SELF STORAGE

Simply put, self storage is putting your belongings in a private lockable room provided by a third party with free access to them any time of day, year round.

Our storage units in Dubai come in a range of sizes, starting with lockers at 16 sqft, up to 1000 sqft and we will work with you to determine the size you require for your goods. Your room size can be changed at any time during your contract. Watch video.

The prices are dependent on the size of your storage room and the duration of your booking. Advance payment also has the advantage of a lower rate. Speak to our customer service agents to work out the best deal for you.

At the time of booking, one month’s deposit is required along with the first month’s rent. From then, payments are required one month in advance. You are also able to pre-pay your entire contract in advance. Credit card facilities are available at our customer service centre, bank transfers and cheques are accepted or create an account with us to pay your bill online with credit or debit card.

Our standard minimum rental period is one month. Our contracts are flexible and can be shortened or extended at any time.

Packing and storing your goods in boxes makes it easier to locate the items when you need them. By stacking the boxes, you are able to fit more into your room and with the humidity in Dubai, we recommend export packing when storing your goods for long periods of time. Packing materials can be purchased from our customer service centre or online.

Food or perishable items and animals or live creatures may not be stored. Hazardous goods as described within the The Box’s insurance coverage are expressly forbidden (a copy of the relevant clause will be provided upon customer request).

You’ll have 24-hour access, all year round to The Box storage facility with your access card which is issued once you check-in.

Our facilities have 24-hour security and CCTV surveillance and customers have personal access cards.

With self-storage Dubai you only pay for the space you need, therefore you don’t have to commit to long-term lease agreements for warehouse space you don’t need.
