Long-term storage while you're away

Leaving Bahrain for a summer, a posting, or longer? The usual options are paying rent on a flat that stands empty, or selling everything and buying it again in a year. A storage unit is the third option: your things wait in a locked, air-conditioned room in Tubli, you manage everything from your phone wherever you are, and you pay for a few square metres instead of a whole flat.

Built for being away

Everything from your phone

Rent, sign, and pay online in minutes — and keep managing the unit from any country until the day you're back.

Safe while you're away

You hold the only key, CCTV and an alarm cover the building, and the AC and dehumidifiers run day and night.

A price that can't move

The published monthly rate is everything you pay — no deposit, no fees — and it's frozen for two years.

How it works, start to finish

Before you fly

Rent the unit online — picking a size, signing, and paying takes minutes, and you can move in the same day. Then empty the flat over a weekend: park at the unit's door, use our trolleys, and stack high — the more you use the height, the smaller and cheaper the unit you need.

While you're away

There's nothing to do. The rent is charged to your card every month, and your unit stays locked, with CCTV, an alarm, and the AC running the whole time. If a payment ever fails, you get an email immediately and we retry over the following days — you can fix it from the portal wherever you are. And if you need something from the unit, anyone you trust with your key can pick it up during access hours.

When you're back

Empty the unit and end the contract online that same month — there are no exit fees. If you stay abroad longer than planned, you don't need to do anything: the contract continues, month to month, at the same price.

What it costs

The furniture and boxes from a one-bedroom flat fit in a medium unit — from BHD 38.75 a month. A family home needs a large unit. Compare that with the rent on a flat that sits empty all year: the unit costs a small fraction of it. Monthly prices are on the units page, and the size guide shows what fits in each one.

Prepare your things for a year away

Appliances

The week before you fly:

  • Defrost the fridge and freezer fully, dry them, and store with doors ajar
  • Drain the washing machine and leave its door open too
  • Run a last empty cycle with the dishwasher and dry it out

Textiles, mattresses, and sofas

Everything fabric goes in clean and dry — laundering first is what prevents smells and mold a year later. Use breathable covers; sealed plastic traps whatever moisture is left.

What not to store

A few things shouldn't sit in any unit for a year:

  • Anything that lives, rots, or leaks — food, plants, aerosols, fuel; the full prohibited list is short and sensible
  • Papers an embassy or employer might ask for — keep passports and attested certificates with you, not in the unit
  • Batteries — take them out of every device; left for a year, they leak

Before you lock up

Ten minutes of admin saves headaches from abroad:

  • Photograph the packed unit and keep a rough inventory list
  • Keep anything someone might fetch for you later near the door
  • Check your payment card's expiry covers your time away

PCS and deployment storage

Bahrain is a one-year military tour for a lot of people. If you're leaving on PCS orders or going on deployment, put your household goods in a unit without guessing an end date: the contract is month to month, you keep paying from your next duty station, and you end it the month your things ship out. Just arrived without your HHG? A small unit holds whatever your furnished flat has no room for. The facility is in Tubli, a short drive from Juffair.

You also don't have to be the one who visits: the unit opens with your key, so a spouse or a shipmate you trust can take it, pick up what you need, and ship it to you.

Not leaving? Seasonal and personal storage

Long-term doesn't have to mean leaving the country. A personal storage unit absorbs the household overflow that never fits: camping and beach gear in winter, winter clothes in summer, sports equipment between seasons, holiday decorations, and the hobby that outgrew its cupboard. One small unit turns a cluttered flat back into living space — month to month, so seasonal storage can genuinely follow the seasons.

And sometimes the reason is simply privacy. A unit is yours alone — you hold the only key, and nobody at home is asking what's in the boxes. Whatever you'd rather keep out of a shared flat or the family house, it stays your business.

You get an email straight away, and we retry the charge automatically over the following days. You don't need to be in Bahrain to fix it: update your card or pay from the online portal, wherever you are.

Rent is the same published monthly price all year — and it's frozen for two years, so long-term storers are protected from increases.

Yes — AC and dehumidifiers run 24/7 against Bahrain's heat and damp, and your individually locked unit sits under CCTV and an alarm system.

No — we store household goods only, from a few boxes to a full home's furniture. Vehicle storage isn't something we offer, so a car or POV needs a parking arrangement instead.

Yes. Your unit is locked with your own lock and you hold the only key. As long as it's not on the prohibited list in the rental agreement, what you store is your business alone.
