                On Explorage.com you see what self storage is available right now, when convenient to you, and you can
                book it in less than a minute.
                
                Our team engages directly with our network of storage operators to make sure they are genuine and are
                fairly represented on Explorage for your consideration. No pressure selling or smoke and mirrors. When
                storage operators display their association accreditations on their listing, you can be sure we have
                seen the documents to back those up.
                
                Not sure what you need or have a question? Our friendly expert team based in North Wales are on call
                24/7 to answer any questions or problems you may have. Call us on (+44) 0800 098864, or send us an email
                or live chat.
                
                The great thing about speaking to the team at Explorage.com is that we are completely impartial. Our
                mission is to make life easier for people by treating them like human beings just like us. If after
                speaking to you we think you don’t even need storage, we’ll say!
                
                There’s no pressure selling or bias, just honest advice from people who have used self storage
                themselves and who know what it's like to be in your shoes.
            
                What happens after I book?

                Once you have reserved your storage on Explorage.com, you will receive an email from us confirming your
                details. You will also be able to access your reservation at any time from your Explorage.com dashboard,
                which you can login to.
                
                The storage operator will also receive a similar email (and a call for good measure), and will then
                contact you directly to request any additional details they might need to complete your storage
                agreement, this often includes verifying your ID, confirming payment details, and signing the storage
                agreement. Once this is completed, you can move your things in :)
            
                How soon can I move my things in?
                
                    
                        add
                    
                
                
                    
                        maximize
                    
                
            
            
                Moving in to your storage unit is quick and easy, and the timing depends on the storage operator you choose.
                
                To get started, simply click "Reserve" for the storage unit you want and choose a preferred "Move In" day from the available calendar. The calendar will indicate any days that are unavailable for moving in, such as Sundays or days that require prior notice.
                
                Once you've made a reservation on Explorage.com, the storage operator will contact you via email to request any additional details needed to finalize your storage agreement. This may include verifying your ID and signing the agreement. Once the formalities are completed, you can usually move in right away.
                
                Additionally, you can find information about the storage operator's office hours and the hours you can access your storage unit, which might be different.
                
                If you have an urgent moving need or can't find suitable move-in dates on the calendar, feel free to reach out to us via call or message. We'll do our best to make arrangements with the storage operator on your behalf.
            
                Why shouldn’t I just book directly with the self storage operator?
                
                    
                        add
                    
                
                
                    
                        maximize
                    
                
            
            
                On Explorage.com you see what self storage is available right now, when convenient to you, and you can
                book it in less than a minute. Of course, you can contact the storage operator directly, but should you
                decide not to go ahead with them or change your mind, they will have your details to follow up on the
                lead.
                
                Our team engage directly with our network of storage operators to make sure they are genuine and are
                fairly represented on Explorage for your consideration. No pressure selling or smoke and mirrors. When
                storage operators display their association accreditations on their listing, you can be sure we have
                seen the documents to back those up.
            
                I can’t find the size, type or location I need?
                
                    
                        add

                Self storage types and sizes tend to vary by location. For example, in a larger city, you might find
                more indoor self storage facilities or mobile storage operators, whereas in the suburbs or more rural
                areas, you may find more outdoor shipping container type storage facilities.
