Storage Built for University of St Andrews Students
Student Storage that knows the difference between Martinmas and Candlemas.
UniStore Scotland is a Scottish family business that has been moving and storing students’ belongings for nearly fifty years. We’re not a national app routing you through a London call centre — our drivers are local, our warehouse is in Edinburgh, and we know that DRA, ABH and Sallies aren’t typos.
St Andrews is a small town with a big international student community. Around half of all students at the University come from outside the UK, and you don’t want to be lugging suitcases through Edinburgh Airport with airline excess baggage charges of £75 per kilo over your allowance. That’s where we come in.
Whether you’re in halls, in a flat on North Street, or sharing a place out by the East Sands, we’ll come to your door, pick up your boxes, and store everything safely until Candlemas rolls around again. And because we know student budgets are tight, we don’t ask you to pay everything up front — 40% to lock in your booking, the remaining 60% only when we return your your stuff!
We proudly serve students from the University and all colleges in St Andrews.

International & study-abroad students
Don’t pay airline excess baggage. Store with us instead.
Going home for summer?
Around half the students at St Andrews are international. Shipping boxes to the US, China, Singapore, India or anywhere outside Europe usually costs more than a year of storage with us — and that’s before airline baggage fees of £75 per kilo over allowance.
Pack your room, leave your boxes with us in May, and your stuff will be waiting when you fly back in September. No customs forms, no shipping companies, no risk of your books arriving in pieces.
Studying abroad next semester?
Heading off on a year abroad to Hong Kong, Sciences Po, Berkeley or anywhere else? We can store your belongings for the full duration — 6, 9, 12 months, whatever you need — and have it all back in your new St Andrews accommodation when you return.
We charge per box per week, with full refunds for any unused weeks if you come back early.

St Andrews University Student Storage Questions

The most cost-effective way to store your belongings is usually through a “pay-per-box” storage service rather than renting a full self-storage unit. At UniStore Scotland, we offer budget-friendly packages specifically designed for students, ensuring you only pay for the space you actually use.
