Short-term storage in Echuca, for students, travellers and in-between stays
Some storage needs have an end date. A uni year away, a trip around Australia, a contract job, a gap between leases. You want a unit for weeks or months, not years, and you want to know exactly what it will cost.
Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, has 300 drive-up units and published prices from $115 per 4 weeks. On standard terms there is no lock-in and no minimum stay. Gate access is 8am–8pm, 7 days. Call (03) 4410 8566.
How short-term storage is charged
- Rent is billed every 4 weeks, not by calendar month.
- On standard terms you give 4 weeks’ notice when you want to leave.
- There is no minimum stay on standard terms.
So the simple way to cost a short stay is to count 4-week periods. If you need a 2.0m × 3.0m unit for 8 weeks and give your notice in time, that is two periods: 2 × $115 = $230. A 3.0m × 3.0m for 12 weeks is three periods: 3 × $175 = $525.
Because you give 4 weeks’ notice, a stay of only a week or two still costs a full period. Plan your notice into your dates.
Standard terms or the $1 offer?
New customers can get the first 4 weeks for $1, then the normal rate. The offer has a 3-month minimum stay, is direct debit only, and ends 31 Dec 2026.
- Staying 3 months or more? The $1 offer usually wins. On a 2.0m × 3.0m, the first period would otherwise be $115.
- Staying less than 3 months? Use standard terms. The 3-month minimum means the offer doesn’t suit a short stay.

Who uses short-term storage
Students. Finishing school in Echuca and heading to uni or TAFE, a gap year, or a semester away. Store your room’s worth in a 2.0m × 3.0m and come home to it. Bikes, desk, books and the bar fridge all fit.
Travellers. Leaving for a long trip and giving up a rental. Store the furniture rather than paying rent on an empty house. If you are touring in a caravan, the car can stay with us too: see car storage.
Contract and seasonal workers. In Echuca for a contract, a season or a placement, with more gear than the accommodation can hold.
Between leases or houses. The old lease ends before the new one starts. For a full settlement gap, see moving house storage.
House-sitting or living with family for a while. Your furniture waits in one place.
For a specific season (summer on the river, harvest, winter lay-up), see seasonal storage.

Make a short stay easy
- Book your size before moving day. Vacancy changes, so call or use the contact form early.
- Pack for easy unloading. Label boxes on two sides and put what you will need first at the front.
- Move in during gate hours, 8am–8pm, 7 days. There is no 24-hour access, so a late arrival needs planning.
- Diary your notice date. Four weeks before you plan to leave.
- Pack for the conditions. Units are not climate-controlled; keep electronics and papers dry and off the floor.

FAQ
Can I rent a storage unit for just one month in Echuca?
Yes, on standard terms. There is no minimum stay. Rent is billed every 4 weeks and you give 4 weeks’ notice to leave, so a one-month stay is usually one 4-week period.
How much does 8 weeks of storage cost?
Count the 4-week periods. A 2.0m × 3.0m unit for 8 weeks is two periods at $115, so $230 on standard terms, if you give notice in time.
Is there student storage in Echuca?
Yes. Students use our smallest unit, 2.0m × 3.0m at $115 per 4 weeks, for a room’s worth of boxes, a bike, a desk and a bar fridge. Standard terms have no lock-in.

Only if you stay at least 3 months. The $1 first 4 weeks is for new customers, has a 3-month minimum stay, is direct debit only and ends 31 Dec 2026. Shorter stays are better on standard terms.
