Student Storage Edinburgh

We get it. Student life in Edinburgh is hectic. Tiny rooms, moving out for summer, piles of books, and maybe a bike or two taking up precious floor space. If you’re juggling uni deadlines and a social life, the last thing you want to stress about is where to keep your stuff. 

Whether you’re heading off on a gap year, going home for the holidays or moving accommodation, Kangaroo Self Storage offers local student storage in Edinburgh that's right on the doorstep of student areas like Newington, Marchmont, and your uni campus.

Why do I need student storage?

Moving out, moving in, moving around – student life is full of stuff. Students in Edinburgh face many challenges that could be easily avoided with self storage: 

• Costly rent and small flats: Edinburgh rooms are small, and when rent’s high, every square foot matters. Store your boxes, books and bikes instead of tripping over them. 
• Deal with the winter months: We all know how brutal the Scottish winter can be. Keep your items safe from damp basements and garden sheds that leak.  
• Declutter your life: Free up your room for studying, having friends over, or just chilling. A tidy space equals a calmer headspace. 
• Safe and secure: CCTV, coded access gates, and a friendly team mean no more worrying about lost or missing things in shared flats. 
• Flexible timing: Move in or out on your schedule with our access hours 7 days a week. Need student summer storage? Term start? You’re in control. 
• Affordable for students: With our 10% Lowest Price Guarantee and competitive prices, self storage doesn’t have to make a big dent in the student budget.  

Every summer, our Edinburgh units fill up with bikes, guitars and the things you can’t fit in a suitcase. See what other students have said.  

Where can I store my belongings?

We’re easy to reach from all the main student areas. Our self-storage facility is: 

• a 25-minute drive from the University of Edinburgh. 
• a 15-minute walk from Edinburgh Napier. 
• a 20-minute walk from Heriot-Watt University. 

If you’re living in one of the nearby student neighbourhoods, like Marchmont, Newington, and Bruntsfield, we’re also near those, too.  

In terms of public transport, we’re just a 2 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, which covers the 25, 34, 35, X28, X27 and X40 routes. 

How much storage does a student need? 

If you’re not sure how much storage you actually need, here’s the quick version: 

• Rent a storage room - perfect if you’ve got a whole flat to clear out, or big items like a bed, bike, or sofa. 
• Rent pallet space - ideal if you need to store just a few boxes, suitcases, or share space with flatmates.  

Need more room mid-term? No problem. Want to reduce your space after exams? You won’t get charged any fees for changing room sizes. 

Your belongings will stay neat and tidy in boxes from our onsite box shop, so there’s no need to worry about organising through items when looking through your unit.
