The Student Storage Flat Rate: $500 for 3 Months, Campus Pickup Included
Summer in the city has a way of creating a pile. The dorm has to be empty by finals. The winter coats, the bike, and the boxes of books are hogging a room you would rather use, and they have nowhere to go until fall. The usual fix means renting a unit, borrowing a van, and giving up a Saturday to haul it all across town.
Here is the friendlier version for students: one simple summer price, and someone else carries the heavy part. A snail gets to take its home along without ever breaking a sweat, and for a summer, so can you. If the comes-to-you idea is new, start with full-service storage explained. If you are already sold, this post covers the student deal and how to book it.
What the $500 student flat rate really gets you
Summer's Summer Storage flat rate is $500 for three months of full-service storage, for students, with pickup at or near any NYC campus and delivery included. To book, start with a free quote. Not a student? A free month of storage with a three-month minimum is open to anyone.
Key takeaways
- One simple price, for students. The Summer Storage flat rate is $500 for three months of storage, and it is a student rate.

What the $500 student storage flat rate is (and what's included)
The Summer Storage flat rate is one simple price for students: $500 for three months of full-service storage, with pickup at or near any NYC campus and delivery included. It is one number for the whole summer, not a monthly bill that adds up and not a unit you go and fill yourself.
Here is what "included" means in practice. Full-service, or valet, storage is the kind that comes to you: Summer picks up your things, stores them, and redelivers them when you ask, so there is no unit to rent, haul to, or visit. Your $500 covers the pickup at or near your campus and the delivery, so the part most people dread, the moving day, is handled for you.
One honest note on the word "included." The $500 is a student rate and covers your storage plus pickup and delivery. If you would also like Summer to pack your things, packing is a separate paid add-on you can choose, not part of the $500. That way you know exactly what the price covers and what would be extra.
How the student flat rate works, start to finish
The student flat rate is a simple cycle: Summer picks up your things at or near campus, stores them for the summer, and redelivers them when you ask, all for one flat $500 for three months. Here is what each step looks like.
- Summer comes to you and picks up. Tell Summer what is going into storage, and a local crew meets you at or near your NYC campus and takes it away. There is no van to rent, no loading ramp, and no round trips across town.
- Your things wait in a real warehouse. Everything is kept in a secure, climate-controlled warehouse in Long Island City. Summer is a NYC moving and storage company, so a local team looks after your things through the summer.
- Summer redelivers when your summer is up. When you are ready for your things, just ask, and Summer brings them back to you. Both the pickup and the delivery are part of the flat rate, so there is no separate moving day to plan.
That is the whole loop for one price. You never touch a dolly, and your things quietly take care of themselves while you enjoy the summer.
Who the $500 flat rate is for (and what is open to everyone else)
The $500 flat rate is for students only, and it was practically made for the summer move-out: a dorm room or apartment to clear, with pickup at or near any NYC campus and delivery included. If one of these sounds like your summer, this is your deal.
- Heading home for the summer. Store the dorm room over the break instead of hauling a semester's worth of boxes home and back.
- Moving off campus in the fall. Your next place is not ready yet, and your things need a safe spot to land for the summer.
- Clearing space in a small room. Tuck away the winter coats, the bike, and the bulky off-season gear, and live in the space you have while the weather is warm.
Not a student? The $500 flat rate is not for everyone, but two other options are. Summer offers a free month of storage with a three-month minimum, open to anyone, and storage has no minimum term, with flexible, month-to-month billing.
These are separate options, not one stacked mega-deal, so the best move is to tell Summer your situation in a free quote and let them point you to the one that fits you best.
One student put it this way:
How to book: start with a free quote
Booking the student flat rate starts with a free quote, which is just a quick way to tell Summer what you are storing and that you are a student. There is no cost to ask and no commitment in getting one.
You tell Summer what is going into storage, whether that is a dorm room, a closet of off-season gear, or a small apartment. Summer sets you up with the flat rate and a pickup at or near your campus. That is the whole to-do list on your side.
If you are still weighing the numbers, the deeper picture on pricing lives in what full-service storage costs, and the bigger idea of storing by the season is in seasonal storage. When you are ready, a free quote is the one step that gets your summer sorted.
Is the student storage flat rate right for you?
The student flat rate is the right call if you are a student storing over the summer, and an easy one if a few of these sound like you:
- ☐ You are a student who needs a summer of storage without a moving day, and one simple price sounds easier than a monthly bill.
- ☐ You are heading home for the summer, moving off campus in the fall, or clearing a dorm room.
- ☐ You would rather have your things picked up at or near your campus and brought back, with no van to rent and no unit to visit.
- ☐ You want them kept in a secure, climate-controlled warehouse while you are away.
- ☐ You would like to see your number first, and a free quote costs nothing to ask for.
One honest note. If you would rather keep your own key and haul your things yourself, a self-storage unit lets you do that, though the van, the loading, and the trips stay with you. But for a student's summer away, where you want one simple price and no moving day, the flat rate that comes to you is usually the gentler path.
If you are not a student, the $500 flat rate is not the one for you, but a free month of storage with a three-month minimum is open to anyone, and storage has no minimum term.
