Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SIRVA and Storage Scholars partnership?
SIRVA Worldwide, one of the world's largest commercial moving and relocation companies, partnered with Storage Scholars to expand services for college students and families going through corporate relocations. When a family relocates for work and their child is in college, the student's move-in and storage logistics often fall through the cracks. This partnership addresses that gap—families using SIRVA's relocation services can seamlessly connect with Storage Scholars for their college student's storage and moving needs. It's a natural fit: SIRVA handles the family's household move, and Storage Scholars handles the college side with the same level of professional service.
How does this partnership benefit college students?
For students whose families are going through a corporate relocation, this partnership simplifies a stressful process. Instead of coordinating two separate moves—the family home and the college dorm—parents can arrange both through a connected service chain. Storage Scholars handles the student's end: picking up belongings from campus, storing them in a climate-controlled facility, and delivering to the new dorm or shipping to the family's new location. This is especially valuable for military families, international relocations, and any situation where the family home is changing while the student is mid-semester. One less logistical headache during an already chaotic time.
Why do major moving companies partner with college storage specialists?
The college storage market has unique requirements that traditional moving companies aren't set up to handle: tight move-out windows that coincide with finals, dormitory-specific access restrictions, campus-by-campus scheduling, and a customer base (18-22 year olds) that communicates very differently than corporate clients. Companies like Storage Scholars have built infrastructure specifically for these challenges across 100+ campuses. For a company like SIRVA, partnering with a specialist is more efficient than trying to build that capability in-house. It's a model that's becoming more common in the moving industry—rather than being generalists, companies are creating networks of specialists that serve specific segments well.
What does this mean for the future of college moving and storage?
The SIRVA partnership signals that college storage is being taken seriously by the broader moving and relocation industry. As more families need coordinated solutions—especially with the rise in remote work leading to more frequent relocations—the demand for seamless college-to-home logistics will grow. Storage Scholars' model of campus-specific, full-service storage is well-positioned for this shift. Expect to see more partnerships between national moving companies and specialized college storage providers, creating better experiences for students and parents who are managing complex, multi-location moves.
