Community storage vs self storage
The main differences between peer-to-peer storage and self storage.
See comparison
Our storage facilities are surrounded by high, secure fencing to deter unauthorised access, adding an extra layer of security around our storage locations.
Both our entries and exits are controlled by gates that require a personal code to open.
Your personal access code will allow you to enter our storage facility and access your storage area.
You can use our Shurgard App to open gates, doors, and elevators with just one touch on your phone. This means you no longer need to manually enter your access code each time you visit.

We use surveillance cameras to watch all entrances, exits, and other areas of our storage facilities to make sure your belongings are safe.
Our facilities are also equipped with alarms alerting us in case of any unauthorised access.
Our lights are automatically turned on when they sense motion, ensuring you can see clearly at all times.
You are the only one with the key to your locked storage unit – even our staff does not have access.
We have smoke detectors to detect smoke early, alerting our monitoring centres and starting fire suppression to protect your belongings.
Our manual push buttons are located in convenient spots for customers to use in case of emergency.
We also have fire doors to prevent the spread of fire.
We have an identity check process for new customers before granting them access to our facilities. That way we can make sure that only customers can access our facilities.
Variety of unit sizes
We have a range of storage sizes – so if you don’t have many things, you won’t end up paying for space you’re not using.
Safe and secure
Our premises are secured with surveillance cameras, perimeter fencing, alarms, individual access codes. You can access your unit with your own lock and key.

Only you can access your storage unit. We offer free and extended access hours, 7 days a week, so you’re free to store or pick up things whenever you need to.
No long-term commitment
Our self storage contracts are completely flexible. You just have to inform us 30 days before moving out.
