Life sometimes puts your belongings in limbo for months — or even years. A work assignment abroad. A property purchase that's delayed by a year. A business that needs to scale down temporarily. A family home being cleared out and not yet ready for what comes next. Whatever the reason, InterCity Packers and Movers' long-term storage service is built to give you genuine peace of mind for the long haul — not just for a few weeks.
Our long-term storage plans are designed for durations of 6 months and beyond — right up to 5 years or more with no maximum limit. Unlike short-term storage, where flexibility is everything, long-term storage is about reliability: knowing your furniture, electronics, documents, and valuables are being kept in exactly the same condition they went in, for however long you need. That's what InterCity delivers — 24/7 HD CCTV security, individually locked and alarmed storage units, climate-controlled environments for sensitive items, comprehensive goods insurance, and professional packing that ensures no deterioration over time.
What sets InterCity apart from generic self-storage facilities in India is that we manage the entire process for you. We arrive at your door, professionally pack every item, create a photographic inventory, transport goods to our secured facility, and store them with the same care whether it's six months or five years. When you're ready, we deliver everything back to your new address. You don't need to arrange separate packers, movers, and storage providers — one call, one team, complete accountability.
With a 4.8-star Google rating from over 4,720 verified customers and a presence across 500+ cities in India, InterCity is the name families, expats, businesses, and real estate clients trust for affordable, reliable long-term storage — from Mumbai and Delhi to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and everywhere in between.

Every item covered from day one
Long-term storage is more common than most people think. Here are the situations our customers most often rely on it for — and exactly why it works so well in each case.
Heading overseas for a job assignment, higher education, or a longer stay? Instead of selling your household contents at a fraction of their value, store them safely in India for as long as you're away — and have everything delivered back the moment you return.
Under-construction flats and delayed possession are common realities in India. When your current lease ends before your new home is ready, long-term storage bridges that gap — sometimes for a year or more — without you having to compromise on what you keep.
Moving from a large family home to a smaller flat — whether after retirement, after children move out, or simply for a lifestyle change — often means you have more furniture and belongings than your new space can hold. Long-term storage preserves them while you figure out what the future looks like.
E-commerce brands, manufacturers, and retailers with seasonal inventory peaks use our long-term commercial warehouse storage as a cost-effective alternative to leasing permanent warehouse space. Scale up or down as your business needs change, without a fixed long-term property commitment.
When a family home is inherited or sold, there's often a lot of furniture and personal items that have sentimental or financial value — but no immediate home. Long-term storage gives families the time they need to make thoughtful decisions without rushing to sell or discard things they may regret losing.
Students leaving India for 2–4 year postgraduate programmes frequently need their belongings stored safely back home. Our long-term storage for students is affordable, fully insured, and can be set up quickly — so you can focus on your education without worrying about what's waiting at home.
Long-term storage at InterCity is not just a unit you rent and forget. It is a fully managed service where every step is handled by our team — so your goods are preserved in perfect condition for however many years they're with us.
Long-term storage requires a higher level of packing than short-term. Our team uses double-walled corrugated boxes, industrial stretch wrap, moisture-resistant bubble wrap, silica gel sachets, and thermocol cushioning — every item is packed specifically to withstand years of storage without deteriorating.
We collect your goods directly from your home, office, or current address at a scheduled time that works for you. Our GPS-tracked fleet ensures your belongings arrive at our long-term storage facility safely — there's no need for you to arrange transport or lift a single box yourself.
Every item entering your long-term storage unit is catalogued with a detailed description, photographs, and condition notes — shared with you digitally. This ensures complete transparency about what you have stored, protects you in the unlikely event of an insurance claim, and makes retrieval of specific items simple even years later.
Your goods are stored in an individually locked and alarmed storage unit — not in a shared space. Access is controlled by our biometric and PIN security system. Only you and our authorised personnel can enter your unit. The facility operates under 24/7 HD CCTV surveillance with on-site security guards around the clock.
For items that are sensitive to temperature or humidity — electronics, antiques, artworks, leather furniture, musical instruments, wine, medical equipment, and documents — our climate-controlled long-term storage units maintain stable conditions year-round, regardless of India's intense seasonal weather variations.
Complimentary goods-in-storage insurance covers all items from the day of intake for the entire duration of your long-term storage. We also offer a premium insurance upgrade with full replacement value coverage for high-value electronics, artwork, antiques, jewellery, and commercial inventory — giving you complete financial protection for the long haul.
For customers storing goods for a year or more, InterCity provides optional bi-annual facility condition reports — confirming your goods are secure, undamaged, and correctly stored. This is especially valued by NRIs, expats, and business owners who cannot physically visit the facility during the storage period.
When your long-term storage period ends — or you need goods back sooner — we deliver directly to your new address anywhere in India. Our team unpacks, places items as instructed, and removes all packing materials. If you only need specific items, we can arrange partial retrieval from your inventory list with no disruption to the rest.
Every long-term storage customer at InterCity is assigned a dedicated storage coordinator — a single point of contact who knows your inventory, your storage history, and your requirements. They are available to answer questions, arrange partial access, update your plan, and coordinate your eventual delivery whenever you're ready.
All prices are transparent and itemised from the start. Commit to a longer duration and enjoy lower monthly rates — the longer you store, the more you save per month.
From your first call to the day your goods go in — and all the way to delivery years later — here is exactly what happens at every stage of your long-term storage journey with InterCity.
Fill the form above or call +91 9172323697. Tell us what you need stored, the duration, and your city. We'll respond within 30 minutes with a transparent, itemised quote — no obligation.
Your dedicated storage coordinator conducts a physical or video survey to assess the volume of goods, recommend the correct long-term unit size, and plan the most effective packing approach for extended storage.
Our crew arrives with premium long-term packing materials. Every item is wrapped, cushioned, moisture-protected, photographed, and catalogued into your detailed inventory before being loaded into our vehicle.
Goods are transported to our 24/7 CCTV-secured, insured facility. Stored in your individually locked unit with climate monitoring, full insurance active from day one — and condition reports available throughout.
Give us 48 hours' notice — whether it's 6 months or 5 years later — and we deliver your goods to your new address anywhere in India, unpacked and placed as you direct. Partial retrieval also available.
Thousands of families, NRIs, and businesses across India trust InterCity for long-term storage. Here's what genuinely differentiates us from every other storage provider.
Our long-term storage facilities are secured 24/7 with HD CCTV cameras covering every corner, biometric and PIN-controlled access, individually alarmed storage units, on-site security guards, perimeter fencing, and fire suppression systems. Your goods are monitored and protected every single day — for as many years as they're with us.
India's extreme seasonal temperature swings — from scorching summers to damp monsoons — can seriously damage unprotected goods over time. Our climate-controlled long-term storage units maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round, specifically designed to protect electronics, antiques, leather, artworks, wine, and all other climate-sensitive goods across multi-year storage periods.
Unlike self-storage providers that offer fixed rates regardless of duration, InterCity rewards long-term commitment with progressively better monthly rates. Annual and multi-year plans come with meaningful discounts — so if you're storing for a year or more, you're getting a far better deal per month than someone storing for just 30 days.
Packing for six months is very different from packing for a week. For long-term storage, our team uses industrial-grade moisture-resistant materials, silica gel moisture absorbers, furniture protective wrapping, proper crating for fragile goods, and multi-layered cushioning — because goods stored for years need a fundamentally different level of protection from the start.
Wherever in India you need to store goods — Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, or any of 500+ cities across our pan-India network — InterCity has a professional long-term storage facility near you. And when you're ready to retrieve your goods, we deliver to any address in India, regardless of where you've moved to in the meantime.
Long-term storage customers receive a dedicated storage coordinator who knows your inventory and remains your single point of contact for the entire duration — whether that's 8 months or 4 years. No call centres, no repeating yourself, no confusion. Just one person who knows your goods and can arrange anything you need, any time you need it.

From expats who stored their homes for years to businesses who rely on us for ongoing inventory warehousing — here's what InterCity's long-term storage customers have to say.
"I was posted to Singapore for 2.5 years and couldn't bear to sell my Mumbai flat's contents. InterCity stored everything — 3BHK worth of furniture, electronics, and art — for the full period. When I came back, everything was in perfect condition. The bi-annual condition reports gave me real peace of mind. Exceptional service."
"Our Bangalore office downsized during a restructuring and we needed to store all our IT equipment, furniture, and archived files for nearly a year while we decided on our new space. InterCity handled everything — pickup, packing, secure storage, and final delivery. Not a single item was damaged. We'll use them again without question."
"My parents' home was cleared out after my father's passing and we needed to store the contents while our family decided who would take what. InterCity was compassionate and professional — they stored everything for nearly 18 months, sent regular updates, and made the final delivery seamless. Their dedication made a very difficult time much easier."
India's storage industry has evolved dramatically in recent years, but one area where demand is surging fastest is long-term storage. As more Indians work abroad, buy under-construction properties, run lean businesses, or inherit family homes they're not yet ready to deal with, the need for reliable, professional long-term storage has never been greater. This guide covers everything you need to know — from what qualifies as long-term storage to how much it costs in India, what to look for in a provider, and how to prepare your goods for years of safe storage.
Long-term storage is generally defined as storage lasting 6 months or longer — in contrast to short-term storage, which typically covers a few weeks to a few months. In practice, long-term storage in India covers a spectrum from six months (a common duration for expats on short overseas assignments) to two years (for professionals on longer work contracts abroad) to five or more years (for families managing inherited property or businesses maintaining long-running inventory archives). At InterCity, there is no maximum long-term storage duration. We have customers whose goods have been with us for several years, and we apply the same standard of care, security, and monitoring throughout — whether the duration is 8 months or 8 years.
While both services share the same security infrastructure and insurance standards at InterCity, there are important practical differences. Short-term storage is optimised for flexibility — minimum 15 days, month-to-month billing, and frequent partial access. Long-term storage is optimised for reliability and value — lower monthly rates for longer commitments, industrial-grade packing materials designed to preserve goods over years, optional bi-annual condition reports, climate-controlled unit allocation for sensitive goods, and a dedicated coordinator who maintains your inventory records throughout. The packing approach is different too: long-term packing uses moisture-resistant materials, silica gel sachets, and multi-layer wrapping that goes far beyond what's necessary for a 30-day storage period.
The cost of long-term storage in India varies with unit size, duration, city, and whether climate-controlled storage is required. At InterCity, long-term storage plans start from ₹1,800 per month for small units, with significant monthly discounts for annual and multi-year commitments. For a typical 1BHK household, long-term storage typically costs ₹2,800–₹4,000 per month. A full 2BHK to 3BHK household stored long-term ranges from ₹5,000–₹9,000 per month depending on the city and climate control requirements. All InterCity prices are fully inclusive — professional packing, pickup, insured storage, condition reports, and eventual delivery back to you are all included, with no hidden charges.
Choosing the wrong long-term storage provider is a much costlier mistake than choosing the wrong short-term one — because the consequences only become apparent after months or years of storage. When evaluating long-term storage companies in India, look specifically for: genuine climate-controlled unit options (not just basic temperature management), individual unit locking rather than shared open-plan storage, comprehensive goods-in-storage insurance that covers the full duration, industrial-grade long-term packing materials rather than standard moving boxes, a dedicated contact person rather than a call centre, and transparent, fully inclusive pricing that doesn't add surprise charges for access or retrieval. InterCity meets every one of these criteria across our entire network.
Even with InterCity handling the professional packing, a few simple preparations on your end will ensure the best possible outcome for goods stored long-term. Defrost and fully dry all appliances at least 48 hours before pickup — moisture inside a refrigerator or washing machine can cause serious internal damage over a long storage period. Clean upholstered furniture to remove food residue, which can attract insects. Remove all batteries from electronics and remote controls — battery acid leakage is one of the most common causes of long-term storage damage that could have been easily prevented. Drain fuel from petrol-powered equipment. Separate and clearly label any items you may need to access during the storage period, so they can be packed and positioned for easy retrieval. Finally, photograph all high-value items yourself before handover as an additional personal record — and inform your coordinator of anything with particular sentimental or financial value.
Everything you need to know about our long-term storage service — answered simply, honestly, and with full detail. No vague answers, no jargon.
