our story (and why we’re called ‘henfield’)
We set up a new family-owned company, Henfield Hire Ltd, to buy the operations of an existing operation called ‘Henfield Hire’ in Horsham, West Sussex.
The name of company (which we still use, of course) was based on an initial plan by the previous owner to open the car hire business on a site in Henfield, just outside Brighton. However, there was a last minute change of location and the grand opening took place in Horsham instead. As the branding work had already been done the name ‘Henfield Hire’ stuck. In fact Henfield is now the name of the little box-man you’ll see on our website and on the side of our vans – we’re very attached to him and his name!
“64% Cheaper” Than Other Self Storage
With the growing interest in self-storage, The Times newspaper researched the self-storage market (principally in London) and wrote about our impressive price savings. In the published article (entitled ‘Avoid Storage Rip-offs’), our Staples Corner branch produced the cheapest storage quote by a country mile.
free collection: lending a hand
Self-storage is often needed at the most stressful times in our lives, so we offer free collection to save you time, effort and money. Henfield Hire has a large fleet of vehicles available for free collection within a 30 mile range of your local branch. Please see our local self storage stores to learn more about this Free Collection service.
secure & safe storage
All of our storage units are secure and safe. The units are steel-walled and inside brick-built warehouses. All our facilities have the full range of security and safety equipment and we have full public liability insurance. Are you looking for the latest self-storage offers and promotions?

Why Henfield is Cheaper
First, we keep our overheads low. We can do this as our stores are not located on the high street (where we would pay a big premium). Second, we don’t have a head office – we work on a local level. Third, our team members don’t just sit behind a desk waiting for the phone to ring – we jump in the van and help our customers move their goods, so we save your removal or van hire costs.
