Best Self-Storage Options in Perth for 2026

Perth has dozens of storage options. Here's how the main types compare to help you choose.

1. Traditional Self-Storage Facilities

Companies like Kennards, National Storage, and Storage King offer unit-based storage at dedicated facilities.

Pros: Drive-up access, climate control options, various unit sizes

Cons: Expensive ($200-$500/month), requires transport to facility, access hours may be limited

Best for: People who need frequent access to stored items

2. Mobile Container Storage (U-Move)

A shipping container is delivered to your door. You pack it, and we store it at our facility or leave it on-site.

Pros: Door-to-door delivery, up to 50% cheaper, pack at your pace, flexible locations

Cons: Container is at our facility (not drive-up), delivery scheduling needed

Best for: Home movers, renovators, people wanting convenience and value

3. Portable Storage Pods

Similar to container storage but using smaller, lighter-weight pods.

Pros: Smaller sizes available, delivered to home

Cons: Less secure than steel containers, weather protection varies, often more expensive per cubic metre

Best for: Small storage needs

Our Recommendation

For most Perth residents, mobile container storage offers the best combination of price, convenience, and security. You don't need to hire a van, make multiple trips, or pay premium facility rates.
