Nottingham is a very popular city amongst movers and tourists alike. In 2018, it saw the second-highest number of overnight visitors in the Midlands. With so many people visiting every year, it’s easy to see why many decide to use self-storage solutions for additional space. We can connect you with up to 6 verified container and self-storage companies in Nottingham, saving you both time and money when comparing quotes.

The companies you’re matched with will contact you directly to further discuss your requirements such as the services you require and the size of the unit.

We must highlight that whilst Compare My Move will connect you with storage providers, the company themselves will provide the quote.

    Container storage in Nottingham

    Before comparing quotes in Nottingham, you'll need to decide whether you require self-storage or container storage. With container storage, you can rent large metal containers that are in remote locations or warehouses. They are typically kept outdoors which makes them slightly more susceptible to extreme weather conditions. Self-storage units come in varying sizes but are located within a secure building.

    Rest assured, container storage is completely secure and the units can only be accessed by staff members and verified clients. All of our partners use active CCTV, with their containers under constant surveillance. Some types of container storage are actually portable with a wide range of sizes available, making it a more flexible solution. However, if you want to visit your unit, you may be expected to book an appointment first.

    The cost of container storage will vary depending on your specific location and the exact size of the container. However, it typically costs around £2 a day plus VAT.
