What is a move with storage?
A move with storage combines the transportation of your belongings with a period of temporary storage when they cannot be delivered directly to their final destination.
This is particularly useful if you need to leave your current home before moving into your new one, if you are carrying out renovations, or if you want to organise your move in stages.
Your belongings can be temporarily stored in Metrecubic’s own storage units until you are ready to receive them at their final destination.
With Metrecubic, you can coordinate the different stages of your move with a single team:
Instead of hiring a removal company, finding somewhere to store your furniture and arranging another transport service separately, you can plan the entire process from the beginning.
Metrecubic provides removal services throughout Catalonia and operates its own storage facilities in Girona, Sabadell and Empuriabrava.
When might you need a move with storage?
A move with storage can help when you need to temporarily store all or some of your furniture during a move, renovations or any situation where your belongings cannot be delivered directly to their final destination.
Discover when combining moving and temporary storage can simplify the entire process.
You need to leave your current home before moving into your new one.
This is one of the most common situations.
You need to hand over the keys to your current home, but you can’t access your new one yet. Your furniture and boxes need to be moved out, but there’s nowhere to take them.
In these cases, Metrecubic can handle your move and temporarily store your belongings in one of its storage units. Once you have access to your new home, we can arrange the final delivery.
This way, you don’t need to coordinate two dates that are often beyond your control.
You need to store your furniture during renovations.
Where can you store your furniture during renovations?
If you’re planning to renovate your home, keeping all your furniture inside can make the work more difficult and increase the risk of knocks, dirt or damage.
Metrecubic can help you completely or partially empty your home, transport your furniture and personal belongings to a storage unit and return them once the renovation work is complete.
This solution allows you to:
- Free up space for renovation work
- Protect furniture and personal belongings
- Avoid having boxes scattered around your home
- Adjust the storage period if renovations take longer than expected
- Coordinate collection and return delivery with the same team
You want to move in stages.
Not every move needs to be completed in a single day.
You may want to move the essentials first, take your time getting your new home ready and have the rest of your belongings delivered later.
In that case, we can transport some of your belongings to your new home and temporarily store the items you don’t need yet.
When you’re ready, we’ll complete your move.
You're moving to a smaller home.
If your new home has less space, you may not be able to move all your furniture and belongings in straight away.
In that case, we can transport the items you need to your new home and temporarily store the rest in a storage unit.
This gives you time to decide what you want to keep, sell, give away or move at a later date, without filling your new home with items you don’t yet have room for.
You want to declutter your home before selling it.
If you’re planning to put your home up for sale, removing some furniture and personal belongings can help create more spacious, clutter-free rooms for viewings.
Metrecubic can collect the furniture and belongings you don’t need at home, transport them to a storage unit and keep them there until you sell your property or your next home is ready.
We can then arrange their delivery.
You're temporarily moving to another city or country.
If you’re moving temporarily for work, studies or other reasons, you may not need to take all your belongings with you.
We can collect the furniture and items you wish to leave behind, store them in a storage unit during your absence and arrange their delivery when you return or have a new home ready.
This way, you avoid transporting items you won’t need during your temporary stay.
You need to clear out a family home or an inherited property.
Clearing out a family home can take time, especially when you still need to decide which furniture to keep, share among family members or move to other properties.
We can collect and transport the furniture and belongings you wish to keep and temporarily store them in a storage unit.
This allows you to manage the property without having to make immediate decisions about what to do with all the belongings.
One company for your move and temporary storage
When you’re already organising a move, having to coordinate different service providers means more arrangements, phone calls, schedules and journeys to manage.

Benefits of combining moving and storage
Storage units for furniture during a move
The space you need will depend on the volume of belongings you need to store temporarily.
You can use a storage unit to store items such as:
- furniture, tables and chairs
- sofas and armchairs
- beds and mattresses
- boxes and personal belongings
- clothes and books
- bicycles
- seasonal items
If you’re unsure what size you need, we can help you estimate the approximate volume of your move and the space required to store your furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving and Storage
How do I know what size storage unit I need for my move?
You don’t need to calculate it yourself. At Metrecubic, we help you choose the right storage unit size based on the amount of furniture, household appliances and boxes you need to store.
When preparing your moving quote, we assess the volume of your belongings and recommend the storage space that best suits your needs, so you don’t have to rent more space than necessary.
What happens if I need the storage unit for longer than expected?
Unexpected situations can arise during a move, and the date you can move into your new home isn’t always within your control.
From the outset, you’ll know the weekly price of your storage unit. If you need more time, you can extend your storage period week by week or month by month, depending on your needs.
This allows you to store your furniture for as long as necessary, without having to know the exact delivery date to your new home from day one.
Can I access my belongings while they're in storage?
Yes. At Metrecubic’s facilities, you can access your storage unit 365 days a year using your personal access code.
In addition, each storage unit has a padlock, and you’re the only person with the key. This means you can collect or drop off your belongings whenever you need to, without relying on our team or having to make an appointment.
What information do you need to prepare a quote?
We need to know your current address, the access conditions of your property — floor, lift availability, height and any potential access difficulties — as well as the furniture and belongings you need to move or store.
We can provide a fixed-price quote remotely based on a list, photographs or a video of your belongings. If you prefer, you can also request an in-person visit so we can assess your move.
This way, you can choose the most convenient option and receive a quote tailored to the services you need.
How far in advance should I arrange a move with storage?
Generally, two weeks’ notice is usually enough to organise a move with storage. This gives us time to prepare your quote, choose the right storage space and coordinate the collection of your furniture.
If you already know your moving dates, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible to book the day that suits you best. If you need an urgent move, please get in touch anyway, and we’ll check our availability to offer you a suitable solution.
What does a moving and storage service include?
The service can include collection from your current home, transport, temporary storage and subsequent delivery to your new address. Depending on your moving requirements, additional services such as packing, furniture protection, dismantling and reassembly, or the use of a furniture lift can also be included.
