Hold-off making any decision until you’ve checked out if this convenient and cost-effective option is for you.
Not far away, just over the Rimutaka hill in Masterton, is a self-storage facility (established in 2006) that offers and provides the same if not more benefits than their Wellington region counterparts but for a fraction of the Wellington prices. This is particularly true for our long-term storage customers.
How can we provide such great prices and deals? Simple. Our overheads are so much cheaper than those Wellington based self-storage facilities. Yes, you need to bring your vehicle to Masterton but once here, especially for our long-term customers, the savings can be huge.
What this means to you is, not only are our starting prices far sharper than in the Wellington region but you can benefit further by taking advantage of one of our long-term discount options. We look at it this way; the longer you stay, the less work for us, the greater the savings for you.
Our Four Long-Term Discount Options Are:
- A 3-Month Term = 13 weeks but you pay for just 12 weeks = get 1 week free.
- A 6-Month Term = 26 weeks but you pay for just 23 weeks = get 3 weeks free.
- A 9-Month Term = 39 weeks but you pay for just 34 weeks = get 5 weeks free.
- A 12-Month Term = 52 weeks but you pay for just 44 weeks = get 8 weeks free.
There are massive savings on already lower prices.
Masterton Self-Storage is a family owned and operated business. Although we grew up in the Hutt Valley we chose to live in Masterton 35 years ago because it offers a more relaxed lifestyle and is close to the great outdoors. At our doorstep we have coastal fishing, the mountains for hiking and cycling, and the rivers to explore. All while only just an hour’s drive from the Wellington region.
With Masterton being so close to Wellington it occurred to us that whilst your car, boat, camper, or trailer isn’t in use and if street parking is a problem or it currently uses too much space on your section, why not store it at our place as we offer so many cost effective solutions. That’s what makes Masterton Self Storage so viable. We offer 3 options of secure and affordable self storage solutions in our high security facility.
Critical Note For Long-Term Vehicle Storage: The last thing you want is to come and collect or use your vehicle only to find the battery is flat. To help avoid this from happening, with most lockups, we can provide electricity to your charger. Just a small electricity usage fee will apply.
- Your vehicle in its own purpose-built garage. Each and all garages are individually security alarm monitored to Monitor New Zealand – a nationwide alarm monitoring company.
2. Your vehicle is parked under a carport roof (referred to as the Island Block) protected from most weather conditions but along-side other vehicles. This area is watched over by 2 CCTV cameras as well as being in an enclosed high security compound.
3. Option 3 is what we call Hardstands. Hardstands are 6m x 3m (minimum) parking spaces inside a secured compound and under the watchful eye of several 24/7 CCTV security cameras. If you are relaxed about your vehicle being out in all weather this option is perfect. Besides, relatively cost-effective covers can be purchased for most makes and models.
Why Choose Masterton Self-Storage For Your Vehicle?
- Reclaim Your Home Space Back: As you drive around the city and its suburbs one thing becomes very noticeable, especially at night or over the weekends. Everyday commuter cars and tradie utes are parked in driveways that lead up to garage doors. Why is this? Simple. It is because the garage is being used for storage – for custom cars, campers, boats, and also general household stuff. By using Masterton Self Storage, you can reclaim your home and living spaces back at rates much less than Wellington rates.
- Unmatched Security: Your vehicle or stuff is way more secure at our place than it is at your place and insurance companies love it because of this. All major insurance companies have inspected our facility, and some have even referred their customers to us for self-storage. While most other self-storage firms use PIN numbers at a keypad at the entry gate we do not. How safe is a PIN number if just one of the customers gives their PIN number to some of their crooked and or dodgy mates? Our security system uses swipe-cards. The same as hotel rooms – one swipe-card per customer for each individual self-storage lockup room or area. All swipe-cards are individually monitored by a Wellington-based but nation-wide security firm – that is like having your own personal security guard stationed outside your lockup’s door 24/7 – how good is that? All customers with a swipe-card have the convenience of getting access to their stuff 7-days-a-week including outside of our usual office hours. Our premises are also flood-lite at night to aid security guard patrols and to make it unwelcoming to intruders. And finally, we have 18 CCTV cameras operating 24/7 which means we always have a 10-day record of who is at our facility and what they are doing there.
- Protection From The Elements: As referred earlier in this article Masterton Self-Storage offers 3 options for you to consider before deciding on the level of protection from the elements and the level of security. A major benefit Masterton’s climate has over the Wellington region is that Masterton is a long way from any coastline. That means vehicles are never adversely affect by sea spray or salt-ladened air. If one of our purpose-built lockups comes to more than you want to spend our covered Island Block is a splendid alternative for protection from the sun and the rain.
- Flexible Storage Solutions: We understand that not all precious sets of wheels or boats are created identically. That’s why we offer an extensive variety of purpose-built lockup (all 3.4m wide and ranging in length from 5m, to 6m, to 7m, and up to 9m) sizes to house them. We also have 3m x 1.5m lockups which are perfect for custom motorcycles, and we have Hardstands for large boats, trailers, and even RVs up to 12m long.
- Convenient Access: Life does not constantly paint on a 9-to-five timetable. At Masterton Self-Storage, you can enjoy 24/7 access to your vehicle. Although most of our swipe cards only give daylight hours access (for security reasons only), cards can be programmed to give you access at any time. This option and benefit is only granted to a privileged few on special request.
Finding The Perfect Storage Solution For Your Needs:
We encourage you to compare prices and services from a Wellington region self-storage facility to ours in Masterton. When making your choice, remember factors like location, security capabilities, lockup sizes, entry and accessibility, and staff available to you 7 days a week. We’re confident that Masterton Self Storage will be a wise choice for you. Don’t waste cash on space you don’t want. Measure your vehicle and pick out a lockup or space that provides enough room for smooth manoeuvring.
We offer both covered and enclosed garage alternatives. Covered parking offers excellent protection from solar and rain, but an enclosed garage lockup provides the best available security and protection from all climate conditions too. Choosing the right alternative depends on your price range and the vehicle you are storing. For everyday vehicles, an outdoor Hardstand may be sufficient. However, for traditional and custom vehicles, boats, or cars, the peace of mind and protection of an enclosed lockup is often worth the investment.
Taking Care Of Your Vehicle In Storage
Once you have selected Masterton Self Storage, here are some tips for maintaining your car or boat in prime condition:
- Remove dust, debris, and pests that can damage your vehicle through the years. Wash and wax your car for added protection.
- Change the oil (cars) and inflate the tyres. Disconnect the battery (motors) or winterize your boat engine to save damage and battery drain. However, as mentioned, you can keep your battery fully charged by plugging your charger to mains power for a small fee.
- Consider a car cover: For additional protection, mainly for outdoor Hardstand storage.
- Personalised CCTV: Consider installing your own personalised CCTV camera to watch over your baby. You provide the hardware and installation, and we will provide a free wifi connection (obviously conditional upon the kit you buy being of sufficient quality that its wifi capability is strong enough to reach our wifi).
