Three ways to store

Your own container, you choose who loads it

Inside Leiden's canal ring there is rarely room for a container on the street, and loading and unloading is only allowed Monday to Saturday between 4.30 and 11.00. There our movers load within those hours, and our vehicles are allowed into the zero-emission zone. Outside the centre you choose who fills the container.

Load at your own front door
Most popular

Load at your own front door

Outside the canal ring there is more often room, for example in Stevenshof. If you have a driveway or space on your own property, we place the container there. You load it at your own pace, we seal it in your presence and take it to our warehouse. Later we bring it back wherever you want it.

  • Load whenever it suits you, without lugging through corridors
  • No need to drive back and forth yourself
  • The container comes back wherever you want
Our movers load everything for you
As much as you want

Our movers load everything for you

In the city centre and at an upstairs flat with steep stairs, our movers do the loading. Anything that will not fit down the stairs goes through the window with the moving lift. Everything goes from the truck into your own container, which enters the warehouse sealed. You decide how much help you buy: from one driver to a complete team that packs, dismantles and carries everything.

  • You pay per hour, so only the hours we work
  • Experienced, tidy people with VCA certification and a certificate of conduct
  • During transport the moving cover of up to € 125,000 with no excess applies
Bring it yourself to our automated self storage
No transport costs

Bring it yourself to our automated self storage

If you would rather drive yourself, the computer-operated crane has your container ready at the covered loading dock on Taanderstraat in Katwijk. You park beside it and load straight in. Because no journey is involved, you only pay the monthly rent.

  • No transport costs, just the monthly rent
  • Load and unload beside your car, without corridors or lifts
  • Book a moment in the app, at weekends too

How it works

From request to sealed container in four steps

In Leiden it starts with your address. Inside the canal ring we plan the loading within the delivery hours; outside it you choose the day yourself. Choose your form of storage and the steps adapt.

1

You request your price

Tell us what you are storing and where the container should stand. Within one working day you have a fixed price.

2

We place the container

On your driveway or in front of the door, on the day you choose. We arrange the sideloader.

3

Loading and sealing

You load at your own pace. We seal in your presence with a unique seal number.

4

Stored until you call

The container sits climate-controlled and camera-monitored in our warehouse. One phone call and we bring it back.

1

Request and choose your level

Just a driver, a driver plus a mover or a complete team with packing service.

2

We come and load

Truck and driver at the door. You pay per hour, so only what you really use.

3

Straight into the warehouse, sealed

Everything goes into your container, is sealed and goes into the climate-controlled warehouse without transloading.

4

Back on your day

We deliver to your new address and reassemble the furniture if you wish.

When is this right for you?

Is container storage right for your situation in Leiden?

Container storage works best if you load in one go and do not need daily access to everything afterwards. In Leiden we often see it around the summer, when rooms and rental homes change tenants, and when the new key arrives later than the old one has to be handed in. You always rent for at least one month.

✓

A good fit for you

  • Your room or rental home changes tenants at the end of August or early September and your new place is not free yet
  • There are a few weeks between the key to your old and your new Leiden address
  • You are renovating a house in the Burgemeesterswijk or Professorenwijk and the contents of several floors have to move out for a while
  • Your belongings need to stay climate-controlled, sealed and untouched
  • Your office inside the canal ring or at the Bio Science Park temporarily needs room for archives or furniture
–

Discuss this with us first

  • You need something out of it every week: then look at our automated self storage, where you book a moment yourself
  • You live inside the canal ring and want to load the container at your own door: there is rarely room on the street, so our movers load
  • You want to pay for less than a month: rent always runs per month, even if you finish earlier

How we guard your belongings in our Katwijk warehouse

You get your own container, which is sealed in your presence and then sits in one of our own warehouses. The system knows exactly where each container is.

Sealed in your presence

Every container gets a seal with a unique number. Broken seal = visible. No one gets in in the meantime, not even us.

Closed warehouse with camera surveillance

The warehouse is closed off and monitored day and night, with strict access control.

Dry and frost-free

No moisture, no frost damage, no vermin. Also suitable for sensitive items such as wood, electronics and archives.

Insurance: your choice

During storage you can optionally take out storage insurance with us, or insure the contents through your own home contents insurance. If you let our movers drive, the moving coverage up to € 125,000 without a deductible applies during that transport, according to our general terms and conditions.

Private

Between two Leiden addresses

If you get the key to your new home later than you have to leave your old one, your belongings go into the container at your home. We seal it in your presence and bring everything back on the day you name, without anything being transloaded on the way.

  • Also for a single room or a student house that has to be empty in summer
  • With steep stairs it goes through the window with the moving lift
  • Help with loading and unloading from just one driver

Frequently asked questions about storage in Leiden

Is your question not listed? Call 088 321 99 00 and our customer service will help you.

Ask your question in the request
Can the container be placed at my door in Leiden's city centre?+

Usually not. Inside the canal ring the streets are narrow and loading and unloading is only allowed from Monday to Saturday between 4.30 and 11.00. That is why our movers load there: your belongings go from the truck into your own container, which goes to our warehouse in Katwijk sealed. Our vehicles are allowed into the zero-emission zone.

Where can the container stand outside the city centre?+

On your driveway or on your own property is usually no problem. On public land in Leiden you do not have to apply for anything if the container is smaller than 15 m², stays for less than a month, does not stand on a paid parking space and causes no nuisance. In other cases you need a permit or exemption from the municipality. On request we apply for it for you, as an extra service. Tell us in your request where you want it and we will check whether it fits there. In the Merenwijk a truck often has to park around the corner instead of at the door; there our movers load and the container goes from the truck to the warehouse sealed.

I am moving around September in Leiden. When should I arrange storage?+

As early as you can. At the end of August and in early September many Leiden rooms and rental homes change tenants, and the last days of the month then fill up quickly. Our planning runs about eight weeks ahead. If your date is closer, ask anyway: there is often still room at short notice.

Which container size suits a Leiden home?+

For a student room or an upstairs flat in the city centre, 16 m³ is usually more than enough. The contents of a family home in the Merenwijk or Stevenshof fit in 33 m³. If you have a 1920s or 1930s house with tall wardrobes or a piano, choose 37 m³: the same floor area, but 30 centimetres taller.

Can I get to my belongings in between?+

Yes. Your container is kept in our warehouse on Taanderstraat in Katwijk. You book a moment in the app and the computer-operated crane has it ready for you at the covered loading dock. That is possible until 19:00 on working days and until 17:00 at weekends. You park right next to it, so there are no corridors to walk through.

What is the minimum rental period?+

One month. After that you extend per month and can cancel monthly.

Are my belongings insured during storage?+

Not automatically. The cover of up to € 125,000 with no excess applies during transport by our movers, not during storage. For the storage period you can take out separate storage insurance with us if you wish, or insure the contents through your own home contents insurance.
