Storage

You pay the first rental period when you sign the contract. This also applies to any additional costs for a lock or items from the moving range. This payment can be made with your debit or credit card.

After that, you don’t have to do anything, because to make it even easier for you, subsequent payments are debited from your account monthly via direct debit. You authorize us for this immediately upon signing the contract. Are you renting a unit for business purposes? Then you will, of course, receive a VAT invoice from us.

When you no longer need the storage unit, you can cancel the contract using the standard form. This also withdraws the authorization for direct debit.

After the final rental period, it is assumed that you have vacated the unit as agreed.

All stored goods must be insured with a reputable Dutch insurance company. Your standard home contents insurance usually covers your belongings for the first three months (sometimes longer) when stored off-site. As this varies by insurance company, we recommend checking with your insurer or broker and adjusting your policy if necessary. Businesses are also advised to contact their own insurance advisor. Depending on the industry or policy, insurers may handle materials and stock stored elsewhere differently. ANAC is not liable.

Our house rules are part of our Terms and Conditions. You will receive clear instructions on how the system works and the general procedures. Do you have questions or are you unsure? Ask our staff for advice or help. We have listed the most important house rules:

• ANAC Storage is intended for storage. It is not permitted to carry out activities other than loading and unloading and packing, unpacking, or repacking goods. In particular, the use of electrical and mechanical tools is not allowed.
• ANAC Storage is accessible daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. It is not permitted to be in ANAC Storage outside of opening hours. You must have left the building and the ANAC Storage grounds by 11:00 PM at the latest. Costs for alarm response due to non-compliance with this rule will be charged to the tenant, with a minimum of €75 per violation.
• The ANAC Storage reception is open every day (Mon-Sun) from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
• It is not permitted to store or keep toxic, flammable, or dangerous substances, perishable and/or strong-smelling items, or livestock in the storage unit. Storage of weapons, medicines, drugs, and illegal goods is not allowed.
• Your access code is strictly personal; prevent misuse. If you have forgotten your access code, you must report to the branch manager in person. You cannot obtain your access code in any other way.
• Use your own access code for your entry and departure and do not let others enter or exit with you. Do not follow others inside or outside yourself; always use your own code.
• Prevent damage to the roller doors and your vehicle. The roller door opens after you enter your access code. Only start driving when the barrier is also fully open. The sliding gate at the rear of the building opens automatically as your vehicle approaches, but not before the roller door behind you has closed.
• The maximum speed in and around the building is 5 km/h, which means at a walking pace.
• Only use the lock provided by ANAC Storage on your storage unit. It is not permitted to add an extra lock to your storage unit.
• In case of late payment or failure to vacate your storage unit on time, your unit will be blocked and additional costs will be charged.
• Do not leave transport trolleys in your storage unit and return them to their place.
• Only use the emergency phone/intercom in case of emergencies.
• Opening emergency exits triggers an alarm and response by the security company. Costs for this are at least €75 and will be charged to you.
• Report damage to the storage unit and other irregularities to the branch manager.
• After checking out, you must leave the storage unit empty, clean, and without the lock. Disposing of your trash and waste from this facility is your responsibility. In case of negligence, the costs of this removal will be passed on to the tenant, with a minimum of €20. Lock drilling costs: €75.
• Ensure that other tenants are not inconvenienced:
• Turn off your vehicle’s engine when stationary
• Dispose of your waste
• No pets
• No noise nuisance
• It is, of course, strictly forbidden to smoke or make fire

Use these handy tips to make temporary storage a success:

• Take furniture apart as much as possible: by disassembling a table, it takes up less space and is easier to transport;
• Some chairs can be stacked upside down on top of each other. Secure the chairs so they don’t fall over and damage other items;
• Make sure you have enough moving boxes. These are available in our shop. The boxes are sturdy, easy to stack, and reusable. Fill the boxes well so they don’t collapse. Place heavy boxes at the bottom and light boxes on top.
• To properly protect dishes and other fragile items, wrap them in packing paper. If you use newspaper, the ink can leave stains that aren’t always removable. Suitable packing paper is available in our shop;
• To keep track of everything, write the contents on each box and make a list of all the stored goods in your unit. Do you have very heavy boxes or boxes with fragile items? Be sure to mark them;
• Store your fridge or freezer clean and dry. Leaving the door slightly ajar prevents musty odors;
• Organize your unit as efficiently as possible: try to keep a walkway clear so you can easily reach everything. Place items you need more often or want to retrieve first at the front.
• Use old sheets and blankets to protect your furniture. You can also purchase moving blankets and bubble wrap in the ANAC Selfstorage shop to protect your furniture;
• Don’t let your belongings get wet during transport. To transport your items dry and safe, you can use one of our trailers with a fixed cover for free;
• You can protect mattresses with mattress covers. Stand the mattress upright and lean other items against it to prevent it from sagging;
• Drawers of cabinets that cannot be disassembled can be used to store small items;
• Remove batteries from devices for long-term storage. These can leak and cause irreparable damage to your equipment;
• Check if your insurance covers off-site storage and how long that coverage lasts;
• You can use our handy trolleys for free inside;
• Do you have a question about packing, transport, or storage? Our staff are happy to help and provide you with advice.
