Storage Shuttle

Moving out for summer? We’re running a low-cost student storage shuttle between halls and local storage facilities. Book a space on the shuttle for just £5 and make moving out simpler.

How the Service Works

Students who book onto the service will be able to load their belongings into a large moving van (subject to item limits per student). You will then travel in a minibus to your pre-booked storage locker, where you can unload your items.

To book onto the service, simply purchase a ticket below for your preferred location. After booking, you will receive an email containing a link to a mandatory online form which must be completed in order to use the service.

Closer to the shuttle dates, you will be contacted with an exact meeting point for loading and departure.

Please note that to be eligible for the service, you must have already booked a storage locker with either Storage Giant or Safestore Newport Road, as these are the only storage locations the shuttle will visit.

What can I move?

We will be able to move yourself and a quantity of belongings equivalent to a maximum of 25 cubic feet to your pre-booked storage locker. To assist you to understand this, the following guides may be useful.

+ 1 cubic foot = standard rucksack

+ 3 cubic feet = a standard 80L holdall

+ 4 cubic feet = an extra large 120L holdall

If you have additional belongings beyond this volume, or wish to include larger or more difficult to move items (for examples bikes), we may still be able to assist, but you must diclose this when completly the typeform sent to you after completing your booking.
