Student Storage for Glasgow Caledonian University

Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) sits on Cowcaddens Road in central Glasgow, just north of Buchanan Galleries, with around 23,000 students. Halls include Caledonian Court and Buchanan House. Most tenancies end in early to mid June, so summer storage is the easy way to clear your room without taking everything home. Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone applies in the centre, so it is simpler to let us collect.

How it works for GCU students

It is completely door to door. We send a packing kit, you pack at your own pace, we collect from your hall or house, we store everything for up to 16 weeks, and we redeliver anywhere on the UK mainland when you are back. See exactly how UniMove works, step by step.

Why students choose collection over self-storage

Self-storage usually means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. With Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone in force, driving into the centre is restricted. We collect from your door instead, store your things over summer, and bring them back when you return. No van, no heavy lifting, timed around your June move-out.
