It is simpler than it looks. You rent a lockable, drive-up unit at **11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca**, you hold the access, and you come and go during gate hours. Here is the whole process, start to finish. We are locally owned, we have been operating for **over 20 years**, and we have **300 drive-up units** on one site. Call **(03) 4410 8566** at any step. ## Step 1: Work out your size Start with what you are storing, not the unit. A spare-room clear-out usually fits a 2.0m × 3.0m. A two-bedroom home usually needs a 4.5m × 3.0m. Boats and caravans start at 7.5m × 3.0m, with doors in the boat and caravan area 3,000 mm high. Use the [storage size guide](https://echucastorage.net.au/storage-size-guide?hsLang=en-au) to check item by item. Every size and rate is on [sizes and prices](https://echucastorage.net.au/sizes-and-prices?hsLang=en-au). ## Step 2: Check vacancy and reserve Vacancy changes daily, so we confirm it with you directly. There are three ways to start: - **Call (03) 4410 8566.** The office is open 9am–4pm Monday to Friday, and weekends by appointment. - **Use the [contact form](https://echucastorage.net.au/contact?hsLang=en-au).** Tell us what you are storing and when you want to move in. - **Email** info@echucaministorage.com.au. We will confirm a unit, the rate and your move-in date. If you want to see the unit first, ask; we can arrange a time during office hours or by appointment on a weekend. ## Step 3: Choose your terms There are two ways to pay: - **Standard terms.** Billed every 4 weeks, on a rolling basis. No lock-in, no minimum stay, and 4 weeks’ notice when you want to leave. - **$1 first 4 weeks.** New customers pay $1 for the first 4 weeks, then the normal rate. There is a 3-month minimum stay, it is direct debit only, and it ends 31 Dec 2026. Businesses qualify. If you only need a unit for a few weeks, standard terms are usually the better fit. Our [short-term storage](https://echucastorage.net.au/short-term-storage-echuca?hsLang=en-au) page works through the numbers. ## Step 4: Move in Bring your goods any day between **8am and 8pm, 7 days**. Every unit is drive-up, so you park at the door rather than wheeling trolleys down a corridor. - **Trucks can drive in.** A removal truck or a tradie’s truck can get to the door. - **Deliveries are accepted.** Staff accept deliveries for customers. Call first so we know it is coming. - **Pack for the conditions.** Units are not climate-controlled, so keep goods off the floor and leave a gap at the walls. Our guide on [how to pack a storage unit](https://echucastorage.net.au/echuca-storage-blog/how-to-pack-a-storage-unit?hsLang=en-au) covers loading order, labelling and what to leave at home. ## Step 5: Visit when you need to Gate access is 8am–8pm, every day of the week, including weekends. There is no 24-hour access, so plan late pick-ups before 8pm. ## Step 6: Paying Rent is billed every 4 weeks, not by calendar month. That means 13 billing periods a year rather than 12, which is worth knowing when you compare prices. The $1 offer is direct debit only; we will confirm the payment options for standard terms when you reserve. ## Step 7: Moving out Give **4 weeks’ notice**. If you took the $1 offer, the 3-month minimum stay also applies. Empty the unit, sweep it out, and let the office know you are done. ## What you can’t store Nothing hazardous, illegal, stolen, flammable, explosive, environmentally harmful or perishable, and nothing that puts the property at risk. That rules out petrol tins, paint thinner, full gas bottles and chlorine. If you are not sure about an item, call us before you bring it. ## Where to go next - Storing a boat, caravan or car?
