What moves the price

Published 2026 figures cluster at €35 to €55: Box2Box lists €45 for a 1 m x 1 m locker, Central Trasteros a small 0.8 to 1.5 m² unit from €45, CABE a locker from €35, and Trastis and Spain Handbook €35 to €55 for 1 to 1.5 m² in Barcelona. Some operators quote before 21% VAT, so ask whether VAT is included. Lockers are sometimes sold by volume (1 m³) rather than floor area.

Ask before you book

  • Is the price with or without VAT?
  • Is insurance included, and up to what amount?
  • Is a locker measured in m² or m³?

How we compiled these ranges

We read published price guides, clinic price lists, comparison sites and official fee schedules, cross-checked each figure against at least two sources wherever they exist, and show the range they agree on. Where only one source exists we say so on the line. The ranges come from 166 sources across the whole price checker, last fully checked 14 October 2026, with additions checked on 22 October 2026. We do not use paid placements, and no listed business influences the numbers. Treat every figure as a starting point for a conversation, never as an offer, and confirm the current price and what is included before you book. Nothing here is medical, legal, tax or financial advice. Spot a price that looks out of date? Email hello@barcelonaenglishpros.com.
