Bronco Storage

Summer Storage for Santa Clara University Students

How It Works

Reserve

Reserve your spot with a $20 deposit by June 8th. Customers without a reservation are subject to a $50 fee.

Pack Up

We provide free boxes in Benson for you to pack up all your items and drop them off at our on-campus location.

Pick Up

In the Fall, we'll bring your items back to campus. And hold them longer if you're studying abroad.

How We Make It Easy

Located On Campus

The drop off site for Bronco Storage is located in the Schott parking lot. A short walk from the dorms.

Pay for What You Use

Instead of purchasing a whole unit for the summer, with Bronco Storage you pay for only the items your store. It's way cheaper.

Free Storage Boxes

You'll need something to store your items in. That's why we give out as many free boxes as you need.

Pick Up and Drop Off Services

If hauling storage across campus isn't your thing, we can pick up and drop off your storage from your room or off-campus residence.

Storage While Your Abroad

Studying abroad in the Fall? We'll hold your items until you return and give you one month free storage.

Give $10, Get $10

After you reserve, you'll receive a referral link to share. For each friend you refer, you'll both get $10 off your storage.

About Bronco Storage

Bronco Storage has been providing the most convenient and affordable storage solution to Santa Clara University students for the over 20 years as an independent company that is not affiliated with or controlled by Santa Clara University. The best part about Bronco Storage is that you don’t have to find a vehicle to carry your stuff off-campus or deal with calling around and reserving a spot in some other storage location. Simply reserve with us and we’ll hold your items for the entire Summer or until you return from studying abroad.

Our storage service focuses on offering a very affordable service to SCU students. We only charge for what you store at a very low rate. For instance, if you have 2 boxes worth of stuff and don’t want to ship it home, you can store those 2 boxes with us for only $18 per month! No need to pay for a half empty storage unit.

Packing Supplies

We offer FREE boxes to all our storage customers. Packing paper, tape and bubble wrap are available for purchase when you place your reservation, at our table outside Benson, and in the Schott South Parking Lot.

Even if you are not storing with us, you may purchase boxes, packing paper, tape, and bubble wrap at our table between Benson and the Multicultural Center or in the Schott South Parking Lot during finals week.
