Self storage in Cheltenham starts from £8 a week, including VAT, for a 10 sq ft unit on the mezzanine floor at our site on Grosvenor Terrace. That is the real price, not a headline figure with the detail filled in later. Below you will find every size we hold at Cheltenham, what is included, and the costs that sit alongside the weekly rate, so you can work out the true cost before you book rather than after.
Why Prices Vary at Cheltenham
A few things move the price up or down, and it is worth knowing them before you look at the tables.
- Size. The bigger the unit, the more it costs. That is the main driver, by some distance.
- Floor. Cheltenham has a ground floor and a mezzanine floor. The mezzanine is reached by stairs, with no lift, and it is cheaper for it: a 25 sq ft unit is £15 a week up there against £22 on the ground floor. If you are storing anything heavy, or you would rather not carry boxes up a flight of stairs, take the ground floor and pay the difference knowingly.
- Lockers. We hold 10 sq ft lockers on the ground floor at £9 a week, which undercuts the standard 10 sq ft unit at £12. A locker suits a few boxes and little else.
- Length of stay. Our current offer, 50% off your first 8 weeks, applies whatever size you take.
- Availability, demand and time of year. The prices below are our standard from-prices, but like most things worth having, they move with demand. A unit at Cheltenham can cost more in a busy month, such as the summer moving season or festival weeks, than in a quiet one. What you are quoted on the day is what it actually costs then, not a fixed number pulled from this page.

Mezzanine floor units
The mezzanine is reached by stairs. There is no lift to this floor, which is why it is priced below the ground floor at every size we hold there.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 sq ft | A few boxes, seasonal items | £8.00 | £4.00 | £32.00 |

Additional Costs to Consider
The weekly price is not the whole story anywhere in this trade, and we would rather you heard the rest from us than found it out later.
There is no deposit to pay at Cheltenham. There is a notice period of 14 days before you move out, and the minimum stay at Cheltenham is two weeks. Most customers also take Contents Protection, priced against what you are storing, unless you can show your own insurance covers it, in which case tell us within 14 days and we will sort out the difference. It is worth checking your home contents policy before you buy ours, because some policies already cover goods in storage and you should not pay twice for the same cover. Wigwam Self Storage is an accredited member of the UK Self Storage Association, which sets standards for storage operators across the country.
Storage in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bishop's Cleeve
Cheltenham is a Regency town that grew up around its spa waters, and the architecture that makes it handsome is the same architecture that leaves people short of space: tall terraces and converted townhouses around Montpellier, Lansdown and Pittville, divided into flats over the years, with high ceilings, elegant proportions and almost nowhere to put a bicycle, a cot or six boxes of books. We see a good deal of that. We also see the town's other rhythms, from the racecourse weeks in spring when properties are let out and their contents need to go somewhere, to the festival season, to the steady movement of people arriving for work at GCHQ or the colleges and needing a few months of breathing room before they settle.
Grosvenor Terrace sits close to the town centre, a short walk from the Promenade and easily reached from the A40 and the A435, so you are not fighting your way across town with a loaded van. Because of where the site sits, we see vans from Charlton Kings, Prestbury, Bishop's Cleeve, Leckhampton and Gloucester as often as from the middle of Cheltenham itself, along with the villages out towards Winchcombe. Most of what comes through the door is ordinary life needing somewhere to go for a while: a house move that has not quite lined up, a renovation that has taken over a room too many, a student year ending, a business that has outgrown the spare corner of an office. At Cheltenham, you take what you need for as long as you need it, and you are never paying for months you are not using. You can read more about the Cheltenham site itself, or see how prices compare across our other towns if Cheltenham is not the only site you are weighing up — our Tewkesbury site is about nine miles north if that is an easier run for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a deposit for a unit at Cheltenham?
No. There is no deposit to pay at Cheltenham. You pay for your storage and nothing is held back against the unit.
Can I cancel after I have booked?
Yes. You have a 14-day cooling-off period from the day you book, which is separate from the 14 days' notice needed to end an agreement once you have moved in.
What's the smallest unit at Cheltenham?
Our smallest unit at Cheltenham is 10 sq ft, from £8 a week on the mezzanine floor. We also hold 10 sq ft lockers on the ground floor from £9 a week. Either suits a few boxes or seasonal items you want out of the way without paying for space you do not need.
How much is a 10 sq ft unit at Cheltenham?
From £8 a week on the mezzanine, or £32 for a four-week period, at the standard rate. Under our current offer of 50% off your first 8 weeks, that works out at £4 a week for the first 8 weeks, reverting to £8 from week 9. The same size on the ground floor is £12 a week.
Why is the mezzanine floor cheaper than the ground floor?
Because the mezzanine is reached by stairs and there is no lift to it. Every size we hold up there costs less than the equivalent on the ground floor — a 100 sq ft unit is £37 a week on the mezzanine against £45 on the ground floor. If you are storing heavy furniture or white goods, or you simply do not want to carry boxes upstairs, the ground floor is the better choice.
Do you have drive-up containers at Cheltenham?
No. Cheltenham is an indoor site with ground floor and mezzanine units. If you specifically want a drive-up container, our Shipston-on-Stour and Warminster sites hold them.
What are the access hours at Cheltenham?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and weekends and bank holidays, 10am to 4pm. There is no access outside those hours, so if you need evening or early-morning access, tell us before you book and we will be straight with you about whether Cheltenham suits.
Is there a minimum stay?
Yes, the minimum stay at Cheltenham is two weeks. After that, you stay for as long as you need and give 14 days' notice when you are ready to leave.
Does the price include insurance?
Not automatically. Most customers take our Contents Protection, priced against what you are storing. If you already have cover through your own insurer, tell us within 14 days of moving in and we will adjust your price. It is worth checking your existing home contents policy first.
What happens if the size I want is not available?
Tell us what you need and we will look at what is free. Where we can, we will put you in a larger unit at the smaller unit's price rather than send you away or leave you waiting, subject to what is actually available at the time.
How do I get to the Cheltenham store from Gloucester or Bishop's Cleeve?
Grosvenor Terrace is close to the town centre and reached easily from the A40 from Gloucester or the A435 from Bishop's Cleeve. Use the postcode GL52 2SA for directions, or call 01242 800270 if you would like guidance on the easiest route for a loaded van.
Do the prices include VAT?
Yes. Every price on this page, including the tables above, already includes VAT. There is nothing added later.
Can I get a VAT invoice for my storage, for business accounts?
Yes. Wigwam can issue a proper VAT invoice for your Cheltenham unit, useful if you are storing for a business and need it for your own accounts.
