Smoves on-demand self storage

  • ✓ We pick up at your door, in Milan
  • ✓ No van, no trip
  • ✓ One flat rate for the whole period
  • ✓ You only pay for the boxes you store
  • ✓ Every box QR-tracked from the app

How on-demand self storage works

You book online in 3 minutes, choosing box sizes and quantity and your pickup and delivery dates. We come to your place in Milan to collect the boxes — you don't even need to be there. We keep them in an indoor, dry, access-controlled facility for as long as you need.

Every box is labelled with a unique QR code you follow in real time from your account: you always know where your things are, from pickup to delivery. When you return, we bring them back to your new address within the municipality of Milan.

It's self storage without the downsides: no warehouse out of town, no van, no monthly fee that keeps growing. You pay once for the whole period.

Self storage for students FAQ

What is on-demand self storage?

+
Traditional self storage means driving to a warehouse with your car, loading and unloading yourself, and paying for a unit by the month. Smoves is on-demand self storage: we pick up your boxes at your door in Milan, keep them safe for the whole period and bring them back when you return. You never leave home.

How is it different from traditional self storage?

+
Three differences: 1) we handle pickup and delivery, to your door — no van rental, no trip to the outskirts; 2) you pay one flat rate for the whole period, not a monthly fee that keeps growing; 3) every box is labelled and tracked with a QR code you follow from your account. No empty unit to manage: you only pay for the space you actually use.

How much does self storage for students in Milan cost?

+
The price depends on the box size and how many you store, with one flat amount for the entire storage period — no monthly fee. You'll find all the transparent, no-surprise rates on the Pricing page.

Can I use self storage as an international or Erasmus student?

+
Yes. Many of our customers are international and Erasmus students: the service is available in English and Italian, and we store your boxes for the entire exchange duration, even 6, 9 or 12 months.

How long does storage last? Can I choose the period?

+
You choose the pickup date and the delivery date. The rate covers the entire period, whether it's a summer or a full academic year. You can extend storage from your account if your plans change.

Do I need to be there for the pickup?

+
No, it's not required. You can delegate a flatmate or leave instructions: we handle the pickup in the time slot you choose. That's the advantage of on-demand self storage over the traditional kind.

Where do you keep my boxes? Is it safe?

+
In an indoor facility in Milan, dry and access-controlled. Every box has a unique code tracked in real time from your account, from pickup to delivery.

How do I book self storage?
