Hi all, I'm a university student heading abroad for around a year and need a small storage unit (5x5 is plenty) in Cardiff. Mostly clothes, books, and a few boxes (mostly dishes).

I've been quoted by Shurgard, Big Yellow, and Storage Giant, but prices vary a lot once you factor in insurance and post-intro price hikes. Any recommendations for places that have been honest about ongoing costs, or warnings about ones to avoid? Also curious whether independents are worth considering over the big chains.

Thanks!
