Self Storage Units for Rent
"HELP, I NEED STORAGE
NEAR ME!"
LOCK UP STORAGE
Searching for self-storage units near you? If you live in and around eThekwini, you may want to consider utilising one of our many KZN-based storage locations, including Pinetown, New Germany, Cornubia, Ballito, Umhlanga, Durban North, and Westmead. As an established storage company, we have units that cater to a variety of unique needs, including business, student, and home storage, as well as office space rentals.

What You
Can Store
With Us:
Our storage services differ according to location, but some of our offerings include caravan, jet ski, car, motorbike, trailer, plant equipment, and boat storage. All our locations offer business, student, and personal self storage. From furniture to antique items, your goods are safe with us and you can rest assured knowing that only you have the key to your unit/s.
If you are unsure about how much space you require, or the exact size storage unit that you will need at Lock Up Storage, you can use our handy Space Estimator or call one of our space experts. You can rent month-to-month storage units from 3m2 up to 56m2.
STORAGE UNIT PRICES
Pricing varies depending on the storage service you choose as well as the unit size.
But to give you a rough idea, some of our month-to-month rental prices start at R350 per month.
Making Storage Insurance Easy:
The responsibility to insure storage units falls on clients, and although we have put measures in place to keep your possessions safe, it is up to you to decide on policies that protect against floods, fires, riots, or theft. However, we do offer to organise your insurance for you through Hollard Group.
What Are Our Storage Sizes?
Each location has unique storage sizes, catering to those looking for small storage space (like students living in res), from as little as 3m2 to those searching for something larger, up to 56m2 (such as large families or businesses). Give us a call to enquire about your nearest Lock Up location to find out about the unit sizes offered. You can also use our storage unit size calculator to decide on the amount of space that’s best suited to your needs.
WHY RENT SPACE WITH LOCK UP STORAGE?
We aim to offer you the best value for money with storage benefits that work for you and consider your needs. We are one of the few storage companies that offer to collect your goods for free and help you carry them (Ts and Cs apply).

FREE COLLECTION! WHAT?
THAT’S RIGHT, WE COLLECT YOUR GOODS AND MOVE THEM INTO OUR STORAGE FACILITIES FOR FREE!
So you’ve rented a storage unit at the facility closest to your house, fantastic! But how are you going to get all your stuff there in your tiny car? Yes, it’s not actually possible.
Ok no problem, you’ll just phone the self storage company and ask them to help you out. But all you get is the manager telling you that you must go and spend more money hiring a trailer, moving your lounge and fridge and washing machine by yourself (hope you ate your oats). Then transport it to the storage facility, and oh yes, unpack it again into your storage unit.
And that’s why, at Lock Up Storage, we say, “Don’t pay more, we’ll come to your door!”. We offer FREE collection of your goods, with our in-house removal truck and team, to all clients staying over 90 days! And what about moving your items back, or perhaps to your new address once your house transfer has gone through? Well of course, you just let us know the distance and we’ll let you know the price. Simple and easy service!
* We collect your goods for free within 40km from our sites. And free if you are storing with us for over 90 days.

OUR SELF-STORAGE SERVICE REVIEWS
Feedback fills our happy tank. Read what some of our clients have to say about Lock Up Storage services.
“For nearly 10 years I worked with the Robin Hood Foundation, we had almost daily visits to the lockup storage they rent on the Pinetown Surprise Road premises where we stored and sorted donated items from the community. What a wonderful team! From the friendly and helpful security guards who sign you in and always greet you with a smile, to Liam and the team in the office who are always there to help. Last year’s upgrades to the premises were fantastic too ensuring that we could ‘grab a coffee’ or stop in at the always neat, tidy and clean ladies room facilities when we were packing and sorting. We even had times where we needed to print something and Liam and the team were more than accommodating! I’ve also referred James and his team to numerous friends and family and had fantastic feedback of how they went the extra mile. Well done Pinetown Lock up Storage team! You’ll always be first on my list to refer!”

James and his team provide a great service and the hands on approach makes it feel like you have stored your items in a Private Storage Bank. They are the best Storage Units in Durban.”
Simiso Sokhela
Managing Director
“I just wanted to thank James and his team for the excellent service we received! It was a pleasure to deal with their team – from the paperwork for signing up for the monthly storage, to the efficient team that arrived and loaded all our boxes and furniture with a smile! They even had to take a massive whiteboard over the roof to get it out, and even that did not phase them at all. Very rare in this day and age to get such good service, thank you!”

“Ukuphila Okuthinta NPO was founded on 03 Aug 2018. We are registered with SARS as a PBO. We assist underprivileged school children with school uniform and stationery. As a NPO we are dependent on donations to remain in business. We have been at Lockup Storage since April 2019. The Lockup Storage office that we have provides us with an office space that is ideal for our needs as well as our budget. The rent for our office space includes access to a small boardroom at no additional costs. The staff are very efficient and friendly and we have had no issues that we can complain about.”
