At YouStock, we know how difficult it can be to determine the storage space you actually need. That’s why we’ve developed a free storage volume calculator, allowing you — as the name suggests — to calculate the storage surface that corresponds to your real needs.

Simply enter the list of items you plan to store, and the tool will calculate the appropriate storage space.

If you’re unsure, feel free to seek advice from our experts. They can help you determine the right storage size directly over the phone.

A storage unit is a service that allows you to entrust your personal belongings to a specialised company, which stores them in a secure warehouse. Unlike renting a self-storage unit, you generally do not have direct access to your belongings when using a storage unit service — unless you request to retrieve them. To make storage easier, storage companies often provide packing, transport, and protective services.

Self-storage, on the other hand, offers customers an individual storage space where they can freely access their belongings. Storage units are rented for a set period, and clients can access them during the centre’s opening hours. However, with this option, you are responsible for packing, loading, and unloading your belongings.

The main difference between a storage unit and self-storage therefore lies in how you access your items. With a storage unit, the company stores your belongings and you retrieve them on request. With self-storage, you have direct access to your box to add or remove items whenever you need.

Renting a storage unit offers several advantages:

• Security: Storage facilities provide a high level of protection for your belongings. They are often equipped with surveillance systems, alarms, and sometimes security guards, ensuring your items are protected 24/7.
• Optimal conditions: Storage warehouses and their containers are designed to shield your belongings from bad weather, temperature fluctuations, and humidity.
• Flexibility: You can store a wide range of items of different sizes and shapes, from bulky furniture to small seasonal items you don’t use regularly. You can rent a storage unit for a short or long period and extend it if needed, giving you complete flexibility for both short-term and long-term storage needs.
• Additional services: Storage companies often offer complementary services such as packing, transport, and sometimes even insurance for your belongings.
• Space-saving: Renting a storage unit allows you to free up space in your home by storing items you don’t currently need and that clutter your living space.

Renting a storage unit is therefore an excellent solution for safely storing belongings you don’t need immediately, giving you real peace of mind regarding their safety and preservation.

To choose a storage unit that truly meets your needs, start by making an inventory of everything you plan to store. This will help you calculate the required storage space and determine the size of the unit you need.

Once the volume is defined, here are a few key points to check to ensure you choose the right storage solution:

• Location:
  Choose a storage unit close to home if you plan to access your belongings frequently. If it’s for long-term storage and you don’t need regular access, consider options further away to potentially reduce costs.
• Security:
  Make sure the facility has adequate security measures such as CCTV (24/7), alarm systems, secure fencing, and ideally, on-site guards.
• Cleanliness and maintenance:
  Ensure that the facilities where your belongings will be kept are clean and well maintained. This is a good indicator of how your items will be treated.
• Climate control / humidity management:
  If you are storing items sensitive to heat or humidity (wooden furniture, delicate fabrics, etc.), check whether the storage facility offers climate-controlled units or humidity control.
• Insurance:
  Find out about the company’s insurance policy. Some storage centres include insurance for stored items, but it may be wise to take out additional cover (ad-valorem insurance) for extra protection.
• Cost and rental conditions:
  Compare prices between different storage providers and carefully review the rental conditions, including additional fees, minimum rental periods, and cancellation policies.
• Reviews and recommendations:
  Check online reviews and ask friends, family, or anyone who has used these services for recommendations. This can give you valuable insight into customer experience and the company’s reputation!

All storage facilities have a list of prohibited items for safety, health, and legal reasons. Here are the main categories:

• Flammable or explosive items:
  This includes chemicals, gases, propane tanks, fireworks, fuels, etc.
• Perishable goods:
  Fresh food, unpreserved food, plants, live animals, and refrigerated or frozen products are typically forbidden as they can attract pests.
• Illegal or dangerous items:
  Anything illegal or potentially hazardous is generally not allowed. This includes illegal drugs, firearms, ammunition, and similar items.
• Toxic or polluting products:
  Chemicals, corrosive cleaning agents, used tyres, batteries… these items may be banned due to environmental risks or potential damage.

Before storing anything in a storage unit, it is essential to read and understand the company’s rules regarding permitted and prohibited items. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact the provider to get specific information about the items you wish to store.

Security in a storage facility is essential to protect clients’ belongings. Here are some common measures put in place to ensure safety in these installations:

• Video surveillance and anti-intrusion alarms:
  Storage centres are often equipped with CCTV systems recording 24/7, monitored in real time. Alarms are also installed to detect any suspicious activity.
• Access control:
  Access to the facility is restricted — only customers and authorised staff can enter or exit.
• Security staff:
  Some storage facilities have on-site security personnel or regular patrol services to ensure constant supervision and deter any suspicious behaviour.
• Fire detection systems:
  Fire and flood prevention systems are installed to protect clients’ belongings from potential risks. Some storage facilities are even equipped with automatic fire suppression systems.
