Our storage facility is located within Benfield Business Park on Benfield Road, Newcastle upon Tyne (NE6 4NQ). We’re easily accessible by car via the Coast Road (A1058) and well-connected by public transport. The site is just a short walk from both Walkergate Metro stations, providing quick and direct links to Newcastle City Centre, Jesmond, and North Tyneside.

This makes our Benfield Road site an ideal option for students, city centre residents, or anyone without access to a vehicle. Whether you're storing over the summer break, moving between flats, or simply need extra space, the location is easy to reach and convenient.

We are located at the rear of the Business Park opposite the Fun Shack.

Yes - depending on the size of your vehicle. If you're looking for car storage in Newcastle our container based self storage could be just what you need.

Storing your vehicle within a storage container provides both a dry and secure storage location, very similar to storing your car in a domestic garage.

Cars obviously vary in length, from a 3-door Mini Cooper measuring 3,821mm (12.5 feet) long upwards. So if you're looking for car storage we'd likely recommend one of our Large Storage units, which measure 20ft by 8ft.

A Large unit should be plenty long enough for most cars and will allow sufficient space to drive your car into the unit (and open the door to squeeze out), you'll also have plenty of leftover storage space in the remainder of the unit.

Our Large units are 8ft high and 8ft wide (slighltly smaller internally), so it's typically the width which is the tightest dimension, we do recommend that you double check your vehicle will fit, most cars should be OK, e.g. a Ford Focus is approximately 6ft wide and 4ft 10 inches tall.

Please also consider the ground clearence of your vehicle, most cars will be fine to drive into the contaniner, but some sports cars with very low ground clearance may have issues entering/exiting our containers.

Yes - container self storage is ideal for temporary storage while you move house. If you're moving house within the Newcastle area, why not consider temporary storage with us to bridge the storage gap you need.

If you're downsizing and need to store excess funiture, or if you want to re-decorate or re-carpet your new home before you move furniture in, storage with us can remove a lot of the moving stress.

All our storage is at ground level, this means you can drive up to all of our containers and easily unload from your car or rented moving van.

Our storage sizes mean we will have a size suitable to the amount of storage you need.

Our storage can also be cancelled at any time, and we refund for any unused days - so you only ever pay for the storage you use.

Note that prices vary per container size and location. You can find the latest prices by using the booking tool. Note that we charge a £25 refundable key deposit.

All our sites are fitted with CCTV, fencing, gated access and lighting. On top of that, we provide a free padlock for your individual store.

We always provide cleaned out containers for our customers. Our containers are weather proof and are fitted with ventilation rosters. If your belongings are dry, there is no chance for condensation. However, if you introduce water (e.g. through a washing machine that still has water in its tubes) there is a chance for condensation. To combat this, we offer absorpoles.

We offer 24/7 access, 365 days of the year (except our Middlesbrough site where we offer access 7am-7pm, 7 days a week).

Absolutely! As a matter of fact, a large part of our customers are business owners.
