Do you need short-term storage for a few days, or over a few weeks? At Crown Relocations, we offer temporary storage across New Zealand in 8 strategic locations: Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, and Dunedin.
Short-term storage in NZ is used for many reasons. One of the most common is needing storage between house moves when waiting for the next property to become available. When you are looking for a moving company with storage, Crown offers safe and secure storage solutions for you.
We make storing your items with Crown convenient. We can collect and store your belongings, and redeliver them when you’re ready. Crown can manage your moving and storage service within NZ, whether moving homes or planning renovations.
When moving, there can often be a temporary gap between when your items are picked up from your current home and when you’re ready to receive your items in your new home.
This can happen when:
Having the availability of short term storage during your move makes any delay much less stressful, whether known in advance or unexpected. When you need temporary storage because of renovations or a short delay when moving, Crown offers short-term storage between homes until everything is ready.
Needing to move out before your new home is ready can happen quite often. If settlement dates are pushed back a few days or your new home is not quite ready to move into, Crown can store your belongings until you need them.
Crown provides a fully managed moving and storage service. This means storage can be built into your move plan for short expected gaps or planned around any unexpected delays. Because your items can go straight from your home into storage, there’s no double-handling, making your move more cost-effective and stress-free.
Crown short-term storage duration is for storage up to 4 weeks. But if you need your items stored for longer, we can easily move your items from short-term to long-term storage. Even our long-term storage is flexible, with weekly payments continuing for your furniture storage services, and your belongings able to be re-delivered when you’re ready. CrownCare Transit Insurance can be extended to cover your items while they remain in storage.
When you need storage between rentals or moving house storage around NZ, our Crown team has flexible short-term storage solutions for you.
Short-term storage can often be needed during house repairs or renovations, like laying down new carpet, or remodelling a kitchen or living room. Storing furniture during renovations helps to protect your items from dust, debris, accidental damage, and frees up space for work that needs to be done.
Crown can cater for full household storage or part of your house contents from select rooms depending on your requirements. You only pay for the space your items need, so storing with Crown can be more cost-effective than hiring a self-storage unit. If your renovations end up taking more than four weeks, then our long-term storage service can be used until everything is completed.
Our team handles the whole process, collecting from your home, storage, and redelivery. So you can focus on the renovations stress-free while your items are stored safely in a controlled secure environment.
We calculate your storage needs based on the amount of goods you have rather than on fixed storage unit sizes. You only pay for the space you use, which can make Crown storage more cost-effective than self-storage – where you pay for the whole unit size even if it’s only partly full.
During short-term storage, your items stay in the same purpose-built container used for your move. These are specially designed for transporting household goods, with carpet-lined tie rails to secure loads and prevent movement. This means your belongings go straight from your home into secure storage without any unnecessary handling.
Crown handles anything from a few pieces of furniture to your entire household, including pianos, artworks, and vehicles. When you’re wondering “how much storage space do I need?” our team assesses and recommends appropriate storage for you. For small item storage you can also use Store Ur Box.
All major Crown storage facilities are licensed by NZ Customs and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), which meet strict guidelines around access and security. Our warehouses are fully alarmed and electronically monitored 24/7, with restricted and controlled access only. Crown does not move or store any dangerous goods, so you know your belongings are never stored alongside hazardous materials.
Short-term storage costs in NZ often depend on the storage unit size, duration, and location. When storing with Crown, you don’t need to figure out what size storage unit you need. We charge only for the space you actually use in our purpose-built domestic containers.
Crown charges storage on a weekly basis with no fixed term monthly contracts. This gives you more control over your storage pricing, especially if you have only a couple of weeks between settlement dates.
Our short-term storage pricing has three main components: weekly storage charges, a one-time fee for moving items into and out of storage, and an optional CrownCare protection extension to our Transit Insurance if you want to cover your items while in storage.
Short-term storage is often a more cost-effective and safer option than moving your items more than once, using temporary arrangements in someone’s garage, or needing to replace furniture. We provide you with a clear quote upfront, with no hidden costs.
Give us a call and we can help arrange your short-term storage. Our Crown consultants will find out how many items you need stored and provide you with a detailed quote upfront with no hidden costs. We will coordinate collection, storage and delivery for you. We plan ahead to make sure your move goes smoothly with minimal disruption and your use of storage is efficient and timely.

Short-term storage with Crown covers storage for up to 4 weeks. During this period, your belongings stay in the same purpose-built domestic container used to collect them from your home, which avoids double handling. If you need storage beyond 4 weeks, your items move into Crown’s warehouse housepacks and the arrangement transitions to long-term storage rates.
This is one of the most common reasons people use short-term storage. Crown can collect your belongings from your current home, hold them securely in storage, and redeliver once your new property is ready. This means you only move once. Your items go straight from your old home into storage and then into your new home, avoiding the cost and stress of multiple moves.
Short-term storage pricing with Crown is based on the volume of goods you need stored and the duration of storage. You only pay for the space your items actually use, not for an entire storage unit. Storage is charged on a weekly basis (or part thereof), with a one-time handling fee for moving items into and out of storage. CrownCare Transit Insurance can also be extended to cover your items while in storage, charged per month or part thereof. Crown provides a tailored quote based on your specific situation.
Crown can store a full household, a partial load of selected furniture and boxes, or individual large items. Storage is based on the volume of goods rather than fixed unit sizes, so you only pay for the space your items occupy.
Yes. Short-term storage can be used during simple renovations or repair work. Moving furniture and belongings out of the property protects them from dust, paint, and accidental damage, and gives tradespeople the space they need to work. You can store your full household contents or just the items from the rooms being renovated. Crown collects, stores, and redelivers when the work is complete.
Crown provides a fully managed moving and storage service. The process typically includes packing (optional), collection from your home, transport to a Crown storage facility, storage in containerised modules, and redelivery when you’re ready. For short-term storage of up to 4 weeks, your belongings stay in the same purpose-built domestic container used for collection. This avoids unloading into a separate container and reduces handling. Crown manages the entire process, so you don’t need to organise separate movers and storage.
Crown’s storage facilities feature 24/7 monitored alarm systems, controlled and restricted access, and are professionally managed – a major advantage over many self-storage facilities which often operate with less on‑site staffing and rely more on automated gate access systems. Crown’s major facilities are also licensed by New Zealand Customs and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), meeting strict guidelines for security and access. Crown does not store dangerous goods, which reduces risk to your belongings from items stored nearby.
