How do you compare to National Storage / Storage King?
Stash-It offers local ownership with Marcus personally available, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and a brand new purpose-built facility. National chains offer wider networks but less personal service and often charge setup fees.
Pricing & payments
Are there any hidden fees or long-term commitments?
No — Stash-It Dunedin has no minimum terms, no deposits, and no admin fees. You pay month-to-month with complete flexibility.
What unit sizes and prices do you have?
We offer a range of sizes from small lockers to large commercial units, ranging from $80 to $430 per month. Check ourbooking page for specific sizes and current pricing.
How do the rental payments work?
There are no deposits, admin fees, cleaning fees or any other hidden costs. All we require is the first month paid in advance and a minimum stay of 7 days. All unused rent is refunded on move out — it's that simple.
What happens if I need to move out early?
With month-to-month terms there are no long-term penalties. Just give us 7 days' notice to terminate the agreement. We can walk you through the exact steps when you're ready.
Storing your things
Do you sell packing materials or provide moving help?
Yes! We sell packing supplies on-site and offer free trailer hire for move-ins (terms and conditions apply). Just ask what materials you need and we'll help you out.
How do you lock the unit?
You provide your own padlock — we sell them on-site if you need one. This ensures you're the only one with the key or combination for your belongings.
Can I store my caravan, boat or motorhome?
Yes — you can store vehicles at our Dunedin location. Please call to discuss your specific requirements and available spaces.
Can I receive courier packages to my unit?
Yes! We can hold small packages in the office for you, or you can arrange with your courier to deliver directly to your unit.
Can I work out of my unit?
These are storage spaces, not workshops. Light work is okay, but activities that create dust, excessive noise, fire risk, or spill liquids that affect other customers are not permitted.
Rules & safety
How secure are the units?
We use AI cameras, CCTV, electric fencing, automatic gates and excellent lighting — plus monitored systems to keep your belongings safe and secure.
What can't I store?
Anything that's a risk to the property or people, including perishable items that attract pests, lithium-ion batteries, gas bottles, chlorine, acid, paint, petrol, items with strong odours or anything that can leak. For legal reasons you also can't store firearms or ammunition. See ourfacility rules for the full list.
Can I live in my unit?
Units are for storage only — living or sleeping in them isn't permitted.
Is my stuff insured?
We don't sell insurance at Stash-It Dunedin. If you have personal contents insurance it is likely covered under that policy — contact your insurance company to confirm.
