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, storing your luggage if your room isn't ready yet (you leave your suitcases at an agreed spot in the city); 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 size and number of boxes: a single rate for the whole period. For a yearlong Erasmus it's far cheaper than keeping an empty apartment rented 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 account. No penalties and no maximum limit.

What if my Erasmus is split between two cities?

+
We store your boxes in Milan for the whole duration and deliver them back within the municipality of Milan when you return. For moves between different cities, message us in chat and we'll look into what can be arranged.

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?

+
Delivery happens within the municipality of Milan. If you don't return to the city, message us at info@smoves.it and we'll work out the best solution together.
