Why Location Makes All the Difference

When choosing a self storage service, location isn't just about convenience - it can make the difference between using the service with satisfaction or ending up regretting your choice. Let's explore the factors you should consider.

How Often Will You Access Your Box

This is probably the most important factor. If you're going to access your box every week - for example, to pick up stock for your online business or sports equipment - you need a unit close to home or work. Time lost in commuting adds up quickly.

On the other hand, if you're storing furniture during a renovation and will only need access once or twice over several months, you can opt for a more distant location with more competitive prices.

Your Type of Transportation

If you have a car, location is less critical - all our units have free parking and loading/unloading areas. But if you depend on public transport, proximity to metro or train becomes essential.

Some of our units, like Saldanha and Entrecampos, are just minutes walk from metro stations. Others, like Alcântara and Almada, are more suitable for those travelling by car.

What You're Going to Store

Small and light objects can be transported easily, even using public transport. But if you're storing heavy furniture or large appliances, you need a unit with easy access for larger vehicles.

Our Alcântara and Almada units are particularly popular for those storing bulky items, thanks to the ample space for manoeuvring vans and even small trucks.

Lisbon Zones: A Tour of Our Units

Let's go through each zone of the city and show you what each Allstorage unit has to offer. This way you can make an informed choice based on your specific needs.

Central Lisbon: For Those Living or Working in the Heart of the City

The centre of Lisbon is a zone of contrasts - historic neighbourhoods with narrow streets alongside modern avenues and business areas. Space is limited and expensive, which makes self storage particularly valuable for those living or working here.

Allstorage Saldanha: The Central Hub

If we could choose just one word to describe our Saldanha unit, it would be "accessibility". Located in one of Lisbon's best-connected areas, this unit efficiently serves residents and workers from a vast area.

Who chooses this unit:

Professionals working along the Avenidas Novas axis find here a practical solution for storing work materials, product samples, or archive that doesn't fit in the office. Many stop at the unit before or after work, taking advantage of the central location.

Residents of neighbourhoods like Arroios, Penha de França, Areeiro, and Campo Pequeno value the proximity. In a city where parking is a constant challenge, having a self storage unit just minutes from home makes all the difference.

University students are also frequent customers. The proximity to several faculties and student residences makes this unit ideal for storing belongings between semesters or during exchange programmes.

Features that make the difference:

Saldanha metro station is just minutes' walk away, which means you don't necessarily need a car to access your box. Access is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing you to pick up or drop off items whenever it's most convenient.

We have boxes from 1m² to 15m², suitable both for those who need to store just a few boxes and for those who need space for an entire apartment's furniture.

Allstorage Estefânia: Tradition and Accessibility

The Estefânia area has its own character - it's where traditional Lisbon meets modernity. Our unit here serves communities ranging from historic neighbourhoods to more cosmopolitan areas.

Who chooses this unit:

Residents of Intendente, Anjos, Graça, and Mouraria find here an accessible option without needing to leave their neighbourhood. Many of these neighbourhoods have old apartments with little storage space, making self storage a natural extension of the home.

Small businesses from Baixa and Chiado also use this unit. With high commercial rents in the historic centre, it makes sense to keep only the essentials in the shop and store additional stock or archive in a nearby but more economical box.

A note about the neighbourhood:

Estefânia is going through an interesting renovation. New cafes, co-working spaces, and cultural projects are transforming the area, attracting a new generation of residents and entrepreneurs. Our unit accompanies this transformation, serving both longtime neighbours and newcomers.

Allstorage Entrecampos: Where the City Meets the Suburbs

Entrecampos occupies a privileged position on Lisbon's map. It's the point where the city centre begins to give way to the residential areas of the north, offering the best of both worlds.

Who chooses this unit:

Families from Alvalade, Campo Grande, Telheiras, and Lumiar find here a convenient solution. These are predominantly residential areas, with many medium-sized apartments where extra storage space is always welcome.

Students from the University City are frequent customers. Between residence changes, summer holidays, or internships outside Lisbon, having a safe place to store belongings avoids many headaches.

Companies from Parque das Nações also use this unit thanks to quick access via the 2ª Circular. It's more practical than crossing the city to more central areas.

The access advantage:

This unit benefits from one of Lisbon's best transport networks. Entrecampos metro, the train station, and multiple bus lines make it accessible from virtually any point in the city.

For those coming by car, the 2ª Circular is just minutes away, facilitating access from both the centre and the northern suburbs.

Western Lisbon: Belém, Alcântara and the Cascais Line

The western zone of Lisbon has its own identity. Former industrial areas converted into creative spaces, quiet residential neighbourhoods, and proximity to the river and Cascais line beaches create a unique atmosphere.

Allstorage Alcântara: Space and Access for Those Who Need It

If you're looking for larger boxes and easy vehicle access, Alcântara is probably the right choice. This unit was designed for those with more demanding storage needs.

Who chooses this unit:

Residents of Alcântara, Ajuda, Belém, and Restelo value the proximity. These are areas with many houses and larger apartments, where moves and renovations are more frequent and involve more furniture.

E-commerce businesses find ideal conditions here. The location between Lisbon and the Cascais line, with direct access to the A5 and North-South axis, facilitates delivery logistics. Many of our business customers prepare orders in the box and head straight out for distribution.

Those who work in Parque das Nações but live in the western zone also appreciate this unit. Access via the bridge or the North-South axis is quick, avoiding city centre traffic.

Designed for larger vehicles:

One of the distinctive features of this unit is the manoeuvring space. If you're renting a van for a move or receiving supplier deliveries, you won't have parking or access problems.

Boxes go up to 20m², sufficient to store the contents of an entire house or significant commercial stock.

Allstorage Algés: On the Border Between Lisbon and Oeiras

Algés is technically still Lisbon, but it has the tranquillity of Oeiras residential areas. This unit serves an established community that values quality of life and proximity to the river and beaches.

Who chooses this unit:

Families from Algés, Dafundo, Cruz Quebrada, Linda-a-Velha, and Carnaxide find here a nearby and convenient option. These are areas with a strong residential component, where extra storage needs are common.

Water sports practitioners are frequent customers. Surfboards, bodyboards, sailing equipment, or kayaks - all this takes up space at home and benefits from a dedicated storage location.

Those who work in Oeiras but live further inland also use this unit. It's on the way between home and work, making stops to drop off or pick up items easier.

A note about the environment:

This is a quiet area, with less movement than central Lisbon. Parking is easy and box access is uncomplicated. If you value a calmer environment for your visits to the unit, you'll appreciate this location.

Allstorage Benfica: In the Heart of One of the Largest Parishes

Benfica is one of Lisbon's most populous areas and has a strong identity. Our unit here serves a diverse community, from families who've been here for generations to young people who chose this neighbourhood for its authenticity.

Who chooses this unit:

Residents of Benfica, São Domingos de Benfica, Carnide, and even Pontinha find here a nearby solution. These are areas with a mix of apartments and houses, where extra space needs are varied.

Students from the University City who live in this area frequently use the unit. Benfica offers more affordable rents than more central areas, attracting many displaced students.

Small local businesses are also regular customers. Shops, workshops, and service providers find here an economical solution for storing stock or equipment.

The price advantage:

Compared to more central units, Benfica offers more competitive prices. If the exact location isn't critical for you and you prefer to save on the monthly cost, this can be an excellent choice.

The South Bank: Almada and the Economical Alternative

Crossing the bridge to Almada may seem like a big step, but for many of our customers it's exactly what makes sense. Lower prices and good accessibility make our Almada units a smart option.

Allstorage Almada: Competitive Prices Without Sacrificing Quality

Our main Almada unit is located next to the 25 de Abril Bridge, making it accessible both for those living on the south bank and those coming from Lisbon.

Who chooses this unit:

Residents of Almada, Cacilhas, Cova da Piedade, Pragal, and Laranjeiro have here their local option. These are communities with a strong connection to Lisbon but who value the lower cost of living on the south bank.

Those who work in Lisbon but live in Almada find in this unit a solution on their daily commute. Instead of crossing the bridge and paying more for a unit in Lisbon, they can stop in Almada before returning home.

Students from Nova University, especially from the Caparica campus, are frequent customers. Lower rents in Almada attract many students, and our unit accompanies this trend.

The price question:

Let's be direct: prices in Almada are generally lower than in Lisbon. If you don't need a specific location in the capital and the cost difference is important to you, Almada is a smart choice.

The quality of service is exactly the same - 24-hour security, unlimited access, insurance included. The only difference is the address and the price.

Allstorage Almada 2: The Most Economical Option in the Network

Located further south, near Costa da Caparica, this is our unit with the most competitive prices. If you're willing to travel a bit more in exchange for significant savings, it's worth considering.

Who chooses this unit:

Residents of Costa da Caparica, Trafaria, and Monte da Caparica have here their local option. These are areas with a strong seasonal character - many holiday homes and beach-related businesses.

Surfers and beach sports practitioners are natural customers. Storing boards, wetsuits, and equipment in a box near the beach avoids transporting everything home every day.

Those looking for the best possible price, regardless of location, also find their solution here. If you're storing items for a long period and don't need frequent access, the savings accumulate month after month.

A note about the location:

This unit is the furthest from central Lisbon in our network. If you need frequent access and live or work in Lisbon, it may not be the most practical choice. But if price is your main concern and you can plan visits, it represents excellent value for money.

How to Choose: A Practical Decision Guide

After getting to know all the options, how do you decide which is right for you? Let's simplify with some practical questions.

Question 1: How often will you access the box?

Several times a week: Choose the unit closest to home or work, even if the price is slightly higher. The time you save on travel makes up for the difference. Once or twice a month: You can consider slightly more distant options. The 10-15 minute travel difference isn't significant when visits are sporadic. Rarely (quarterly or less): Prioritise price. Almada or Almada 2 will probably be the most economical choices, and the distance won't be a problem.

Question 2: How will you travel?

By car: Any unit serves well. All have parking and loading/unloading areas. By public transport: Saldanha and Entrecampos are the best options, with metro just minutes away. Sete Rios is also excellent if you use the train. By motorcycle or bicycle: Consider units on your usual route. Benfica and Algés have good access for two-wheeled vehicles.

Question 3: What will you store?

Boxes and small objects: Any unit works. You can even use public transport for visits. Furniture from a room or office: You need a 3-5m² box and reasonable access for a van. Complete house contents: Alcântara or Almada are good choices - they have large boxes and space for larger vehicles. Commercial stock with frequent deliveries: Alcântara offers the best combination of location and access for logistics.
