Rent a self storage room in Basel

To save space and money, it is worth calculating in advance exactly how large the storage room should be. The storage box size guide from placeB gives you some guidelines. Make sure that you stack and unscrew your things as much as possible and that even your longest item has to fit into the storage room.

If you only want to store once and want to move out again later, a cheap, not so central storage room will probably be sufficient. However, if you want to have regular access to your items, it's best to choose a self storage near you or on your way to work.

Make sure that the storage room is dry and secure (e.g. video surveillance). If you store bulky, heavy goods, you will need wide aisles and possibly a goods lift. Also note that you can access your belongings at any time without paying extra.

Unscrew bulky furniture and fill in all gaps to save as much space as possible. Heavy goods belong in the back of the storage room. Things that you want to access at any time should be stored close to the door, ready to hand. Keep a small aisle free in larger storage rooms. Smaller items are best kept in well labeled boxes.
