We all know moving involves many parts, and finding a vehicle to move with is another time consuming and costly piece. That's why Kennards Self Storage Brunswick is making it easier to get started. With our Move In on Us special, all new customers can take advantage of a free GoGet van for the day and a free lifetime GoGet membership, so you can load up your belongings and bring them straight to your new storage unit. Best of all, it comes on top of our Grand Opening Special of up to 30% off selected units.

Whether you're moving between rentals in Brunswick, renovating in Coburg, decluttering a Northcote apartment or storing stock for a small business, the right vehicle can save you time, money and a lot of trips back and forth.

In this guide, we'll explain what the offer includes, how GoGet works, how to make the most of your free van day and why Kennards Self Storage Brunswick is a convenient choice for storage in Melbourne's inner north.

What Is the Move In on Us Offer?

The Move In on Us offer gives all new customers at Kennards Self Storage Brunswick a free day's hire of the GoGet van parked right out the front, or any van in the GoGet network, plus a free lifetime GoGet membership. It's designed to take one of the biggest costs and hassles out of moving into storage, so you can focus on packing rather than working out how to get everything there.

The offer has two parts. The first is a full day of free van hire through GoGet up to 80km. Pick up the GoGet van parked right out the front of the centre, or book any van in the GoGet network closer to home using our unique promo code. That gives you enough time to load your belongings, make the trip to Albert Street and unload into your unit without watching the clock. The second is a free lifetime GoGet membership, which means you can keep using GoGet cars and vans long after move-in day without paying a membership fee.

The offer is available to all new customers, and it comes on top of our Grand Opening Special, which gives you up to 30% off selected units. Terms and conditions apply, so speak with the Brunswick team or check the centre page for full details before you book.

How Does GoGet Work?

GoGet is a car share service that lets members book cars, vans and SUVs by the hour or day, with fuel included in the booking. Founded in 2003, it has grown into one of Australia's largest car share networks, with thousands of vehicles across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Instead of visiting a rental depot, members book a vehicle through the GoGet app or website, then collect it from its home location, known as a pod. Pods are found in at selected Kennards Self Storage Centres, dedicated on-street bays, car parks, shopping centres and university campuses, so there's often one close to home.

Because fuel, registration and maintenance are all covered, and sign up is done digitally there's no paperwork to fill in on the day. You simply unlock the vehicle with smartcard available at Kennards Self Storage Brunswick, drive and return it to the same pod when your booking ends. A van is ideal for moving furniture, boxes and bulky household items that won't fit in a standard car.

GoGet is also P-plater friendly. If you're 18 or older, have at least one year of unsupervised driving experience and a clean driving record, you can open your own GoGet account, including on green Ps. Red P-platers, first-year P-platers and drivers under 18 can't open their own account, but they can be added as an additional driver on an existing GoGet account.

How to Make the Most of Your Free Van Day

A full day with a van gives you plenty of time, but a little planning will help you get even more out of it.

1. Choose your Kennards Storage unit first. Visit the centre, our website or call our customer service team on 1800 658 855 to work out the right unit size. We offer digital sign up to make securing your storage space simple and easy. 

2. Pack before you pick up the van. Have boxes packed, labelled and sealed before your booking starts. Our Brunswick box shop stocks boxes, tape, bubble wrap and moving packs if you need supplies.

3. Load heavy items first. Put furniture, whiteware and heavy boxes in the van first, then fill gaps with lighter boxes and soft items such as bedding.

4. Unload onto Brunswick's complimentary moving equipment, flat bed trolleys, mattress trolleys etc and relocate the goods to your space. 

5. Plan a second run if needed. If you're moving a larger household, you may have time for more than one trip. Plan your route to avoid peak-hour traffic around Sydney Road. 

A bit of preparation means less stress on the day and more time to settle into your new space.
