UBC Student Storage (2026 Guide): Summer & Move-Out Storage Made Easy

UBC Student Storage (2026 Guide): Summer & Move-Out Storage Made Easy

March 9, 2026

If you're a UBC student living in residence, summer move-out can be stressful. Whether you're flying home, heading out on co-op, or simply don’t want to move everything back and forth, student storage at UBC is often the easiest solution.

At Student Storage, we specialize in pick-up and storage services designed specifically for UBC students. We pick up directly from residence, store your items securely over the summer, and return them when you’re back on campus.


Why Do UBC Students Need Storage?

Every April, thousands of students living in:

  • Totem Park

  • Vanier

  • Orchard Commons

  • Place Vanier

  • Ponderosa Commons

  • Brock Commons

  • Marine Drive

must move out of residence.

But most students:

  • Don’t have cars

  • Live out of province

  • Are international students flying home

  • Don’t want to pay 12 months of rent for 8 months of school

Instead of hauling everything home, many UBC students use summer storage.


How UBC Student Storage Works

We’ve made the process simple:

1. Book Online

Choose your pickup date before residence move-out deadlines.

2. We Pick Up From Residence

Our team comes directly to your dorm building.

No trucks. No heavy lifting.

3. We Store Your Items

Your belongings are stored securely over the summer.

4. We Deliver Back in September

Schedule delivery before classes begin.


How Much Does Student Storage at UBC Cost?

Pricing depends on how much you store.

Typical students spend between $300–$600 for the entire summer.

This is often cheaper than:

  • Renting a storage locker in Vancouver

  • Paying for U-Haul

  • Buying new furniture in September


Why Not Use Public Storage?

Traditional storage means:

  • Renting a truck

  • Carrying items downstairs

  • Driving across Vancouver

  • Returning the truck

  • Repeating the process in September

Student Storage eliminates all of that.

We’re built for students.
