1. BELFAST SELF STORAGE
Location: 102 Duncrue St
Contact: +44 28 9035 1313
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM
- Saturday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Sunday – 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Belfast Self Storage has been around for over 20 years, offering a range of units. From tiny 16 sq. ft. lockers to massive 700 sq. ft. spaces, they cater to both personal and business needs.
When we visited, we were really impressed with their covered loading bay. It’s a lifesaver in rainy Belfast. They even have a dock leveller and a forklift on-site for those moving larger items.
Security is clearly a top priority for them, which is reassuring. They’ve got CCTV, fire alarms, and intruder alarms, all monitored off-site 24/7.
We also liked that they have a shop on-site that’s stocked with packing supplies – super convenient.
Additionally, we appreciate that they offer some great introductory deals, like 50% off for the first two months on some units.
That said, some customers did mention they would have appreciated a staff greeting upon arrival.
Ensures customers can choose and adjust storage sizes to fit their needs
“We needed a storage unit temporarily while between selling our old house and completion on the new one. Darren was very helpful and allowed me to choose the storage unit I wanted. When it turned out this one was not large enough (my fault, not Darren’s!) he effortlessly sorted us out with an additional unit at a slightly reduced cost. Thank you Darren for all your help!”
-Samuel Holmes, Google Review
Allows pre-booking unit viewings for added reassurance
“From enquiry stage through to booking I couldn’t fault Darren at Belfast self storage. The whole process start to finish was seamless. Darren let me view the unit prior to confirming which was really helpful. The unit was very clean and easy accessible. 5 star service from Darren at Belfast self storage. Would highly recommend!”

2. Go Box Self Storage Ltd
Location: 2 Cliftonville Rd
Contact: +44 28 9600 5005
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday – 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
We were really intrigued by Go Box’s unique approach to self-storage. Instead of you going to them, they come to you.
They deliver a secure storage unit right to your doorstep, which you can load at your own pace. Once it’s packed, they whisk it away to their secure warehouse in Belfast.
We love that it eliminates the hassle of renting a van or making multiple trips to a traditional storage facility.
Speaking of their warehouse, it’s equipped with 24/7 CCTV and advanced alarm systems, so you can rest assured your belongings are safe.
A single storage unit starts at £60 per month, which includes VAT and £1,000 insurance cover! They also offer a handy trailer service to deliver the unit to you for a one-time fee of £54.
We did hear from a few people that they wished the boxes were a tad bigger. But overall, people seem to appreciate the convenience Go Box offers.
It’s a great option for student or even businesses needing to store inventory or documents. Plus, they have some sweet deals, like a free month of storage when you book for a year or more.
Ensures items are returned in perfect condition
“I’ve stored furniture with go box for over a year and can’t recommend them enough. The storage container is dropped at your home where you can fill it yourself and picked up the next day so totally stress free. All of my items were returned in perfect condition and it was even delivered to my new address on a weekend! great service and Sean is lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend for any storage needs. Thanks for everything!”
-Seana Grogan, Google Review
Accommodates last-minute additions to stored items effortlessly
“Excellent service and very friendly communication. Due to unexpected circumstances, I had to extend the storage period several times, which went very smoothly and easily, with considerable understanding of the circumstances on the part of Go Box. Another key matter is flexibility in the number of boxes to be stored. I first wanted to store 5 boxes, but had to add a laundry basket and bag at the last moment, which was also dealt with very smoothly. I definitely recommend it as the first choice for anyone looking to store their belongings.”

3. Low Cost Self Storage Belfast

Contact: +44 7980 093677
Operating hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Sunday – 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Low Cost Self Storage Belfast definitely lives up to its name. They have a good range of unit sizes, with options like 10 x 5 ft. units for £75 a month and even storage pods for just £50.
We like that they offer a “man and van” service to help you move your stuff – that takes a lot of the stress out of it.
Plus, the whole place is monitored by 24-hour CCTV, so you know your belongings are safe and sound. And the location is pretty convenient too since it’s near both Belfast and Lisburn city centres.
Just a heads up, though: it sounds like they can be pretty popular. When our team chatted with some of their customers, we heard that availability could be limited due to high demand.
So if you’re thinking of using Low Cost Self Storage Belfast, it’s probably best to book your unit sooner rather than later.
Offers a brilliantly priced storage service with exceptional value
“Brilliant and extremely reasonably priced storage service. I was able to organise with Marty (the owner) the collection and transportation of lots of furniture from Belfast into one of the storage pods while I was based in Wales. Marty was super helpful, responded to messages and phone calls promptly – he did a brilliant job of transporting and packing all the furniture into one of the storage pods to keep the cost down for me – thank you. Would highly recommend Low Cost Self Storage.”
-Tara J Murphy, Google Review
Combines affordability with convenience
“I have used Low Cost Storage now for a couple of months and I’m very happy with the service received. Marty, the owner is a very nice and helpful person always ready to help. We can access the venue all the rings we have been there with no issue. We have been given the codes to open doors for going when we need it. The size of our pod is good for our needs and the piece is unbeatable. I totally recommend Low Cost Self Storage.”

4. Xtra Space NI Storage
Location: 3 Alexander Rd, Castlereagh
Contact: +44 28 9694 4188
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM
- Friday – 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Xtra Space NI definitely seems to be a popular choice in Belfast, and we can see why. When we checked them out, we were immediately impressed by their focus on security.
They’ve got all the bells and whistles: electronic entry, 24/7 CCTV, smoke detectors – the works. It definitely gave us the feeling that our stuff would be safe there.
They offer a wide range of unit sizes, which is great. Whether you’re moving or just need some extra space for a while, they seem to have something for everyone.
One thing that caught our eye was their flexible rental terms. You can rent a unit for as little as a week, which is perfect if you only need short-term storage.
They are also conveniently located, which is nice. They’re close to major colleges and campuses in Belfast, making them a great option for students needing extra space.
Just be aware that their prices are a bit higher than some other places. But you’ll be getting a lot for your money from the services they offer, so we think their worth the money.
Equipped with a goods lift and trolleys
“Great place to store stuff during our house move, Richard helped with setting us up and kept in touch throughout. The unit was clean and dry, and the place is air conditioned with open tops to keep air flowing. The goods lift and trollies made moving stuff a breeze. Will definitely use again when we next move house.”
-Lucy Bell, Google Review
Combines affordability with convenience
“Immaculate and really well run spot. I took an outdoor unit (that’s available 24h) for some house contents for 2 months. The unit is lined with timber and finished to a high standard, temperature seemed very constant, bone dry. Lovely and secure with a key fob access, big floodlights and opposite the PSNI station. In fact every single person that came to help me move stuff remarked as to the very high standard of the place. Reasonably priced and easy to deal with when the work took longer than planned.”

5. House and Stock Self Storage
Location: 19-21 Balmoral Rd
Contact: +44 28 9066 0010
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday – 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- Sunday – 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
House and Stock Self Storage caught our eye with its convenient location on Balmoral Road, just off Boucher Road. It’s really easy to get to, especially with those major motorway links nearby.
They’ve got a good range of unit sizes too, from small 20 sq ft lockers to larger 130 sq ft units. We always appreciate that kind of flexibility.
And you don’t have to commit to a long-term contract either – they have rentals starting from just two weeks.
They seem to have all the basics covered, with loading bays, on-site parking, and trolleys to help you move your stuff. Plus, they have free Wi-Fi, which is always a bonus.
You can even buy boxes and packing supplies right there, and they offer a 20% discount for storage unit renters.
However, some of the clients we talked to complained about having some issues with getting their deposit back quickly.
Ensures every question is met with helpful and knowledgeable answers
“I’ve recently used this company. I gave it 5 stars as the whole experience has been five star. The staff have all been super friendly and helpful. Any questions I asked were answered effortlessly. And any changes that arose were easily dealt with. The site is clean and I feel like my stuff is safe. I really recommend them. Big shout out to staff member Patrick. He was a joy to deal with.”
