Frequently Asked Questions About Storage on The Gold Coast

Self-storage is convenient for storing your belongings in a secure, lockable unit. At Rent-A-Shed, you rent a storage unit, load and unload your goods, and secure the unit with your padlock. Only you (or those you authorise) can access it. You can rent the space for as little as two weeks or as long as you need, with drive-up access for added convenience.

The cost of self-storage depends on the size of the unit you need. At Rent-A-Shed, prices are affordable, and we offer flexible payment options: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Discounts may apply if you pay for three months or more in advance. Check our website for specific pricing details.

Choosing the right storage unit depends on the volume of items and how you want to organise the space. Provide us with an inventory, and we'll help you estimate your desired size. Alternatively, use our online space estimator. Remember that tightly stacking items can save space, but you may prefer a larger unit if you require frequent access.

There are no fixed contracts at Rent-A-Shed. You can rent a storage unit for as little as a month or an extended period—whatever suits your needs.

By default, your goods are not insured. However, self-storage insurance is a low-cost, hassle-free option that can be set up on the day you move in. If you have home contents insurance, it's worth checking if it covers items in storage.

Security is our priority. Our facility features 24-hour monitoring, CCTV, and secure fencing. You lock your unit with your padlock, ensuring total control over who can access your items.

You can access your unit as often as you need to during our extended business hours - 5AM - 10PM. 

Only you, or those you authorise, can access your storage unit. Rent-A-Shed can keep a copy of your key to assist with mail delivery and we always keep documentation on who has accessed the unit. 

No hazardous or flammable materials such as petrol, gas cylinders, or chemicals can be stored at our facility for safety. Please get in touch with us if you are unsure whether an item is permitted.
