Storage in Cape Town — We Collect, Store and Deliver Back

PickupStorage is a Cape Town storage company based at 19 Fisher Avenue, Epping. We collect from your door anywhere in the metro, store your belongings in a managed warehouse, and deliver them back when you ask. R850 per month per 6.3 m³ unit, OUTsurance cover included, no deposit.

A Cape Town team, a Cape Town warehouse

We are not a national franchise with a call centre in another province. Our warehouse sits at 19 Fisher Avenue in Epping, minutes from the N1, N2 and Voortrekker Road, which is why we can reach the Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl and the Cape Flats on the same run. Our own branded JAC trucks and our own staff do the collection — no subcontracted drivers. You can phone +27 78 393 1322 and speak to the people who will actually be lifting your couch.

A different kind of storage in Cape Town

Traditional self-storage asks you to choose a unit, hire a vehicle, load it yourself and drive across the city. Our storage services in Cape Town work the other way around. We come to you, carefully pack and inventory each item, transport everything to our warehouse in Epping, and store it in a monitored, weather-protected facility across as many 6.3 m³ units as your items need. When you want something back — one box or an entire household — you request a return and we deliver it to your address. It is storage designed for people who would rather spend a Saturday living their life than wrestling a couch down a stairwell.

What makes it secure storage

Security isn't a marketing word for us; it's a checklist we can point at. Our Cape Town warehouse is access-controlled and monitored, and every item that enters it is photographed, labelled and logged against your name before it goes onto a rack. Because the facility is not customer-accessible, there is no foot traffic wandering past your belongings — only our trained team, working from your inventory list.

  • Access-controlled, monitored warehouse facility
  • Every item photographed, labelled and inventoried
  • No public access — staff-only retrieval
  • OUTsurance cover included at no extra cost
  • Weather-protected, dry indoor racking
  • Trained handling team for fragile and bulky goods

Simple unit-based pricing, not guesswork

Storage is billed at R850 per unit per month, and each unit gives you 6.3 m³ of capacity — as a guide that works out to approximately R135/m³, though storage is billed at R850 per 6.3 m³ unit per month rather than by the individual cubic metre. Tell us what you need stored and we'll work out the number of whole units it takes, so you book exactly what you need. Collection is a standard once-off fee of R600 from our Epping warehouse and is shown on your quote before you agree to anything, with return delivery quoted separately. If you'd like help loading or carrying, one person can be allocated per booked unit for a once-off R200 per person. There are no deposits, no admin fees and no surprise charges on your monthly invoice.

Who uses our Cape Town storage services

Our customers are rarely storage enthusiasts — they're people mid-transition who need space for a while.

  • Homeowners renovating or between houses
  • Tenants caught in a gap between leases
  • Families downsizing or emigrating
  • Businesses storing stock, files or office furniture
  • Landlords clearing furnished properties
  • Students storing belongings over the holidays

How the process works, step by step

First, build a quote using our online calculator — list what you want stored and you'll see the monthly cost and the collection fee immediately. Second, we confirm a collection slot that suits you and arrive with blankets, wrap and labels. Every item is recorded as it's loaded, and you receive the inventory. Third, your goods travel to the warehouse and go into managed storage, billed monthly in advance. When you want items back, message or call us, tell us what you need and where, and we schedule the return delivery. That's the whole thing — no queues, no access codes, no padlocks to lose.

Storage across the Cape Town metro

We collect and deliver throughout greater Cape Town. That includes the Southern Suburbs (Claremont, Newlands, Rondebosch, Wynberg, Constantia, Observatory), the Northern Suburbs (Durbanville, Bellville, Brackenfell, Parow, Panorama, Kraaifontein), the Atlantic Seaboard (Sea Point, Green Point, Camps Bay, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Mouille Point), the City Bowl and the surrounding suburbs in between. Collection is a standard once-off fee of R600 from our Epping warehouse and is shown on your quote before you commit, with return delivery quoted separately.

What we can and can't store

We store almost everything a home or office contains: furniture, appliances, boxes, bicycles, sports and camping gear, tools, art, archive files and seasonal stock. For safety and legal reasons we cannot accept perishable food, live plants or animals, flammable liquids and gas cylinders, firearms and ammunition, or anything illegal. If you're unsure about a particular item, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you straight away.

Why Cape Town customers choose PickupStorage

The short version: we do the lifting, you keep the flexibility. There's no deposit, no minimum beyond a single month, no need to buy separate insurance, and you only book the units you actually need. Add door-to-door collection, optional loading help and item-level retrieval, and the total cost of storing with us is usually lower than renting a self-storage unit plus a van — and considerably less effort.
