Self-storage for expats: what's important
Life as an expatriate is often exciting and challenging at the same time. A new country, a new culture and often also a temporary home – all of this brings with it numerous changes. Such a change of location often raises the question of where to put all the personal belongings that don’t fit in the temporary accommodation. This is where self-storage comes into play! In this article, you’ll find out what’s important when looking for a storage unit for expats and how STORE ROOM can offer you a flexible solution. We’ll show you the advantages of self-storage for expats.
1. Flexibility in booking and duration
Whether you are only abroad for a few months or for several years, your storage space should be able to adapt to your stay. At STORE ROOM, you have the freedom to choose the rental period according to your needs – whether short or long term. If you want to change your storage space spontaneously, you can do so at any time, as we offer a flexible booking that you can easily upgrade or downgrade. So your storage space remains as flexible as your lifestyle.
2. Easy accessibility and multiple locations
Especially as an expat, you want to be sure that your storage space is in an easily accessible location. At STORE ROOM, you have a choice of four locations in and around Vienna:
- Vienna South (in 2345 Brunn am Gebirge)
- Vienna Rennweg (3rd district in Vienna)
- Vienna Erdberg (3rd district in Vienna) and
- Vienna Handelskai (20th district in Vienna)
All locations are conveniently located and easy to reach, so you can always get to your things quickly when you need them.
3. Secure storage of your personal belongings
Security is particularly important if you are storing valuable or personal items while you are abroad.
At STORE ROOM, we attach great importance to modern security measures to protect your belongings. Video surveillance, alarm systems and fire protection measures ensure your safety.
We also offer basic insurance with cover of € 4,000, which you can flexibly adjust to higher values. So you can rest assured that your items are kept safe.
4. Round-the-clock access and contactless management
With an international lifestyle often comes an irregular daily routine – so it’s handy if you can access your storage space at any time.
With STORE ROOM, you have 24/7 access to your storage compartment and can manage everything conveniently via our smart app.
You can even give friends, colleagues or family members access without having to be there yourself. A digital key via app makes it possible – quickly, easily and securely.
5. Practical storage services for expats
Especially if you are new to a city, organizing a move or transport can be challenging. STORE ROOM supports you with practical additional services: When you book a storage unit, you will receive one of our vans for 4 hours free of charge with 100 free kilometers. If you need help organizing your storage space, we also offer helpful transport aids such as trolleys directly at our locations. And if you would like to have all your transportation done professionally, we will be happy to put you in touch with one of our partner companies.
