Only Pay for the Days You Use đź”’
We know that plans can change. Whether you're moving house, renovating, downsizing, or simply need some extra space for a while, it's not always possible to know exactly how long you'll need your storage unit for.
That's why at Ards Self Storage & Removals, we believe your storage costs should reflect the time you actually use your unit.
How Does Our Unused-Days Refund Work?
After your initial month's rental, if you vacate your storage unit before the end of your current billing period, we'll refund you for any unused days.
For example, if your billing period runs from the 1st to the 30th and you move out on the 20th, you'll receive a refund for the remaining unused days.
This means you're only paying for the time your belongings are actually stored with us.
We believe this gives our customers greater flexibility, clearer pricing and confidence that they're getting fair value from their storage.
Why Flexible Storage Matters
Storage is often needed because something else is changing.
You might be:
Moving house
Renovating
Downsizing
Decluttering
Waiting for a house sale to complete
Storing belongings between homes
Needing extra space for your business
In many of these situations, your plans can change. You might originally expect to need storage for several months, but then find that your new home is ready sooner than expected. Rather than continuing to pay for storage you no longer need, our unused-days refund means your final cost reflects how long you actually used the unit.
What If My Storage Needs Change?
Your storage requirements can change while you're with us too.
Perhaps you've moved some of your furniture into your new home and no longer need as much space. Or maybe you've realised that you need a little more room than you originally expected.
If your storage needs change, you can switch to a different unit size, subject to availability.
This means you can keep your storage flexible rather than paying for a unit that's much bigger than you need or trying to squeeze everything into one that's too small.
If you're unsure which size is right for you, we're always happy to help.
What Happens When I Move Out?
When you're ready to move out, simply let us know.
If you're leaving before the end of your current billing period, we'll calculate the unused days and refund you accordingly, following your initial month's rental.
It's all part of keeping the storage process as straightforward as possible.

Tips for Making the Most of Flexible Storage
1. Think about how long you'll realistically need storage
When booking your unit, consider what you're using it for and what needs to happen before you can move everything out. However, don't worry if your plans change — that's what our flexible approach is designed for.
2. Choose the right size
Think about everything you need to store before choosing your unit. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll help you work out which size is most suitable.
3. Keep your unit organised
Label your boxes clearly and keep frequently needed items somewhere easy to reach. A well-organised unit makes it much easier to find things when you need them.
4. Let us know when your plans change
If you're moving out earlier than expected or your storage requirements have changed, just get in touch. We'll help make the process as straightforward as possible.
5. Don't pay for space you don't need
If you've removed a significant amount of your belongings and no longer need as much space, ask us about changing to a smaller unit, subject to availability.
6. Ask for advice
Not sure how long you'll need storage or what size unit is right for you? Just ask. We're happy to help you find the most suitable option for your circumstances
We hope this gives you a better idea of how our flexible storage works and how you can make sure you're only paying for the time you actually need.
