As a university student in Edinburgh or Glasgow, you’ll know that the end of term doesn’t just mean the end of exams, parties and looking forward to a break. It often brings the annual scramble to find storage for all your stuff. Or, having to face carting it all home again, only to bring it all back in a few weeks. You might even have completely different plans this year. Like travelling. But where are you going to put all your things when you can only take a backpack?
As the term wraps up and halls close, storage units fill up fast – and prices can spike.
Whatever your summer break plans are looking like, let us take the baggage out of your belongings. Len’s is ready to help with the right self-storage solution for you, at one of our four self-storage sites across Edinburgh and Glasgow, at the best possible price.
We can help you smooth the transition between out-of-term-time accommodation and your next move. Supporting you with keeping your budget intact and helping you start the summer break with one less thing to worry about.
Here are five tips for getting the most out of your self-storage at the best price this summer.
1. Book early
We offer lower rates for students who book storage space in advance. Waiting until the last minute can also mean facing limited availability, with a unit size that’s bigger than what you need. Knowing your storage unit is secured allows you to plan your summer without the panic of last-minute searches or moving heavy items under pressure. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you know you’ll need it, book today.
2. Take a look at our exclusive student packages
We’re proud to offer the most affordable student storage in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our packages are literally designed for you – for students needing temporary storage solutions. Our set packages range from 10 to 25 square foot lockers or units that include two months at 50% off, Van and Driver pick-up and up to £3,000 of StoreProtect cover. That’s packages for a boot load to a bedroom full of your belongings.
3. Visualise your stuff with our space estimator tool
You might not know how much storage space you need and we’re ready to help you quickly! Use our space estimator tool to find the best Edinburgh or Glasgow student storage unit for your needs. It shows you the context of each space with a handy visual and a rough guide. For example, our 10–20 square foot locker roughly fits a small car boot load of stuff in. We offer everything from smaller self-storage lockers to larger units at our Edinburgh and Glasgow storage facilities.
4. Buddy up with a pal to share the costs
If you’ve just got a few pesky pieces you need storing, why not find someone else in our student hall or house who’s in the same position? A locker shared is a price halved! Or perhaps you need more room and need to get a whole unit rather than a locker. We have a range of size units, so it’s easy to share those too.
5. Still not sure what you need? We’re here to help.
You can give us a call or use the live chat on our website. We’ll help you work out what size locker or unit you need, and if you need any extras, like packaging supplies. And we’ll make sure you get the best deal. It’s also worth noting that if your plans change for any reason, you can still downsize or upsize the space you need on your move-in day. We’re very flexible like that.
So, what’s in store for your summer?
