The single biggest factor in what you pay is the size of unit you choose. In Exeter, units typically start around 10 sq ft — about the size of a large cupboard — and go all the way up to 250 sq ft or more for business or industrial use. A rough rule of thumb: a studio flat's contents need around 25–50 sq ft, a two-bedroom home needs around 75–100 sq ft, and a three-to-four bedroom house needs 150 sq ft or above. Using our sizing guide before you book ensures you do not pay for space you do not need.
Location
Where a facility is based affects its running costs — and therefore its prices. City-centre storage in Exeter tends to cost more than facilities on industrial estates or the town's outskirts, because commercial rents are higher. Bright Exeter is located to give you the best of both worlds: easy access without the premium price tag of a high-street address. Below is a comparison of our weekly prices against the average for the Exeter area.

How long
Many storage companies charge more if you only need storage for a short period, or lock you into long contracts with penalties for leaving early. At Bright Exeter, we do not believe in either approach. Our storage is available on a rolling monthly basis — you pay for the month ahead and can give notice at any time. The longer you stay, the more you save through our loyalty pricing, but there is never a penalty for leaving when the time is right for you. Whether you need storage for a week or a year, the process is exactly the same.
Insurance
All storage at Bright Exeter is covered by our StripeShield™ insurance, which starts from just £1.50 per week. While some facilities charge insurance as a mandatory add-on with no choice of provider, we are transparent about what is included and offer tiered cover levels to match the value of what you are storing. StripeShield™ covers theft, fire, flood, and accidental damage — giving you real peace of mind without significantly adding to your weekly bill. Full details of each cover level are available on our insurance page.
