So I'm booked on the ferry back to Portsmouth this week and booked in for my MOT up in Quedgley. My sister stays there so thought it would be worth while to book my van in to storage for a few months instead of driving back home to Aberdeen then back down to the ferry when I go away again. This way I can fly down to see family then pick the van up.
Been quoted some eye watering amounts from various storage facilities down there and some I can't help but feel are taking the absolute p*ss.
I won't name and shame but one company in particular were quoting me £225+vat P/M with a £60+vat P/M service charge. (This basically means they will wash the van on entry and keep the battery on a trickle charge). They then emailed me and said 'on doing some research on the size of my van' (7m long) they would have to charge £300 +vat P/M with the £60+vat P/M service charge.
Over 400 quid per month to keep my camper van under a roof. Surely I could rent a house with a garage for that amount. How can they justify these prices? I was under £400 quid to keep my van for a year in Spain!
Anyway I have found somewhere that will do it for 90 quid per month. Just proves how important it is to shop around.
