Yes, we can arrange storage at a self-storage facility either near your uplift area or close to your delivery location.

For interstate moves: We find a storage facility near your new location so that you can arrange a removalist nearby for easy access.

For local moves: We select a secure storage facility in the area you are moving to, usually in Caloundra, Warana, or Maroochydore.

We choose facilities with strong security features that also comply with insurance requirements for peace of mind.
We typically require around two weeks' notice to book your move.

During the Christmas season: We recommend at least one month's notice as demand is high, with many people moving during the school holidays to settle in before Christmas.

However, last-minute moves may be available! Give us a call as we sometimes have openings for next-day bookings.
Our team takes great care in handling your belongings to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

While Sunshine Coast Removals & Storage takes the utmost care with your belongings, we strongly recommend insurance for extra peace of mind.

What Our Insurance Covers:
- Fire, collision, and overturning of the vehicle while in transit.

What is Not Covered:
- Accidental breakages, scratches, or marks during handling and transport.

As we do not hold an Australian Financial Services License (AFS), we cannot legally offer or advise on insurance. However, you can arrange cover through Removals Insurance or your own insurance broker.

If you have high-value antiques, artwork, or collectibles, a professional valuation may be required for insurance purposes. Speak to our team if you need guidance on arranging coverage.
