Affordable storage units with jestocke.com

18 January 2016

If you’ve ever tried to find a temporary or long-term space to store your furniture, you’ll know it can be a real headache. The prices for storage units vary from one provider to another and are very inconsistent depending on the location and services offered. This lack of transparency explains why it’s not always easy to find a storage unit to rent. Yet, according to an Opinion Way survey, 53% of French people say they 'lack space to store their belongings, whatever they may be.'

We discussed this with Laure Courty, who started from this observation to found jestocke.com, one of the first sites that allows individuals to rent out their unused square metres.

What is it all about?

Jestocke.com offers an efficient and friendly alternative, between individuals, to significantly reduce the price of a storage unit and provide a solution for anyone lacking space.
