Shurgard has consistently been the cheapest option when looking for storage and setting it up was very easy. When I needed to change the size of my unit it happened very smoothly and I was taken to other units to be able to see the size before I decided. Excellent service and value for money.

Nikki was extremely helpful. Even though we were there just to gauge on storage sizes, she was happy to show us around and give us options for when we do decide.
