About U STORE IT

A self-storage facility on Rene Street in Springlands, Blenheim, with indoor storage units and outside space for cars, boats, trucks and containers. The site lists units from a single locker up to a 6 x 3 unit of about 45 cubic metres, and gives rough sizes against house types, from a few boxes to a four-to-five bedroom house. The units are described as clean, dry and purpose built. The site says only the names on the contract can access a unit, the whole compound is locked overnight, and the sheds are monitored with a laser alarm. The units are approved for insurance, but the owners do not provide insurance, so customers need their own cover. Access is seven days a week, weekdays from 8:30am to 5pm and weekends from 10:30am to 4pm, and outside those hours access is by appointment on weekdays. Reviewers praise the helpful, responsive staff, the reliable access and the secure, tidy site. One customer stored a car and caravan for five weeks, and another says the rent did not rise over 18 months. Some find the opening hours limited, though close to town.
