Self storage or storage with a removal company?
In a self storage unit, you drive the items there yourself, have your own access and pay monthly rent per storage unit. With a removal company with storage, the company collects your belongings, stores them and delivers them when you are ready, and you do not have access to the items during that time. The company's transport gives RUT tax deduction but not the storage, so ask for a quote where the two are separate. Which removal companies in Gothenburg offer storage is listed on storage in Gothenburg.

Storage of furniture: how do the items get to the storage unit?
You drive there yourself, let a removal company drive or borrow what the storage unit offers. Mitt Lager in Gothenburg lends its trailer to customers who are going to or from the storage unit, and Shurgard lends carts on site but does not pick up. If the furniture is going to stand for a long time, choose a storage unit that you can access on the days and times you need. If you need a car or trailer for a day, the renters are on the side to rent a trailer or moving van.

Common questions
Does the warehouse rental provide a box deduction?
No. Skatteverket gives no RUT tax deduction for storage rental. The removal company's work with transporting your belongings to and from the storage or warehouse, on the other hand, is eligible for a deduction.
What is self storage?
Self storage is the English term for self storage: a locked storage unit that you rent per month, drive to yourself and have your own key or code for.
