A mid-size rental van for one day works out to about €98 all-in in practice — plus a €500 to €1,200 deposit temporarily blocked on your account.

• Base rental averages €55/day; Fridays and Saturdays are €10 to €20 higher due to weekend surcharge.
• Fuel: 100 km diesel ≈ €18. There are 100 free kilometres per day; above that €0.20 to €0.40 per extra kilometre.
• Damage excess: €750 to €1,500. Buying it down costs €10–25/day — but overhead damage (low tunnels, tree branches) often stays excluded.
• Deposit via debit or credit card: €500 to €1,200 temporarily blocked — an issue if your buffer is limited.

A mid-size rental van doesn't fit your whole household in one go. For a full apartment, expect 3 to 4 round trips.

• A mid-size van has around 6–8m³ of loading space. An average apartment (18m³) doesn't fit in one trip — even a studio (14m³) is tight.
• Every trip is new time, new fuel, new parking hunt — with 3 trips you're quickly looking at a full day.
• Weekend? Vans are scarce and more expensive. During the week you'd probably need a day off.

Tip: work out your total cost before booking. In moving on a budget you'll find the moving costs people usually underestimate.

With self storage, people almost always forget the second lifting session: from the rental van into the storage box.

• The box is often on the first, second or third floor. Some sites have a lift, some don't.
• Furniture, boxes, electronics — all lifted again after an hour of driving, and then neatly stacked so it all fits.
• For one move every item passes through your hands at least three times: home → van, van → box, then reverse. For large items that's serious physical work.

Tip: large and heavy items are the biggest strain here. In moving heavy furniture you'll read which preparations make the difference between back pain and a smooth move.

Rent storage in Haarlem and move later to Rotterdam? You're stuck with a warehouse 50+ kilometres away.

• Every in-between trip becomes half a day of travel — and most people visit their storage several times a year.
• Switching to a closer location means: reloading everything into a new box yourself — another move within your move.
• Fixed notice period plus rental van for the switch quickly adds €200–€400 in extra cost — not counting the day off you have to take.

Tip: moving with storage as a bridge needs planning. In moving between two homes you'll read how to organise that in-between period most efficiently.

We place the unit at your door, pick it up when it's full, and drive it to our hub in Gouda. You never have to rent a van.

• Full coverage of the Netherlands and Belgium — no extra trip surcharge whether you live in a big city or a small town.
• Transport within your region is included on rental periods of 3 months or longer.
• No van to rent, no deposit to block, no risk of overhead damage or tunnel adventures.

Tip: for the full comparison with traditional self storage, read self storage vs. mobile storage.

Lifting help is a choice. From doing it yourself to the van (cheapest) to fully taken care of by two staff.

• Bringing it yourself is possible — and gives you 10% off the monthly rate.
• Our driver helps up to 30 minutes with lifting from inside to the van.
• Fully handled: two staff do the lifting for you, arrange the unit and load it.
• Choose per pickup — you're not locked into one service level for the whole contract.

Moving from Haarlem to Rotterdam? We come to the new address. Nothing to reload.

• Return delivery to your new address is arranged by us — you don't have to do anything.
• No 'stuck' problem: your storage agreement is a service contract, not a physical location you have to visit.
• Netherlands to Belgium (or vice versa) we handle too — one trip, one invoice.

On average a customer visits their storage 3 times a year. With us, we come to you three times, not the other way around.

• With self storage: 3 times there and back = 6 trips per year — car/time/parking money.
• With mobile: no trips for you — schedule an in-between delivery when you need something.
• Visiting Gouda is also possible — by appointment, easily reachable by public transport from Gouda station.

Tip: why people choose storage outside the home in the first place — and why it's often less hassle than you'd think — you'll read in why people choose storage outside the home.

No. We place the unit at your door and drive it away. No van to rent, no C-licence needed, no deposit to block.

• All logistics are included in the service.
• For rental periods of 3 months or longer, transport within your region is included.
• For shorter periods transport is charged separately — you know the amount in advance, no surprises.

In practice €98 all-in for one day — plus €500 to €1,200 deposit temporarily blocked.

• Base rental €55, fuel €18 (100 km diesel), damage waiver €15, accessories like a hand truck and straps €10.
• Mileage: 100 km free per day, then €0.20 to €0.40 per km.
• Weekend surcharge €10–20 per day extra. Overhead damage often stays outside the bought-down cover.
• And one day is usually not enough: expect 3–4 trips for a full household — often meaning a second rental day.

We come to the new address. No worries about being stuck with a location the way you would be with self storage.

• Return delivery to your new address is arranged by us — your preferred day, your postcode.
• Both within the Netherlands and between the Netherlands and Belgium.
• No physical storage site you have to visit — just a service contract that moves with you.

Tip: moving with storage as an in-between step needs planning. In moving between two homes you'll read how to organise that bridging period most efficiently.

Yes — a driving licence is not needed at all with us.

• Booking is online, by phone or by email — no licence verification required.
• On the day we come to you, so you don't have to arrange transport.
• Convenient for: students, young adults, newly arrived expats, and older people who no longer drive.

Yes. Even with a car, mobile storage is often still more attractive — because a regular passenger car isn't suitable for moving.

• Passenger cars are too small for furniture or large boxes — you'd still rent a van.
• You save 3 to 4 round trips per move and the double-lifting at the storage site.
• For in-between access: on average 3 fewer trips per year from your end.

Tip: torn between moving yourself or hiring a moving company (with or without storage)? Moving yourself or a moving company lays out the choice.
