Storage Solutions Melbourne
Sometimes you just need a bit of breathing room. Somewhere to put the furniture while the kitchen gets ripped out. Somewhere to keep the whole house while you wait for the new one. Somewhere for the cot, the bikes and the boxes of Christmas decorations that have slowly taken over the garage.
Plus Movers offers storage solutions in Melbourne for all of that and more. The difference is simple: we're removalists, so we don't just rent you a room and wish you luck. We come to your place, wrap everything properly, take it into clean, monitored storage, and bring it back to whatever address you give us, whenever you're ready.
Storage That Fits Around Your Plans
Most people don't plan to need storage. It usually shows up because something else has shifted, like a date, a job, a builder's schedule or a relationship. So the last thing you want is a storage arrangement that adds more stress. That's why ours is built to be flexible: you pay by the week or the month, you can extend if things drag on, and you only need to call us when it's time to get everything back.
Removalist Storage vs Self-Storage: What's the Difference?
When people think of storage units in Melbourne, they usually picture self-storage: a roller door, a padlock, and a long afternoon of carrying boxes. That works for some people. But it's worth knowing there's another way to do it.
| Self-Storage | Plus Movers Storage | |
|---|---|---|
| Who moves your things in? | You | Our trained crew |
| Truck or trailer hire | You organise and pay for it | Included in our service |
| Furniture wrapping | Up to you | Blanket-wrapped as standard |
| Delivery back out | You do it again | We deliver to any address |
| Best for | Frequent access to small items | Moves, renovations and longer stays |
If you're regularly popping in to grab things, self-storage might suit you. But if you're storing furniture or a whole household, handing the job to a team that does this every day usually saves time, money and a sore back.
How Getting Storage With Us Works
Let us know what you're storing.
Use our free quote form or give us a call. A rough description, like "a three-bedroom house" or "just the lounge, dining table and 20 boxes", is enough to get started. Photos help us quote more accurately.
We work out the right space.
We'll recommend a storage size, give you the weekly or monthly rate, and quote the collection and delivery.
Packing, if you want it.
Short on time? Our packing service boxes everything up and labels it with storage in mind. That means sturdy boxes that stack well and clear labels so you can find things later.
Collection day.
Our crew wraps your furniture, loads the truck and takes everything to storage, where it's placed carefully rather than thrown in.
Delivery day.
Call us when you're ready. We'll bring it all to your chosen address, carry it inside and reassemble anything we took apart.
Getting Your Belongings Ready for Storage
Label clearly. Write the contents and the room on each box. Months later, you'll be glad you did.
Prepare your whitegoods. Defrost fridges and freezers at least a day ahead, and dry out washing machines so nothing smells musty later.
Take photos. A quick record of your furniture and valuable items is handy for peace of mind.
Set aside anything you might need. Let us know about items you could need before the full delivery, so they can be stored where they're easy to reach.
Keep the essentials with you. Documents, medications, chargers and valuables should stay with you, not in storage.

Getting Cheap Storage in Melbourne Without Cutting Corners
People searching for cheap storage in Melbourne often compare weekly unit prices and stop there. The smarter comparison is the total cost. That includes the space, plus truck hire, fuel, your own time, and the cost of anything damaged by rushed loading.
A few things genuinely lower your bill:
Store less. Sort through before collection day and let go of what you don't need.
Pack yourself if you can. Leave only the furniture and fragile items for us.
Combine trips. If you're moving house anyway, sending some items to storage on the same day avoids a separate collection.

Keep the essentials with you. Documents, medications, chargers and valuables should stay with you, not in storage.
Use sturdy boxes. Boxes in storage get stacked, so pack them full and use strong ones. Half-empty or flimsy boxes can crush under the weight.
