If you are a student in Brussels looking for safe and easy storage solutions that fit in with your schedule and lifestyle, not many options exist. You could store things with friends or family, or rely on campus lockers, but these options don’t allow for complete control or high-level security. The best way to deal with your student storage needs is to make use of Flexistock Self Storage facilities in Brussels.  

Whether you need somewhere to temporarily store your stuff over the summer or if you need long-term extra space to make up for your cramped student accommodation, Flexistock has a solution that will work. We understand most students are on a tight budget and that’s why we offer:  

• €1 for your first month*

Why students need self storage

Here are some reasons why self storage is ideal for students who need extra space: 

• Support when moving: Self storage is helpful for storing belongings when transferring dorms or moving out of apartments at the end of the academic year. It’s the ideal stop-gap solution when changing student accommodation or visiting family during the summer break.  
• Make the most of limited space: Storage units offer extra space for those living in small dorm rooms or apartments. Do you have way more stuff than at the beginning of the year? We’ve been there. Whatever you can’t fit in your room, you store it. And best of all, you can easily split the costs of storage units with your friends or roommates. 
• Improved security: Self storage facilities provide much more peace of mind than student lockers in shared university and college living spaces. Self storage access controls and monitoring offer around-the-clock assurance that your property will remain safe from unauthorised access. Compare this to the average campus where students, staff and contractors can come and go as they please.  
• Enjoy new hobbies guilt-free: Being a student means trying out new things. But when you are sharing compact student accommodation, the last thing you want to do is invade other people’s space with sports gear, art supplies or that brand new DJ mixing desk you found on sale. Make space for your new favourite student pastime with Flexistock’s affordable self storage for students in Brussels. Whether it’s for a singular mountain bike or a canoe and paddles!

Frequently asked questions about renting a student storage unit

How do I know how much storage space I need?

Choosing the right unit depends on what you’re storing and for how long. As a student, your needs might change with the academic year, so it’s worth thinking ahead. 

Here’s how to choose: 

• Make a list of everything you want to store. Think textbooks, winter clothes, sports gear or your bike. Use the Flexistock space calculator — it makes this process very simple. 
• Estimate the space taken by your boxes, bags, and any small furniture from your dorm. Measure the width, height and length when making rough calculations.  
• Decide if you’ll need regular access. For example, if you’re storing club materials or art supplies you may need monthly or quarterly, you would ideally want a unit slightly larger than the things you store, so you have walking room inside to easily add or remove items from storage.
• Consider whether your storage needs might grow in the future, like when preparing for a semester abroad or internship. 

Still unsure? The Flexistock Brussels team is here to help you visualise our storage unit sizes and find the one that fits your student life. This means no overpaying, no wasted space. Call us on 0800 300 27 or contact us via email and let’s talk about your options.
