Why Erasmus storage is worth it

Leaving for Erasmus while keeping an empty Milan apartment rented can easily cost €4,000–9,000 over 6-12 months. The same period with Smoves Erasmus storage costs a tiny fraction: you only pay for the boxes you leave.

You also avoid all the complicated logistics: no transport home to your parents, no piles of boxes in the attic, no scramble in the last days before departure. We handle everything.

On return, we deliver directly to your new address — perfect if you change apartment post-Erasmus.

Erasmus storage FAQs

Can I leave my belongings with Smoves if I'm going on Erasmus?

+
Yes — this is one of our most typical use cases. We store your boxes for the entire Erasmus duration (usually 6, 9 or 12 months) and deliver them back at your new address when you return.

What if I'm an Erasmus student arriving in Milan?

+
We help at two key moments: 1) on arrival, picking up your luggage from the airport or station if your room isn't ready yet; 2) during the year, storing boxes if you change residence temporarily.

How much does storage for a 12-month Erasmus cost?

+
The price depends on the number of boxes. On average, for a yearlong Erasmus, we're talking a few tens of euros per month — much less than keeping an empty apartment rent in Italy. Get the exact price in the booking form.

What do I take on Erasmus and what do I leave in storage?

+
Typically on Erasmus you take clothes, computer, key books, personal items. You leave in storage: memories and sentimental items, non-essential books, out-of-season clothes, bedding, sports equipment you won't use. Smoves can help you in chat with personalised advice.

What if I extend my Erasmus?

+
You can extend storage for additional months simply from your dashboard. No penalties and no maximum limit.

What if my Erasmus is split between two cities?

+
We can help by shipping part of your belongings to the first country and storing the rest until your second transfer or return. Message us in chat to organise the logistics.

How far in advance should I book Erasmus storage?

+
At least 2 weeks before departure. For an Erasmus starting in September, booking in late June is ideal: it guarantees you the pickup date you prefer.

Do you deliver outside Milan on return?

+
Currently delivery only happens in Milan. If you don't return to the city, we can organise shipping via courier to another Italian city — just message us in chat for a quote.
