In Switzerland there are three common ways to store furniture and boxes: furniture storage handled by a moving company, a self-managed self-storage unit, and short-term interim storage during a move. Which option is cheapest depends on volume, duration and the access you need. With Offerio you compare concrete quotes from partner companies for free, instead of contacting each storage facility one by one.
Which storage option fits you?
1. Furniture storage: storing furniture during a move
With classic furniture storage, a moving or storage company handles the storage in a dry, guarded facility. Ideal when you need a bridge during a move or don't want your own access to the unit. The company collects your furniture, stores it properly and delivers it back when needed.
2. Self-storage: a unit for your own use
You rent self-storage units in various sizes and usually access them around the clock yourself. You get a lockable room and bring your belongings there yourself. Practical for hobby gear, seasonal items or when you want regular access to what you've stored.
3. Interim storage: short-term storage during a move or renovation
If your move-out and move-in dates don't line up, or a renovation is due, interim storage bridges the gap. It usually covers a few weeks to months — here flexibility and a fair short-term rate matter more than the lowest monthly price.
4. Document & business storage
Companies store archive files, samples or seasonal stock to save office space. For documents, dry, access-secured rooms and a clear retention structure are key — many providers offer separate business terms for this.
How much does storage space in Switzerland cost?
Storage space in Switzerland costs roughly CHF 40 to 450 per month, depending on size and location: a small box (1–2 m³) from around CHF 40, a cellar-sized unit (4–6 m²) from around CHF 120, and room for a full household (10–15 m²) about CHF 300 to 450. Per cubic metre, prices range between roughly CHF 10 and 40 per month.

How to choose the right storage space
It's not the lowest monthly price that matters, but whether the unit fits your belongings and your situation. These six criteria are worth comparing:
- Size
- Calculate tightly: a unit that's too big costs unnecessarily, one that's too small forces a re-booking. As a rule of thumb, 6–10 m² is enough for a 3-room flat.
- Location
- A unit on the city outskirts is far cheaper than one in the centre. If you rarely need access, distance saves real money.
- Access
- Do you need 24/7 access (self-storage) or is access by appointment enough (furniture storage)? The convenience shows in the price.
- Dryness & climate
- For wooden furniture, electronics and instruments, dry, temperature-controlled rooms are a must. A damp cellar saves in the short term and harms in the long run.
- Insurance
- Clarify whether the stored goods are covered through the provider or your household insurance — and up to what amount.
- Rental period
- Short-term and long-term rates differ greatly. For a few weeks, flexibility counts; over months, the discount on the term does.
Combine moving and storage
Moving and need storage for the transition? Many vetted moving companies on Offerio offer transport and furniture storage from a single source — saving a second request and often money too. For heavy or bulky items, a furniture lift helps as well.
Conclusion: compare first, then store
Whether a small box for a few cartons or a large unit for a whole household — prices for the same storage space differ noticeably by provider and location. Comparing several quotes instead of making a single call finds the right size at a fair price faster. For moves, combining transport and storage pays off especially.

Frequently asked questions about storage
Storing furniture in Switzerland costs roughly CHF 40 to 450 per month depending on volume. For the furniture of a 2–3-room flat, expect around CHF 200 to 280 monthly. Per cubic metre, prices are about CHF 10 to 40 a month, depending on location and rental period.
With self-storage you rent a lockable room and bring your belongings yourself, usually with 24/7 access. With furniture storage a company handles collection, proper storage and return delivery — ideal during a move when you'd rather not deal with it yourself.
For the household of a 3-room flat, 6 to 10 m² (around 20–35 m³) is usually enough. If you store only part of it, less will do. When in doubt, calculate slightly larger rather than having to re-book later.
Not automatically. Some providers insure stored goods up to a certain amount, and your own household insurance may also apply. Clarify coverage and the maximum amount in writing before signing — ask for confirmation if in doubt.
As long as you like — from a few weeks to several years. Short periods have flexible short-term rates; long storage usually comes with discounts on the term. Notice periods vary by provider.
