What expats typically store.
Five categories we see again and again with international professionals and families. If one sounds familiar, just reach out.
Furniture from your home country
Sofa, dining table, wardrobe, or bed that simply does not fit a typical Swiss apartment. Instead of selling or giving it away, store it until you find a larger place or move back.
Seasonal sports equipment
Skis, snowboard, hiking gear, bike, wakeboard. Switzerland has four seasons and the gear takes space. In summer, skis park with us. In winter, the bike does.
Work documents and certificates
Original diplomas, work references, tax records from home and Switzerland. Climate-monitored and secure, with app access only for you.
Art and valuables
Paintings, collections, or family pieces that should not move with every apartment change. Climate-monitored facility, video at the entrance, personal code.
Moving boxes during the settling-in phase
Container from your home country has arrived, new apartment only ready in 6 weeks. Park boxes flexibly by the month instead of stacking them in a hotel room.
Expat package: 8 m² L-unit from CHF 326.
The typical size for a 3.5- to 4.5-room apartment with one or two containers from abroad.
- 8 m² L-unit, fits roughly 1 living room plus bedroom furniture
- No deposit, monthly cancellation
- Online booking from abroad, before you arrive
- 24/7 app access, no branch visit needed
- Climate-monitored facility, video at the entrance
