The suburbs: From Urdorf to Winterthur

Even outside the city, you don't have to miss out on self storage. In the Limmattal, the Urdorf location is at your disposal, while the Furttal offers two facilities in Regensdorf. Anyone living or working north of the city will find a box near the airport in Kloten, and on the Gold Coast, Erlenbach serves the right bank of the lake. In Winterthur, Squarefoot operates two locations for the entire region.

Commuters in particular benefit from looking at the suburbs: If your storage unit is on your way to work, loading and unloading is easily done in passing.

How to choose the right location

Three simple questions will help you choose the location:

• How often do you need access? If you collect files, tools or sports equipment weekly, choose a location close to your home or workplace. For seldom-used moving goods, the suburbs are also a good option.
• How do you transport your things? Locations such as Regensdorf, Urdorf or Glatttalstrasse are particularly convenient to reach by car. If you travel by tram and cargo bike, you will benefit from the city centre addresses.
• How much space do you need? The boxes range in size between 1 and 40 m³ – from a small compartment for seasonal clothes to a storage unit for an entire household.

A practical tip: Before booking, check the access to your preferred location. A loading zone or parking spaces in front of the building, trolleys and wide corridors make loading and unloading significantly easier. And if you are unsure about the size: Switching to a larger or smaller box is possible at any time later on – so you are not locked into your first choice.

Flexible rental: Overview of terms

No matter which location you choose, the terms remain equally fair: The minimum rental period is 30 days, after which the storage unit can be cancelled monthly. Rent is understood as a monthly price, excluding 8,1 % VAT; a one-off registration fee of 40 CHF applies. Currently, you also get the first month for 1 CHF – with a minimum commitment of two months.

Thanks to a personal PIN code, you have 24/7 access to your box at many locations, from 00 to 24. What the rent costs in detail depends on the location and box size – an overview can be found on our self storage costs page.
