Mobile self storage in Abingdon — pod on your driveway, no driving to a depot
Faringdon Removals delivers mobile self storage to every Abingdon postcode — OX13 and OX14 — for £30 per week per 250cuft pod, plus a one-off £99 collection fee. Pod arrives on your driveway at 9am, you load it, we collect by 6pm and take it back to our Oxfordshire depot 12 miles away. Booked online in 90 seconds. No long-term contract.
Why Abingdon chooses mobile over a warehouse
Abingdon is one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in England, and the housing reflects that. Period cottages off Ock Street, three-storey townhouses on East St Helen’s, riverfront homes near Abingdon Lock — none of them friendly to a 7.5-tonne hire van shuffled twice through Marcham Road traffic.
Mobile self storage flips it. We bring the pod to your door, whether that’s a Victorian terrace in central Abingdon, a 1970s semi in Drayton, a modern detached in Sutton Courtenay, a Radley village home, or one of the larger family houses in Marcham. You load in front of your own house, in one day. We take it 12 miles west via the A415 and A420. Same money. Half the work. Zero hire vans.

Abingdon-specific questions
Can the trailer get down Ock Street and the narrow central lanes?
Yes — trailer is 8m × 3m and our driver knows central Abingdon. If you’re on East St Helen’s Street, mention any skip or neighbour’s car in the booking notes and we’ll confirm before the day.
I work at Milton Park — can you do business storage there?
Yes. We deliver pods to MEPC Milton Park tenant units. 35cuft pod (£10/week) is popular for archive and seasonal stock. Invoice billing available — email rather than booking through the cart.
We’re moving from a Drayton 4-bed to a flat — will one pod hold it?
Probably not. A 4-bed house needs two 250cuft pods. The booking gate lets you add a second pod on the same date (same trailer, same £99 collection covers both if they fit). For 5-bed+, book Premium 250cuft and we’ll send the crew.
Is there flood risk at your depot? Abingdon floods.
Our depot is in Faringdon at 102m elevation, nowhere near the Thames floodplain. Pods on hardstanding, alarmed and CCTV. If your Abingdon address is in a flood-risk zone, that’s why people book us — we get contents to high ground before the river rises.
How far is the depot from Abingdon?
12 miles via the A415 then A420 — about 25 minutes outside rush hour. Return deliveries bookable on 48 hours’ notice.
