What makes the price go up or down?
Four things: the area, the exact size, the time and what's included. Area weighs most: according to Tuweco, a central storage unit is around €20-25/m² a month, in Móstoles, Alcorcón, Getafe or Coslada it drops to 14-18 and in Salamanca, Chamberí or Chamartín it can reach 30.
- Size: most operators don't rent less than 1 m². With a few boxes you pay for empty space.
- Time: with 6-12 months, discounts tend to appear; with 2-3 months, they don't.
- Services: in a classic storage unit, pick-up, packing and insurance are added separately.
- VAT: not every website publishes the final price with the 21 %.
Which works out better: a storage unit or storage with home pick-up?
It depends on how often you'll touch what you've stored and whether you can handle the transport. If you go into your things every few weeks and have a van, the classic storage unit wins in euros. If you'll leave them for months untouched, storage with home pick-up saves you the van, the loading and the stairs, which with a storage unit you pay for in hours or in hire.
With our rates: 1 m² of boxes for 24 weeks, with a lift, is €294 (free pick-up, 6 × €49 and free final delivery). In a classic 1 m² storage unit the rent for those months works out cheaper, but it doesn't include pick-up, delivery or insurance.
For a whole flat for half a year or more, and with someone to help you transport, the classic storage unit usually wins. If you're a student and only storing one room for the summer, see the per-box rate (from €45 to €33, one-off payment).
What does furniture storage insurance cover?
A company that transports and stores your things is liable for damage, with a legal limit per kilo under Law 15/2009 on the contract for road carriage of goods, plus any insurance you take out. Our door-to-door storage unit includes basic insurance of up to €500 per contract and €100 per item. With any company, always ask for the maximum amount per item and the list of exclusions before signing.
Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between furniture storage and a storage unit?

Furniture storage is more convenient for moves; a storage unit is cheaper if you go in often and have a way to transport.
Why does a storage unit cost more in the centre than on the outskirts?
Because of property costs, not the service: about €20-25/m² a month in the centre versus 14-18 in Móstoles, Alcorcón, Getafe or Coslada, and up to 30 in Salamanca, Chamberí or Chamartín.
Do prices include VAT?
