If you are planning a small home renovation or need to store the contents of a room, this option is the most suitable. With enough space for small furniture and boxes, it offers excellent value for money.

Medium Box (5-8m²)

Perfect for families moving house or businesses that need space to store equipment or products. This box easily accommodates the contents of a T1 or T2 apartment.

Practical Examples and Real Use Cases

Imagine a small e-commerce business needing to store seasonal stock. By opting for a Large Box at Allstorage Benfica, the company can manage its inventory effectively, taking advantage of 24/7 access for frequent restocking. On the other hand, an international student arriving in Lisbon for a semester can choose a Box XS at Allstorage Entrecampos, benefiting from proximity to the university and the security offered.

How to save on self storage?

1. Choose the right size

Avoid paying for space you don't need. Check our box size guide to make the right choice.

2. Take advantage of height

Maximize space by stacking boxes up to 2.5-3 meters high.

3. Prepayment

Paying in advance does not save you money, but it can be convenient: you can pay several months in advance (quarterly, half-yearly or yearly) by contacting our team. Advance payments are made by card and carry no discount, and you still need to provide the IBAN of a SEPA (European) bank account. There are no discounts for paying in advance or for longer contracts.

4. Choose the ideal location

Units like Allstorage Almada or Allstorage Algés may have more competitive prices compared to units in central Lisbon.

Cheap self storage in Lisbon: how to pay less

There are no discounts or promotions, so paying less comes down to not paying for extra space or extra time:

• Rent only the m² you need: list what you are going to store and check the area in the size guide. Moving down from a 6–12 m² box (from €159/month) to a 3–6 m² box (from €91/month) is usually the most effective saving.
• Pack to fit a smaller box: dismantle furniture and use boxes of the same size. See how to organise a storage box.
• Compare units: if you will not visit the box often, a unit outside the centre, such as Algés or the Almada units, may have a different starting price. Compare in the table above or see the live prices by unit and size.
• Stay only as long as you need: the contract is monthly, with a minimum of 1 month. When you no longer need the box, give notice by the 20th and you leave at the end of that month.
• Move to a smaller box as you empty it: if you have been taking things out, you can switch to a smaller box, subject to availability. You move your belongings yourself.

Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods:

• Credit/debit card or bank transfer for the initial payment (deposit + pro-rata for the move-in month, plus next month's rent if you move in on or after the 12th).
• SEPA direct debit for monthly payments (European bank account required).

Monthly payment is automatic via SEPA direct debit, ensuring total convenience.

What you pay in the first month and in total

• When you book: the deposit (one month's rent, refundable) and pro-rata rent for the rest of the move-in month; if you move in on or after the 12th, you also pay next month's rent up front. There is no registration fee.
• Every month: just the monthly rent, with no VAT or extras to add.
• At the end: the deposit is refunded after the box has been checked.

Example: for a 1–3 m² box (from €68/month) in a 30-day month, moving in on the 5th means paying the deposit + 26 days of pro-rata (26/30 of the rent); moving in on the 20th means the deposit + 11 days of pro-rata + next month's rent. After that, you only pay the monthly rent by SEPA direct debit.

The total cost is the monthly rent multiplied by the number of months. For example, storing the contents of a one- or two-bedroom flat during 3 months of building work in a 6–12 m² box costs around three monthly payments from €159 each.
