1.) The cheapest way to rent a storage space

Renting a whole infrastructure is not the most financially effective way unless you store more than 1,000 pallets on monthly basis with a high in-out flow.

If you want to have your own warehouse you need to think about heating, forklifts and other costs.

The best way for smaller companies when it comes to warehousing is to use warehouse providers which rent and charge only for space used. For example, 16 pallets for 28 days.

AND such alternative service should include loading and unloading services, so you (the customer) don't need to do anything.

Find such service at StoringCargo, the website where you can reserve warehousing as easily as a hotel room.‌

There are a lot of warehouses in Europe. Most attractive are those located near ports, airports, and cities where logistical corridors cross.

👉 Warehousing in the Netherlands is very attractive, largely because of the Port of Rotterdam and the country's strategic location. Warehouses in the Netherlands are heavily used for container loading and unloading and transshipment services. Particularly attractive cities for warehousing in the Netherlands are Rotterdam and Venlo.

👉 Warehouses in Germany are popular because of their industry, and many companies export to Germany and need temporary warehouses. The most attractive cities for warehousing in Germany are Dűsseldrof, Frankfurt, Berlin, and Hamburg.

👉 Italian warehouses, especially Milano warehouses, are popular for 5-10 day storage times. Milano is very popular when it comes to warehousing and distribution practices.

👉 Warehousing in the UK is also popular, especially for temporary purposes when importing goods. London represents one of the most attractive warehouse locations in Europe. Indian, US, and Chinese companies frequently choose warehousing in the UK as their entry point into the rest of Europe.
