1. Stor-Age Self Storage Johannesburg City

Website: https://stor-age.co.za/stores/jhb-city

Address: 32 Rosettenville Rd, Village Main

Contact: +27 10 590 0255 / 0861 18 18 18

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Saturday, 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Stor-Age sits right in the heart of the CBD and officially accepts parcel deliveries directly on behalf of tenants. This unique service acts as a fantastic logistical hub for locals.

Our colleague personally used their package drop-off service last month, and it completely saved her from missing a crucial delivery. 

You get tons of flexibility here since leases start at just a one-month minimum. Plus, they offer everything from small luggage lockers to massive warehouse spaces for big furniture.

The security is solid, too, featuring 24/7 cameras and physical patrols. 

But you can’t access your unit on Sundays or public holidays, which can be annoying.

I would highly recommend to anyone in between places

This is my first time using a storage unit and the process was easy and efficient.  KG was really the star of the show for me (say BEYONCÉ🗣)…incredibly helpful, making sure I get the right options and understand everything as we go along. I would highly recommend to anyone in-between places or just in need of a storage facility with great people helping you every step of the way.

The facility is clean, secure, and easily accessible

I’ve had an outstanding experience with Stor-Age. The facility is clean, secure, and easily accessible, with excellent lighting and well-maintained units. The staff are incredibly helpful, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to assist. From the smooth onboarding process to the peace of mind knowing my belongings are safe, I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and hassle-free storage!

2. Space 6 Self Storage

Website: https://space6.co.za/

Address: 58 Juta St, Braamfontein

Contact: +27 10 206 9201 / +27 67 315 4600 (WhatsApp)

Hours: Monday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Tuesday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM | Wednesday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

Inner-city drop-offs can be a total nightmare with traffic and bad parking. Space 6 solves this by being located right next to the Mandela Bridge, so you just take a quick one-minute drive off the M1 highway, and you’re there.

They keep things simple with month-to-month leases. Storage-wise, you can pick a space ranging from a small 2.5 square meters up to a decent 17 square meters. 

Your stuff stays safe with a physical security guard on duty and 24/7 camera surveillance. The whole place is well-lit, so you always feel secure walking down the halls.

The main catch is that they’re completely closed over the weekend. Also, their biggest unit caps out at 17 square meters. So, they’re not the right spot if you need to store a massive multi-bedroom house.

My belongings were completely safe and perfectly preserved

Kept my furniture here for six months from December last, and i collected today, and i honestly had a total peace of mind. The entire process was seamless, and most importantly, my belongings were completely safe and perfectly preserved when I collected them. Highly recommend if you want secure, stress-free storage!” Tash made everything so easy🙏

3. Prestige Storage

Website: https://prestigestorage.co.za/

Address: 18 Webber St, Selby

Contact: +27 11 493 9997 / +27 74 777 0333

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Saturday, 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM 

Prestige Storage offers a complimentary staff escort to walk you right to your unit every single time you visit. It’s a fantastic touch that instantly makes you feel safer.

They built these units with tall 2.5-meter ceilings, giving you plenty of extra vertical room to stack up heavy boxes and awkwardly shaped furniture. You also get free access to on-site hand carts.

Plus, their dedicated indoor loading areas mean you can unload your truck entirely out of the rain. But before bringing your dusty items here, you might want to hire the best cleaning services to wipe your gear down.

Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to drop things off on Sundays. 

They also enforce very strict rules on what you can store. You can’t keep gas bottles, perishable foods, or high-value items like jewelry inside the units.

Safety is their number one priority

The place is always spotless

Safety is their number one priority- with prestige storage I do not worry about my assets getting stolen cause they have never given me any reason to doubt their services or storing my staff- I have been with them for 2/3 years and they have never given me reason to doubt their services or complain

Happy happy with Prestige storage

4. Xtraspace Self Storage Maboneng

Website: https://www.xtraspace.co.za/locations/maboneng/

Address: 268 Commissioner Street

Contact: 01 09 777 777 / 011 334 6195

Hours: Monday-Friday, 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Saturday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM  

Finding a spot that handles multiple business needs at once is pretty rare. Gladly, Xtraspace in Maboneng operates as a massive urban hub that uniquely combines garage-style storage, indoor vehicle parking, and flexible office rentals. 

A friend of mine actually runs his small e-commerce business directly out of one of their adaptable office spaces and absolutely loves the setup.

The sheer scale of this place is wild. You can rent tiny 3-square-meter spots or scale all the way up to a staggering 10,800 square meters. 

They also offer safe indoor parking bays to house extra cars or company trucks. Getting in is super easy, too, thanks to dual-street access from both Commissioner and Fox Street.

However, they don’t offer 24-hour access, and they’re completely closed on Sundays.

Amazing service

I was assisted by Raaes and he was so handy! I don’t know how many times I called him in a day, with questions and every single time, he was happy to assist.

The stuff even offered to help me move my stuff into storage, suggested which van I can use and what I may need to move in.

Amazing service!

5. UrbanStore – Storage Units Johannesburg

Website: https://urbanstorage.co.za/

Address: Store G10, 27 Staib St, New Doornfontein

Contact: 010 271 4123 / 083 856 5922 (WhatsApp)

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Saturday, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM 

UrbanStore skips the hassle of security deposits and lets you move your stuff in on the same day you book, perfect for a last-minute move. Their storage rooms have super high 3-meter ceilings, so you can stack boxes as tall as you want. 

If you’ve got valuables to store, they offer heavy-duty strong rooms for extra peace of mind. You also don’t need to hunt for packing tape or boxes, since they’ve got everything you need right at their on-site supply shop. 

Leases are flexible with just a one-month minimum, so you don’t have to worry about long commitments. 

The only catch is rental rates must be paid upfront, and they prefer debit orders instead of cash.

Additionally, there’s a strict ban on storing live plants, perishable food, or anything flammable, such as petrol.
