• Are there any other costs I need to pay when renting a storage unit at Shurgard?
  Below are the only extra costs you may need to pay:

  • One-off admin fee of € 20: this amount is only applicable when you sign your first contract with us. Returning customers don't need to pay this fee.
  • Goods coverage: for your own protection, you’ll need to get goods coverage for the belongings that you store with us. You can opt for a customised goods coverage policy starting at € 16 per month.
  • Lock: to guarantee no one else can access your storage unit, you will need to buy a lock designed to fit a Shurgard storage unit at € 14,90. You can re-use this lock when you rent another storage unit at any Shurgard facility.
• What is the advantage of storage units located on the ground floor?
  With units on the ground floor, you don’t have to use a lift to transport your belongings from your vehicle to your storage unit. This is especially convenient if you need to frequently store heavy or bulky items.
• Is there a minimum rental period?
  You can rent your storage unit for an initial period of one month. After this period, your contract will automatically be renewed on a monthly basis.
• Do I need to pay when reserving a storage unit?
  No, you only start paying when you sign your rental contract.

  Yes. Take regional bus 330 towards Amsterdam and get off at the Danswijk stop. From there, it's about a 12-minute walk to our location.

• Why should I choose an upstairs storage unit?
  Upstairs storage units are often cheaper than those on the ground floor of the same size, so choose these if you don’t have a lot of bulky or heavy stuff to store, or if you don’t have to frequently move stuff in and out of your unit. At Shurgard you can still conveniently access your upstairs storage unit with the help of our spacious lifts and trolleys.
