5 tips on how to save money when renting storage space

Something seemingly simple like storing things can quickly become expensive and complicated — especially when you compare self-storage providers in Leipzig, for example. Many do not communicate their prices transparently, bill on a 4-week basis or offer you additional services that you don't even need. At CoStore, we do things differently: fair prices, flexible terms and storage containers that do exactly what they should — offer you inexpensive storage space. To help you really save money when renting storage space, such as in Leipzig, we have put together 5 practical tips for you if you want to rent a storage container.

💡 1. Think about how often you want to go to your storage room

Renting a cheap warehouse near you makes sense. If you don't have to work frequently as a private person and want to spend little money, a location outside the city center is often very worthwhile. Even commercial customers should rent their warehouse on the outskirts of the city. The savings can range from over 100 EUR a month to over 1,000 euros a year — and 10-15 minutes more travel time is therefore useful. 👉 Tip: A storage container park from CoStore always has a good connection to a federal road or motorway. This not only saves you money, but also gives you short travel times.

📦 2. Choose the right size of your storage space

The size of the storage space determines the price. At CoStore, you can get a secure storage container of 7 m² for as little as 99€ a month. As a warehouse for a private person, this is sufficient to store items from a small apartment. If you want to rent a material container, i.e. as storage space for a craft business, that is also suitable. By way of comparison, in classic self-storage buildings in the city center, you get fewer square meters for the same price! At CoStore, you can also drive up to the storage room. 👉 Tip: If you want to expand a storage room flexibly, you can rent a larger storage container or even several. Everything can be booked flexibly and digitally.

⏳ 3. Check the rental period and notice periods

Many providers commit you for the long term without you even realizing it at first glance. At CoStore, we offer monthly cancellable terms — without any fine print. This allows you to remain flexible, regardless of whether you are moving privately or want to rent commercial storage space at short notice. 👉 Tip: With us, you pay per month. Of course, it gets cheaper the longer you rent a storage container.

🚩 4. Beware of dubious providers

If you can't find any prices, everything is vaguely worded: Stay away! People usually notice it only after the contract has been concluded. So here are some common tricks: - Prices are not shown on the website - you will only receive a written offer after viewing - numerous additional services are “suggested” to you - the rental agreement is on a 4-week basis to get a 13th month out of one year - Registration fees for new customers - Additional costs are not mentioned, e.g. approval of the electricity connection or in the event of an earlier cancellation 👉 Tip: With CoStore, you can see what you are paying right from the start — transparent, including VAT and no hidden fees. You can find our prices and services transparent so you can book your storage container digitally.

🎯 5. Don't be dazzled by extra services if you want to rent a storage space

Storage boxes, sack trucks, pallet trucks, 24/7 concierge — everything is nice to have, but do you really need that? 👉 Tip: What counts is a safe, dry storage space at a fair price. So if you want to rent a storage container, that's exactly what CoStore offers. Our sites are fenced, video-monitored and well-lit — everything you need without unnecessary frills.
