U Store It has almost everything you’re looking for in a self-storage facility. Multiple branches, discounts, a variety of storage options, short-term rentals, and more—this company offers it.

To start with, U Store It has 6 locations across Ireland, 4 of which are in Dublin and 1 in the Belfast, UK. They’ve got multiple storage sizes to choose from, so clients can easily find one that’s suited to the number of items they need to store.

Moreover, to give their customers a better idea of what storage size to avail of, their website features a size guide.

For instance, their 20 sq ft storage unit can stock 50 medium boxes or one large carload, while their 100 sq ft storage unit can contain 250 medium boxes or four transit van loads, and so on.

Furthermore, their minimum rental period is less than a month—you can rent a storage unit for as short as 2 weeks. You have unlimited access to your stuff during their operating hours. (Access beyond office hours can be arranged subject to U Store It’s terms and conditions.)

U Store It’s security features seem tight as well. They have 24-hour CCTV, and each unit is locked using your own padlock. You can only access the storage area via a specific code for each client.

In addition, each unit is equipped with its own alarm which can only be activated/deactivated using the client’s specific code.

Storage City is another self-storage facility that offers a range of storage units, so this means they accommodate small or big amounts of items. Their smallest unit is a mini pod (11 sq ft) while their largest is a 20 ft container which can contain up to 50 boxes.

Meanwhile, what’s unique about Storage City is that they also lease offices and commercial units aside from their storage containers.

Storage City’s website also features a size chart to help its customers gauge their storage sizes. They provide 7-day access and week-to-week rentals, which is great if you only need temporary storage. 

And if you want to move out, Storage City requires a 7-day notice.

One downside is that we didn’t find any mention of discounts such as for long-term leases, prepayment, etc.

24/7 access granted via an electronic gate system

Titan Containers was founded by Layland Barker in 1987. They are not your usual self-storage facility because they are, perhaps, the largest privately owned company supplying shipping and storage containers for a vast multitude of applications.

In talking about self-storage, we can definitely recommend them because they have multiple branches all over Ireland. In their Waterford branch, they have a 24/7 electronic gate system.

With this, you are granted to enter and go to your storage no matter what time of the day it is.

Even though they only have 3 mentioned storage sizes on their website, you may still contact them and ask if they offer smaller sizes and they will not hesitate to help you.

Pros

  • Competitive prices
  • Various room sizes from micro to large at most sites

Cons

  • Services may be improved

Customer Reviews

Here is a testimonial from one of their clients:

“Thank you very much for your services and professionalism. The container has been well delivered! The installation team on site was very effective. We are looking forward to collaborating further with you in the future for other locations.”

OPERATING HOURS7:00 am to 11:00 pm (Monday – Sunday)

Located on the N25 Cork-Waterford Road, Bigbluebox self-storage offers 20 ft x 8 ft x 8.5 ft or 160 sq ft shipping containers for €150 a month.

In terms of security, these containers are double locked and monitored 24/7. It’s completely dry and free of vermin and other hazards, so storing fragile material such as paper is also possible.

You can’t access your things 24/7, but you may do so all week long, between 7:00 am to 11:00 pm. And if you need help with moving your things, Bigbluebox can provide assistance by referring you to their recommended mover.

On the other hand, as you may have noticed, this storage facility is only limited to 160 sq ft shipping containers. Hence, to get your money’s worth, you’ll need to store a huge amount of stuff.

Thus, they’re most probably ideal for business clients who need to store multiple boxes of documents, equipment, and such.

Pros

  • All-week access
  • 24/7 security
  • Has pricing info

Cons

  • Only offers 1 type of storage facility
  • Limited info on security features
  • No mention of discounts
  • Access is not 24/7

OPERATING HOURS24/7

You can easily find Rent-A-Box in the county as they’ve got multiple storage facilities across Waterford, specifically in Six Cross Roads, Kilcohan, and Ballindud. Their Six Cross Roads branch, in particular, is just 5 minutes from Waterford City

And because their storage units are accessible 24/7, there’s no need to worry about opening/closing hours. You can get your things at your own convenience.

They offer 20 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft containers, and based on the pictures on their website, Rent-A-Box’s storage facilities look pretty neat. The units are checked daily and secured with a padded lock.

There’s also CCTV monitoring, but if you’re really concerned about security, their Kilcohan facility is more secure as it’s located indoors, according to them.

Nevertheless, as we mentioned earlier, Rent-A-Box only offers 20 ft containers, so your storage options are very limited. And in terms of money perks, they didn’t mention any discount offers such as for long-term leases and so on.

Pros

  • Multiple branches
  • Six Cross Roads branch is only 5 min from city
  • 24/7 access

Cons

  • Minimum of 1 month rental term
  • No mention of discount offers
  • Only offers 1 type of storage facility
  • No pricing info

“We went traveling for a year and needed somewhere to store out belongings. Rent A Box made it really easy to signup and move all out stuff in. Rent A Box felt safe and secure, the space was super clean and the 24 hour access meant it was easy to get to when we got back.” -Katie Kavanagh

Tips for Selecting a Self-storage Facility

If this is your first time storing your belongings in a self-storage unit, you’ve got to take note of some things:

Rental period

Not all self-storage companies offer the same minimum rental period. For some, this could be 1 month, and for others, this could be 2 weeks or less.

So, this would depend on your needs. If you only need temporary storage, you might not get your money’s worth if the self-storage facility’s minimum rental period is way longer than the time you need to store your things.

Security

Another vital point to consider is security, especially if you’re storing company equipment, important documents, and other items of value.

How secure is the storage facility? Are there CCTVs in place? If so, are they operational 24/7? What about other security features such as smoke detectors, fire alarms, pest control, etc.?

Storage size options

Again, this is not something that’s uniform across different self-storage facilities. Some have a variety of storage sizes while others only offer shipping containers (as you may have noticed from our featured choices).

That’s why it’s a good idea to check out several self-storage facilities. There may be one offering a storage unit that’s better suited to your belongings.

Access

Don’t forget accessibility! This refers to how often you can access your belongings. Does the company provide 24/7 access? Or are you only allowed to get your things during their operating hours?

And if they offer an option to access your things 24/7, inquire if this requires higher fees.

Moreover, consider the storage unit’s location. If you need to access your things a lot, then pick a self-storage facility that’s not too far from your residence, along the road, and so on.

Special offers

Some self-storage facilities offer a variety of discounts. For instance, if you’re leasing their storage unit for a long time, they can give this to you at lower rates.

Or perhaps if you pay in advance, that may also earn you some discounts.

In any case, ask about their discounts and special offers to see if you’re a candidate for any.
