In many ways students live a life in transit. On top of the study and lecture workload, exam stresses and, of course, the hectic social life, there’s the accommodation hunt and what to do with all your belongings. We can’t help with every aspect of student life, but Cinch Self Storage in Swindon can definitely take the stress out of keeping your possessions safe and secure.

1. Affordable and Flexible

Student plans can change quickly. When you’re in a bind and need to pivot your plans, the last thing you want is to find yourself tied into a long term storage contract.

Cinch self storage in Swindon gives you a distinct advantage. All our rental contracts are flexible, meaning we work with you to make storage work. If you suddenly need to leave early, you can, and we’ll refund you for unused days. At the other end of the scale, should you find you need a little longer to keep your things in storage, we’ll arrange that too.

Whenever your plans change, just have a chat with the local team and after a short notice period we’ll arrange whatever you need for your new plans.

2. Safe and Secure

Student life is expensive enough without having to replace lost or stolen personal belongings.

All our storage units are fitted with state of the art security systems, including smoke and fire detectors, intruder alarms and 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Swindon facility.

However long you keep your items in storage with Cinch, you have peace of mind that all is safe and secure. You’re free to get on with your life without fretting about your stuff.

3. Short and Long-Term Options

Maybe you need short term storage over the summer break between semesters. Alternatively, maybe you’re taking a gap year or undertaking a longer work placement.

Short term storage is typically defined as anything up to three months. It’s an efficient way for students to store all their belongings between semesters, especially if you’re studying in Swindon but your home town is some distance away. It solves the hassle of having to cart everything back and forth every few weeks. It also means you don’t have to try and find storage at home for the duration. Students who live in Swindon but study elsewhere often need somewhere to store belongings before they head off again to study.

Long term storage is defined as any time period longer than three months. You might find this type of storage contract useful if you’re packing up for an extended break from campus studies, whether that’s a longer-term placement or a gap year. It’s also very handy if you take part in seasonal sports and need somewhere off-season to keep bulky equipment. Another use is for study materials that aren’t needed on a daily basis. It could be text books or past essays, coursework or research papers.

Whatever your plans, Cinch can help make them happen.

4. Convenient Locations

Located at Cheney Manor Industrial Estate, we’re very handy and easy to get to. In fact, we’re just a five-minute drive from the Oxford Brookes Swindon Campus, and a mere seven minutes from Swindon town centre.

When you’re renting a self storage unit, ease of access is very important, and this includes things like convenient parking as well as transport connections. If you need out of hours access, this is possible via PIN code. Just speak to a member of the team who will be happy to arrange it for you.
