Let’s be honest – most of us don’t think about self-storage until we really need it. Maybe you’re moving house, renovating, downsizing or decluttering before a sale. Maybe you’re just tired of squeezing camping gear, tools and Christmas decorations into every spare corner of your home.
Whatever the reason, finding the right storage company to store with can feel overwhelming. You want security. You want a fair storage unit price. You want flexibility. And most of all, you’re after peace of mind.
That’s where Safeguard Storage stands out – we’re going to give you five reasons why storing with us just makes sense.
1. Security That Lets You Sleep At Night
When you’re wanting to trust somebody with your belongings, whether it’s your grandmother’s dining room table, business inventory or your entire household (which some of our customers have left behind while they travel), the main thing you’ll want to know is that it’s protected.
A secure storage unit isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. We know that, which is why we’ve designed our locations to take security extremely seriously – that’s why we’re called “Safeguard”, after all. For us, it’s all about protection.
We’re talking 24/7 CCTV monitoring, pin code gate access, individually alarmed units that you’ll hear from three suburbs away and in many of our branches, electric fencing. At Bell Block in New Plymouth, for example, the security is next-level with alarms on every unit, an alarmed electric fence and over 30 cameras sweeping the facility.
In Invercargill and Levin, it’s a similar story – electric gates and individual alarms on each unit add even more protection. So, what does that mean for you? It means you’re not lying awake at night, wondering if your belongings are safe.
It means your secure storage isn’t just a padlock on a door, it’s layers of protection designed to keep your items exactly where you left them. And here’s the thing: peace of mind is priceless. But at Safeguard, it’s built into your storage price.
2. Flexible Options for Real Life
Life isn’t one-size-fits-all, your storage shouldn’t fit that mould either.
Safeguard Storage offers a wide range of unit sizes across New Zealand, suitable for all types of storage needs. Whether it’s a smaller 3×6 unit in Waihi, a medium-sized unit in Hillcrest or a large warehouse in Hornby, there’s a flexible storage unit to suit your needs.
Moving house? Many of our locations offer drive-up access, which makes it easier to unload directly from your trailer or moving truck. Renovating and need storage for three to six months? Many of our units are perfect to fit the contents of a two to five bedroom home. Running a business? Our larger units and even workshop spaces are available in select branches.
Take Gisborne, for example. It’s not just self-storage there – it’s about purpose-build workshops. These spacious, powered units are ideal for mechanics, caterers, soil testers and other trades. Some even include kitchens and toilets. That’s more than a storage unit.
In Rotorua and Ferrymead, powered units allow customers to store and charge equipment, caravans or work on projects. In Hornby, well-ventilated warehouse units are perfect for long-term storage while travelling overseas.
The point is simple: whether you’re storing a few boxes or an entire home, Safeguard has a flexible storage unit that fits your real-life situation – not the other way around.
3. Customer Service that Feels Human
Everyone knows that great customer service makes all the difference. At Safeguard Storage, you’re not just another number in the system.
Many locations have dedicated on-site managers who offer personal walkthroughs, answer questions and make sure you feel comfortable from day one.
If you’re new to self-storage, it can feel a bit unfamiliar. What size do you need? How do you stack properly? What’s the best way to protect furniture? Having a knowledgeable team on hand to guide you through the process will make things so much smoother.
From your first inquiry to moving day, the focus is on making things easy and stress-free. That means explaining your options clearly, helping you choose the right storage unit and being transparent about your storage unit price so there aren’t any surprises.
When your storage provider treats you like a person – not just a payment – that’s when you know that you’ve made the right choice.
4. Flexible Contract Options
One of the biggest worries that people often have, when it comes to self-storage, is getting locked into a long-term contract that they don’t really need. Life changes quickly, settlement dates shift, renovations take longer than expected – we’ve seen it all.
This is why flexible contracts matter, we understand that storage isn’t always a long-term commitment. That’s why, whether you’re needing a storage unit for a few weeks, a few months or longer, our goal is to make sure you’re not forced into rigid arrangements that don’t suit your situation.
We’ve designed our service to provide a flexible storage solution for every customer, which means no fixed contracts when you sign up for a storage unit – it’s month-to-month flexibility with the right to cancel at any time.
This kind of flexibility is especially helpful for people moving between homes, students needing short-term storage and families decluttering before a sale – these are all situations that might not have a set end-date, so why force it? You can scale up, scale down or move our when you’re ready, all without the unnecessary complications.
And because your storage unit price is clear and straightforward, you can budget confidently. No confusing fine print, no awkward surprises. In short, you’ll stay in control – your storage works for you.
5. Storage That Grows With You
One of the best things about Safeguard Storage, is that we’re great at adapting as your needs begin to change.
Let’s say you start with a small storage unit while decluttering before selling your home. But a few months later, you need something larger during your move. Later, you downsize again for business stock or seasonal gear. Our facilities make it ridiculously easy to transfer between unit sizes, whenever availability allows.
This kind of variety helps to keep our storage unit prices competitive, but it also gives you options to choose from. Instead of paying for loads of space that you don’t really need, you’ll be able to choose the right fit from the start – or change as your situation evolves.
Growing families, expanding businesses, students finishing for the year and homeowners renovating will all benefit from having a flexible storage unit option that can adapt over time. So, whether you’re after short-term self-storage or a long-term secure storage unit, we’re built to support every stage.
It’s not just about today. It’s about having a storage partner you can rely on next month, next year, or whenever life throws you a curveball.
At the end of the day, choosing the right self-storage provider comes down to trust. You want a fair storage unit price, a genuinely secure storage unit, flexible contract options and the kind of flexible storage unit that fits around your life – not complicates it.
With strong security systems, friendly service, adaptable contracts and a wide range of unit sizes, Safeguard Storage ticks all the boxes.
