SELF STORAGE SPACES • BODEGAS • ESPACIOS DE ALMACENAMIENTO's in Costa Rica

Self-Storage Spaces • Mini-Storage or Mini-Bodega place are NOT easy to find in Costa Rica be it space to store a room or household full of things • or a secure space to store important Documents • Valuables (ESPECIALLY if you're traveling) • Parking to store your vehicle for short or long term while you're out of the country. 

Climate controlled • cold storage spaces are even harder to find.

Self-Storage units you can access 24•7•365 are rare in Costa Rica. 

 
Below is a list of secure Self Storage Spaces - many have a 24 hour guard, on-sight manager and/or owner that live on premise. 

Mainly what I list below are individual storage units and in time I will list some warehouse spaces where you also store things.

GREAT NEW BUSINESS IDEA:  I regularly get people asking where to find a secure place with SMALL SPACES to rent for short or longer term to store just 1-3 or so suitcases - mainly near the airport - but also in other areas.  Some are people going back and forth to Costa Rica and would like to leave some things here so they don't have to waste space in their suitcase with the basics, some are moving here and starting to bring things for their new life in Costa Rica and many are tourists - not wanting to schlep things around - be it their surfboards if they're not going to be at the beach the whole time, clothes for cooler weather.  If you hear of any such space, please let me know so I can add it (or if you have a storage area and are open to creating such a space - EVEN if it was a caged in place that others can store things [like they do at the airport]).

ALMACENAMIENTO INSTALACIONES • "BODEGAS" • ESPACIOS DE ALMACENAMIENTO en torno a Costa Rica

Espacios de almacenamiento Mini-Storage o lugar Mini-Bodega NO son fáciles de encontrar en Costa Rica sea el espacio para almacenar una habitación o la casa llena de cosas • o un espacio seguro para guardar importantes Documentos • Los objetos de valor (sobre todo si vas a viajar ) • Aparcamiento para guardar su vehículo para corto o largo plazo mientras estás fuera del país.

Clima controlado • espacios de almacenamiento en frío son aún más difíciles de encontrar.

Unidades de almacenamiento que puede acceder 24 • 7 • 365 son raras en Costa Rica.

A continuación se muestra una lista de los Espacios de Almacenamiento seguras - muchos tienen un gerente y / o propietario de guardia las 24 horas, en vista de que viven en el inmueble.

Principalmente lo que enumero a continuación son unidades de almacenamiento individuales y con el tiempo voy a enumerar algunos espacios de almacén donde también guardar cosas.

GRAN NUEVA IDEA DE NEGOCIO: Recibo regularmente la gente que pregunta dónde encontrar un lugar seguro con pequeños espacios para alquilar por corto o largo plazo para almacenar sólo 1-3 o así maletas - principalmente cerca del aeropuerto - pero también en otras áreas. Algunos son personas que van y vienen a Costa Rica y me gustaría dejar algunas cosas aquí, así que no tienen que perder el espacio en su maleta con lo básico, algunos se están moviendo aquí y empezar a traer cosas para su nueva vida en Costa Rica y muchos son los turistas - no querer arrastrar las cosas - ya sea sus tablas de surf si no van a estar en la playa todo el tiempo, ropa para clima frío. Si usted oye hablar de cualquiera de dichos espacios, por favor hágamelo saber para que yo pueda añadir (o si tiene un área de almacenamiento y está abierto a la creación de un espacio tan - aunque fuera una jaula en el lugar que otros pueden almacenar cosas [como ellos hacer en el aeropuerto]).
