Der Buchungsprozess war angenehm einfach. Die Box stand am gebuchten Tag pünktlich bereit und dank der genauen Maßangaben vorab konnte ich perfekt planen. Da die Wände aus Blech sind, sollte man beim Einlagern etwas aufpassen. Der Zugang per App funktioniert prinzipiell wunderbar. Einziger Minuspunkt: Die Eingangstür schließt extrem schnell wieder, sodass man sie für jeden Durchgang erneut per App öffnen muss – das ist auf Dauer etwas nervig.

I am used to using storage units in the US - Bookabox is the best storage unit I’ve ever leased. I come back and forth to Mallorca constantly and this is an amazing alternative to bringing your suitcases back and forth. Once you rent a unit, they will send you instructions to download the app. I can’t believe it is that easy. The price is very good and the customer service on line is excellent. Overall, I am very happy with Bookabox and will use them for a long term option.

Absolute Empfehlung! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tolle Location in der Kölner Südstadt und vor allem ein super unkomplizierter und persönlicher Support. Besonders positiv fand ich, dass man einen direkten Ansprechpartner hat und die Kommunikation dadurch schnell und unkompliziert läuft. Auch die Besichtigung verschiedener Boxen war jederzeit problemlos möglich, sodass ich mir in Ruhe anschauen konnte, welche Größe für mich am besten passt. Insgesamt super unkompliziert, flexibel und persönlich – genau so sollte Self Storage sein. 😊

Frequent questions.

What size do I need for a one-bedroom flat?
5 m² holds the contents of a typical one-bedroom flat: sofa, bed, wardrobe, washing machine and around fifteen boxes. For two to three rooms choose 8 m², and for a whole house 10 m² or more.
Can I store things for just a few weeks between moves?
Yes. The flexible plan has no minimum term and the first 4 weeks are free, so a short gap between two tenancies costs nothing if you move out within the month.
How much storage space does a road bike need?
A road bike standing upright occupies about 0.6 m². With a turbo trainer, two wheelsets and a kit bag you reach roughly 2.4 m², which fits a 3 m² unit. Taking the wheels off brings it down to about 2 m².
Is it safe to store a bike over winter?
Yes. Units are dry and unheated, which suits bikes well. Drop the tyres to about 2 bar so they do not deform, lightly oil the chain against corrosion, and hang the bike by its frame rather than a wheel.
Can I pick and ship orders from my unit?
Yes. Access is 24/7 via the app, trolleys and pallet trucks are on site, and your unit can receive and send parcels as a pick-up point, so you can run fulfilment without a warehouse contract.
What happens when I outgrow the unit?
Move to a larger one at the same site. The flexible plan has no minimum term, so you change size from one month to the next and only pay the difference.
How much space do ten years of records take?
German retention rules keep most commercial records for up to ten years. For a small company that is roughly 60 archive boxes, about 5 m² stacked. An 8 m² unit leaves an aisle so you can reach the older years.
Do you invoice businesses with VAT?
Yes. Prices are quoted net plus 19% VAT and invoiced to your company. You enter your VAT ID at checkout and the invoice is available in the app each month.
