FAQs
How is the exact price calculated if I want to store my household goods?
The price is based on the actual volume required in cubic meters and the planned rental period in our warehouses. As we are a genuine and reliable partner, services such as the complete move to the warehouse, pickup transportation, or furniture assembly are included in the customized quote with complete transparency.
Will the costs be covered if I have to store my furniture after water damage?
In the vast majority of cases, your existing household property insurance or building insurance will cover the full costs of the emergency move and damage mitigation. We actively support you by providing detailed invoices for transportation and storage, which you can easily submit to the relevant insurance company when you store your household goods.
What are the on-site environmental conditions like when you store my household goods?
Our modern warehouses remain dry year-round and are kept at the optimal temperature in every season. This is an extremely important factor in reliably protecting sensitive materials—such as real wood—from unwanted mold growth, even during very long-term leases.
Can I access my stored items at any time during the storage period?
Of course, we offer you the option of accessing your securely stored items after making a brief appointment in advance. Since we stack the containers in a highly efficient manner, we only need a very short lead time to safely make your belongings available to you.
Are my personal belongings insured when you store my household goods?
Yes, your valuable belongings are fully protected against risks such as fire and water damage throughout the entire move and subsequent storage period thanks to our specialized logistics insurance policies. For particularly valuable items or works of art, we would also be happy to advise you on customized insurance solutions for transport.
