Are you looking for long-term storage for household goods, furniture or maybe a vehicle?

Our long-term furniture storage can be used for a month or two, or over many years, according to the length of time you need.
Crown offers secure long-term storage across New Zealand in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, and Dunedin. We can collect, store and redeliver your items when and where needed.
Crown provides household storage long term, as part of our moving and storage services. Whether you are downsizing homes, storing furniture while overseas, or travelling for an extended period of time, Crown can hold your items in safe-keeping until future plans are confirmed.
There are many reasons why people use long-term storage in NZ to store belongings they don’t need immediately:
Common situations include:
If you’re not sure whether you need long-term storage for several years or just a few months, Crown offers flexibility with your time frames. We don’t have any fixed-term agreements. So we can offer household storage long-term, from a couple of months, or as many years as you need.
If you’re planning on going overseas to live, work, or travel, this often raises the question of “what do I do with my belongings while I’m overseas?”
Many New Zealanders use long-term storage while living overseas. Storing furniture while overseas gives you time when making future decisions, knowing your household belongings are safely in NZ until your plans are sorted.
Deciding whether to sell belongings or pay for storage while travelling overseas often depends on replacement cost, sentimental value, and how long you are planning to stay overseas.
Items often placed into storage while travelling overseas include:
Items usually sold or donated before leaving include easily replaceable, low value furniture and bulky or cheap household items.
If you need anything in storage sent to you while living or travelling overseas, just let us know and we can arrange for selected or all items to be shipped around the world to you wherever you are.
Crown’s long-term storage process is simple and flexible. We provide storage with movers so you don’t need to do the heavy lifting. When you need storage for longer than 4 weeks, whether during renovations or for a relocation, Crown manages your entire storage process.
Our long-term storage process includes:
You can store a few items or a full household and request redelivery of selected boxes and items, or everything all at once. When you need a moving company with storage facilities in New Zealand, Crown provides safe and secure long-term storage for as long as you need.
Crown’s long-term storage systems are designed to protect your household goods, furniture and valuable items over months or years.
We have a number of protection measures in place, including:
Preparing items properly before storing also helps with protecting furniture in storage, including:
We have packing materials that you can buy for a small additional cost, if you want to wrap your own items prior to storing with Crown.
For safety reasons, we don’t move or store hazardous items. These include aerosol cans, flammable liquids, lithium batteries, and perishable food items.
The risk of damage during long-term furniture storage is reduced significantly when items are prepared before storing, packed securely and stored safely.
At Crown, we design our storage facilities around NZ with security as a top priority.
Crown’s storage security in NZ includes:
Crown’s major facilities are also licensed by New Zealand Customs and Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), meeting their strict guidelines for security and access. Our secure and monitored storage facilities give confidence your belongings are stored safely with Crown.
When storing long-term with Crown, you have flexibility in managing your storage remotely and for as long as needed. If your plans change, items can be sent to wherever you need, including family members or a third party.
When you have storage with Crown while overseas, you can nominate someone in New Zealand to act on your behalf to manage your stored belongings. If you decide not to come back to NZ, your items can be shipped from storage in NZ to wherever you are living now. Crown handles your international moving from storage, including customs documentation and international shipping.
If you are moving to New Zealand and your container arrives before you do, Crown can pick up your shipping container, manage customs clearance, and hold your items in storage in NZ until you’re ready for delivery.

There is no maximum storage duration. Crown offers flexible long-term storage from a couple of months to as many years as you need, with no fixed-term contracts. Storage is charged on a weekly basis, so you only pay for the time you use.
It depends on the replacement cost, sentimental value, and how long you plan to be away. High-quality furniture, family heirlooms, and items that are expensive to replace are usually worth storing. Easily replaceable, low-value, or bulky items are generally better sold or donated before leaving.
Crown uses containerised storage modules made from kiln-dried timber, which allows ventilation and reduces condensation risk. Items are handled by professionally trained crews, using quality packing materials. CrownCare Transit Insurance can also be extended to cover goods while in storage, charged per month or part thereof.
Crown facilities have 24/7 monitored alarm systems, controlled and restricted access, and professional facility management. Major facilities are also licensed by NZ Customs and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), meeting strict security and access guidelines – a significant advantage over self-storage facilities.
Yes. If your plans change and you decide to stay overseas, Crown can arrange international shipping directly from storage. This includes expert packing, customs documentation, and freight to wherever you are. You can also request individual items or boxes to be shipped as needed, rather than your entire household.
You can manage your storage remotely by contacting Crown to arrange redelivery, extend your storage period, or request any changes. You can also nominate a trusted contact or family member to act on your behalf for accessing or managing your stored belongings.
