The easy to use self storage solution designed by placeB

With self storage, individual storage units are rented for personal or business purposes. A key advantage of placeB's storage units is that customers have unrestricted access to their storage units around the clock, 24/7, via an app.

 

The variety of available space sizes makes it easy to find a suitable solution for individual needs - whether for temporary storage during a move or as a long-term solution for additional storage space. Transparent pricing and the ability to flexibly adjust the rental period make self storage a cost-effective and convenient solution for anyone who needs more space.
