Looking for storage in Riccarton and want to skip the hassle of hiring a van and driving across town? You’ve found the right team. Storage2u offers self storage in Riccarton that works completely differently from a traditional storage park – we bring a clean, secure mobile unit directly to your door, you load it at your own pace, and we take care of the rest.
Whether you’re between homes, decluttering, renovating a property, or simply need to free up space, Riccarton storage with Storage2u is one of the most affordable and stress-free options in Christchurch. Our depot is based in Upper Riccarton, so if you need storage units in Upper Riccarton or anywhere in the surrounding suburbs, we’re right on your doorstep.
Our portable mobile storage units are purpose-built for residential and business use – not repurposed shipping containers. That matters in Christchurch’s climate. The timber interiors help regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that can damage furniture, clothing, and documents. For anyone searching for reliable riccarton self storage, that kind of protection makes a real difference over weeks or months.
Storage2u is a family-run business based right here in Upper Riccarton. Sue and Paul have been helping Christchurch residents store their belongings since 2011. There are no faceless call centres or automated booking systems – just a real local team who will listen to your situation and recommend the right unit size, whether that’s a compact 6 Pack for boxes and small items or a 12 Pack for a full two-bedroom flat.
How It Works

We deliver your Storage2u portable mobile unit and packing supplies to your Riccarton address. We park the unit exactly where you want it on your property so loading is straightforward and completely at your convenience – no rush, no time pressure
Step 2
When you’re ready, we pick up your loaded unit and transport it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor storage depot in Upper Riccarton. It stays there for as long as you need – a few weeks or a few years, your call.

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.

If you’re anywhere in the greater Riccarton area – including Sockburn, Bryndwr, Fendalton, Avonhead, and beyond – we can deliver a mobile storage unit to your door.

In most cases we can arrange delivery within one to two business days of confirming your booking. If you need a unit urgently, call us directly on 0800 749 722 and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. We prefer to avoid weekend deliveries due to family commitments, but we’re happy to discuss your situation.
No problem at all – just let us know. There are no penalties for extending, and we won’t pressure you to move out before you’re ready. Simply get in touch by phone or email and we’ll update your arrangement. Storage2u is built around flexibility, not fixed-term contracts.
Storage2u units are locked and stored securely in our indoor warehouse where no one enters except Paul, our operations manager. You are welcome to add your own padlock for additional peace of mind – we’ll let you know the lock size that fits. Just ask when you book.
