Storage container hire is one of the most cost-effective storage solutions available — but prices aren't always easy to find. Here's a straightforward breakdown of what you can expect to pay, and what affects the cost.
What Does Storage Container Hire Cost?
At Chock-a-Block Storage, our pricing is straightforward:
- 20ft shipping container: from £150 per month
- Internal storage units: from £100 per month
We'll confirm the full cost, including the deposit, when you enquire, so there are no surprises.
What's Included?
Your monthly hire includes:
- Full use of your container or unit — it's yours for the duration
- 24-hour access to the site, every day of the year
- 24/7 CCTV coverage of the entire yard
- Drive-up access directly to your container (20ft containers)
- Secure perimeter fencing and gating
How Does It Compare to Self Storage?
Self storage facilities in East Sussex — particularly from national chains — can charge significantly more for equivalent space. A 20ft shipping container gives you around 1,170 cubic feet of storage. It's worth comparing like-for-like quotes for the same volume of space — our containers start from £150 per month.
With Chock-a-Block, you're also getting drive-up access directly to your door — something most self storage buildings can't offer. No lifts, no corridors, no wasted time.
Is There a Minimum Contract?
No. All our storage is available on a flexible month-to-month basis. Rent for a week, a month, or several years — whatever works for you. There's no minimum contract and no early exit fee.
