy a new, sealed lock for £14.90 if your own lock does not fit, to guarantee no one else can access your storage unit.

- SHURProtect (goods protection)
  Although we make sure all our stores are fully insured, for your own peace of mind and protection, you’ll need to get protection for your stored items against loss or damage.
  Our rental prices can’t include the fee for SHURProtect because the fee of this service depends on the maximum protection you need to protect your interests. The replacement value of your goods shall define the level of protection you need.
