How does self storage work?

Renting a storage unit at Squarefoot is child's play.

The short version:

When you choose a location on our website and complete the online booking, all your questions will be answered step by step.

The long version:

  • Choose a location and find the perfect one for you.
  • Select a unit at the location that fits your space requirements.
  • Receive your rental contract from us and sign it.
  • Pay for the unit, either in advance, by setting up a direct debit order, or by entering your credit card details for monthly rental payments.
  • Go to the self storage location to store your items. You will receive instructions on how to get in and find your unit in good time before your first visit.
  • Walk over to your self storage unit inside the facility.
  • Pack your unit. A self storage unit is intended solely for storage purposes. Move the items you want to keep into the unit. If you want to fill it to capacity, play a little grown-up Tetris – careful stacking can work space wonders.
  • Lock your unit until you need something again and leave the facility, knowing your stored furniture, boxes, bikes, skis, etc. are in the best hands at Squarefoot.
  • Voila, that's it! You are now a proud Squarefoot Selfstorage customer!
