When comparing storage prices in Melbourne & Adelaide, it's important to look beyond the advertised monthly rate. The total cost can also depend on transporting your belongings to storage, truck or trailer hire, fuel, access and how many times your belongings need to be handled.

With gobox, your storage unit is delivered directly to your property. You can keep it onsite from $240 per month or have it collected and stored at our warehouse from $299 per month.

MOBILE STORAGE VS SELF STORAGE PRICES

When comparing mobile storage with traditional self storage, the monthly storage rate is only part of the overall cost.

01

Consider transport costs

With traditional self storage, you may need to hire a trailer or moving truck, pay for fuel or arrange removalists to get your belongings to and from the facility. With gobox, the storage unit is delivered directly to you.

02

Consider double handling

Traditional storage can mean loading your belongings into a vehicle, unloading them into storage and repeating the process when you need them back. With gobox, you load directly into your storage container.

03

Compare the total storage cost

The cheapest advertised storage rate isn't always the cheapest overall option. Compare storage fees alongside delivery, transport, vehicle hire, fuel and the time involved in moving everything.

WHY MOBILE STORAGE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY

Mobile storage combines storage and transport into one simpler process, which can reduce some of the additional costs associated with getting your belongings into traditional storage.

01

No truck hire or fuel

The storage comes to you — no hire truck, no fuel and no repeated weekend runs between your property and a storage facility.

02

Pack once, move once

Your belongings go into the container once and come out once. Less double handling can mean less time, less labour and less risk of damage.

03

Flexible storage periods

Month-to-month billing means your storage cost can match the timeframe you actually need rather than locking you into a long-term contract.

Absolutely exceptional service dealing with Gobox from two years ago until now. Their drivers and customer service reps are so helpful, friendly and easygoing! They are very responsive and communicative. I never had to wait on the phone to speak with someone and my emails have always been responded to within a day. If you need your belongings stored I cannot recommend Gobox enough. The units are clean, well engineered and secure. Delivery is made super easy as well!
