Why People Use Storage

Storage is usually about timing, not just space.

Most people ask about storage because they have to be out of one place before the next one is ready. The storage plan needs to work around those dates.

Settlement is later than your move-out date
Rental keys are due back before the new place is ready
Renovation or building work has delayed delivery
You are downsizing and need time to sort things out
You need delivery split across more than one date
Furniture has to be collected now and delivered later

Access While Stored

Will you need to get to anything while it is stored?

If your items need to be stored after pickup and delivered at a later date, Moveroo can help arrange storage with the move. If you need to get to boxes or furniture while they are stored, a self-storage unit usually makes more sense.

You do not need access while things are stored

If the goods are being collected, stored and delivered at a later date, Moveroo can help arrange storage with the move.

You do need access while things are stored

If you will need to get to boxes or furniture while it is stored, a self-storage unit usually makes more sense. Moveroo can help you look for one, then arrange delivery when you are ready.

Your plans change after the quote

It is best to mention storage early, but move dates change all the time. If storage becomes necessary later, let Moveroo know and the team can check what is available.

Storage Pricing

Storage is priced after we ask a few more questions.

The moving quote form lets you tell us storage may be needed. From there, Moveroo will ask what needs to be stored, roughly how long it may be in storage and where it needs to be delivered later.

Storage is usually priced by the month, with a separate fee to deliver your items from storage when you are ready. The final cost depends on the provider, how much needs to be stored and how long storage is needed.

How long storage may be needed

How much furniture and how many boxes need storing

Pickup suburb and final delivery suburb

Pickup date and likely delivery date

Whether you will need to access anything in storage

Bulky, fragile or awkward items

Move Timing

Storage can make the dates easier to work around.

When pickup and delivery do not need to happen close together, there may be more room to work with available truck dates. That can matter when you are comparing a backload option with a move booked around dates that cannot move.

If the move is interstate and you are still working out which removalist option makes sense, start with interstate removalists .

Moving a vehicle too?

If your furniture needs storage and a car or motorcycle is also moving interstate, tell Moveroo early so the dates can be checked together where possible.

How is storage quoted?

Storage is usually priced by the month, with a separate fee to deliver your items from storage when you are ready. The final cost depends on the provider, the amount being stored and how long storage is needed.

Can I access my items while they are in storage?

+

Yes. It is better to mention storage early, especially when settlement, lease or delivery dates matter, but plans can change. If storage becomes necessary, let Moveroo know.

Sometimes. Storage can make timing easier when pickup and delivery do not need to happen close together, but the right choice still depends on the dates and move details.

What about cover while items are stored?
