The Gold Coast is a busy city with many businesses and local residents. As such, storage in Robina has been highly sought after. At Spacer, our aim is to match up renters with those with excess space they're not currently using. One of the ways developers attract leaseholders is by including storage as a part of their building. But often, the person renting does not have a use for it – especially in places where you do not need a vehicle. With Spacer, things can get easier for both hosts and renters; we handle all the payments and help sort out any issues, such as insurance for damaged goods and abandoned units.

If you are looking to downsize your home or need a place to store some clutter, storage space is the best option. A massive trend in households is to clear out everything and live in a clean space. However, if you have heaps of extra items, then doing this is near impossible! By renting a storage unit, you can keep everything that you do not want to throw away, but you don't need it on hand all the time. A storage unit can also be the perfect place to keep valuable items that can be duplicated; this can include personal documents (birth certificates, etc.), old family photos, and data backup drives. At Spacer, we even have small storage units and those large enough to fit your car. Whatever your needs, you're sure to find the perfect storage space at Spacer.

How to choose the right storage space in Robina?

Having the proper storage in Robina means that you need to find a place large enough to store everything you need. For first-time storage renters, this can pose a bit of a challenge. After all, how can you tell what size is best suited? Many of our hosts will list what they think the space is suited for on our listings page. However, for the absolute best way, you can box up everything you plan on storing and stack it into your garage. Then you can measure the area to get the ideal storage space you need. If you don't have the time to do this, a well-informed estimate is your best option. For example, if you're planning on storing everything in your home, a standard garage space (3m x 5m x 3m) will fit the contents of most three-bedroom homes. On the other hand, if you are clearing out some clutter from your home, a space about half of this size would be ideal.

After you choose the size of your storage in Robina, your next decision is security. A storage unit will include a padlock (usually supplied by the renter), which is the most basic security. If you supply your own padlock, you can look at all those available and then buy the best one possible. In addition to locking the door to your storage unit, the building that hosts your unit may have additional security. This may include CCTV, guard patrols, and electronic key card access. It is important to note that the more security on offer, the higher the monthly rental. You may also find that a unit with high security is not as accessible as one without. If having access to your unit on a 24/7 basis is essential, you may need to find a good balance between security and accessibility.

When you search for storage in Robina, we'll show you everything available within a 10km radius of the suburb. We've found that most people prefer a storage unit close to where they live, making accessibility easier. However, if you are looking for a unit in the Gold Coast, you can widen your search to see more units. We'd recommend looking at Southport, Helensvale, Palm Beach, or even Tweed Heads for anyone living on the Gold Coast. At Spacer, we have thousands of units available all through Queensland, including Brisbane and Ipswich. While it is brilliant to have a unit close by, you'll often find that the further you go into regional centres, the cheaper your storage costs are, which is excellent if you don't need to access the unit often.

How does the payment process work?

One of the benefits of using Spacer to find your storage in Robina is that we'll process all the payments. When you find your perfect storage unit, select the option to request the space. Next, sign up for our services or log in using your existing account with us. You'll then need to enter your banking details, and the first month rent will be taken along with any bond requested. As soon as the booking is confirmed and processed, the host will contact you, and you can arrange a time to start loading up your storage unit.

How long can I rent a storage unit?

Having a storage unit is usually considered a long term arrangement. However, with Spacer, you can hold a storage space for as little as two months. When you need to vacate your storage in Robina, you'll need to give the host at least one months' notice. If the host has a minimum storage requirement, it'll be stated on the listing page. Some areas have a higher than usual demand for storage spaces, so if you find one that you like the look of, it can be best to book it already rather than miss out. If you've seen a unit you like but has already been booked before you got the chance, you can use our search filters and select ‘show all' under availability to see these. From there, you can find the listing and request to be notified when it is next available.
