Question 1

Not sure what storage unit size you need?

Question 2

Can I reserve a storage unit in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can reserve a storage unit for free at Selvbetjeningslageret AS. The reservation is 100% free and non-binding as long as it is cancelled before the rental start date. This is perfect if you are planning a move, interim storage, renovation, or business storage. Reserve online or call us at 55 25 95 90.

Question 3

How large are the storage units?

Accepted Answer

We offer storage rooms in all sizes, from small units of 3 m³ to large rooms of over 50 m³. Whether you need space for furniture, belongings, seasonal equipment or business storage, we have a solution that fits your needs. Unsure about size? Call us at 55 25 95 90.
