Moving Services in Indianapolis
Indianapolis might not have the sky-high rents of a coastal city, but that doesn't make student move-out any less chaotic. When spring semester ends at Butler University, a few thousand students try to vacate Hinkle Fieldhouse-adjacent dorms within the same 48-hour window. Over at IU Indianapolis, commuter students and residence hall students alike are clearing out while juggling final projects. And everywhere in between, the clock is ticking -- leases are ending, summer plans are starting, and your stuff needs to go somewhere.
Storage Scholars makes the transition seamless. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you're ready. No renting a truck from the U-Haul on Michigan Street. No hauling boxes to a self-storage place on the west side. No leaving your stuff in a friend's garage where Indiana's summer humidity can wreck it. You handle finals. We handle the move.
Indianapolis weather swings hard. Summers push into the 90s with humidity that makes it feel like 100, and the city averages 40+ thunderstorm days between May and September. A non-climate-controlled storage unit in Indy means your electronics bake in July heat, your winter clothes develop mildew, and your wooden desk starts to warp. Then winter hits and the same unit drops below freezing -- cracking plastics and damaging anything temperature-sensitive.
Storage Scholars provides climate-controlled storage that stays consistent through Indiana's full range of weather. Our team coordinates with your school's move-out calendar, arrives at your room with all packing materials, and handles the heavy lifting. From May through August, your belongings stay in a stable, regulated environment while you're home for the summer or working an internship somewhere else.
Moving to Indianapolis from out of state? Butler draws students nationally, and IU Indianapolis has a growing residential population from across the Midwest and beyond. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Indianapolis facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. No renting a trailer, no asking your parents to drive eight hours with a loaded SUV.
Whether you're switching from Butler's residential campus to an apartment in Broad Ripple, moving from IU Indianapolis housing to a place in Fountain Square, or heading home for the summer, we handle the physical work. Indianapolis is spread out -- Butler's campus on the north side is a solid 20-minute drive from IU Indianapolis near downtown, and off-campus apartments are scattered across neighborhoods from Irvington to Speedway. We cover the whole metro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Storage Scholars offers full-service student storage in Indianapolis with pickup from your dorm or apartment, climate-controlled storage, and delivery. While local options like Navis Pack & Ship and Guys and Dollies offer related services, Storage Scholars is the only provider that bundles the entire experience specifically for college students. We coordinate with university housing calendars, provide packing materials, and handle all the physical work. Store Space Self Storage specifically advertises proximity to IU Indianapolis, Butler, and Marian -- but proximity to a storage unit isn't the same as having someone pick up from your room.
A climate-controlled 5x5 unit in Indianapolis runs $50 to $90 per month. Add a one-day truck rental ($30-$50), packing supplies ($20-$40), gas, and your time, and a summer of DIY storage costs $350 to $500+. Storage Scholars' all-inclusive pricing covers pickup, packing materials, three months of climate-controlled storage, and delivery. For most Indy students, our pricing is competitive with DIY once you account for the full cost of doing it yourself.
Yes. Butler is one of our primary Indianapolis campuses. We know Butler's residential layout -- from Residential College to ResCo to the apartment-style housing -- and we coordinate pickups around Butler's specific move-out schedule. Whether you're staying in campus housing or one of the many off-campus apartments along West 46th Street or near the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood, we pick up from your location.
Yes. We serve students at IU Indianapolis, including those in campus housing and nearby off-campus apartments. The university's downtown location means many students live in apartments scattered across multiple neighborhoods. We pick up from wherever you are -- campus housing, an apartment in Fountain Square, or a rental near Mass Ave.
IU Bloomington is a major campus about an hour south of Indianapolis, and "IU Bloomington summer storage" frequently comes up in student searches. Contact us for information about coverage in the Bloomington area and broader central Indiana region.
Guys and Dollies is a local Indianapolis moving company that markets to students. They provide labor for moving, which is helpful if you've already figured out where your stuff is going. Storage Scholars is a different model -- we handle the entire chain from pickup to storage to delivery. You don't need to find a storage unit, rent a truck, or figure out logistics. We show up at your room, pack everything, store it in our climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you need it. It's the difference between hiring movers and hiring a complete storage solution.
Your belongings are stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility with 24/7 monitoring. Indianapolis summers bring heat, humidity, and severe thunderstorms (including occasional tornado warnings), and our facility is built to handle all of it. All items are inventoried, labeled, and tracked from pickup to delivery. We carry insurance on stored belongings and maintain clear communication throughout the storage period.
