What is the difference between private room storage and container storage?
We offer different types of storage solutions. Both private room storage and container storage give you a private, locked space of your own. With private room storage, access is unlimited; you can come by whenever you like during business hours to add or remove items, and the facilities are usually in the city center. With container storage, access is limited; you're entitled to 3 free openings per year during business hours. Shared/communal storage is not offered.
Are there any items that aren't suitable for container storage?
Oversized or heavy furniture and delicate items such as pianos may not be suitable for container storage. In such cases, private room storage is a better option.
What conditions and security measures do your storage facilities have?
All facilities have measures such as climate control, 24/7 CCTV and alarm systems, insurance and regular pest control; there is no dampness in the facilities. Your belongings are kept safe and sound.
How do you keep my belongings safe?
Our storage facilities are protected by 24/7 CCTV, security staff, and individually locked units. We also offer insurance options against risks such as fire, earthquake, and theft. Climate-controlled areas also prevent damage caused by damp and humidity.
Pricing and Contracts
How is the storage fee calculated?
The storage fee depends on the location of the facility you choose and the size of the space (m³/m²). Troy Depo offers units in a range of sizes and price points and helps you choose the solution that best fits your needs.
Is there a limit on how long I can store my belongings?
No. You can store your belongings short-term or long-term, depending on your needs. There is no minimum or maximum duration — our solutions are flexible.
Can I take my belongings out of storage and cancel whenever I want?
Yes, you can end your storage service at any time, with no penalties or extra fees.
What happens when the rental period for my storage unit ends?
When your rental period ends, you can either renew your contract or collect your belongings and move out. If the contract is not renewed, the applicable procedures and additional charges may apply.
What are the contract term and cancellation conditions?
Contracts are signed for a 1-year term. Under the Troy Depo Standards, customers have the right to leave at any time without paying for the remaining months.
How do annual price increases and payments work?
Contracts are made on an annual basis. Price increases are applied according to the rent increase rate for the relevant period. Payments are monthly (there is no weekly or daily payment), and you can move out at any time. If you move out mid-month, the full fee for that month is charged, and no payment is due for the following months.
Do I need to sign a contract when renting a storage unit?
Yes. A contract is signed when you rent the unit, and it sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
Is VAT included? Are there any hidden fees?
The quote clearly states whether prices include or exclude VAT. There are no hidden fees. Any additional services you request are also clearly listed in the quote.
How are moving costs determined?
The most important factor in moving costs is the volume of your belongings. Based on the volume and how easy or difficult the home is to work in operationally, variables such as labor, number of vehicles and packing materials are calculated, and the price is set accordingly. The price may vary depending on the walking distance and additional services (packing, etc.). Having delicate and special items such as a safe, piano or marble table also affects the price.
In addition, the floor the home is on, the use of the building's elevator and, when necessary, the installation of an external furniture lift are also key factors in pricing. The final price is determined after a detailed needs assessment and presented to you in writing as a personalized quote.
Is there a charge for packing services?
Packing services are provided on request and added to the moving fee. The optional packing service covers the packing of small items, such as the contents of kitchen cabinets, loose items around the home, and clothing. Whether boxing is included or excluded is stated in the moving quote.
Packing
How should I pack my belongings?
It's important to pack your belongings securely before storage. Use bubble wrap for fragile items and blankets or bubble wrap for furniture, and write the contents on the outside of each box. For some ornate or carved furniture, corner protectors or cardboard are used to help with packing.
How can I protect my furniture in a storage unit?
It's important to pack your belongings securely before putting them into storage. Use bubble wrap for fragile items and moving blankets or bubble wrap for furniture, and label each box with its contents.
Do you handle the packing, and does it cost extra?
Packing services are optional. You can pack your belongings yourself or get help from professional teams. Professional packing is charged in addition to the moving fee.
What is a wardrobe box used for?
Wardrobe boxes are used to move clothing and textiles without wrinkling them. Your dresses, jackets, and suits stay protected on hangers during the move and are placed in storage that way. You can order them from our store.
Do you offer special packing for fragile items?
Yes, we offer a special packing service for fragile and delicate items. We provide professional support for packing and moving delicate belongings. You can also include boxing/small-item packing in your request.
Are packing and moving completed on the same day?
Yes, in most cases packing and moving are completed on the same day, although timing may vary depending on the volume of items and the scope of service. Some operations may take two or more days.

Based on the information and photos you share about your belongings, our expert team calculates the volume (m³) and recommends the storage unit size that best fits your needs.

There is no electricity inside the storage units.
How do I reserve a storage space?
You can make a reservation quickly and easily through our website or our customer service team.

Who chooses the storage unit?
Our expert team recommends the most suitable unit size and location based on your needs. The final choice is yours.
How often can I access my storage unit?
You can access your storage unit on weekdays and Saturdays during business hours. Our facilities are closed on Sundays, so access is not available then.
Can I authorize someone else to access my storage unit?

Can I switch storage units later?
Yes. If your needs change, you can switch your storage unit to one of a different size or at a different location.

Yes. In container storage, your unit can be opened and closed a limited number of times. In private room storage, you're free to take out and put back your belongings whenever you like.
Do I need to book an appointment before visiting my storage unit?
Yes, appointments are required to avoid crowding. As long as you have an appointment, you can access your unit during business hours.

Standard storage units may experience seasonal temperature changes. For items you want to protect from this, you can choose a climate-controlled storage option.
Is storage insured?
The amount of insurance varies depending on the volume of your belongings and the size of your room. The insurance amount specified in your contract is included free of charge. If you wish, you can increase your insurance limit for an additional fee. For more details, please contact our customer service team.
Is smoking allowed in storage units?
No. Smoking in storage units is strictly prohibited due to the fire risk and for hygiene reasons.
What is climate-controlled storage?
Climate-controlled storage units are special spaces where temperature and humidity are kept constant. They are ideal for electronics, textiles, wooden furniture, and delicate items.
What's the difference between container storage and room storage?
Storage containers come in two types: steel and wooden. They are standard private spaces with fixed dimensions. If your belongings don't fit into that volume, a second container is opened. For some furniture with unusual dimensions or special items such as pianos, the container dimensions may not be sufficient; this can be decided after assessing your belongings. Container storage is especially ideal for long-term storage and for customers who won't be adding or removing items. Depending on your needs, both options offer secure storage.
