Packing for summer break? We’ve got the boxes, tape, and somewhere to put all your stuff.
Going home for the summer? Changing rentals mid-semester? Whether at UBCO (University of British Columbia Okanagan), Okanagan College, or CATO (Centre for Arts & Technology Kelowna), student life comes with one universal truth: you have more stuff than you think—and nowhere to put it.
That’s where we come in.
At Space Centre Storage, we offer stress-free, student-friendly storage options in Kelowna. From mini storage units to full-blown rental storage containers, we’ve always got space for your stuff (because you move a lot).
Affordable Storage Units in Kelowna
We get it. Tuition’s expensive, textbooks cost a fortune, and you’re already budgeting like a pro. That’s why our storage units in Kelowna are affordable, flexible, and come in sizes that won’t overwhelm your ramen budget. Whether you’re storing a few boxes or your entire dorm room setup, we’ve got you.
Rental Storage Containers for Student Moves
No vehicle? No problem. Our MI-BOX moving storage containers come straight to your doorstep. You load it up, and we’ll take care of the rest—either storing it at our secure facility or leaving it with you until you’re ready to unload. (Summer road trip, anyone?)
Packing Boxes & Moving Supplies Made Easy
You’ll need more than good intentions. We’ve got moving boxes, packing boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and all the other last-minute items you didn’t think about until 11:30 p.m. the night before you move. (We’ve been there.)
Secure Storage Near UBCO, Okanagan College & CATO
Whether you need short-term storage for a summer or the whole semester, we’re here to help students keep their stuff safe. From secure storage to friendly service, we’ll walk (or cart) you through it all.
When Do Students Actually Need Storage?
More often than you'd think. Here are the situations we see every semester:
- End of semester move-out: lease ends, but you're not heading home permanently. Store your stuff, don't haul it across the province.
- Subletting for the summer: your place is rented out, but your furniture isn't going anywhere. A storage unit bridges the gap.
- Moving between rentals: new place isn't ready yet, and your old one is done. A MI-BOX buys you time without the chaos.
- International or out-of-province students: flying home for four months and can't take your bike, mini fridge, or desk lamp with you. We'll hold it.
- Downsizing mid-year: moving to a smaller place or a new roommate situation, and suddenly you have too much stuff for the space.
How to Store Your Stuff Without Losing Your Mind
- Figure out your unit size: call us or use the FAQ below. We'll help you avoid paying for more space than you need.
- Grab your packing supplies: boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, which are all available at our Kelowna location. One stop.
- Choose your storage type: self-storage unit if you want regular access, MI-BOX if you want it delivered and picked up without lifting a finger.
- Load up and lock it: our units are secure, our containers are weatherproof, and your stuff is safe while you're off doing summer things.
- Pick it back up when you're ready: flexible rental means no scrambling to empty it by an arbitrary deadline.
FAQ: Student Storage Edition
Q: How small is your smallest storage unit? A: We have units to fit all situations, from a few boxes up to a full apartment's worth of furniture. Use our storage size estimator to find your fit, or call us, and we'll sort it out in two minutes.
Q: Can I access my unit during the summer? A: Yes. Self-storage units are accessible during our regular hours. If you're staying local and need to grab things occasionally, a unit is your best bet.
Q: Is a MI-BOX or a storage unit better for students? A: Depends on your situation. A MI-BOX is great if you want it delivered to your door and don't need regular access. A self-storage unit works better if you're local and want drop-in access all summer. Either way, we can help you decide.
Q: Do you sell packing supplies on-site? A: Yes. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, mattress covers — all available at our Kelowna location. No last-minute scramble to find a random moving box at a grocery store.
Q: Is there a student discount? A: Give us a call or get a quote and ask. We're a locally owned business and we work with people, not just price lists.
