Unique car storage in Germany


Although these cars aren’t actually in storage at Barretts Self Storage, it seems to us that this should be included in our storage blog. This photo was taken at Volkswagen car storage facility in Wolfsbury, Germany which is also known as the Autostadt.

The Autostadt consists of two transparent cylindrical buildings rising 60 meter/200 ft above the ground. The two towers are connected to the Volkswagen factory by a 700 metre underground tunnel. When cars arrive at the towers they are carried up at a speed of 1.5 metres per second. Each tower holds up to 400 cars on 20 levels and can process a car every 45 seconds during peak times. The cars are transported to their handover in the customer centre, where an average of 550 vehicles are handed over each day which equals almost 200,000 cars each year, making it the largest car distribution centre in the world.

Barretts Self Storage can also store cars for you, from one week to as long as you need. Give our friendly staff a call today for a quotation 01865 891406 or visit our website www.barretts-selfstorage.co.uk


Winner of the Environmental Awareness Award 2011/2012


We have recently won The Storage.co.uk Award 2011-12 for Environmental Awareness


These awards are designed to celebrate and promote good practice in the self storage industry. The Awards organisers received large numbers of nominations and the winners were selected from the 1,285 self storage firms now operating in the UK.

Storage.co.uk's Angus Hanton, ‘Self storage is quickly becoming a major industry in the UK, in which it’s increasingly hard for companies to stand out. These awards should inform customers which storage firms are really going that extra mile to provide them with the best service.’


The judges felt our self storage centre demonstrated a clear commitment to the environment by publishing our sustainability policy on our website. This states that we will make every possible effort to prevent waste from going to landfill by composting or recycling it instead; and we try to do business only with other companies that “demonstrate an excellence in sustainable operations”.


The purpose of our recycling policy is to set up and maintain our commitment to sustainable stewardship through recycling, waste prevention, purchasing recycled content products and energy and water conservation.
