Student Storage in Liverpool
Liverpool offers a fantastic student experience
Regularly voted one of the top British cities to study in, Liverpool offers a fantastic student experience. With prestigious universities and colleges, brilliant shops, cafes and restaurants, national museums and galleries, and of course the legendary nightlife, this historical and vibrant city is a home to an estimated 70,000 students.
Liverpool’s universities and colleges are located around the city centre, with many students opting to spend their first year in accommodation nearby. After making friends and getting to know their new city, many then choose to move out to popular student areas a short commute away.
As students move around the city, Big Yellow Storage and Armadillo Self Storage, a part of the Big Yellow family, offer safe, cheap and easy-access options for storing anything from beds and bicycles to socks and shuttlecocks.
Driving home for Christmas (and Easter, and summer)
Living in term time-only accommodation is a great way to save money, but does mean clearing out your room every time a holiday rolls around. Stashing clothes, books, bedding and tech you don’t need to take with you in a storage unit over the break makes for way less cramped drive home. Hang on to a unit all year round and only have what you absolutely need at the time in your room, making the most of compact student accommodation.
Storage for the holidays
With accommodation swaps highly likely as students make friends and find new house shares, a clean, damp-free, PIN protected self storage unit is a great place to store booksbetween addresses. No need to hire a van, cram everything in the car or rope in parents to ferry you back and forth.
Peace of mind while you’re away
If you’re visiting family, working away or travelling during the holidays and worried about leaving valuable items in your room for weeks at a time, book in a few weeks of safe storage at your nearest Big Yellow or Armadillo.
If you’re going to be out of town for a while, Big Yellow can even take in deliveries.
Make space in the box room
If you find yourself in the house share’s box room, a Big Yellow unit provides overflow space where you can always get at your stuff, leaving enough room to study and stretch out (until you get to bag the biggest bedroom).
Big Yellow and Armadillo Liverpool
Big Yellow Edge Lane
The facility closest to most universities and student areas is Big Yellow Edge Lane. A popular choice with students, especially those moving out of town during the summer months, Edge Lane is a purpose-built storage facility with individually alarmed rooms and staff on site.
Edge Lane’s sheltered car park is also a neat way to avoid carting boxes in the rain, and units start from just 5 ft sq, with 9 ft lockers proving particularly popular with students.
Armadillo Liverpool South
Armadillo Liverpool South is a short hop from the University of Liverpool Student Village at Mossley Hill and the popular student areas of Allerton, Wavertree and Smithdown Road.
It has roomy, external drive-up storage units allowing customers to park directly outside, perfect for safely storing furniture, sports kit, tech and bikes between moves.
Storage at Liverpool South starts from a 3ft x 5ft locker ideal for students wanting to store personal items, with the biggest at 300 sq ft, equivalent to a triple garage.
Armadillo Liverpool Aintree and Bootle
To the northeast and north of the city centre are Armadillo Aintree and Bootle. Bootle is a good choice for students living the quieter life in Everton while Armadillo Aintree, is located on Dunnings Bridge Road with brilliant access to the motorway.
If you’re unsure which size unit is the right size, our friendly staff can help figure it out. Some of our student customers decide to share a unit with a friend! The onsite Box Shop sells all the boxes and packing materials and the team can help booking vans or taxis.
