Five Reasons Why Hippo is an Affordable Self Storage Solution

May 06, 2026  /  Jim Mullany

Hippo Self Storage’s affordable container storage is a real point of difference as the cost-of-living crunch continues. Just yesterday, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised interest rates for a third straight time. This rate increase, combined with higher petrol prices as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has put a strain on household and business budgets alike. In this environment, Hippo’s low cost self storage offering becomes a real advantage.

The are five key reasons why Hippo’s container storage at its Mordialloc self storage site is more affordable than many other facilities:

1.        Lower self storage margins. Hippo operates a lower margin business model meaning that customers are charged less for self storage than they would be by many other providers.

2.        Limited access hours. Hippo Self Storage’s limited access hours of Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 4pm excluding public holidays (subject to change*) means that the business operates with a lower cost base than many other self storage companies. As a result, it is able to charge lower prices for the use of its shipping container storage units. For customers who don’t need to access their goods on a day-to-day basis, this is a real benefit because they save money without compromising on their storage experience.

3.        Flexible self storage offering. There is no minimum storage duration at Hippo and customers only pay for the time that they store. So, for example, if a customer has paid for one month’s storage and then decides to vacate after two weeks, Hippo will refund the balance. This reflects Hippo’s goal of making the customer’s storage experience as positive as possible.

4.        No hidden storage fees. There are no hidden storage fees at Hippo such as an administration or sign-up charges.

5.        Range of shipping container storage unit sizes. Hippo has a range of storage unit sizes including 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers. This means that customers are able to choose a unit that best matches their storage requirements. For example, if they only have a relatively small amount of items that they want to store (such as camping gear or archive boxes) they can utilise one of the smaller units and save on costs by not paying for more storage space than they actually need.

Households and businesses seeking better value for their self storage requirement are choosing Hippo. Just recently, a number of new customers have come from other facilities where the storage prices were getting out of hand. Similarly, some businesses have come to Hippo as a more affordable storage alternative to a warehouse or factory (where there are also other costs involved such as body corporate fees and utilities). In addition, Hippo’s Mordialloc self storage facility provides customers with the convenience of being able to drive right up to their container storage units to load and unload goods. And then there is Hippo’s customer service. This family owned business prides itself on providing the best customer experience possible.
