Renting a storage unit in Vienna: what you should look out for

57.5 per cent of all Austrians live in a rented flat. As an analysis of mail forwarding requests shows, just over 10 per cent of the population move home every year. There can be many reasons for this. Sometimes tenants cannot move directly and need to store their furniture temporarily. What is the best solution and what are the tricks? Read our short self storage article.

What to do with furniture and favorite belongings? 

Nobody really likes moving house, right? Maybe there's the odd fanatic who loves nothing more than packing all their possessions into boxes, loading them onto a truck, driving around, hauling packages, and unpacking everything in their new home. 

But sometimes things don't go according to plan. What do you do with your belongings if you sell your house, go on a trip around the world, or have to leave your apartment? What happens if your final destination isn't known yet? 

In luck: dry units 

Squeezing everything into your best friend's garage is just as bad an idea as filling an old container and leaving it covered in your parents' backyard. Furniture isn't protected from moisture, and bugs and cobwebs will quickly make themselves at home. 

Unsuitable storage spaces ruin your lovely things while they gather dust. 

Tip 1: If you need to store furniture, make sure the premises are suitable. 

A good solution? Self storage.  

Our tips: renting a storage unit in Vienna made easy 

Of course we would say that – after all, we're promoting this solution. But beyond the obvious reasons, we can give you a few more things to think about. 

Self storage units are cleaned and inspected between tenancies. This is how we ensure your belongings stay protected while storing your furniture with us in Vienna. 

Pest-free zone. We keep pests away by carrying out regular pest control measures and inspections. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about pests that hitch a ride on items from your home. Spray a good pest control spray before storing your furniture with us in Vienna. It works! 

Security. Many self storage facilities feature security systems including gate access codes and 24-hour CCTV. Camera surveillance, alarms for individual storage units, locked doors and staff on call provide additional peace of mind.  

Different needs, different solutions. As a rule, self storage offers the perfect size for your requirements – from a small flat to a family home and everything in between. You never have to pay for space you don't need. 

Flexible. Whether your new place is ready in a month or a year, in a storage unit you can keep your personal belongings and furniture for as long as you like.
