How does renting storage space work, and how does The Storage Scanner help you with that?
Storage space, or self storage, has become extremely popular in the Netherlands in recent years. More and more people need extra space temporarily or permanently — for example, during a move, renovation, separation, or simply because homes are getting smaller. Instead of getting rid of your belongings, you can easily rent a secure, locked storage unit from a professional provider. You’ll receive your own key or access code and can access your belongings during fixed hours, or sometimes even 24/7.
Lots of confusion about prices
In practice, however, finding the right storage space can be tricky. Prices vary greatly between providers and cities — some companies charge service fees or VAT separately, while others include these in the rental price. In addition, there are different types of storage: from traditional self storage units to garage boxes, and from shipping containers to companies that pick up and return your belongings (pick-up & delivery storage).
