Compare Affordable Storage Units: The Total Cost Is What Matters

A low introductory price may sound tempting. But how much does a LAGERBOX storage unit actually cost if you need it for several weeks or months? When comparing different storage offers, you should therefore look beyond the advertised rental price.

First, determine how long you expect to store your belongings. Then calculate the rent for the entire period, taking into account potential additional costs and transportation expenses. Be sure to distinguish between one-time fees and ongoing costs.

These are the key factors to consider when comparing prices:

Factor to Consider What to Look Out For
Rental Price Calculate the total cost for your planned rental period, taking into account weekly, four-weekly and monthly rates.
Promotional Price How long does the discount apply, and what will the rent be afterwards?
Additional Costs Are there any mandatory fees or additional expenses, such as the cost of a lock?
Insurance Is the required insurance coverage included, or will there be additional costs?
Transportation What expenses will you incur when transporting your belongings to the facility and collecting them later?

Pay attention to the unit measurements as well: Square metres (m²) refer to floor area, while cubic metres (m³) indicate storage volume. A direct comparison is therefore only possible when using the same unit of measurement.

If any costs are unclear, it is best to request a written quote. This way, you will know exactly which prices and conditions apply before making a booking.

Although a security deposit is not part of the actual rental cost, you should still factor it into your budget, as the amount will be temporarily unavailable during the rental period.

Choose the Right Storage Unit Size and Avoid Unnecessary Costs

Why pay for space you don't need? Before renting a LAGERBOX storage unit, you should estimate your space requirements as accurately as possible. A few simple preparations can often help you save valuable storage space:

  • Create an Inventory List: Make a note of the furniture, moving boxes and larger items you want to store. You can sort out anything you no longer need beforehand.

  • Disassemble Furniture: A dismantled dining table or shelving unit often takes up less space than when fully assembled.

  • Stack Boxes Efficiently: Make use of the available height by stacking sturdy boxes on top of one another. Pay attention to their load-bearing capacity and protect fragile items.

  • Keep Access Routes Clear: If you regularly need documents, tools or specific boxes, make sure they remain easily accessible. Allow enough room to move around.

Our Storage Space Calculator helps you estimate your space requirements in advance and find the right storage unit size.

Location Also Affects the Cost

An inexpensive storage unit is not always the best choice if the facility is far away. The distance from your home or business plays an important role. If you are only storing furniture temporarily during a move, a facility further away may be a suitable option. However, if you regularly need access to goods or work materials, shorter journeys can save both time and travel expenses.

In addition to the rental price, you should therefore consider travel and transportation costs and check whether the access hours fit your daily routine. You can find storage units near you through our Location Overview.

Rental Periods and Discounts: How to Find the Right Offer

An attractive discount can significantly reduce your storage rental costs. However, it is important that the offer's terms and conditions suit your plans. If you intend to store your belongings for an extended period, a long-term discount may be worthwhile. On the other hand, flexible rental terms are particularly helpful when moving or renovating without a definite completion date.

Pay attention to the following points when comparing offers:

  • Minimum Rental Period: What is the minimum rental period, and does it suit your planned timeframe?

  • Notice Period: How far in advance do you need to give notice when you no longer need the unit?

  • Advance Payment: Do you need to pay rent for an extended period in advance?

  • Discount Terms: How long does the discount apply, and what price will you pay afterwards?

At LAGERBOX, offers may vary depending on the location, storage unit size and rental period. You should therefore compare the total costs for your planned timeframe and consider the possibility that you may need to extend your storage period.
