Self storage • Lyon

Are you preparing for a university course, have been relocated, or have chosen to take up a new position in Lyon? Are there economic development opportunities opening up for you in the region? HOMEBOX supports you whatever your budget, with complete confidence, thanks to its unique expertise in self-storage.

Strategically located between the Massif Central and the Alps, two hours by train from Paris and 1 hour 50 minutes from Marseille, Lyon shines internationally for its technological and pharmaceutical expertise, the vitality of its university hub, and its world-renowned culinary heritage. Whether you are visiting the old town, discovering the winding traboules, admiring the Fourvière Cathedral, or simply savoring the specialties of the world capital of gastronomy, there is always a good reason to visit the city of the Gauls. But that is not all. France's third-largest city boasts unparalleled arts and cultural venues as well as a very dynamic job market, with many positions available in new technologies in particular. That is why it continues to attract new residents every year, seeking a balance between a major urban hub and proximity to nature. HOMEBOX recognized this by choosing to establish no fewer than four storage unit and self-storage centers throughout the Lyon metropolitan area, sometimes right at the city's doorstep: A first space in the north-west of the city at Champagne au Mont d'Or with self-storage units from 1 to 35 m². A space in the south at Vénissieux with storage units from 2 to 50 m². A space to the east at Villeurbanne/Décines-Charpieu with larger spaces from 1 to 100 m². A final one to the north at Saint-Priest with storage units from 2 to 55 m².

Because they are always delivered in the best possible state of cleanliness, our self-storage units in Lyon can easily store files, documents, and any paper-based materials required for the smooth running of a business or public body. We know that the law requires invoices, quotes, and pay slips to be kept for many years. Yet storing archives takes up a significant amount of space in an office, even though they rarely need to be consulted. Choosing a self-storage unit for your archive storage therefore offers several advantages. It first allows you to free up space within your business to, perhaps, welcome new staff or create a break room, without needing to rent a larger premises. The storage unit also ensures the integrity of documents thanks to a controlled temperature and humidity environment, protected from light and pests. You are also free to organize your storage unit as you see fit. For example, a small unit fitted with floor-to-ceiling shelving to store your documents will be more than sufficient for the vast majority of small businesses, SMEs, or associations.

Moving often creates a storage problem for furniture and household appliances. It is indeed a recurring reason for storage unit rental in Villeurbanne, Saint-Priest, or Lyon. For example, it can happen that you have to leave your old home before finding a new one. A two-stage move therefore requires being able to store most of your personal belongings either with family or friends, or in a third-party location. This is where the self-storage facility comes in, offering extra space in sizes suited to your belongings and at a cost per square meter lower than that of traditional real estate. Also, and this is particularly the case in large cities or following a separation, the new home is not always larger or the same size as the previous one. To move into a smaller apartment or house without having to part with wardrobes, tables, dressers, or family sideboards, storing them in a self-storage facility is the most sustainable and accessible solution. The majority of our agencies can lend you a commercial vehicle free of charge to help with your move. Do not hesitate to ask!

HOMEBOX Lyon comprises four centers at the forefront of both security and quality of service. All our storage units for rent in Lyon have their own alarm system guaranteeing an immediate response in the event of intrusion, even for the smallest spaces. For certain centers such as Lyon Sud or Lyon Saint-Priest, we go even further by offering a goods reception service, business address service, or on-site vehicle rental. Finally, we do everything possible to make our storage units accessible to as many people as possible, with the provision of parking spaces, loading bay access, and covered unloading areas.

The rental rate for our self-storage units in Lyon varies according to your needs, in terms of storage space of course, but also in terms of where you wish to store your belongings. A more out-of-town agency will guarantee you a cheaper storage unit in the metropolitan area while still providing the same quality of service. The majority of our Lyon clients are very satisfied with our services and the advice provided by our on-site teams. To make it easier to estimate your budget, we have also chosen not to charge contract opening or closing fees, nor fees for changing the size of your storage unit. The amount of the mandatory insurance depends on the approximate value of the stored items. To get an accurate and tailored price, do not hesitate to request a quote at the self-storage center of your choice in the Rhône.

To find the temporary storage space in Rhône-Alpes best suited to your situation, your first step should be to assess the space you need. To do this, use our online calculator to take stock of your belongings and find out which size will suit you best. The capacity of a storage unit is surprisingly large, so do not be surprised if our tool suggests a self-storage unit up to ten times smaller than your current home or office. Indeed, when well organized, a 4 m² unit can be enough to store the contents of a 40 m² apartment! Next, use our website to locate the center nearest to you. You will then have the choice of getting in touch via our online quote request tool or arranging a phone or in-person appointment directly with our team.

To rent the smallest possible space, the priority is to make the most of every available area by stacking your boxes by weight, shape, sturdiness, and importance, or by investing in freestanding shelves (you cannot drill into the walls of your self-storage unit!). Use sturdy, standard-shaped containers at the bottom of the stack and place lighter or unusually shaped containers at the top. Be sure to label each box in pencil with its contents so you can easily find what you are looking for, and create an "aisle" down the middle so you can move around inside your storage unit. Finally, if needed, you can draw up a plan in advance on paper or on a computer and leave it in a visible spot in your self-storage unit.

Are you looking for a storage solution in Lyon but are not sure which storage provider to choose? Beyond the location of the agency, reading customer reviews is an excellent way to find a safe and reliable self-storage facility near you. Because we have nothing to hide, we invite our customers to share their experience, which we then display on our center pages. When doing your research, pay attention to reviews mentioning cleanliness, security, and the friendliness of the staff. Check that the company responds regularly to questions and that the average review score is not made up solely of ratings without comments, which could suggest fraudulent activity.
