If you’ve been searching for storage in Lincoln and wondering how to fit it around a busy life, a rural property, or a home renovation, Storage2u has a better answer than the traditional storage park model. We deliver a clean, secure mobile storage unit directly to your Lincoln address, you load it at your own pace, and we take it to our monitored indoor depot until you need it back.
Lincoln is a growing community south-west of Christchurch, and more families and businesses here than ever need flexible, reliable storage. Whether you’re a Lincoln homeowner waiting on a new build, a landlord managing a rental between tenants, or a local business needing secure off-site document storage, Storage2u’s mobile approach means no driving to a storage facility and no hiring a truck just to move your own things.
Our Lincoln self storage units are purpose-built for residential and business use – not repurposed shipping containers. The timber interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch’s climate can cause in less well-designed units. That protection matters whether you’re storing a bedroom suite for three months or business equipment for the better part of a year.
Storage2u is a family-owned business run by Sue and Paul from their depot in Upper Riccarton. They’ve been serving Christchurch households and businesses since 2011. When you call, you speak to the people who will actually deliver and collect your unit – there’s no call centre, no automated booking system, and no stranger ever enters the warehouse. Paul is the sole person with access to the storage depot, which means your belongings are genuinely secure.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable mobile unit and packing supplies to your Lincoln property. We position the unit wherever suits you best – driveway, yard, or alongside the garage – so loading is easy and entirely on your schedule. No rush, no time limit.
Step 2
Once you’re ready, we collect the loaded unit and transport it to our 24/7 security-monitored indoor depot in Christchurch. Your belongings are stored indoors, off the ground, and away from the elements for as long as you need – weeks, months, or longer.
Step 3
When you want your things back, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll deliver the unit to your nominated Lincoln or Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time. Need a hand unloading? Ask and we’ll sort it.

Storage2u makes student storage in Canterbury simple. We deliver a portable storage unit straight to your flat, so you don’t need a trailer, tow ball, or ute. You can load the unit yourself while you finish exams, or our team can help you pack it to save time and stress.
Once packed, we store the unit securely over the summer. When you return to Canterbury, we deliver it back to your new flat or wherever you need it. Minimum storage period is one month.
Yes. Most students only have a bed, drawers, clothes, and a few extra items, so sharing a unit is a great way to keep costs down. You can share with flatmates or friends, even if they live at different addresses. We’ll help make it work.
Our depot is in Upper Riccarton, approximately 20 kilometres from Lincoln. The travel distance is factored into our pricing, which we’ll confirm when you get in touch for a quote. There are no surprise fees – we’ll give you a clear all-in figure before you commit to anything.
Absolutely. Our driver and truck are comfortable with rural access, gravel driveways, and larger properties. Just let us know what the access situation is like when you enquire and we’ll make sure the delivery works smoothly. We’ve helped plenty of lifestyle block owners in the Canterbury region over the years.
We offer both short-term and long-term storage, and we’re flexible about minimum periods. If you only need a unit for a few weeks – say, during a renovation or between tenancies – get in touch and we’ll work something out. We’d rather find a solution that suits you than turn away a job that doesn’t fit a rigid minimum.
Yes. Our business storage service works exactly like the household version – we come to you, collect the loaded unit, and store it at our secure depot. For businesses, we can also provide an inventory list and arrange scheduled retrieval of specific items. Call us on 0800 749 722 to discuss your commercial requirements.
We can work with tighter spaces than you might think – our units can be positioned on driveways, alongside fences, or in other compact areas. When you book, tell us about the access and available space and we’ll plan the delivery accordingly. If there’s genuinely not enough room, we’ll let you know in advance and suggest a solution.
