Planning an adventure abroad, heading off on a gap year, or relocating for work? Setting off on a travel journey is an exciting milestone, but deciding where to store belongings while travelling can quickly become a source of stress. Whether you need storage while travelling abroad for a quick holiday, are searching for "travel self storage near me", or are looking for long-term storage while traveling, finding a secure, reliable space for your valued possessions gives you total peace of mind while you're away.

At The Store Room, we offer flexible, modern, and highly secure self storage for travellers. And thanks to our well located facilities, you can rely on our storage units for travelling UK wide. Think of us as your safe home base while you explore the world. We look after your possessions, allowing you to focus entirely on your journey.

Every travel journey is unique, and so are your storage requirements. Travellers turn to self storage while travelling for a wide variety of lifestyle and logistical reasons:

  • Long-Term Storage While Travelling: If you are subletting your home, renting out your property, or giving up your lease altogether to travel the world, long-term storage while travelling allows you to keep your personal effects completely safe.
  • Temporary Storage While Travelling: For shorter trips, extended holidays, or project-based work overseas, temporary storage while travelling provides a clean, dry, and temporary landing spot for your belongings until you return.
  • Furniture Storage While Travelling: Leaving large items like sofas, beds, dining sets, and electronics in an unattended property can be risky.
  • Self Storage When Moving Abroad: If you are an expat, emigrating, or relocating overseas for work, shipping all your possessions at once isn’t always practical or immediate. Utilizing storage before moving overseas gives you a buffer to settle into your new country before deciding what to ship, sell, or keep.

No matter your situation, our friendly local teams help you select the exact space you need so you never pay for unused square footage for your storage units for travelling the UK, or abroad.


Travel plans can change at a moment's notice. Flights get extended, gap years turn into career moves, and short-term trips evolve into long-term overseas contracts. That’s why The Store Room provides completely flexible storage while travelling.

  • Short-Term Self Storage for Holiday Travel: Going away for a few weeks or months? Our short-term self storage for holiday travel requires no long-term commitments.
  • Short-Term Self Storage for Business Travel: Working on an overseas assignment or secondment? Keep your essential home or office items safe with simple 4-weekly billing cycles.
  • Self Storage for a Gap Year & Backpacking: If you are setting off with a backpack for gap year storage or storage while backpacking, you might only have a few boxes or a piece of sports kit to store.

At The Store Room, the security of your personal storage while abroad is our number one priority, giving you complete confidence while living, working, or travelling hundreds or thousands of miles away.

When you trust us with your household storage while abroad or furniture storage while overseas, your items are protected by comprehensive, multi-layered security measures:

  • 24-Hour CCTV Recording: Continuous high-definition recording across all facilities, ensures secure storage while travelling.
  • PIN-Controlled Access Systems: Only verified, authorised customers can enter the facility using unique security PIN codes. These features make us a popular choice for storage before emigrating.
  • Monitored Intruder Alarms: State-of-the-art alarm systems actively monitor our entire premises 24/7.
  • Individually Padlocked Rooms: You secure your room with your own personal padlock and you retain the key or code. No one else has access to your storage while living abroad.
  • On-Site Storage Specialists: Our fully trained, experienced team conducts regular site patrols during opening hours to inspect facilities and assist customers with how and where to store furniture while travelling.
