I need self storage in Cologne. How much will I pay?

The price you pay for your storage unit depends on a number of factors:

The storage unit size you need 

Prices for larger units are higher, so it’s important to find a storage unit that matches your needs. We have storage unit sizes up to 30 square metres. The larger the storage unit, the cheaper the square metre.

The location of your storage facility

The closer you are to Cologne centre, the higher the storage prices will be. If you don’t need regular access to your unit, consider a location further away from the centre of Cologne for cheaper storage prices.

The replacement value of your stored items 

Most storage providers require you to take out an insurance policy for your belongings whilst in storage. The cost of goods coverage will depend on the replacement value of your stored goods.
