Moving House

How self storage helps when you’re moving house

Moving home comes with a lot of moving parts. A storage unit gives you breathing space — whether you’re decluttering before viewings, dealing with a last‑minute delay, or renovating your new place. Here are the most common ways MijnSafestore can make your move smoother.

Smart ways to use storage during a move

  1. Declutter before you pack. Store seasonal gear, rarely used items and excess furniture so you move less and pay less with your removals company.
  2. Bridge gaps between homes. If dates don’t line up, keep your belongings safely in a unit for as little as two weeks or as long as you need.
  3. Work around tight access. In many Dutch streets, access can be narrow and staircases steep. Keep bulky items in storage while you arrange an external lift or delivery slot that works.
  4. Renovate and redecorate first. Move in the basics and keep the rest in storage so trades can work quickly without obstacles.

Why choose MijnSafestore for moving house

  • Flexible terms: rent from a minimum of 2 weeks and extend whenever you need.
  • Free to reserve: secure a unit at no cost while you finalise dates.
  • Great introductory offers: location‑dependent promotions such as 50% off for up to 2 months for new customers.
  • Secure centres: 24‑hour CCTV, intruder alarms and restricted access; you’re the only keyholder to your unit.
  • Easy loading: on‑site parking and trolleys make move‑in simple. Selected centres also offer free trailer use a limited number of times per year — ask in store.
  • Unit sizes for every home: from small lockers to larger rooms; scale up or down as your needs change.

How it works

  1. Choose your unit size. Our team can help you estimate the space you need.
  2. Reserve for free. Keep your dates flexible — there’s no charge to hold a unit.
  3. Move in. Bring a padlock (or buy one on site), load your unit and you’re done.
