Mobile self storage in Wantage — pod on your driveway, no driving to a depot
Faringdon Removals delivers mobile self storage to every Wantage postcode — all of OX12 — 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 to our Oxfordshire depot just 10 miles away. Booked online in 90 seconds. No long-term contract.
Why Wantage chooses mobile over a warehouse
Wantage is Faringdon’s closest neighbour town and one of the fastest-growing in Oxfordshire — Grove alone has added thousands of homes across Crab Hill, Monks Furlong and the Vale Park estates. New-builds mean tight driveways, sole-access lanes, and not enough room to leave a hire van parked while you load. Older central Wantage around Market Place and Newbury Street is even tighter.
Mobile self storage flips it. We bring the pod to your door — townhouse off Mill Street, new-build on Crab Hill, Vale Park family home in Grove, thatched cottage in Letcombe Regis, Childrey farmhouse, or one of the Hanney villages. You load in front of your own house, in one day. We take it back 10 miles west on the A417. Same money. Half the work. Zero hire vans.

Wantage-specific questions
I’m on a new-build estate in Grove with a tight shared drive — will the trailer fit?
Almost always yes. Trailer needs 8m × 3m and our driver routinely works Crab Hill and Monks Furlong. Shared block paving with bollards? Mention it in booking notes and send a photo. Worst case we park on the road outside.
I’m RAF Grove on a 6-month posting — can I store just for that?
Yes. 4-week minimum, then cancel any time with whole-week refunds on unused rent. 250cuft for 26 weeks = £978 all-in (£99 collect + 26 × £30 + £99 return). Cheaper than a self-storage warehouse plus your time and fuel.
We’re moving from a large house in Letcombe Regis to a flat — multiple pods?
Two 250cuft pods on the same trailer slot for a single £99 collection. Three-pod jobs use the Premium crew. Add the second pod inside the booking flow before payment.
How quickly can you do a return delivery to Wantage?
48 hours’ notice subject to trailer availability. The depot is 10 miles via the A417 — about 20 minutes — so same-day returns are sometimes possible.
Is there a cheaper option than self-storage on the A338?
A338 operators typically charge £35–£45/week for a 25–35sqft unit and need you to drive a hire van. Our 250cuft pod is £30/week + one-off £99 — and we come to you. Detailed breakdown on our comparison page.
