Choosing a good storage
Choosing the right storage for your move. It may be the right solution for your problems of storing your goods safely for a certain time. We will enlighten you on this.
The different storage solutions
- Conventional storage: this is traditional storage, often managed by removal companies. Your goods are monitored 24/7 and stored in ventilated wooden crates.
- Self-storage: this is the same system as traditional storage, but you are responsible for storing your goods in the box, which is accessible 24/7 via a confidential code.
- Mobile storage: the principle is to receive your box directly at home. Once the load has been locked, agents will come and secure it and take it to the storage location, where you can access it by appointment only.
- Self-storage in a shipping container: this is a watertight, insulated metal box, often placed on the ground in a secure area. Access is mainly free of charge, where you can park in front of your container.
How does a storage facility work?
A lease agreement is established with the general terms of sale and storage information. Such as its volume, the duration of the contract, the liability of each party and the tariff. You will therefore generally have to provide your ID, proof of residence dated less than 3 months ago, a bank account and a security deposit. The price varies according to the size of the box, its rental period, its accessibility and its availability. On average, between 50 and 100 € for a box between 1m2 and 5m2.
