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.
2.) Popular Storage locations across Europe
There are a lot of warehouses in Europe. Most attractive are those located near ports, airports, and cities where logistical corridors cross.
