General information

What is Lager.de?

Lager.de lets out storage units for private and business customers with a minimum rental period of six months.

Is it possible to change my storage unit later?

The rental period starts from 6 months. Motorbike storage boxes are the only exception, which have a minimum rental period of one year. If you want to change your storage unit size, please don’t hesitate to call us. Our support team is available Mondays to Fridays between 8am and 9pm, and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays.

Who else has access to my storage unit?

Nobody. However, you can give authorise other people to have access.

Are the storage units lockable?

You buy a lock when signing the lease. However, we don’t have on-site packaging shop.

What can I store?

Furniture, household belongings, files, merchandise, and all kinds of equipment. But please think of your neighbours. The sheet metal dividing your unit from theirs can’t hold off everything, soaking wet goods, for example. Your stored goods should be dry. Also, we don’t recommend storing photo paper. The same goes for antique treasures, or antiques that have already been stored in a very dry environment for 25 to 30 years. All other antiques are safe to store.

Are there items that I can’t store?

This is up to what we agree on beforehand. The list includes: organic matter, fuels such as petrol or diesel, gas bottles, paint, and herbs. What is definitely NOT allowed to be stored are things with very, very high value, as a storage unit is not a locker box. Naturally, weapons, drugs, counterfeit money, or the like may not be stored either.
