While you're living your best life travelling around fabulous destinations, having your precious items looked after makes sense. Whether you're planning on having a house sitter, friends check in or subletters doing a short stay; long-term storage will be the answer to all your problems.

Any items you can't live without and want to keep safe can be put in storage. It will free up plenty of space and allow you to rent out your place if you're ready to make some extra cash while you're away. Luckily, organising long-term storage doesn't have to be a total headache. With TAXIBOX, you can book a unit over a cup of coffee. They'll keep your stuff secure and leave you to travel around without a care in the world.

Sort your stuff

No one wants to return from a long, exhausting trip to a messy place overflowing with junk. So declutter and give yourself a fresh, clean start. Try to be logical and ruthless when you're combing through your stuff. For anything you don't want to keep, we've narrowed down your options: sell, donate or bin it.

Are you stuck in a cleaning rut? Here are a few ideas of what to keep.

  • Out-of-season-clothing. Consider where you'll be travelling to and the weather at your destination.
  • Valuables and sentimental items. This one's a no-brainer. There are some items that need to be kept safe.
  • Furniture. Securely store big-ticket items you don't want your tenant to use. So your favourite beautiful couches etc. will be in tip-top shape when you return.
  • Your library. No one wants to be lugging around hardcovers. Audiobooks are the way to go.

Once you've decided what needs to stay, make sure you get your stuff out of your place. So they'll be plenty of room for your tenant. The ideal option is to find a top-quality storage unit where your precious possessions will be safely stored out of everyone's way.
