Self Storage City Special: Rotterdam & The Hague

Rotterdam and The Hague together form one of the Netherlands’ largest and most active self storage regions. Rotterdam is known for its modern skyline and logistics hub, while The Hague - the country’s political capital - offers a more residential market with a growing supply of self storage space.

From Kralingen, Kop van Zuid, and Hillegersberg in Rotterdam to Scheveningen, Bezuidenhout, and Loosduinen in The Hague, more and more residents and small businesses rely on storage units to compensate for limited space and rising property prices.

Why Rent Self Storage?

If you’ve ever struggled to find space for your belongings, you’re not alone. Urban living in South Holland often means, just as in the other parts of the Dutch Randstad area: compact homes, minimal storage space, and dynamic lifestyles. People use self storage to:

• Store furniture during a move, renovation, divorce, or temporary stay abroad - or when a close relative passes away.

• Keep sports gear, bikes, or seasonal items safe

• Manage inventory for webshops or local businesses

• Create more living space without leaving the city

Digital pickup-and-delivery (P&D) providers such as InboxStorage, Kubox, Boxie24, PickupBox, and Oomen Verhuizingen & Opslag have made storage more convenient - offering full collection and return service directly from your door.
