You can call our team directly or get in touch online to let us know what size unit you need and how long you plan to store with us.

Paperwork and Terms of Rental

Whether you’re looking for affordable self-storage during a move or a more permanent solution for business stock, our agreements are designed to make the process quick and easy.

Understanding Rental Costs

Factors Affecting the Rental Price

The cost of renting a shipping container at our Adelaide facility depends on the size of the container, the length of your rental period, and any optional features you might need. Larger containers, such as 40ft units, provide more space but may come at a slightly higher rate than 20ft units.

Optional Add-ons (Insurance, Security Features)

While all our containers are secured within our gated, CCTV-monitored facility, some customers choose to add extra security measures or insurance for additional peace of mind. Our team can guide you through these options and explain how they work in our facility.

Accessing Your Shipping Container at Our Facility

How Access Works

Because we are a dedicated storage facility, your shipping container stays securely on-site at our Adelaide location. You’ll have access during our business hours, and our staff are always available to assist you. This ensures your items are kept in a monitored environment while still allowing you to retrieve or add items when needed. Check if our location services your area.

Optimal Container Placement within the Facility

Depending on your needs, we can place your container in a location within our facility that’s convenient for loading and unloading. If you have frequent access requirements, let our staff know so we can position your unit for maximum ease of use.

Using Your Shipping Container for Storage

Storage Tips for Maximising Space

To get the most out of your shipping container, store heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top. Use sturdy boxes, stack items evenly, and leave walkways for easy access. Our team can provide tips to help you organise your container efficiently so you can fit more in without compromising safety.

How to Secure Your Belongings in a Shipping Container

Our containers already feature heavy-duty locking mechanisms, but you can add an extra padlock for enhanced protection. Use dust covers for furniture, wrap fragile items securely, and avoid stacking delicate goods under heavy loads. This ensures your belongings remain in excellent condition throughout their stay.

Renting a Shipping Container for Commercial Use

Benefits for Businesses Needing Extra Storage

Many Adelaide businesses turn to our business storage solutions when they run out of space at their own premises. Our shipping containers are ideal for excess stock, seasonal products, archived documents, and large equipment. Storing with us frees up valuable workspace while ensuring your items are secure.

Flexibility and Scalability for Growing Enterprises

As your business grows, your storage needs may change. With Budget Self Storage, you can upsize to a larger container or rent additional units as required. This scalability means your storage solution grows alongside your business without the hassle of relocating or renegotiating expensive warehouse leases.
