Why People Are Ditching Units

For anyone living light (digital nomads, seasonal workers, remote professionals, or people simply between places) the traditional storage unit feels like the wrong tool for the job. Big. Expensive. Mostly empty.

Storage units are great if you’re moving an entire household or have a garage’s worth of gear. But if you just need to store a few key things, the math and the space doesn’t make sense. Let’s be honest:

• Units are often too big

• Overpriced for small needs

• When those sparkly 3 month 50% off deals run out, your price sky rockets

• Who wants to lug their stuff through a maze of corridors…

That’s why more travellers are breaking up with the old-school storage model and switching to something a lot smarter: they're caching their stuff.

Wait, What Does "Caching" Mean?

At Cache Depot, “cache” is our way of saying itemized storage.

Instead of renting a giant locker to store a handful of things, you just pay to store what you actually need to: one suitcase, one snowboard bag, one set of winter tires, one box of stuff you probably should’ve sorted last year.

Who Is Cache Storage For?

• Digital nomads juggling gear and global itineraries

• Seasonal workers who bounce between cities (and climates)

• People between homes who don’t want to commit to a giant unit

• Anyone who’s typed “mini storage Vancouver” into Google and come up empty

One of our customers, a self described nomad, told us she had been Googling "mini storage Vancouver" and "very small storage lockers." What she really needed was just a safe spot for her suitcase and a few essentials while she traveled. Cache storage gave her exactly that.

The Cache Depot Approach

We specialize in secure, local storage that works for how people live today. Our smallest plan starts at $20 to store a single regular item (which is anything you can carry yourself). If you’ve got a bit more, we also offer 3 items for $35 or 5 for $55. And of course, we can store as many items as you need, you only pay for what you store.

• Scalable prices that flex with what you are storing

• No additional fees for set-up, locks, etc

• Free, drive-up access to drop off and pick-up your items

• No need to organize and manage your own unit
