About Storage Genie
South Africa's original Up Town self-storage provider. Creating space where you live, work and play since 2007.
Who We Are
Pioneers of Up Town Storage
Storage Genie is an innovative, industry-leading company that has set the standard in South African self-storage since 2007. With more than 18 years of personal customer care and professional administration, we have the experience and confidence to deliver exceptional service to every client.
We pioneered the 'Up Town' storage model – bringing extra space right into the neighbourhoods where you work, live and play. By operating exclusively from established office parks and shopping malls, we made self-storage convenient, safe and accessible in a way that had never been done before in South Africa.
These easy-access units allow families and businesses to store excess possessions when they are not needed, and retrieve them effortlessly when they are. We were the first self-storage company in South Africa to operate from commercial and retail outlets – built around you, the customer.
“We know that security, accessibility and affordability are non-negotiable in today's lifestyle. Space in prime suburbs and city office parks often comes at a premium. Not with Storage Genie.”

Our Concept
What Is 'Up Town' Storage?
Most storage companies put their units in industrial parks on the outskirts of town. We did the opposite. 'Up Town' storage means your extra space is right in the neighbourhood – in the mall where you shop, or the office park where you work.
In Your Neighbourhood
Every facility is located inside an established office park or shopping mall – no industrial zones, no long drives to the edge of town. Storage where you already are.
Commercial-Grade Security
Operating inside commercial and retail developments means our sites benefit from existing security infrastructure, plus our own CCTV, electric fencing, and access control.
Open When You Need It
Most facilities offer access Monday–Friday 9 AM–6 PM and Saturday 9 AM–2 PM (Sunday closed). Access hours may vary by location – contact your facility for specific times.
What Sets Us Apart
The Storage Genie Difference
We have negotiated the best deals to make extra space a realistic everyday option – not a luxury. Here is what you get with every Storage Genie unit.
South Africa's First
We were the first self-storage company in South Africa to operate exclusively from commercial and retail outlets. A model that has since been imitated – but never matched.
Rent for Just One Month
No one else offers this. If you need storage for a single month, you pay for a single month. No long-term lock-in, no penalties, no awkward exit clauses.
Book in 15 Minutes
Our instant booking process means you can go from enquiry to move-in in under 15 minutes. Call us, choose your unit, sign your lease, pay your deposit – done.
Great Locations
We negotiate directly with office parks and shopping centres to keep our costs low – and pass those savings on to you. Premium locations with flexible month-to-month terms.
